EDUCATOR DIES ffiOM POISON WEST HELD

Baleigh Norris Elrod, Who Was to Teach At Normal This Year, ... the Victim.

An investigation of the death of Raleigh Morris Elrod, 45 years old, 1444 North New Jersey street, Indianapolis, former superintendent of schools at Rnightstown and Ligonier, was begun yesterday afternoon by Dr. Richard A. Poole, coroner of Marion county. Shortly after noon Mr. Elrod left the members of his family and went up stairs. In a short time he came down and announced to his wife that he had taken poison by mistake.

A physician was called and worked for an hour in a futile attempt to save 'Elrod's ljfe. Mrs. Elrod told Coroner Foole that her husband had suffered a nervous breakdown and had been ill all summer.

Until last June Mr. Elrod had been superintendent of schools at Ligonier, v/hen he resigned to accept a place on tile faculty of the Indiana State Normal school at Terre Haute. He was head of the Ligonier schools for three iyears. For eight years prior to that fie was superintendent of the schools at

Knightstown.

Illness Prevents Trip.

In previous summers he had attended the summer school at Columbia university. This summer he was unable to finish the course and receive the master's degree, because of illness. According to Mrs. Elrod, he had expressed the fear several times that he would not be able to take up his work this tall at the State Normal school.

V Coroner Poole learned that Elrod had taken nearly all of the contents of a bpttle of poison. Members of the family declare that Mr. Elrod kept his medicine in,the bathroom and that the bottle of poison was kept in the same case.

He was a graduate of Indiana university and the Normal school. He is survived by the widow, an 8-year-old son, and his father, A. N. Elrod, all of whom live in Indianapolis. A sister, Mr^. Nora Waills, lives at Linton, Ind., and a brother, Ross Elrod, at Butler, lnd..

President W. W. Parsons, of the Indiana State Normal school, said he was milch surprised to hear of Mr. Elrod's 4^Ath and that he was at a loss to account for it. Mr. Elrod's name was to

come before the Normal board at its ^riext meeting as a candidate for the pbsition of assistant professor in the department of education. President v Parsons said Elrod was a graduate of the Indiana State Normal school and also Indiana university and that he was ^successful school superintendent. He resigned a position in the schools of

Ligonier last June.

PUIS HUGHES ARIGHT

Candidate Has Had Much to Say About Fork Bill—Moss Shows Who Passed It.

Editor The Tribune: Mr. Hughes, republican candidate for president, has criticized the rivers and harbors appropriation bill and has characterized it as "pork barrel" legislation. I shall not attempt to defend the bill. I voted against it at all stages of its progress. I also voted against the previous bill of this character. The criticism of Mr. Hughes therefore becomes a commendation of that part of my official record.

It is easy, however, to be misled by general statements uttered in the heat of a campaign, and I wish to call attention to the non-partisan character of the vote by which this bill paased the house. If Mr. Hughes' criticism can be justified then it must be borne by at least seventy-four republican members of the house, as that number voted for it on a roll call. One so-, cialist and one prohibitionist also voted to pass it. There were 135 democrats who voted in the affirmative forty democrats and ninety-three republicans voted in the negative. More than 30 per cent of the negative vote came from the democratic side, while more than 35 per cent of the affirmative vote came from the republican side. Had no democrat' voted on this roll call, the bill would have been beaten by only seventeen votes.

Four democratic member^ from Indiana voted for the bill, while six voted against it, and one ,member did not vote on this roll call. The two republican members from ^Indiana divided, one voting for and one aganst the bill

A second roll call was taken when the bill came back from the senate, carrying increases amounting to about $2,000,000. On this roll call only two votes were cast for, the bill by democratic members from Indiana, and eight votes were cast-against it. The republican vote was cast as upon the previous roll call—one for and one against the bill. Thjs short analysis clearly shows that the vote was not cast along party lines.

INVITE DEMOCilAIS TO BIG RALLY SATURDAY

Greencastle Leaders Flan Rousing Reception for Evan Stotspnberg —Local Campaign Flans.

A number of Terre Haute democrats will go to Greencastle Saturday to attend fhe big rally there which will be addressed by Evan Stotseaberg, attorney general of the state. The Terre Haute delegation will go by automobile and interurban. The address of the attorney general is scheduled for two o'clock.

Democrats of Vigo county will hold their first weekly rally in the democratic headquarters Thursday evening, when all of the local candidates will be given an opportunity to address the voters on trfe question at issue in the coming campaign. Several of the well known workers and all of the precinct committeemen will be in attendance to assist in the work, and the indications point to large crowd.

Noted Speakers Come.

This meeting is to be the first of a series of rallies to be held in the demo cratic headquarters each Thursday evening until time for the election. George A. Moorhead, county chairman, has just returned from Indianapolis, where he met the members of the state committee and received the promise that Vigo county is to have such speakers for these meetings as Thomas Marshall, on Sept. 15 Ralph Moss, Sept. 13 E. E. Slack, Fred Feick, labor leader Claude "L. Bowers, Thomas Taggart, Meredith, Nicholson, Judge W. H. Eichorn, Phillip Zoei*cher, M. A. Thornton, J. A. M. Adair, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor Champ Clark. Ollie James, Oscar Underwood, and W. D. Wilson, secretary of'labor.

With the arrangement of thoste rallies together with the precinct meetings to be held in the various parts of the city and county the local democrats are kept busy and they say their efforts toward perfecting an organization which will assure the election of the county, state and national ticket Nov. 7 are having gratifying results.

The county candidates have been visiting the voters in a personal campaign for some time and they report that feeling for the present administration is stronger now than it has been at any other time, especially so among the farmers who are receiving exceptional prices for their products and among the working people who have been benefited by the passage of legislation favoring the laboring classes.

County Chairman Moorhead said: "lntead of the Wilson sentiment abating it is growing. The president's peace policies meet the approval of most of the people, they feel that he will solve the Mexican trouble without the loss of the lives of American soldiers. and there is a spirit of contentment with the Wilson administration that makes me believe the people are going to give the president a tremendous endorsement at the polls in November."
