VALPARIASO TAKES SECTIONAL HONORS

Porter Five Downs Frqebel of Gary In Final Game, Taking Title— Few Upsets in Stale. Running trueto tlieir season’s form, the dashing five from Valparaiso_ took the title at Gary and won the right to attend the state meet at "Bloomingon next week. This speedy quintette was doped to win but did not win without the hardest kind of fights. In the final game they encountered the toughest kind of sledding and emerged victors by the scantest kind of a margin—one point. Laporte was their opponent in tfie final fray and the score was 30-29 when the final whistle blew, In the last ten seconds of the game a Valparaiso player committed a double foul, but the Laporte foul shooter was unequal to the occasion. The other thrillers of the tourney were the games between the Froebel and Emerson schools of Gary and the* FroebeLSouth. Bend game, which went to the former 31 to 30. If Valparaiso continues to show the same stone Roller tactics at the state tourney they should have a great chance of copping the titular honors. Some surprises were recorded throughout the statebut of course upsets are always in order and the teams ran true to form pretty generally. In the tourney at Martinsville the home squad was returned the victors by trouncing the JSouthport five 47 to 17 in the final. At Lafayette .the two home teams went into the final and Jefferson high was returned the winner easily, 56 to 13. Seymour won from Milan in the meet at the former place. In the Kokomo meet the local school won the right to contest by defeating .Fairmount Academy 25 to 21. Brookville took the honors at Richmond, Crawfordsville won at that place, easily defeating the Wingate crew in the final 51 to 9. Liberty Center won at Bluffton. Bloomington won from Salem at Bloomington. Elkhart upset the dope bucket when they downed Medaryville 19 to 16. Hopewell, the team that is feared by all the contenders, won frpm Tiafalgar, clinching the honors in their district. Lebanon won at Lebanon. Cicero won at Anderson in a hard fought game with the latter team. Washington won at Logansport, Vincennes at Vincennes and- Clinton at Terre Haute. The state-winner should be among these five teams: Valparaiso, Hopewell, Clinton, Crawfordsville, and possibly Seymour.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, MONDAY, MARCH IS, 1916.

Gets 20 Votes and Swells Up Like a Poisoned Pup.

Editor Babcock published what he aimed to be a very ironical article in the latest issue of The Democrat, saying that the editor of The Reputnlcan had met some disapsii!n£ ments the pastoweek and recounting the failure of Warren T. McCray and James E. Watson to be nominated, the failure of-,Editor Healey to be chosen a delegate to the convention and the ineligibility of, the editor’s son to the appointment to the United States naval academy owing to the fact that he was a few* weeks over age. Fresh from a remarkable victory for precinct committeeman ‘of the third precinct of Marion township, having received! the enormous total of 20 votes, Editor Babcock is swelled up like a poisoned pup. In 1914 there were 70 votes cast in the -thirl precinct of Marion township for Homer J. Cook, democratic candidate for secretary of state, and in the same precinct Editor Babcock received 20 votes and them he presumes to make fun of * a candidate with live who received 45 votes in his own precinct.

Of "course, Bab, long established in schemes of deception, does not confine himself to Abe truth. He says that Editor, Healey solicited aid at the polls and that his opponent, J. D. Allman, did not. As a matter of fact, Mr. Alim an had The Republican print for him a circular letter- setting forth his desire to represent his district at the convention and these were sent out, 300 of them, to the voters. He stated that he was for Warren T. McCray for governor and Harry S. New for senator, but that he would vote in the state convention for the candidate who received the -.highest number of votes in the county. This arrangement had been made by Mr. Altaian and Editor Healey <m|he sag- 1 gestion of the latter. The editor of. The Republican went Ptygiouth Monday, leaving Rensselaer on the 11117 train and did not get back home until 10:36 a. m. on the day of the primary. He asked a few people to support him, saying that he was running against a mighty good man and telling what Mr. Allman had pledged. The result of the vote wag no sur prise and the 57. votes we received loom large compared to the measly 20 votes that caused Editor Babcock to swell up to the bursting point. His opponent was Conrad Kellner, who permitted his name to go on the ticket but against his will and who has said on several occasions that he was not in accord with the democratic party and who will —beyond much doubt vote the republican ticket this fall. * As to the candidates for governor and United States senator supported by The. Republican before the primaries, the resutl speaks for itself. We supported Warren T. McCray, who received 553 votes to 304 for his nearest opponent and James E. Watson received 469 to 335 for his next nearest competitor. That indicates very plainly that the republican voters of Jasper county were in accord with the views expressed by The Re-

publicanThe slurring remark about the editor’s son being ineligible to the naval academy because he was too old is too contemptible to deserve reply. It shows, however, the putrid condition of Editor Babcock’s mental arrangement. , . The real joke about the thing is the fact that Editor Babcock received only 20 votes, three of which were in his own family, for precinct committeeman, out of some 70 democratic votes in the precinct and then swells up until he explodes into a quarter of a column of very , ®Uy worry about The Republican editor’s disappointments. As we have said before, The Republican editor, no matter what happens, will continue to be a republican and to support republican candidates and republican principles without regard to personal matters, and there will be no agonizing claims of like tile ones that emanated from Babbie when he lost the postoffice.

DISTRICT CONVENTION HERE TUESDAY

Keen Contest Anticipated at Convention March 14th For Selection of District Chairman. Will H. Hajis issued two calls for republican conventions conforming tothe“fiewprirhary law." The first call was for county meetings to be held March 11th, when the precinct committeemen chosen at the primary gathered and organised by selecting county chairmen, secretaries and treasurers for the organisation. The officers selected for Jasper county were George H. McLain, county chairman, without opposition; C. P. Fate, vice county chairman; D. D. Dean, secretary, and Woodhull I. Spitler, treasurer. The other call is for a meeting of the _county chairmen to select the district chairmen. The tenth district, meeting is to be held Tuesday, March 14, in Rensselaer, at 1 o’clock p. m.

District Chairman F. W. Smith, of Gary, issued the call for the district convention. It is probable that there will be a big number of politicians at the meeting Tuesday and a keen fight is expected to be waged between the candidates. There are eight counties in the ’district and while only the county chairmen are required to meet" .under the law, there will be a considerable contest on for the district chairmanship, and two candidates, Dr. F. W. Smith,' of Gary, and Dr. Bell, of Hammond, and their supporters are expected to gather in their interests. Such a keen fight is anticipated between these two candidates that it would not be at all surprising if a dark horse would be selected,, probably Lawrence Lyons, of

PULLED REVOLVER BUT DID NOT SHOOT

Cal Lucas Bought New Pistol and Threatened to Kill His Mother-In-Law at Remington. Cal Lucas, who lives 6 or 7 miles south of Remington, entered the dry goods store in Remington Saturday afternoon and approaching his mother-in-law*, Mrs. Bridges, he drew a revolver which he had just purchased from the Gumm hardware store and informed Mrs. Bridges that he proposed to end his own life and would use the revolver to perform the act but proposed before shuffling off this mortal coil to take a few others along with him. His threat was not carried into execution, however, although "he floUriSlied' tho revolver and talked as though he meant business. He soon left the store and left town. Mrs. Bridges was frightened and caused a warrant to be sworn out for his arrest. It was placed in the hands of Town Marshal Lee Rush to be served and Rush went to the Lucas home Saturday night but did not find the troublesome Cal. It is stated that Mrs. Lucas, who was a daughter of Mrs. Bridges, is dead, and that Lucas has no children. There has been some trouble but it is not known just what the cause of the present outbreak was.
