FEAR SWAYED STATE G. O. P. (Continued From rase One.) Interfered with the payment of Rome of the claims; the attempted sale of certain lands to the state for institutional purposes; the delivery to Henry Roberts of Liberty bonds with the coupons detached; the controversy over the double payment by Marion county of a bill for coal which disclosed that one of the directors of the company was the wife of the governor; the preferences of the state highway commission for cement manufactured by one cement company In Indiana ; the almost universal use of one bonding company for highway contractors’ bonds; the disposition of the army trucks loaned to the state by the government. The Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette, in a recent editorial, demanded of the democrats in the legislature that they use their whole power to bring about Investigations of the Goodrich administration and the matter of how best to proceed wa6 discussed freely among democrats in Indianapolis today. The Indiana Daily Times, which has heretofore printed many stories of these peculiarities of the Goodrich administration has offered to lav before any member of the legislature their proofs of the authenticity of the charges that have been made by it against Gov. Goodrich, and it also is urging the democrats of the legislature to take advantage of this information to compel the republicans of the legislature either to allow the people of the state to learn the facts concerning Gov. Goodrich or to go on record as being unwilling that the facts become known.—Copyright, 1920, by Indiana Publicity Bureau.

I bought a house and by the terms I was to have -immediate possession. The property is occupied by tenants who have received thirty days’ notice from the foggier owner to vacate, but they declare they will not and can _ not be made to vacate. What is the latest date they can legally remain In view payment of rent was to the end of the month? They have no lease on the property. Tfie former" owner claims be rented to them with the understanding that they would vacate on a thirty days’ notice. The real ostnte man through whom I purchased claims he has found a place for them to rent. What steps should I take to get possession and how much time does the law allow me for vacating the suite I occupy now without becoming liable to my present landlord for the entire rent for another month? Would I have any redress should the tenant of my property, cause, out of spite, ntiv dnmage to the propprty. M. IT. T. One way to get them out is to raise the rent on the tenants in purchased property so high that he will not pay it.

White is now parallelling Tom Marshall, both are vice presidents. Call him “Ttemp.” Secretary once more. Say did yon notice how one of the members of the Real Estate Board sold the goods down east? According to the houses Col. Durban listed last Wednesday at the luncheon be is partial to red tile roofs. v Could you iall stock in a casket company dead stock? Ask Temp he knows. Say—did you ever try to use rent receipts as collateral in borrowing money. Jim Cruse is primarily responsible for the unusual amount of merriment at the Wednesday luncheon. More hard times here, the Peoples Bank Building Company will boost the rents to pay for the Improvements they expect to make In the Law building. Commodore Cross was the chief entertainer at this week's luncheon. Just you guess what he bad before arriving at the meeting. He spoke about the street being "full.” That is some title tacked on to the new real estate class. Wonder v.hat per cent of the price of the course is caused by that title? One of the luige financial transactions of last week occurred when George Lucas, after making several deals at a handsome commission wns able to go Into one of the leading store;- anil order a pair of shoes.
