OK POLITICAL BATTLE

r. W. 0. Rogfers Analyzes The TJnAttack That Sanders' Clique Is Engaged In At Present.

1 1

That certain attacScs made upon the "congressional record of Ralph \V. i- ^Jloss during his term of office prior to jthe entrance of the United States into 2 ithe war, are unjust and without foun- .* -nation, is the opinion of Rev. W. O.

(tional

Rogers, of the Plymouth Congregachurch, and secretary of the tTerre Haute Ministerial association. jRev. Rogers, who attended City Court

1encesessionJudpe

Thursday morning, following the regular of couft, held a conferwith Paul R. Fhafer re-' Igarding the condition of afBairs In Cir[cuit Court, and during the progress of i- his talk, the matter of electing a oonigressman from this district was ^brought up. Rov. "Rogers, in speaJving

Jof"I

»he matter, said: io not believe that the votes cast jby Ralph Moss against war during the |t'-rm served by him should be rertcc-

Iberedagainst

tions him. It must be rememthat in those, days, while Germany and Fi-anoe were clashing swords, was believed by the majority of the people in the United States that ^-America void never enter the war. il know rerpcmallv that we were all jabout half-baked pacifists, and I have ,s"ood In my pulpit and told my "eongrogatinng that America would ne\er enter the war, and that all of our troubles would bo settled'by arbitration. t^ince that time we havo all changed our minds, and have gotten on the right side. When the war was really brought to our doors Everett

Sanders was in congress and Moss was •not. I firmly believe that Moss in congrcss at that time would have done the same thing that SandVra did, but as far as doing wrong when he was there, Moss or.iy did, in my belief, Just what the rest of us would have done and what Mr. Sanders would have apae himself. "T vhgre an attempt has been

to lay the blame of the delay bringing appealed cases up in Circuit Court upon .Tndgo Pulliam. The znmisteriaj association will undoubtedly have to start something In Circuit Court to get the cases brough tip. 1 do not know whether we can kindle a fire strong enough to smoke them out. but we will try. I am sure that Judge Pulliam is not entirely responsible for everything: that happenu there there are othefs who may or may Hot have more to do with the delay than Judge Pullijsm, I am not based well enough on law to place the blame just row, but something muilt be done pretty soon, and I believe that the ministerial association will'bring some pressure to bear to relieve the situation."

'CONTEST SOLDIER S WILL.

Relatives of Man Killed In France Involved In Litigation. The wiil of Private Ameil Darras, the first Vigo county selective draft soldier from Vigo county to be# killed in action, has been contested by his brother, August Darras, in a suit filed in the Superior Court Wednesday afternoon. The will was probated in September by Judge A. I* Miller.

Before entering the "army Darras m.vlft his will and named Benjamin F. Fmall executor. The estate was valued at $3,350 and was to be divided among the relatives. The brother, August, and the following sisters w«re named: Mrs. Leona Murray, Clinton Mrs. M. Calvert. West Terre Haute: Mrs. Alice Donnelly, R. R. E, Terre Haute Mrs. Fannie Carter, North Terre Haute.

In his complaint August stated that fneil was intoxicated at the time that 'he will was made and that the document was procured by undue influence. The complaint says that he did not know what he was doing and that he named Fannie Darras as a legatee and devisee, whereas he did not have a sister by that name.

COURT BUSINESS LIGHT.

But two cases were called in City Court Thursday morning Henry Fcwett, charged with assault and battery, entered a plea of not guilty and his case uas continued. Rov Shaw, harged with failure to provide for hip avife, was ordered bv the court to pay 31" T'f•' T«-r.p\ !o ttif court matron.

This cereal food is composed partly of barley an^ contains its own sugar made from its own Jjrains.

A truly wonderful Food, ready to eat.

'There's a Reason*

that the question involved with reference tp the use of voting machines fhould be transferred from Gleason's court to the Circuit Court, because of the fact that Judge Gleason is candidate to be voted upon at the coming election and is therefore immediately disqualified to pass upon matters involved.

That this same question val presented to Judge Pulliam two years ago and after a thorough consideration the .iudge held that the law 'was mandatory and that election officers were bound to use voting machines under this holding county commissioners and election commissioners feel it their duty to abide by the decision of the Circuit Court and are therefore preparing to use voting machines at the coming election.

The text of the commissioners' replv and motion to transfer the hearing is as follows: State of Indiana, County of Vigo, ss: ]n tha Superior Court of Vigo County,

September term. 1918. Robert H. Lee et al. vs. Ransom B. Phillips, William F. Altekruse.

Thomas ,T. Mulrihill. as the board of county commissioners of the county of Vigo, state of Indiana, et s.l. i Corne now the defendants, Ransom B. Phillipa, William F. Altekruse and Thomas .T. Mulvihill, constituting the board of county commissioners of VigC lounty, Indiana, and represent and show to the court that as said board of county commissioners in their official capacity, they are made parties defendant in the above entitled cause of action. They further represent and show

the court that said cause of

action is brought by Robert E. Lee. individually,, and Robert B. l^ee, as chairman of the ronnty central committee of the republican party of Vigo county, Indiana.

The above named defendants'further represent and show to the court that the Honorable William T. Gleason, the present regrular judge of the Superior Court of Vigo county, the court in which said cause of action is now pending, is a candidate for election as said judge of said court on the republican ticket of said county, to be voted for at the election to be held on the i oth day of November,' l?t8, at which I election the matters and things set I forth and complained of in plaintiff's complaint are involved: that by reason of the fact that said matters and things set forth and complained of in plaintiff's complaint are involved at said election in which the said Honorable William T. Gleason is to be voted for, as a candidate for superior judge, as hereinbefore set out, he. the said Hon. Wm. T. Gleason. as said present judge of said court, is disqualified to bear and judicially determine the issues involved herein by reason of his being an interested party and a candidate as hereinbefore set out.

Wherefore the above named defendants pray the court and move that said cause of action be transferred to the Vigo Circuit Court of Vigo county, Indiana, where same may be redocketed and disposed of as if originallv filed with said Circuit Court, as provided for in section 1434a, revised statutes 1914.

Afraid To Tell Mother!

The child won't play or smile. He is real sick. His tongue is white, breath feverish, stomach sotir. He fears he is in for a dose of awful castor oil, (Calomel or pills. How he hates them. He would rather remain sick.-

If his mother would only learn the value of candy "Cascarets." Wow children love this candy cathartic—how surely it acts on liver and bowels.

TO AIOTHBRS! Each 10 cent box of Cascarets contains full directions for dose for children aged one year old and upwards. Nothing else "works" the nasty bile, sour fermentations and constipation poison from the tender little bowels so gently, yet so thoroughly. Even cross, feverish^bilious c|ildren gladly take Cascarets without being coaxed. Cascarets taste just like candy. Cascarets never gripe, never sicken, never injure, but above all, they never disappoint the worried mother.
