Greenfield Lawyer Honored For

Third Time by Nomination

For Appellate Judge.

JOHN W. KERN FOR SENATOR

Former Senator McCullough of This

City Leads in Senatorial Contest

on Floor of Convention.

Judge Edward W. Felt, of this city, was Thursday for the third time honored by the Democrats of Indiana with the nomination for judge of the Appellate court.. The contest for the nomination was spirited.

Fred L. Feick, chairman of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, leading for organized labor, and a delegate to the convention, waged a war against John D. Megee of Rushville, Orian B. Harris of Sullivan County and Judge Edwin Taylor of Evansville, and succeeded in bringing about their defeat.

Hottel's name was presented by Orange county. Harris was presented by Sullivan county, Felt by Hancock, Megee by Rush and Taylor by Vanderburg. All of the Miami county delegates had left the hall, and the vote of that county was stricken out. Marion county cast its vote on the first ballot as follows: Hottel 183, Felt 20, Megee 137, Taylor 26. Felt drew support through a combination with Judge Lairy, of Logansport, and Taylor drew support through trades with candidates for the Appellate bench in the Northern District.

Before the vote was announced Chairman Duffin, of the Vigo county, delegation, announced that Vigo county, which had cast forty votes for Felt, twenty votes for Taylor and sixty votes for Harris, wished to change his vote. His statement to the chairman was answered by a chorus of noes.

John W. Kem was chosen Demo* cratic nominee for UnitedStates senator in the Democratic state conven­

tion on the third ballott, when, with 772, he was given John E. Lamb's 223 votes. "Well," shouted Duffin, hotly, "I guess we can change our vote as long as the result of the ballot has not been announced."

Right to change the vote was challenged by the Taylor men. Harry Strickland, of Greenfield, who was active in support of Felt, insisted that the change should be made. The change was permitted by the chair and it resulted in a solid vote from Vigo for Harris and a solid vote for Felt.

Then a controversy arose as to I whether the two men receiving a majority of all the votes cast should be declared the nominees or whether the two receiving the highest number of votes should be counted the winners.

With the Miami county vote out the majority of all the votes cast was 864. The chair ruled that the nominees should have a majority of all the votes cast. The result of the ballot was as follows: Hottel, 1,211 Harris, 410 Taylor, 582% Megee, 475 and Felt, 7732- It was ruled that only one nomination had been made and Hottel was declared the nominee. The delegates the prepared to ballot on a second candidate.

From the first the fight on the second ballot was between Felt and Megee, who came from the Sixth District, and Taylor of the first bistrict. A band wagon was started for Felt and the organized labor representatives lined up behind him. Both Felt and Megee went hard after the support of Marion county.

Allen County cast sixty-five' votes solidly for Felt. Some one voted ten from Jennings County for Felt and the chairman of the delegates challenged and had the vote changed to to ten for Megee. The vote of Jay County, seventeen for Felt, was permitted to stand*. Knox County voted solidly for Taylor on a trade with Vandenburg County in behalf of Vollmer. Marion County cast ninety-six votes for Felt and eighty-six votes for Megee. Vigo County cast thirty votes for Taylor oil a trade and thirty votes for Felt on another trade. Wayne County, notwithstanding that Megee hails from the Sixth, JMstrict, cast its vote solidly for Felt. The secoed ballott resulted as follows: Hams, 7H Taylor,398^ Megee, 209^ and Felt 1,113^.

Half a dozen men moved to adjourn and the convention became a matter of history at exactly 10:90 o' clock.

After a dramatic debase

excitement, the Democratic state convention adopted the Governor's plan for nomination of a United States senator. The fight was close and uncertain to the last, the fiual vote standing 888Jo' to 858£, a majprity of 30 votes.

The chairman announced that each side would have forty-five minutes and that then only the roll call would be in order and that no delegate would be recognized.

He then introduced Hon. James E. McCullough, of this city, to speak on the affirmative.

There were so many things in favor of the plan, he said, that he would not have time to enumerate them. "Does the fact," he said, "that people do not vote directly for a candidate for President constitute any reason why they should not in convention nominate a candidate for United States senator?"

Mr. McCullough spoke from the speaker's stand. He pointed to the fact that during the campaign the Republicans would ask why the proposal was voted down. "Democratic legislatures," he said, "have made no mistake. Thfsy gave us a Hendricks, a Vorhees, a McDonDonald, a Turpie and a Shiveley But twenty years have elapsed since we elected a United States senator except Senator Shively. The world has moved. "You know that legislatures have been bought in different states. Bosses have gone into power and have remained in power. The remedy is to let the people name their own candidate. 'What we want is men who do things, and that's why this state is so proud of Governor Marshall. I ask you, what.reason is there for not passing this resolution?"

He referred to the plan for a postelection primary. "Is it any ordinary candidate," he said, "who can contribute his part of $160,000 to pay the expense of a primary? There is no law for primary."

He referred to the plan for the primary as a pretext for running away from the original proposal.

He again referred to Govenor Marshall, and declared that the Governor's proposal came from a wise brain. "The time to name a senator," he said, "is not next winter/ The time to do it, if yon are honest about it, is now. The Governor has no intesest except his interest in this grand party and this great state."

He referred to the fact that William

Jennings Bryan, the Commoner among Commoners had indorsed the plan. This brought some applause, "My fellow-citizens," appealed the], speaker, "rise to the occasion. You have not only the congratulation of I the Governor and of William J. Bryan, but of the people of this state and other states who believe in a pure government."

There were calls for Shively when Mr. McCullough concluded. The order was good while McCullough was speaking.

A CHANGE FOR

600D SPELLERS

Westland High School Students Will

Undertake To Spell Down all

Comers Friday Night.

An old time spelling school is to be held Friday evening at the Westland high school building. It is to be a contest between the school and the "world." The teachers and students are going to undertake to spell all the men and women that care to join, the only specification being that they shall use the speller now in use in the high school. At a spelling match recently the school went down in defeat, but they say it was because some of the spellers had the McGuffey speller by heart and they did not. in consequence have a fair show.

The township trustee, Mr. Coffin, is taking much interest in the match and his wife is practicing up that the Coffin home shall make a good showing in the contest. Mr. Coffin invites Greenfield down to join^in and make the occasion one of the old time spelling schools that many remember with the keenest pleasure.

This city boasts of a good number of good spellers, especially in the books of twenty-five'years ago. Vard Finnell is a difficult man to spell down, John Hufford makes a good showing, and Mrs. Oak Morrison never quits. Mrs. Morrison has spelling down to a science. She knows what letter must follow according to the rules of spelling, and unless she forgets for the time, can correctly place the letters in most any word.

John D. Rockefeller would go broke if he should spend his entire income trying to prepare a better medicine than Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for diarrhoea, dysentery or bowel complaints. It is simply impossible, and so says every one that has used it. Sold by all druggists.
