PARKE COUNTY EESENTS IDEA SHAT VOTERS ARE BOSS RULED

Loyal Citizen And Father Qf Soldiers Says Sanders Ought To Be De»* feated And Moss

Elected.

By Staff Correspondent.

TtOCKYTl.,T.E, Intl., Oct 24.—Citizens of Parke county, generally era going to stand by President Woodrow Wilson and elect Ralph W. Moss tt congress and no amount of clap-trap calling Mr. Mom pro-German or any other names 'Everett Sanders may hurl in his direction are having much "Weight with people of Parke county.

Here it is the common opinion that 8anders has blundered when he startq^fd out to charge F^elph Moss with being pro-German. Neither did the

Charge that the people of Parke county are boss-ruled and living under a political tyranny. In a. statement today regarding the situation, Mr. John S. llfcFaddin, one of the foremost citizens of Rockville and Parke county said:

I regret that Mr. Harry K. Stormont, *f Indianapolis, in the employment of Mr. Sanders or the republican committee. has seen fit to attempt to shake 'the skeleton of my activities in democratic cir«Jes in Parke county as a

J^ed flag before the political bull.

Jteendevoting

I have liv-ed in .Bark* county all ttfy tf«, whatever talents 1 have blessed with, 1 hope, to her betterment and advancement.

A few years ago, in a very animated district contest In our party, the Terre Haute Star favored me wtth its unqualified support and approval. In its iasue of Oct. 21, 1915, it. evidently with the approval of Mr. Sanders, attacks |ne as a

local

political boss. What has

happened to change its attitude? "Why is th's done? Not io affect me or my Standing in this district or my community I feel sure, but in an effort to create a false issue, and by so doing i.n.lure Mr. Moss la the present cam |aic:n.

Mr. Sanders has been for many years fnv personal friend. Not only have our fersonal relations been most pleasant, but our business relations have also been close. The law firma of which We have been members have represented ihe Terre Haute. Indianapolis & Eastern Traction company in this circuit. and we have defended many esses together in the last ten years—in fact, ever since Mr. Sanders has been in the active practice of the law. I have but the kindest personal feelings for Mr Sanders, but politically I am a democrat,, and hope to see a congress cf the same political faith as the presiLent elccted. 4 )(rtiriii( the AVaf. s atn personally interested in tlfi

Conduct of this war: I have three eons •—one £t years of age and twift boys 3 8 ears of age. All three are now inducted into the United States army. 1 have consistently supported the Red i'ross, the Yf M. .A. and all similar Ivar organizations. I was one of the -v erijfinal promoters of and aided in the

Arganization of the war chest in P®rke e.ounty. 1 am now chairman of its Investigating committee. I was until recently chairman of the four-ni1«vite j^'n, and also the speakers' bureaus for all war work in Parke county, ineluding Liberty Loan drives, and only r**ignad this position to become chair1 an of the Parke County Council of l"efen?e, appointed to membership at the unanimous request of the individual members of the. council by the judtfe ®f the Parke c.ifcuit court.

As to Liberty Loan Bonds. I have bought according to my ability to buy. My time has been devoted to these tnatters, and why I should be dragged into the political limelight cannot tinderatand. even if Mr. Sanders' adYisers believe they can injure Mr. Moss by so doing. But enough as to the personal element.

Now an to the political charges of JMr. Stormont, When President "Wilson was first Inaugurated. under the republican administration of the civil service law V» had no rural route carriers in Parke County who were democrats. The entire 22 were republicans. Stilt we are lold that politics should be kept out f»f the postal service by democrats When in power. Did our republican friends .keep politics out of the postal ^,V aervice After more than two years of

%s .. PARIS, Wednesday, Oct. 33.— (Havas).—The question of the devastation wrought by the Germans in northern France was the topic of a discussion in parliament today.

In the senate, Antonio Dubost, president, asked that victory should give all its right to chastisement of the offerer and reparation for the crime. "The enemy will b» condemned to restitutions for which we will take guarantees^ not being ahle to rely upon his words." said Stephen Pichon, foreign minister.

M. Delory. tn a speech denouncing the actions of the Germans in forcing the population of Lille to work within the sone of artillery fire, exp^ssed the hope that victory might be the means of liberating Deputy Enghels, who was imprisoned by the invaders for his-denunciation of their barbarism,

STATE HEALTH BOARD 111 MIRE BAN

IKpiAXAPOUS, Ind.. Oct. 24.—Reports reaching th« state board- of health today indicated the general influenza situation throughout the state has not improved any and if it is possible the ban against public meetings now in effect will be continued by the state board at its meeting tomorrow. Under certain restrictions the order may be lifted in a few counties where the disease is believed to hava spent its force insofar as schools are concerned, it was said today.

Statistics compiled from reports in the hands of Captain W. F. King, of the United States public health service, who also is assistant secretary of the state board of health, show that about one person in four hundred with the disease ha.s died. The number of cases reported officially to the state board of Indiana is 40,341, and deatn3 reported number 472. There have been many more causes of influenza and deathe caused thereby which as yet have not been reported, it is said."

SURRENDEROR RULE BY PEOPLE ISWHSONEDICT

If Allies Must Deal With Autocracy of Germany There Can Be Ifo Armistice Parley.

PRESIDENT WILSON S BEPLY ACCORDS WITH ALLIED VIEWS

Note It Dispatched Eleven Hours After German Reply* It Received And Following Frequent Con« sultations With Allies.

WASHINGTON, Oct 24.—Xo armistice except under conditions of surrender.

s

No peace with the k&ise# and his war lords, now or-later. Thus President Wilson has given in advance his own final decision informing.the new spokesman of the Germans that he has acceded to their request that he take up with the allies their plea for an armistice and peace negotiations.

The president's reply to the latest German note has gone yi its way to Berlin. It was delivered to Frederick Oederlln, the Swiss charge here, last night at 9 o'clock and soon afterward was on the cables in plain English^ no time being lost to convert the president's uncompromising sentences into code.

Apparently the eirhanges whtcfi been in progress between Washington and the allied capitals sinca the wireless version of the German communication was lacked up Monday terminated late in the afternoon, enabling tho president to reply just eleven hours after the official text had been deliverwfc..,.

Assurances' Are Ooubtetf. Assurances of the present authorities at Berlin fchajt they represent the German people, that they accept the conditions of peace he has laid down and that the German armed forces on land atid sea*will observe the rules of civilized warfare, are accepted by the president only as changing the situation sufficiently to warrant him informally submitting the questions involved to the nations with which the United States is associated in the war.

The decision of America's co-bel-ligerents is awaite'd with scarcely less interest than is the effect of the note on the German people, who plainly are told that the United States cannot discuss peace with those who hitherto have been masterti of Germany's policy, because the nations of tho world do not and cannot trust them. If these military masters and monarchial autocrats must be dealt with now or in the future, the president said, the United States and the allies can demand nothing but surrender.

Military Men'to Decide.

Ill notifying Germany that its request had been transmitted to the allies, the president said he had suggested to them that, if they are disposed to effect peace upon the terms and principles now accepted by the present German authorities, their military advisors and those of the United Srtates be asked if thev deem an armistice possible from a military point of view, to submit terms of an armistice that will insure the associated governments unrestricted power t© enforce peace upon the conditions accepted by Germany.

In the view military observers here, such terms would include occupation of strategic points in Germany, demobilization of the German armies, the turning over of the German navy and the removal of the means of equipping military and naval forcei.

Mr. O'Leary's son, Charles "Pat" O'Leary, now a lieutenant in the United States army, is in France somewhere in the thick of the fight. Young O'Leary was one of the first of the selects to go from Vigo county to Camp Zachary Taylor, Louisville, in September, 1917.

CREENLEAE PETITION

Other Members

of

The School Board

Ask That Injunction Be Dissolved—Text ©f.Petitioa.

A motion to dissolve the temporarj* restraining order, granted in the case of George A. Greenleaf against John R. HarkAess et al. by Judge William T. Gleason, in the Superior, Court, was filed in that court, Thursday morning.

The motion to dissolve set out that in accepting the appointment as inspector of buildings, factories and ,'7 workshop?, the plaintiff vacated the position as a member of the board of school trustees, according to the constitution of the state of Indiana, and also according to the supreme court of the state. ,,

The motions further sets forth thut the restraining order was based'largely on an opinion of the attorney antral. of the state, and that this opinion was erroneous in that it holdd that the office of buildings, factories and «v TKshops was abolished by an act of 19io, whereas this office wis in reality ne\er abolished. The text of the school board petition is as follows:

State of Indiana, County of Vtgo. In the Superior Court of Vigo County, September term. 1918. George W. Greenleaf vs. John R. Harkness et al.

The defendants in the above entitled cause of action separately and severally move the court to dissolve the temporary restraining order therein granted for the following reasons, to-wit:

First. The plaintiff. George W. Greenleaf, on the 28th day of September. 1918, accepted the appointment of inspector of buildings, factories and workshops, under the laws of the state -of Indiana, at a salary of two thousand dollars ($2,000,00) per annum, and afl necessary traveling expenses and hotel btlls. when engaged in the performance of his duties as such inspector. and the constitution of the state wherein he is of Indiana, and the Supreme Court decisions* of the state of Indiana, are conclusive to the end that in so accepting said office of inspector of buildings, factories and workshops, the said plaintiff vacated his position as a member of the board Of schooi trustees of the school city of Terre Haute, Ind. The defendants therefore have no power to unite, combine, eonapifre. confederate together, or to agree to oust said plaintiff from said office of school trustee, nor to put plaintiff out of the possession of said office for the reason that he has already abandoned and vacated said office under the terms and the provisions of the state constitution.

Second. Temporary restraining orders issued without notice should run only until notice can be given..

Third. Said temporary restraining order is based largely upon an opinion of the attorney general of the state submitted to the court at the time same was issued, which opinion is erroneous in this, to-wit:

Said opinion holds that the office of Inspector of buildings, factories and workshops was abolished by the act of 1913, and never recreated, and as a matter of fact the act of 1913 never abolished any office, but on the other

Thursday morning George W. Moorhead- democratic county chairman, asked to be made a party to suit, making the rejection qf the. voting machines unanimous^^ ,* Z.

The republican suit was fiied by Robert E. Lee Thursday afternoon. Judge Gleason being a 'candidate himself, it was the immediate conclusion that he would immediately transfer the suit, this being according to law, custom and every precedent. When a judge is elected, he is required to withdraw from every action in ^hich he is engaged which would come before his court, so it would be only natural that Judge Gleason would not want to sit in judgment in a. case virtually -one of the parties.'

The complaint states that in 47 of the 50 precincts in the county the commissioners intend to use the voting machine, while in the other three the ballot form

voting will be used. Tt

alleges that voters have trouble in operating the Voting machine and do not undersland the method of-voting, and also that the machines can be pasily manipulated for fraudulent purposes. It is further charged that the machines can be tampered with by a person outside of the booth ana nxed so that it will not register the vote cast.

Lee -asks thai Commissioners Ransom Phillips, William Altekruse and Thomas Mulvihill be restrained from delivering the machines to the various voting places, and that Election Commissioners James J.

Bulletin."

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-^eKtmu*d progress by the Americans on the battle front north of Verdun was reported today by Gen. Pershing. Enemy positions east of the Meuse were pens-* trated yesterday and west of the fi|euae Bantheville was completely occupied and the American line established en a ridge northwest of the village.

Fifteen enemy airplanes and one observation balloon were shot down inthe course of many combats in which three American balloons were de-k etroyed and six planes failed to return.

BULLETIN.

wrrfr THE AMERICAISL ARWY NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Oct. 24. —(By The Associated Press.)—American patrols early today penetrated' deeply into the German lines n the region of Grand Pre and north of Verdun. The enemy has been using his artillery and machine puns freely along" the entire front, v*

fry the Associated Press.

Pield Marshal Uaig'a third ind fourth armies, having smashed through the outer defense of the Ftratcglcally important lines south of Valenciennes, continue successfully to hammer their way toward Maubeuge arid Mon#.

Today's attack started from, the front gained Wednesday in an advance of between three and .four miles on a front of fifteen miles, in which more, than 6,000 prisoners and many gun* are reported to bave been taken. The enemy is resisting stubbornly, but the British are forging ahead, capturing \:illases and other important points.

Take Important Stronghold. .- West of Maubeuge the British have laken the village of Beaudignles, oi^e and one-half miles southwest of LeQuesnoy, the most important etrong-' hold defending Maubeuge on the west. In the same region they have crosscd the natural barrier of the Ecalllon river and rapidly affe placing Valenciennes in a. pocket.

Apparently the British are not desirous of taking Valenciennes by fighting the Germans in the streets of the town, but plan to outflank it. The town now is partly surrounded and the menace to it has been increased by the advance on the south and capture of the entire Raismes forest to the north.

The British' thrust undoubtedly has badly shaken the German defenses south of Valenciennes, which are so important" to the security of the German line northward to the Dutch border and south and east to the.Mcuse. Unless the enemy can hold the British attacks today, it would seem they would have to continue their retreat in Belgium -and also give up ground south and east of the Oise.

Begin New Offensive.

While th^ British "are attacking i north of the Sambre canal to the Scheldt the French have begun an ©£-. fensive south of the Oise. 4

Crashing into the German offensive systems south of Valenciennes the British are tearing away this barrier to the allied pursuit of the retreating enemy. Progress made there during the twelve hours following their at-
