JACKSON TO STICK:— Though every leading newspaper in Indiana is demanding the resignation of Governor Jackson, he refuses to obey and declares the demands come only from those papers which have always opposed him.. So far we have failed to find a single newspaper of standing that has defended his position at this time ashen the court held that though guilt bad been established as to the act, concealment had not been proven and consequently ordered a verdict of acquital on the statute of limitations. The South Rend Tribune, Elkhart Truth, Gary Post, Indianapolis Star, Indianapolis Times and many other papers published strong editorials Which would certainly effect a man except he had an elephant hide. The Indianapolis News and Fort Wayne News-Sentinel said in part: "Governor Jackson emerges from the court wholly ynviudicated. The question of his guilt was not gone into. He is free, not because he has been acquitted as innocent, hut solely because the prosecution was held to be barred. Hoving failed to ftiy< t the state’s evidence, or even to shake it on cross-examination, it must stand, and it is overwhelming. There is only one thing, as we see it, for the governor to do, and that is resign. The state of Indiana can not afford to have as its governor a man against whom stands an accusation of conspiracy to bribe another governor, and an accusation supported by such a weight of evidence. There was several months ago a demand that Jackson resign. It will be enormously reinforced as a result of the trial, so regrettably interrupted before the governor had a chance to meet the charges. Utterly unvindicated as he is, Mr. Jackson should retire, and at once, fioni the governorship. That is

a duty which he owes to the state and to his party, and by performing it he can atone somewhat for his failure to perform other duties. He should spare Indiana the humiliation of having him at the head of its government. —lndianapolis News. “In instructing the jury, the court made it clear that the governor's discharge was solely on the ground that concealment had not been proved—solely, in other words, on a technicality. W e congratulate the governor's legal counsel. We have no congratulations for the governor. Moreover, in the light of the circumstaiuccts which attended his acquittal and iu view of the fact that the state's strioits us- against the governor was by no means set at naught in fact, but only us to when the acts charged were committed, we think we voice the sentiments of a great majority of the people of Indiana when wc say that Governor Jackson’s usefulness us chief executive of this state is definitely at an end. lie, therefore, owes it to liitnaelf, to his constituents and to the good name of this sovereign commonwealth Io resign without delay.-Fort Wayne News-Sentinel. The Indiana Democratic Editorial Associntion mid-winter meeting which dosed yesterday was the largest, best ami most enthusiastic ever held. The crowd was so great that a hundred could uot be seated in the Riley room,

though the halls outside were used for table room The program was clean and splendid with Finis Garret, democratic leauer In congress and Ludlow, Washington corree pondent as principal speakers. Dale J. Crlttenberger, the deam of the association, presided as toastmaster and . never was in better form. Enthusiasm reached a high peak when it doeLn candidates for state office were presented with one minute limits. Fay Kitselman, republican state chairman says he has nothing to say about the result of the Jackson trial nr the demands being made over the sthtx- for his resignation. Nothing to say? »Wliy not? Does he thus silently give consent to a man so disgraced and dishonored remaining as governor of this great state, handling millions of dollars and controlling through his powerful ineajis? Does lie think we should wait another year before We start cleaning up the sorry iness? We should think he would have plenty to say.

The Ohl Home Week club has been launched. Won't you join’’ If you | won’t give live dollars to assure such an event, then all the talk is idle and Jwe don’t really mean it. This plan • will test us out. If it goes over, we can give the greatest fall festival ever held in this section. What die you say? The plan should bring in a thousand members in the next ten days. The candidacy of James Eli Watson for president is to be formally launched in a meeting at the famous Columbia Club, (famous for several reasons) on next Thursday evening land the surprise announcement of i - why the senator is getting in. will be ' made by our own Albert Vestal, whip 'of the house. It seems to be a very fitting occasion. The red. white and blue buttons |or the Decatur Oild Home Week club are here. Join now, pay your five dollars and wear a button. It means rot only that the big event can be

- given but it means also that this I community stands shoulder to shouldt 4r for all good things which are de- ■ signed to benefit every one. We thought the winter was going to slip by without any snow that , could really be called snow, but our , doubts vanished when we looked out of the window this morning. What are they trying to do with Hickman anyway? They can’t hang him twice surely, much as he deserves it. Wear«one of the red, white and blue Decatur Old Home Week buttons. Its a sign of loyalty. Yes sit;, e-bob, the groundhog knew his stuff. -o ——— *¥¥¥¥¥*¥*¥*♦* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * 57 ¥¥»¥ ¥¥¥**¥*« SATURDAY'S FOVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAK-Hookup 9:00 pm.
