TIME WAS when Harry Hendrickson could see no reason why his political opponents should not be represented on the election board. IF Whiteside can come home on a vacation when he wants it, what assurances have we that Ray will not also pay us a visit some day? %—" ' ~ DEMOCRATS Marion county ought to realize that it is up to them to nominate a ticket as widely different from the choice of the GoodrichJewett machine as it is possible to make it. THE PEOPLE of Indiana want good government. It is up to the democratic party to nominate men who are capable of giving good government. No other kind of candidates deserve election. SOLEMN ASSURANCE has been given that there was no connection between the turning of the body of Louis Williams over to the medi s al school and the parole of Arthur Whiteside. WHY SHOULDN’T Goodrich continue Paul P. Haynes on the pybllc service commission? He has never failed to agree to raising the rates of Goodrich-owned utilities and he never sought to force an evaluation of any of them.

Why Bea Republican? There is just one reason why a republican should go to t.ie polls In the primary next 'aiesday. That reason is the necessity of registering a protest against the big handed manner in which the Goodrich-Jewett machine is attempting to perpetuate its ignoble hold on the republican party of Marion county. The primary vote on the preference for president has been robbed of all its significance by the manipulation of the party bosses. It makes no difference who gets the plurality, the state’s choice will be registered in accordance with the desires of those who control the convention and it will not, under any circumstances, be registered for Gen. Mood, the military* menace of the country. The party’s choice for governor will not be expressed at the polls, but at the convention, thanks to the elimination by the republican bosses of the features of the primary law that made a primary choice possible. There remains then, only the choice as to the county candidates. A vote for Merrill Moores for congress Is a vote cast to keep a harmless old man in office until Mayor Jewett can arrange to supplant him. A vote fer Luke Duffey is a vote to send to congress a man of one idea, good roads, and the present unsatisfactory highway commission in Indiana is an evidence of how well Duffey knows his one subject. A vote for M’iiliam E. Reiley for prosecutor is a vote for a clean young man who is both capable and energetic and who deserves the support of those members of his party who honestly believe in having a prosecutor of irreproachable character. M r illiam P. Evans, who opposed Reiley, is personally clean and most likable. His candidacy, however, is tainted by his association as a deputy with Claris Adams, the spineless prosecutor who has shown so little interest in anything that did not add to the enormous total of the fees he has collected while in office. The voter has no assurance that, if elected, Evans would not repay Adams by retaining him in the prosecutor’s office as his fee-collecting deputy. Frank C. Riley Is merely the tool of those politicians who hoped that similarity in names would attract to him 6ome of William E. Reiley’s support and thereby help Evans. He Is wholly unfitted for the position he seeks. The republican race for sheriff is a delusion and a snare. Starting as an “anti-machine” candidate. George Snider has agreed to support the machine in return for assistance from it and has “ditched” his earlier supporters. A man who does not keep faith politically can not be depended upon to keep faith with the public. Clarence J. Tillery and Morris D. Moss are opposing Snider and either is more acceptable as a candidate. There should be no difficulty in making a choice between Henry M. Cochrane and Ralph A. Lemcke, the two candidates for treasurer. Lemcke is the present incumbent whose first day in office was marked by the collection of fees to which the state board of accounts says he is not entitled. He is the same Lemcke who promised before election to turn Interest on Barrett law money over to the taxpayers and has not done so. Cochrane is a former employe of the office and knows how it should be run. He is not expected, if elected, to be so bound to the negro politicians of Indianapolis as to be willing to employ a number as deputies in the treasurer’s office. There is absolutely no reason why Paul F. Robinson, present coroner, should be retained. By his inefficiency In making coroner’s Investigations and his attempts to “cover up” official investigations he has been of immense assistance to the ring that runs Marion county. He openly opposes publicity in regard to his conduct of office and has on several occasions instructed his office force to prevent the press from obtaining reports of evidence that he does not want made public. Richard A. Poole has a long record for fearless investigation of criminal offenses. He has stood steadfast against efforts to make murders appear as suicides, and his work as coroner was always a great assistance in the enforcement of law in Marion county. It is hardly to bo conceived that the republicans of this county are willing to return to the legislature the men who helped Gov. Goodrich enact the present tax law. Yet these men are seeking re-election and will be renominated unless the republican party determines to repudiate their acts and selects candidates from a long list of men who did not have a part in the misfit legislature of the last session. There isn’t much use of the republican who has the interests of the home at heart calling for a republican ballot at the primaries. His only real excuse for voting will be the casting of a ballot against the republican ring that has misgoverned the state, county and city. Perhaps the vote will be counted. There is reason to believe that the old crowd will do all it can to prevent the counting of sufficient votes to break it up. Hendrickson Responsible Harry Hendrickson, republican rounty chairman, has ignored the pleas of the republicans who oppose the Goodrich-Jewett ring in Marion county for representation on the primary election boards and recommended only organization members for these positions. With a few exceptions little fault can be found with the men named to act on the boards, but the refusal to accede to a proper request, properly made, for representation when such representation could not possibly have harmed any candidate is beyond understanding. It will be viewed as a suspicious decision. Those republicans who have long been acquainted with machine methods will have a basis for! their suspicion that fair play is not to predominate In the primaries. Those republicans who bolted their ticket in 1912 and formed the pro-j gressive party because of such tactics will have hard work reconciling the ideals they had then with the relinquishment of fair play ideals which they are now called upon to make. ' • Harry Hendrickson was one of the republicans who fought such machine domination in 1912. Today he is one of the machine that seeks to perpetuate its existence and its unfair methods in Marion county. Carlin Shank, republican county commissioner, is another who hopes to continue his name on the county pay roll by the n.a : ntenance of the machine. When he becomes the candidate for recorder the record of his attitude will be remembered. As we have said before, we can see no reason why the “antis’’,should not be represented on the election boards unless it Is proposed so to conduct the primaries that the “antis’’ are not to have a f°lr deal in the counting of the ballots. At any rate Hendrickson has taken the full responsibility for the olection boards. \ Their conduct will show why, _ \

TWO DEMOCRATS MAKE CONTEST FOR TREASURER George M. Spiegel Has Support of Substantial Business Element of Party. WOOLLING IS CRITICISED GEORGE M. SFIEGKL. The most Interesting primary fight unI der way in the democratic rank* is that ! between George M. Spiegel nml Frank F. I Woolling for the nomination for treaai urer. When the democrats were seeking candidates for county offices, before it became apparent that the democratic ticket would be elected, both Mr. Spiegel and Mr. Woolllng were asked to make the race and both consented to make it in the belief that there would bo no contest for the nomination. { Before the time for filing expired Mr. Woolllng determined to become a candidate on his own responsibility, regardless of whether or not there were other candidates. He filed his own declaration and went ! lr. to win the nomination on his own responsibility. Meanwhile, Mr. Spiegel's annonneement bad been made public, and his friends Insisted that he remain in the rare. The result Is that the two men are contesting for the place on different platforms and from entirely different motives. SPIEGEL LONG IN HI SINKS* UK UK. Mr. Spiegel, who hns lived In Indianapolis since risst and has been In t!w> insurance business here seventeen yearn, i has pledged an administration of the | treasurer's office that will be a direct reversal of the methods used here under | republican rule. He is a business man with ability to give such an administration, is a democrat whose loyalty has never been questioned, and tlie kind of a man who will lend strength and stability to the demoj erattc ticket. He has two sons actlvo in democratic j politics, one of whom has been president !of the Indiana Democratic club, while j the other also has served his party In an j organization capacity. Mr. Spiegel is a member of the First j Lutheran church, of Oriental lodge. F. ! and A. M, and Oriental chapter, It. A. j M.; was eminent commander of Kapler i commandery In 1809, and belongs to the Shrine; and now Is deputy master of the Lodge of Perfection, Scottish Hite, Mr. Spiegel has the earnest support of the substantia! business element of the party and hia nomination for treasurer can only be prevented by the success of appeals to factions of tbs party having a greater regard for personal interests than for the party itself. H'OOt.UNd'H ACTION IN CRITICISED. Frank F. Woolllng is on Indianapolis I native, n son of Joseph 11. Woolllng, who ; long was a member of the Marlon county I council. He bus been active In the building of | apartment houses in this city and in other building operations. He Is a member of the First Baptist church, Oriental lodge No. fiOO, Scottish Rite end Murat Temple, Delta Tau Delta fraternity and the Indianapolis Canoe club. He baa been active In democratic organization work, and la president of the FRANK F. WOOLLING. Democratic club, whose by-laws provide that no officer shall be a candidate for office. Mr. Woolllng pledges himself If elected treasurer to “take no funds except those to which the treasurer Is legitliy entitled,’’ to spend his time (systematizing the treasurer’s work so ttiat taxpayers will know In advance what their tnxes are and will not hare to wait

There has been no criticism of Mr. Woolllng'* candidacy on tho grounds of unfitness for the office, but considerable on tho manner in which the candidacy ha* been conducted. CARROLL ALLIANCE IS ATTEMPTED. An effort has been made to couple bis candidacy with the candidacy ot Thomas Carroll for tho county chairmanship, and it has brought forth a denial from Mr. Carroll of any alliance with Woolllng. Certain elements of tho democratic party who correspond to the element now in control of the republican party are represented among the most ardsgit supporters of Woolllng, and ho is personally seeking support of the machinetype of workers and voters rather thmi of the more substantial voters of the county.

PLEADS MOTOR FUEL ECONOMY Speaker at Engineers* Banquet Points to Growing Crisis. Automotive production is following a straight line upward, while fuel production is bending away in a line that will very shortly tako a downward bent, so It behooves motor builders to accept the fuel problem as one of vital concern to them, C. F. (“Boss”) Kettering, president of the Dayton Engineering Lahore tories, told members of the Society of Automotive Engineers at a banquet In the Riley room of the Clay pool hotel last night. “There a o two ways out of this difficulty,” said Mr. Kettering. “One Is to find means to increase the fuel supply and the other is to make our motors do what the sales department says they will do.” Great economy may be accomplished, tho speaker said, by a more minute per-

section of motor parts, to do away with friction and to prevent waste of fuel in burning. “I began to puzzle over this fuel problem five years ago, but It is only in the last two years that gasoline producers and automobile makers have beea loqking upon it with concern. ‘Before that time the automobile man said his production was being sold at fast us he could moke It, and the oil man said the same thing, so they could see nothing to worry about. "Now with many refineries Idle and the demand for motor fuel far outstripping the production, both oil men and motor makers are waking to the seriousness of the situation." PRO RATA SI’PPLY CO NST ANT LY LOW KRING. Mr. Kettering said that the supply of gasoline today is about one and threequarters gallon per automobile per day, and hundreds of factories are turning out new automobiles to bring that average still lower while the gasoline supply is not on the increase. Discussing atomic energy, the latest

Mr. Kettering expressed the opiniq** that menus to utilize the enormous power embodied in atoms will soon be discovered. That, he said, will solve fuel problems finally. TENNESSEE MARK I AGE LAWS.
