HANLEY TO SUPPORT SENATOR HARPING

J. Frank Hanley, former Governor of Indiana, who was elected Governor on the Republican ticket and later was a candidate for President on the Prohibitionist ticket, Thursday made public a statement in which he said the Prohibitionist party ought not to nominate WilHam Jennings Bryan or anyone else as a candidate for President. He said he intends to support Senator Harding. The statement follows: “I have just received the following telegram from the national prohibition committee at Lincoln: ‘“Prohibition national convention nominated William Jennings Bryan today by acclamation, amid great outbursts of enthusiasm. Will you wire Mr. Bryan, at Pony, Mont., immediately urging him to accept this nomination, pledging him your support and get other influential people to do likewise?’ “I immediately sent the following answer: — “‘Emphatically no. Mr. Bryan ought not to be nominated, and if he is he ought not to accept Convention .should nominate no candidate for President. Effort should be concentrated on election of “dry” congress.’ „ .. , “I* have read Senator Hardings speech of acceptance. His stand for the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment and of the Volstead law for the amendment’s enforcement is all that could be desired. I shall support him with my pen and my voice in the cam-

He is less the candidate of the Democratic party than he is of Tammany Hall and the gang of rum advocates and defenders and political buccanees, led by Charles F. Murphy and Governor Smith, of New York; Senator Nugent and Governor Edwards of New Jersey; George E. Brennan, of Illinois; Wilbur Marsh, of lowa, and Thomas Taggart, of Indiana. As a citizen I can not consent that the American government shall be made the subject of spoils for Tammany Hall and its adherents.”

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, MONDAY, JULY 26, 1920

THIRD WEEK OF LEGISLATURE

END OF SPECIAL SESSION IS A VERY UNCERTAIN DATE. Indianapolis, July 26—The special session of the Indiana general assembly which was convened July 12 went into its third week ’today with most of the important legislation still unsettled and with the date of final adjournment uncertain. A conflict between the two houses over the provisions of the home rule tax bill which would give local taxing units control over bond issues and tax levies is a possibility. Upon reconciliation of the difference between the senate and house home rule bills depends the length of the special session. Still Wide Gap. There is also a wide gap between the house and the senate on the question of legalizing the horizontal increases in 1919 assessments made by the state tax board. The house bill provides for a straight out legalizing plan while the senate bill is a modification of the legalizing scheme. With the two tax bills out of the way it is believed the session can soon be concluded. Leaders gave their attention to the tax measures during the week end and hoped to reach settlement before the two houses meet again at 2 p. m. tomorrow. Bill* in Conference. The home rule tax bill is now in the hands of a conference committee. The legalization bill has not yet been returned to the house from the senate, but it is certain to go to a conference committee as soon as it is sent back. Three other important bills also are in conference committees for consideration. These are the. war memorial bill, the coal commissionbill and the bill amending the 1919 county unit road law. The war memorial bill passed by the senate was considerably more liberal* than the house bill and it is expected there will be a compromise framed which .will reduce the amount of the appropriation fixed bv the upper house, which was approximately $3,500,000. The house bill would provide only $2,000,000. Probable Compromi»c. The coal commission bill will probably result in a compromise providing that the powers of investigating the coal industry and fixing prices for fuel will be placed with the state board of accounts. The house bill would have established a cbal commission 1 and the senate amendments provided for the public utilities commission to extend its authority to include coal mines. The county, unit road bill, another measure in conference, was amended in the senate so as to provide for six per cent interest on certain road bonds instead of 5 per cent as fixed in the house bill. Little difficulty is anticipated in reaching a compromise in this measure. , , Members of both houses are apparently becoming weary of the protracted special session and during the last week it has been increasingly difficult each day to obtain a quorum. Absent*** Threatened. Lieut. Gov. Edgar D. Bush, presiding officer of the senate, has threatened absent members with arrest and declared that he would order officers of the senate to bring in members who are absent from tomorrow’s session. Frequently recesses have been necessary in order to obtain a quorum and the lieutenant governor has consistently refused to transact business unless a quorum is present.

“PUGILISTIC ROW” ENJOYED STIRRING EVENING

“Pugilistic Row,” the faaven of unrest and family feuds, enjoyed a fine session as the sun was sinking low Sunday evening when the Dolph Day family was awarded the referee’s decision over the Charles Jacks family in a one-round encounter which was set in motion through the activities of all the little Jacks and Days. The battling was not confined to the male members of the families, but was enjoyed by the female members pk woH* 1 The performance of the gladiators served the onlookers with more thrills than they had enjoyed since the battle of Yorkey’s Run. Hairpulling, scratching and garden rakes added zest to the occasion which will be one long remembered in Rensselaer’s pugilistic history. While the family heads engaged in mortal combat the lady members, not. to be kept out of the picture, entered the arena and gave the spectators a run for their money. It is said that Mrs. Day led in plain and fancy fighting and that when she had administered a sleepinp potion to Mrs. Jacks she aided her husband in subduing Mr. Jacks. It is said that bad feeling has existed between the families for some time and that the fight Sunday evening was simply the climax to a series of quarrels which was originated by the youngsters. No arrests have been made.

* WEATHER. Partly cloudy, probably local showers tonight and Tuesday.

DISTRIBUTION VICTORY MEDALS

AMERICAN LEGION IS ASKED TO ASSIST IN THIS TASK. A Applications for, the VictoryMedals, which the army commenced distributing June 21st, have been arriving so slowly that to date only 50,936 have been issued, which is the total number of applications received. The War Department prepared to issue approximately 35,000 of these Medals per day, and it would have taken four months under these conditions to complete the distribution. Only 50,000 applications, however, have been received in a month and at that rate it would take almost six years before each man, who was entitled to a Medal had received it. The method of making application for the Victory Medal in brief is, as follows: All officers and men should apply to the nearest post, camp, station or recruiting office for the prescribed forms on which applications for Victory Medals should be submitted. This may be done either in person or by mail, and the forms together with full instructions will be furnished him. If the man lives in a city where there is any Army Post, or a recruiting office, he should take his application, together with his original discharge papers to the post or recruiting office, where will be decided the class of medal and the number of battle clasps to which he is entitled, or if there is any question as to what the applicant is entitled to, the Military authorities will forward the application for further consideration. The original discharge papers will then be handed back to the man, and the Depot Officer of the Quartermaster Corps, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania ordered to ship the medal direct to the applicant. Should the man not live in a town where there is a Post, Camp or Recruiting Station, he should submit his applications with the necessary supporting papers by mail to the Army Post or Recruiting Office nearest his home. The American Legion has kindly offered to assist in preparing applications. Each Legion Post has been or will be, on request, furnished the necessary forms and written instructions. It is urgently requested that applicants who do not live near an Army Post or Recruiting Office go to the nearest Legion Post and secure their assistance. Such assistance in many cases will be necessary because a TYPEWRITER MUST BE USED. The Legion Post after preparing the application will forward them to the Recruiting Office for approval. After a man has submitted his application to the nearest post or recruiting office, he need not communicate further, unless .he does not receive his medal within a reasonable time. To date, 17,500 Victory Medals have been issued to men for service in the United States, 266 for service in England, 0,569 for ice in France, 3 for service in Italy, 33 for service in Russia and 118 for service in Siberia. The above figures cover the medals issued without the battle clasps. Those which have been issued with one battle clasp number 4,094, with two battle clasps, 7,244, with three battle clasps, 6,695, with four battle clasps, 3,169,. with five battle clasps, 1,977, with six battle clasps, 149, with seven battle clasps, 16, with eight battle clasps, three, with nine battle clasps, 8, with ten bat-, tie clasps, 1, and with fourteen battle clasps, 1. The Battle Claspsare issued only to troops that participated in major operations. In the event that an Officer or enlisted man, who was entitied to this medal, was killed m action, or has since died, the medal will be issued to his nearest km, who should make application in the manner prescribed, stating the fact of death.

HUMAN SKELETONS ARE UNEARTHED ON FARM

Two human skeletons . have been unearthed on the farm of Wilson Sterrett, father of County Superintendent Morgan L. Sterrett, of this city, in Carroll county. The bones were discovered by men engaged in digging post holes, and were about two feet below the surface of the earth.

THE LEAGUE COVENANT.

The following from the address of Senator Warren G. Harding at the occasion of the notification of his nomination as the standard bearer of the Republican party should be read, re-read, studied and poundered by every American. It will avail nothing to discuss in detail the league covenant, which was conceived for world supergovernment, negotiated in misunderstanding, and intolerantely urged and demanded by its administration sponsors, who resisted every effort to safe-guard America, and who finally rejected it when such safeguards were inserted. “If the supreme blunder has left European relationships inextricably interwoven in the league compact, our sympathy for Europe only magnifies our own good fortune in resisting involvement. It is better to be the free and disinterested agent of international justice and advancing civilization, with the covenant of conscience, than be shackled by a written compact which surrenders our freedom of action and gives to a military alliance the right to proclaim America’s duty to the world. "No *urrender of right* to a world council or it* military alliance, no assumed mandatory, however appealing, ever shall summon the son* of thi* republic to .war. Their supreme sacrifice shall only be asked for America and its call of honor.. There is a sanctity in that right we will not delegate. . “When the compact was being written, I do not know whether Europe asked or ambition insistently bestowed. It was so good to rejoice in the world’s confidence in our unselfishness that I can believe our evident disinterestedness inspired Europe’s wish for our association, quite as much as the selfish thought of enlisting American power and resources. Ours is an outstanding, infuential example to the world, whether we cloak it in spoken modesty or magnify it in exaltation. We want to help; we mean to help; but we hold to our own interpretation of the American conscience as the very soul of our nationality.

The Unselfish Way. ( “Disposed as we are, the way is । very simple. Let the failure at- 1 tending assumption, obstinacy, impracticability and delay be recognized, and let us find the big, practical, unselfish way to do our part, neither covetous because of am-, bition nor hesitant through fear, ’ but ready to serve ourselves, humanity and God. “With a senate advising, as the Constitution contemplates, I would hopefully approach the nations of Europe and of the earth, propos- ] ing that understanding which makes us a willing participant in the consecration of nations to a new relationship, to commit the moral forces of the world, America included, to peace and international justice, still leaving America free, independent and self-reliant, but offering friendship to all the world. “If men call for more specific details, I remind them that moral committals are broad and all inclusive, and we are contemplating peoples in the concord of humanity’s advancement. From our own viewpoint the program is specifically American and we mean to be American first, to all the world. “Appraising preserved nationality as the first essential to the continued progress of the republic, there is linked with it the supreme necessity of the restoration—let us say the re-revealment— of the Gonstitution and our reconstruction as as industrial nation. Here is the transcending, task. It concerns our common weal at home ana wall decide our future eminence in the W °“More than these, this republic, I under constitutional liberties, has , given to mankind the most for- ■ tunate conditions for human activity and attainment the world has ever noted, and wo are today the

OUT OF SERVICE FIFTY-FIVE YEARS

William Warren was in Rensselaer Saturday and in conversation with a reporter of this paper said that Saturday, July 24, was the fifty-fifth anniversary off his muster out of the Union army. He served with Co. K of the 48ti> Indiana and that unit was mustered out of service on the day indicated. It is kind of Providence to allow these noble veterans to remain in this goodly land for which they offered to make the supreme sacrifice. Let us hope that we, the beneficiaries of theirs noble service, are worthy citizens of the government which they would not see destroyed.
