HOWARD COUNTY PEACE UPSET BY POSTOFFICE PLUM ‘Faithful’ Object to Purvell’s Plans for Bolstering Political Bulwarks, By Timm Special KOKOMO. Ind., Oct. 28.—With election only a week away and a time when peace and harmony should reign, rumors are flying thick and fast here that all's not well In the Inner circles of the Re- j publican county organization, and j there are signs of open rebellion on the part of the ‘faithful" against the tactics of Representative Fred Purnell in strengthening his political bulwarks. It all hinges around the Kokomo postofllee. according to the whispers going around here. At present, Ben Havens is postmaster. Havens has been identified with the Republican machine for years. He headed the county organization previous to his elevation to the postmastership, directing the party's affairs from the office of city clerk.- He is one of the best known and best liked Republicans in the county. Original Harding Man Four or five years ago. Omar [ Brown, local realtor, arose seriously on the horizon to dispute Havens' j dictatorship. He was nominated for mayor, but was defeated by the women vote. Brown maintained himself. however, by being an original Harding man. He managed the county tor the late president in his pre-convention campaign. Asa reward, he was permitted to take over ; the reigns of the county organization ; as chairman. Brown, now it is said, aspires to he postmaster, and his ambition, further rumor says, is not frowned on by Purnell. And here is where some j of the ‘'faithful” are obiectlng. The : rank and file. It seems, feels as long as one Republican fills the office properly he should not he ousted, and especially just to gratify or re- ; pay another good Republican Fur- j ther color is lent to the report that j Havens is stated for a ride is the . knowledge that Purnell has turned out other Republicans in the districto replace them with other party j workers who more nearly fitted his j needs for a political machine. “Fixer” Is Needed And so there are rumblings in the G. O. P. camp that portend a storm unless some clever “fixer" gets busy with the oil reputed to have quieting, qualities. Some have gone so far \ as to demand that Brown resign as j county chairman for party harmony ; and others axe said to be urging a I bolt from the organization as open j denunciation of the—scheme against i Havens, who they declare should I have as his reward for his long and faithful party reappointment as postmaster.

Beta Sigma Delta and Psi Omega Xi. Although sororities have been in existence in the school for over twenty years, opposition to them developed in the board of trustees in ; 1915, and they were asked to dis- ; continue their activities Some did so and others continued to function i unofficially until recently when th** school again granted them full recognition and brought them under control of the Pan-Hellenic Council, whose activities are directed by Mrs. Harman Bradshaw, faculty representative. Solves Students' Problems Growth of the school necessitated the change In policy toward the sororities, according to Mrs. Brad-1 shaw, who said these organizations have proved helpful in solving prob lems of student government, while! the establishment of sorority chap ter houses has relieved the housing situation.

Democratic workers, led by Beverly Howard, former j Republican boss of the precinct, disI tributed dodgers saying the gathering would be a Ku-Klux Ivlan affair. } The church board announce! there would be no meeting in the J church, and backed up the anj nouncement by standing guard at I the entrances while the Repub- | licans speakers thundrede from a I truck In the street. The Rev. N. A. Seymour, pastor, was the storm center of the controversy, because it was stated had accepted S4O from the Republican county organization for use of the church. Courtney said the officers while Rev. Seymour was on vacation had ! agreed the Republicans could use | the church for a ward meeting to ! instruct voters in the use of a voting machine with the understanding j there woul dbe no charge and no ' speeches. However, the Republican organiza- ! tion sent a check for S4O to the Rev ! Seymour and he accepted it as a con ! tribution to the church's welfare. | Courtney said. With explanations all around in a I meeting of the officers the X4O was ! sent back to the Republicans and I .ill’s well Courtney said. The officers expressed confidence j in Rev. Seymour.
