HE OBJECTS One of the State Officials Objects to Governor He Says He Will Ride on Railroad Trans portation From Now to the End of Time. Special Telegram To The Democrat Indianapolis, June 2—" While I do not desire to get into a controversy with Governor Hanly, still 1 shall be compelled to let him know that I was elected to the office I hold with the understanding that my office is not an adjunct to the governor’s ofti ;e. ” One of the most prominent of the state's officers spjke those words today and left no doupt as to whether or not he meant them "Governor Hanly," he continued, "can refuse all the railroad transportation he wants to, but he can’t refuse it for me. I shall continue to help myself to all the free transportation I can get I won't try to hide it from the governor and he can do as he pleases while Ido the same. There is nothing in the law that created the office I hold that says the governor shall decide what I shall do about accepting passes, and I therefore will continue to enjoy the kind privileges extended by the railroads ” And this officer transacts more business with the railroads, perhaps, than any other one state official. So much for the way he looks at it. There ar« others who view the governor’s stand in an exactly oppjsite attitude. "The governor is supposed to execute the laws," said one,- "and he ptinted out that it is against the law to accept railroad pa sees. Personally, I’m glad of it, because it means an end to the bother of asking for passes for mv friends or so-csiled pass seeking friends.” By the way; it isn't hard to tell which of the officials aro glad the governor has taken the stand he did. All one has to do is to ask the officials this question: "Will you get me a railroad pass to , I've got to go there soon?" If the answer is that the governor holds pass taking unlawful it’s a cinch he likes the governor’s stand If he is "all right," you can wager that he s angry at the governor.

(Special Correspondence) Geneva, Ind., June 2—Already there is some talk among the business men of this place about having one of those rousing good, old fashioned Fourth ot July celebrutio ns and although there has been nothing definitely done in regard to the matter, it is very probable that there will be something doing in a short time. Not many years ago, just ten days before the Fourth, the business, men decided that they wanted to celebrate, and a vigorous advertising campaign was started. Automobiles,livery rigs, telephones, telegaph and the mail service were used to such good advantage that as a result, Geneva entertained the largest crowd in her history. Today they have better facilities for entertaining large crowds and more amusement places. The Geneva Park club is pushing the work at the race track, and it is probable that some of the events of the day would be held there. If the people do decide to celebrate, they will certainly do it right, and when they say they will have a big celebration the people may rest assured that they will get their money’s worth.
