Eloped in Aeroplane In 1913; Now He Wants Divorce.

In 1913, Arthur Smith, aviator, and Aime E. Carr, of Ft. Wayne, e’oped in his aeroplane. The machine collapsed and both were injured but while she lay on a cot and he sat in a wheel chair in a hospital in Hillsdale, Mich., in October, 1913, they were married. I The second collapse came Friday when Smith filed a suit for divorce from his wife, claiming that she was doing some other soaring besides going in his aeroplane. After filing his suit at San Francisco Smith sailed for Japan.

The Jasper County Democrat in explaining the method of voting at the coming primary shows how to vote first choice for Leonard B. Clore for governor. The paper does not exactly come out and endorse Mr. Clore as suggested by The Republican would be only becoming for him to do, but just shows how to vote for Mr. Clore in case the voter wants to do so. A democrat prominently identified with the machine said today that there wasn’t a ghost of a show of Clore beating Adair and that Adair would carry the state by an overwhelming majority. The large per cent of antimachine democrats in Jasper county, however, will probably vote for Clore, and if The Jasper County Democrat, which has a sort of mid-season antimachine spasm each year, had pointed out to its trustful clientele that Adair was the machine candidate and

Clore the real Simon-pure peoples’ candidate, then Clore could have carried the county sto 1. It is probable that there are not a hundred democrats in the county who would line up with the machine if the distinction was given them, but the ‘last issue of The Democrat has gone to its sub scribers before the primary and those democrats who have not accepted the advice of The Republican or have not seen copies of the Indiana Forum, the anti-machine democratic newspaper published in Indianapolis are floundering in the dark. Brother Babcock seems to have lost a chance to prove the declaration made some two years ago to the effect that he would never “bend his knee to Boss Murphy and others of his ilk.” Leonard B. Clore will be beaten, he is too good a man to be trusted by the machine and the have failed to do so.’
