EDITOR MILLER WITHDRAWS FROM RACE

April 7, 1920. Mr. Louis H. Hamilton, Rensselaer, Ind. My Dear Mr. Hamilton: I have this day sent my withdrawal as a candidate for joint representative to the Secretary of State. My reason for so doing is that I feel with so many candidates from this county none of us could get anywhere; and again, my good friend, Mr. J. D. Rich, is also a candidate and I feel that he is in every way better fitted to represent the people of this district than I. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your words of encouragement and for your whole-hearted support. Sincerely yours,

LESLEY MULLER.

MICHIGAN VOTE RESUME.

Detroit, Mich., April 7—Less than 100 precincts reported today on Monday’s presidential primary and these returns failed to change the standing of any of the candidates or add ipuch to the total which placed Senator Hiram W. Johnson in the lead on the republican ticket and gave Herbert Hoover a 4,400 lead over Governor Edward I. Edwards of New Jersey for democratic endorsement. The 600 precincts yet to report are largely in sparsely settled rural, districts and probably will not be heard from until the official can-, vass, which must be made within ten days after the election. In some of the missing precincts the ballots were locked up* today to await the canvass. The latest figures - available on । the republican candidates were from 1,735 out of 2,421 precincts and gave: Johnson, 128,816; Wood, 83,942; Lowden, 44,457; Hoover, 43,879; Pershing, 11,558; Poindexter, 2,017.

Mae Hurley returned today to Indiana Harbor after a visit here with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Willis Hurley.

The Governor said that he ■would Call a meeting of the commission this week for the purpose of considering officially the question of whether women may vote at the presidential preference primary May 4. Lari week the Governor was requested to appoint the State Commission by Frederick E. Shortemeier, secretary of the Republican state committee. Opposing Opinion..

Mr. Spencer, in an opinion given to the Indiana Franchise League, held that women do not have the right to vote at the primary. Mr. Thompson and Charles O. Roemeier, who were requested to give an opinion -to the Republican state committee, held that the law provides that women may vote for presidential electors only and that this would not entitle them to vote at the priOn the other hand, Ele Stansbury attorney general, gave as his private opinion that- the law is broad enough to permit women to express their choice for presidentiaL candidates at the primary.

T. M. CALLAHAN SOLE OWNER

IN FULL CONTROL OF -LARGE IMPLEMENT, FUEL AND FEED BUSINESS. Thomas M. Callahan, who has purchased the interest of Conrad Kellner in the former Kellner & Callahan business on Cornelia street will continue the same under the firm name of Thomas M. Callahan. Mr. Callahan will have full charge of the business and will give it his attention. The wonderful expansion of the business of the firm of Kellner & Callahan since Mr. Callahan became interested in it assures the future success under his management. No firm in northern Indiana has a larger sale of farm implements and none carries a better line. The best line of implement manufacturers are anxious to have the service of this firm on account qf the large volume of business handled. Mr. Callahan will continue handling i these lines, among them being the International Harvester Co., which manufactures every implement needed by Hie farmer, such as grain and corn binders, gang, sulky, walking and tractor plows, cream separators, gas engines, wagons, drills, discs, etc. The I. H. C. goods are high class and give the very best of satisfation. Beside the I. H. C. line Mr. Callahan will continue the sale of the very popular John Deere Plow Co. implements. This line is a great favorite with the farmers and the stamp “Jdhn Deere” upon a piece of farm machinery is like the stamp of the eagle on the silver dollar. The Deere line is complete, including every piece of machinery needed by the farmer. Mr. Callahan will push the sale of the Nisco Spreader. The Nisco and John Deere spreaders are now the best sellers on the market. Last year Kellner & Callahan sold almost one hundred spreaders. Mr. Callahan will continue the sale of the Deering standard twine and this year he is offering the farmers a very special price on the same. Mr. Callahan knows farmers and farming and keeps posted on the very best implements obtainable. He will not handle a farm tool unless he knows that it is the best in its class. After the machine is sold Mr. Callahan will stand back of it and if ’necessary furnish expert assistance should trouble develop. Automobiles were added by Mr. Callahan after his engagement in the implement business with Mr. Kellner. He will continue the sale of Buick and Chevolet cars. These cars are very popular and give the best of satisfaction and the number sold will continue, undoubtedly, as in the past to equal the number obtainable. .... t For many years this firm has had connections with coal firms handling the very best grades of both bituminous and anthracite coal. The high grade of fuel offered and the spledid service given has given prestige which Mr. Callahan hopes not only to hold but to enlarge. Mr. Callahan will continue to handle all kinds of feed, buying m car load lots and will be able to make the prices as attractive as possible. He will continue the sale of commercial fertilizers. Since entering the implement business in 1916 Mr. Callahan, with his partner, Mr. Kellner, has erected a large brick and cement ware room 135x92 feet, replacing old wooden structures which were unsightly and dangerous fire traps. Mr. Callahan now has a large and splendidly equipped show room. In order to take care of the large volume of coal trade, he owns large bins on the Monon right of way together with a large storage house which can be used for storing feeds, cement and other articles.

With his facilities in the way of building, large deliveiy trucks, with Bert Campbell, one of the best machinists and other efficient help Mr. Callahan is sure to continue the enlargement of the business which be and Mr. Kellner have so ably built up. . . Thomas M. Callahan ts a straight forward • business man, capable courteous and efficient and he will be able to use the motto which is so full of truth “Trade with the firm which does the most business, there is a reason.” . Mr. Callahan has contracted for the use of. a liberal amount of printer’s ink and in doing so he gives genuine proof of his sagacity and established his qualification as a successful, up-to-date business man.

GOV. LOWDEN AS A CANDIDATE

The appeal of Gov, Frank O. Lowden, as a presidential aspirant, is that of a man of action and ideas who has made good in business and executive capacities and might be expected to guide the ship of state with a cleat eye and steady hand through the troublous period of reconstruction that is just ahead. Governor Lowden is of the businessman -type of statesman. He has had varied experience in the management of affairs of much magnitude; he has served in Congress; and is making a conspicuous success of the governorship of Illinois. His training for the presidency is much the same as was that of McKinley. Governor Lowden is aggressive and progressive. He is a leader and not a mere follower of precedents. But he is not revolutionary in any sense of the word. He believes In government according to the theory laid down by the founders of the republic: , Am executive, a legislative and a judicial branch, and each functioning within its own jurisdiction. This is a program under which, if faithfully adhered to, there would be no usurpation of powers; no concentration of authority. - The government would run according to the plan on which it was established.

There is a very general impression that the United States is in । need of a President of Mr. Lowen’s temperament and training. « The spirit of sovietism is abroad in the world and has been reflected in- this country by excursions into government ownership and by Socialistic clamorings. There is a call for an executive who believes in our theory of government and has the foresight to adapt it to post-war conditions; who will be able to lead without losing sight of the goal toward which the fathers pf this nation aimed. Governor Lowden is indorsed by his admirers as just the kind of man for the present emergency. He has made good in business, in Congress and as the war Governor of Illinois. He took charge at I Springfield with the avowed purpose of eliminating the mass of duplication and endless succession of boards and other complications in machinery of state. He has done as he planned; has simplified the government of Illinois by putting it on a business basis; has lopped off useless boards and red tape and saved the taxpayers money in the face of the abnormal conditions at-
