BRANTS NEAT AND LIGHT PATS HONOR TO PERRY Offices to Be Closed During Funeral —President Accords Tribute. L. B. Andrus, president Merchants Heat and Light Company today paid tribute to the late C. C.

Thursday, during the Perry funeral. HLs Tribute Andrus’ tribute: To me, who has had the opportunity and pleasure of a close acquaintance with Charles C. Perry, and often requiring in the nature of utility business relations, the opporunity of intimate and close association, the news of his death comes as quite a shock. Our acquaintance in the utility field of operation is one of long standing, and in recent years when representing the interest of the Merchants Heat and Light Company, in the many difficult problems arising in common in the utility field Mr. Perry’s appreciation of the other fellow's position, his attitude in the matter of human relationship between men and his good and strong character always made it a pleasure to counsel with and seek his advice on larger problems arising in the business of conducting utility operations in Indianapolis. Student of Men I know that Mr. Perry was a fre.it student of the men who were working with him in his company. 1 know from personal contact with him that he would observe characters of the men who were working for him .jnd the influenc of their experl-nce, also their temperament and their general views on related questions. In utility matters he would observe those things that make for efficiency and also the things that were •mpediments to the conduct of the business. He would do this without malice or h trd feelings, hut rather with a sincere desire to find out the host way of conducting the business as a whole. I know that Mr. Perry’s ambition was to have bis company perform its work in the most ideal way. as he was firmly •if the helief that it was the activities of today which would shape the future. ' Mr. Perry was a power in the Indiana utility field, yet he had the. faculty of exercising such power, irrespcetKe of authority, and in his death the utilities of the State huvsuffered a real loss.

Campaign DAY BY DAY

John W. Davis’ reply to former Attorney General Daugherty's letter criticising the Democratic candidate's remarks about him, furnished the overnight political sensation. Democrats saw in It an opportunity to keep alive their standard bearers’ "honesty in Government program.” Davis was expected to use the Daugherty letter as ammunition in his coming speeches in West Virginia and Delaware. The independents also seized on the Daugherty letter in which Gaston B. Means was quoted as repudiating his tests for the Senate committee investigating the Department of Justice. Senator Wheeler, vice presidential candidate, issued a statement en route to S* Paul for a political speech, declaring the in vestigating committee must reopen its hearings immediately. Republicans were irritated by a speech of Senator Caraway of Arkansas before a Democratic Club in which the Senator read a speech he sa:d Secretary of the Navy Wilbur had intended to deliver in Denver in support of the LeSTgue of Nations. President Coolidge took no official notice of the incident. G. o. P., politicians were watching the New York State situation closely as the national campaign probabiy will be affected clearly by developments at the party State convention in Rochester, where Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roose velt seems to be the best bet for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. The Democratic State convention opens in Syracuse Thursday and probably will nominate Governor A1 Smith for reelection by acvciam Results of New Jersey primaries in which United States Senator Edge was renominated over Republican National Committeeman Keen, were not considered of great importance in the national campaign.
