NOTHING TO REPORT OF THROAT CUTTING

Marie Hayden Did Not Have Throat Cut at Monticello Wednesday Night at Reported. Voters at the November election will have the proposition to decide as to whether or not the 100th anniversary of Indiana fs to be celebrated. The Republican believes that the expense of the celebration will be far In excess of the good that will be accomplished and that it is the duty of every person to vote against it. The State Centennial Committee is urging voters to support the plan, but The Republican does not believe that the great expense is justified, that the'present taxes are so high that no expense should be incurred that will further increase them, that the exposition feature of the centennial will simply furnish some fat jobs for political workers and that no permanent benefit will come to Indiana. Its resources and its development are well known to the world and it is not necessary to spend a million dollars to advertise it. Sunday, Oct. 25th, has been designated as centennial sermon day. Ministers will do well to recommend that all voters cast their ballots against the waste of the celebration.
