InMatra amncs INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Dally Except Sunday, 25-29 South Meridian Street Telephones—Main 3600, New 28-351 MEMBER OF AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS. Advertising Offices—Chicago, New York, Boston, Detroit, G. Logan Payne Cos. —“THIS IS THE YEAR”— GEORGE V. COFFIN, on whom the Harding forces depended for help in Marion county, seems to have demonstrated that the power of some politicians is inseparable from a uniform and club. WE HOPE the cleanup campaign about to be launched in Indianapolis will extend to the gambling dives on Indiana avenue. BUT WHY should the News go so far away from home to find crookedness in the primary when there are so many excellent examples in Marion county? ANYHOW, Hiram Johnson didn’t make any combinations with the negro politicians to save himself from defeat. Our Black and Tan Vote In fifteen precincts of Marion county, in the republicjm primaries Tuesday, James R. Norrell, a negro “doctor,” whose character has been a source of considerable comment for years in Indianapolis, got more votes than James W. Fesler, the Marion county candidate for governor. In thirteen of these precincts the negro Norrell got more votes than Gen. Leonard Wood, the candidate for president. In three of these precincts the negro, Norrell, got more votes than were recorded for all the candidates for governor. In one of these precincts the negro, Norrell, got more votes than the combined total given to all the presidential candidates. In the rest of the precincts of the county Norrell ran far behind all ether candidates and of course he failed of nomination. There is only one possible explanation of his strength in these fifteen precincts. The returns were crooked in the Interest of Gen. Leonard Wood’s candidacy by some persons who were also friendly to Norrell. ■While they were crooking 'the returns for Wood, they padded Norrell’s vote, also, with the grotesque results that this negro proved a more popular candidate in this vicinity than Mr. Fesler, the choice for governor of the Marion party branch of the party that Will Hays says represents “the aristocracy of culture and intellect in Indiana.” In these fifteen precincts, according to the returns which the republican party seems willing to accept as correct, Norrell got 2,309 votes, Fesler got 1,179 votes and Wood got 1,939 votes. Asa matter of fact, in these fifteen precincts, not more than fifteen hundred persons voted the republican ticket, but this is a story of votes, not voters. • The comparison of Norrell’s vote with that of Mr. Fesler, showing that Norrell ran 1,130 votes ahead of the candidate for governor whom Mr. Roemler said was necessary to the success of the ticket in Marion county, is an interesting sidelight on republican primary manipulation. It is estimated that there are 10,000 negro votes in Marion county. Norrell appears to have obtained more than 2,300 of these votes in fifteen precincts and Gen. Wood, whose popularity Harry Hogan says is “not a manufactured sentiment,” ran next to him with 1,939 votes. Thus it appears either that the white voters in these precincts think much of Norrell or „the negro voters do not think so much of Wood. But we hesitate to speculate any more on this subject. If we had a prosecutor the afTair might be straightened out, but since Mr. Adams has agreed with us that "spineless prosecution” is what ails the county we can say no more. Except, of course, that the precincts in which Norrell walloped Fesler so sadly were the Third, Sixth and Seventh of the First ward; the Fourth of the Second, the Third, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth of the Third; Thirteenth and Fourteenth of the Fourth; First and Second of the Fifth; Second, Third and Fourth of the Sixth wards. The precinct in which Norrell got more votes than all the presidential candidates combined was the Thirteenth of the Fourth ward, and the precincts in which he got more votes than all the aspirants for governor were the Thirteenth of the Fourth, the Fourteenth of the Fourth and the First of the Fifth. Different Types of Tickets It would be absolute folly for this newspaper to pretend enCire satisfaction with the results of the democratic primary. The nominations were made by too small a proportion of the democratic party to be entirely representative and there were some selections that we do not believe represent the will of the democratic voters. Some of these selections are the results of republican influence in the democrat ranks and some are the results of the failure of a great part of the democrats to go to the polls. Oto the whole, however, the democrats of Marion county are to be congratulated on the good judgment displayed in the selection of the ticket and the people of Marion county are to be congratulated on the opportunlty they will have next fall to vote a ticket that is not composed of lame ducks, professional politicians and representatives of the Indianapolis News. This year Marion county voters will have the chance to cast their ballots for Thomas Taggart, which opportunity will be appreciated by republicans and democrats alike. In all probabilities Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch, one of Marion county’s own, will be before the voters for governor. Henry N. Spaan, a two-fisted, aggressive fighter for sound governmental principles, will oppose MerriH Moores, who has made so little impression in Washington, that Senator Harding required an introduction to him when they met in Indianapolis. Chalmer Schlosser, whose candidacies for congress have made him well-known to the citizens of the county will oppose L. B. Ewbank for the circuit bench. Paul G. Davis, young, energetic and a capable lawyer who believes In seeking “criminal intent” instead of avoiding manifestations of it will offer the county a different administration of the prosecutor’s office than is contemplated by William P. Evans, the deputy of the spineless Claris Adams and the unanimous choice of the gamblers and bootleggers who ply their trades under the present administration. Oren Hack, John W. Holtzman, Edward B. Raub, Floyd E. Williamson are of a different type than the legislators who passed the Goodrich centralization legislation, including the tax law. So it is, on down the line of democratic nominees. They are of ad ffereqt type than the machine-owned crow-d of officeholders who brought the Marion county administration to the point where part of it is trying to dodge grand jury indictment and the most of the rest of it ought to be. The issues of the campaign in Marion county will be Bimple and closely drawn. The people of Marion county will elect the democratic ticket as a protest against the present kind of administration or they will give us two years more of the Goodrich-Lemcke-Jewett kind of administration which we are now “enjoying.” Let Us Try It Out Nearly a year ago a bill, introduced in congress, provided that the manufacturer of any article should mark on it in plain figures the price that he had received for it at his factory. The bill was intended to protect the ultimate consumer against exorbitant profiteering between the manufacturer’s price and the retailer’s price. Had this bill become law It would have complicated and upset business and would have been extremely hard to enforce. So it died immediately after it was introduced. The principle involved was correct, but the Inability to work it out in a manner that would have made its enforcement possible was fatal. Now there has been introduced a bill which provides that a manufacturer of shoes shall mark on the sole of each pair of Bhoes the price he receives for them at his factory. This bill should go through congress arid It will be easy to enforce its provisions. The buyer of a pair of shoes then would be able to know as soon as he looked at the bottom Just how much profit had been grabbed off between the manufacturer and himself by the wholesaler, the jobber and the retailer. For instance, if a pair of shoes marked by the manufacturer at 34 were offered by the retailer at fl 2, the customer would know that he was being cheated and held up. The American public is quite willing to-pay a good price and a fair profit, but it will noi stand for being robcKnl very long.—W. D. Boyce it the Saturday Blade, Chicago.

WINS LAWSUIT 130 YEARS OLD Holy See Triumph in Longstanding Roman Litigation. ROME, May 7.—ln 1788 a wealthy prelate, Mgr. Varese, died, leaving the bulk of his fortune, which amounted to several millions of lire, to the Holy See and more especially to the Sacred Congregation of Propaganda Fide. The testator’s next of kin. Count Clofl Degli Atti, attacked the validity of the will, asserting that Mgr. Varese was not in full possession of his mental faculties. An Interminable lawsuit has been going on ever since, with varying fortune and vicissitudes, both parties making every effort to establish their claim to the Varese millions. Things looked bad for the noly See when the court appeals of Equlla pronounced a sentence in favor of the plaintiffs, condemning the Congregation of Propaganda Fide to the restitution of the entire sum with compound interest since the year 1788. It would have meant bankruptcy for the Holy See, but the latter had recourse to the supreme court of cassation, which has now declared the Aquila sentence null and void, owing to faulty procedure, ordering that the lawsuit be again brought for discussion before tbe court of appeals of Bologna. There is a formidable array of counsel, the Conslstorlai Advocates Santucci, Camtneo, Mussi and Pacelll appearing for tbe Congregation us Propaganda Fide, and Advocates Sclaroia, Trincheri and Sonnlno for Count Ciotl Degli Attl. SBOO PACKED IN GROCERIES Honest Farmer’s Wife Saves Storekeeper’s Loss. JOLIET, 111., May ".—Only a farmer’s wife, but honest as the day is long is Mrs. William Metxger of near Joliet. When she returned home from a grocery purchasing trip in Joliet the other day she found an extra package in her provender basket. She opened It and found SBOB inside, all in genuine bills. Amazed, she returned to the store. There the cashier and proprietor were in hysterics. But they became calm as soon as Mrs. Metzger asked "who put the money in my basket.” It was diclosed the cashier had Just prepared the store cash for banking when Mrs. Metzger came in the first time. Called behind the counter the cashier took the money with him. Stopping a moment to watt on a customer the cashier laid the money bundle down on the counter. A clerk alongside him was wrapping . up Mrs.. Metzger's order. Without inspection he took the money package and dumped it into Mrs. Metzger's basket. Then the fun began. But Mrs. Metzger made them all happy by returning the money. She was offered a SSO reward, but refused. Nail Friend’s Ear to Wall as a Joke SHERIDAN. Wyo.. May 7. Willlnm Davis daclares It was only a Joke, but the court agreed with Walter Snow that the Joke was carried a trifle too far and held Davis on a charge of assault and battery. Davis, Snow and a party of friends were attending a dance at Dayton, near here, when it was decided to "throw a scare" into Snow. Acording to the complaint. Snow was playfully held against a wall while Davis drove a nail through his ear. It is charged that Davis struck a ten- 1 penny nail a smart blow with a hammer, the nail penetrating the lobe of Snow's ear and sinking nearly a half Inch into the wall. It was necessary to use the claw of the hammer to release Snow.
