"WILCOX NAMED " TO FIGHT FOR SENATE SEAT Eau Claire Lawyer Will Oppose Young La Follette in Badger Race. Bu United Press OSHKOSH, Wis., Aug. 14.—Conservation Republicans of Wisconsin, united behind Roy P. Wilcox, an Eau Claire lawyer, shortly after midnight, in a drive to dethrone the La Follette regime and swing the State back to the support of President Coolidge and the national administration. In the first Republican convention In the State in twenty years, Wilcox, a former State Senator and several times a candidate for governor, was nominated to defeat Robert M. La Follette, Jr., in the senatorial race for the seat made vacant by the dea,th of the late “Fighting Bob” La Follette. Known as La Follette Enemy ' Throughout his varied career in Wisconsin politics, Wilcox has been known as a biter enemy of •s late Senator. In announcing his candidacy he said: “The heir apparent (Robert La toilette, Jr.,) must not be turned looso in Congres r to foster the radical ideas of his radical father.” Wilcox’s platform is in conformity with the policies of the Coolidge administration. Success Believed Possible Success for Wilcox, which many political observers believe possible in view of the harmony demonstrated in the convention, would mean a serious setback to the younger La Follette in his fight to perpetuate his distinguished father’s Wisconsin political organization and his libera) policies in national affairs. There are almost certain to be other candidates in the field, however, thus making it more difficult to unite all the anti-La Follette Republicans under the Wilcox banner.

Call of Europe, Florida and Other Spots Is Answered in Indianapolis

By Elo'ise Walton <<['”" 3 HERE is everybody?” de\X/ manded one woman of table the other day, “I’ve never heard so many people traveling before. Practically everyone I know has gone some place this summer.” And she is right. There has never been such an unusual amount •of traveling. Everyone who can, has packed a trunk and gone away somewhere. Railroad and steamship company officials declare they have witnessed a busy summer, and can back up their statements with plain figures. To Europe of course, belongs the prize for popularity. More supressed desires for European travel are being worked off this summer, than ever before. Steerage isn’t steerage any more, it is "tourist class,” and as a result, Main St. has forgotten all about seeing America first, and is promenading in Piccadilly and the Boulevard des Italiens. In a word, foreign travel has become flivverized. / Any person who reaches New York with $226 plus five cents street car fare to the docks, can spend three weeks at sea and in London and Paris, and be delivered back here safe and well fed without spending a single extra sou. The pigeonhole bunks of the steerage have been tom out, and neat litle staterooms accommodating from two to six passengers substituted. Three times as many persons are going to Europe this summer as last. One company estimated it would carry 12,000 tourist passengers each way. Europe is being shown this summer what an American rush hour traffic jam looks like. Many Passport Here And right here in Indianapolis in the office of the clerk of, Mrs. Anna L. Harris, a deputy clerk held up a raft of passport applications gathered since May. There must have been well over 500 of them, whether they were first, ©econd, or tourist class. Florida takes second place, though, and a mighty close second it has become. The number of people who are going South on every train is

near Plainfield. In 1842, bribed oy Van Buren's political opponents, a stage coach driver Is said to have upset Van Buren in a mud hole at the roots of this tree. Van Buren had vetoed a measure for highway improvement and was npt popular with stage coach drivers. Penal Farm The Indiana State Farm, penal Institution at Putnamville in Putnam County; at Terre Haute, State Normal School, Rose Polytechnic Institute. This is the site of the old Ft. Harrison, notable in the war of 1812. Markle’s mill still stands here. This mill has ground grain for 100 years. At Vincennes, capital of Indiana Territory, is Ft. Knox and site of Ft. Sackville. At New Harmony the first experiment in communism was tried by the Owens. Thomas Say, one of the world’s most famous naturalists, is buried here. Here also is located the Fauntle-

startling, if not appallling. J. C. Millspaugh, division passenger agent for the Pennsylvania lines In Indianapolis, said: “The amount of travel to Florida is larger this summer than any one previous. In fact, travel to Florida during the past two or three months has equalled, if not exceeded, any period of heavy travel during the winter months.” A train leaves Chicago every night for Florida, booked for 200 reservations, a large number of which are made right here in Indianapolis. The railroad companies are hard-pressed to get cars enough to accommodate the enthusiasts. But there are trains to other parts of this wide land that are not being neglected. The Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks, the Grand Canyon and the Canadian Rockies have come in for a large share of atten-

roy home, where was held the first women’s club meeting of Indiana. Route Recommended Touring department of the Hoosier Motor Club recommends the following trip: Leave Indanapolls southwest over State Rd. 3, passing through Plainfield, Harmony, Terre Haute to Marshall, 111. State Rd. 3 becomes State Rd. 11 in Illinois. Go south on State Rd. 1 from Marshall through Robinson to Lawrencevllle. 111. Here drive west over State Rd. 12, crossing the Wabash River to Vincennes, Ind. Drive south over State Rd. 10 to five miles south of Princeton and southwest over county road to Owensville. Here take State Rd. 20, driving south to New Harmony. Distance from Indianapolis is 206 miles. Different return route Is: Return over route outlined to Vincennes, driving northeast over State Rd. 12 through Worthington to Spencer and Martinsville. Here take State Rd. 22 to Indianapolis. Return trip is 191 miles. There is a good gravel detour between Lawrencevllle, 111., and Vlncenes, Ind. All roads are reported in good condition, part of which is and part gravel.

tion this summer. Then, too, a number of big conventions on the west coast have taken numbers of delegates and members from Indiana. The largest of these was the Shrine convention, held in May at Los Angeles, which was attended by 400 from Indiana. Indiana Knights Templars attended their convention in Seattle, Wash., 350 strong, and 125 Indiana Elks went to Portland, Ore., this summer. Also Go East “But,” says J. W. Gardner, division passenger agent of the Big Four route, “travel to the East is still as good or better than that to the West. Quite a number of Indianaplis people have gone to New England this summer, to the resorts in Maine, New Hampshire, to Cape Cod and Provincetown.” “Are many taking the lake trips?” he was asked. "Quite a few, yes, but the cool weather has retarded much water travel.” But, anyway, these are the places that have claimed the attention of the greater number of traveling Indianapolis citizens, and when they all come home at last, a very cosmopolitan should prevail over the city—and Europe should be able to make her first payment of her war debt! TO BOOST STATE FAIR State Officers and Railroad Officials Well Meet. Governor Ed Jackson. Lieutenant Governor F. Harold Van Orman and G. I. Christie, -head of the Purdue University agricultural experiment station, have agreed to take part In a meeting which will be held Aug. 18 in offices of the State board of agriculture at the Statehouse for the purpose of stimulating interest in the State fair. Officials of a number of railroads and interurban companies also will attend and discuss plans for boosting attendance, according to E. J. Barker, secretary-treasurer of the board.

‘Tom’ Passes Along After 20 Years “Old Tom” is no more. For twenty years, so 'tis claimed, “Old Tom,” a large black and white cat, had purred and been petted at the Stubbins Hotel, 42 W. Georgia St. Mrs. Mabel W. McClellan, housekeeper, said “Tom” was brought there when he was about 2 years old by a former owner, who is now dead. “He was a model cat,” said Mrs. McClellan. “Every one liked him, and he was particular over his food." “Tom.” who had been ailing for several weeks, was found dead Sunday by Mrs. McClellan. He had lived all his nine lives.

LANTERN FEAST ATTRACTS MANY Brookside Civic Affair Proves Success.

ASK DEATH FOR YOUNG KILLER ‘Samaritan’ Slayer to Face Court Today. Bv United Press t SEDALIA, Mo., Aug. 14.—The death penalty will be asked by prosecutor Roy Rucked, for Everett Adams, 17 year old, Wilmington, 0., who confessed he killed A. R.

Aaron R. Royster

9 A mere youth of 81, Aaron R. Royster, 726 Tremont St., won the consolation flight at the Old Settlers Reunion at Broad Ripple Park Thursday afternoon as the oldest native of Marlon County present. He really wasn't the oldest, as Joseph Johnson, father of Park Commissioner Emsley Johnson, is 83 The latter, however, was disqualified because of being president of the association and of winning a prev.ous prize, for being the ugliest man present. Royster was awarded a prize of a hat donated by Harry Levinson. Times have changed quite a bit since he was born in Wayne Township, he opines. “Women didn’t make a skirt out of a yard of silk then, “he said. “Fourteen yards of calico, at least, was necessary to clothe most of them.”

Downtrodden Mexicans Say Calles or Chaos *

A peon’s son. The revolt of 12,000,000 peons, (flattened-out people) against four hundred years of oppression has placed a labor government in control of Mexico. To make self-respecting citizens out of such as these is the big job of the Calles government.

Note: Secretary of State Kell ogg has intimated that anew revolution might be brewing In Mexico. Also that American and other nrhta down there are bein gtrodden upon, with the promise of trouble for President Cal es unless there’s a change of policy. Just what is going on south of the Rio Grande i To life the veil from this mystery, this paper sent a special correspondent down there to Investigate. His only instructions were to seek the truth and tell it. In view of Secretary Kellogg s mysterious warnings, his story is. of utmost importance to every American. By Max Stem Times Staff Correspondent MEXICO CITY, Aug., 14.—The building of a modem nation upon the foundation of simple human rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness—this is the meaning of the recent turbulent events In “America’s Ireland,” the Republic of Mexico. After fifteen years of civil war; after thirty years of Diaz "peace” when the land was put in pawn to foreign invaders and corruption was enthroned as a state'policy, after 400 years of looting, slavery, pestilence and flood, the Mexican people are today, for the first time, raising their heads to demand from the world the right of self-determination. To back up these demands a vigorous house-cleaning is on. The program of the new President. Plutarco Elias Calle’s government means more than simple reconstruction. Task Staggering This government proposes to fulfill as nearly as possible the letter of the 1917 constitution, a document as sacred to Mexico’s million of peons as our own Constitution to our people. The government may fall, like Madero’s, but it is not likely that it will betray the people as did Huerta and his white guards, or fail the people as did Carranza with his army carpet-baggers. Its task, however, is staggering. The Calles government must steer a course between menacing crags. On the one hand is foreign capital used to the honey-pots of Diaz, chafing under the new demands of a strongly organized union labor and the attempt to administer the new agrarian policy that will give back to the peasants some of their stolen communal lands. In league with the foreign billions are the decadent Creole “aristocracy," a Fascistl said to number 150,000, and a half-dozen defeated and exiled generals lurking along the border in hopes of some happy wind-fall that will finance another revolution. On the other hand are the growingly radical peasant, whom land and food hunger will drive to blind revolt If the government betrays them once more; and the unions of the cities, oil fields and mines, less radical than the farmers, but strong and determined to better their standard of living. Religious Antagonisms Under this economic battleground is a stratum of racial and religious antagonisms, dating back to before the Conquest. These have in places mixed with the economic revolt to form sore spots, which may break forth any day like the smoking volcano, Popocatepetl, that towers over Mexico's capital. The fighting Yaquls, of Sonora: the “reds” of ,Vera Cruz and Tampico, now in strike against the oil companies: the direct-action--Ist agrarians of Morelos and the Yucatan —these must be conciliated as well as American, British and French gold-seekeas. The army, always predatory and venal, is another source of danger, slashes in the personnel of generals has made him less popular with the army than with the civilian population. Growing Stable How wisely Calles and his young statesmen have steered this treacherous course during the seven months of their power Is known to the body of Mexicans and the Mexican press,

if not to Washington diplomatic circles. Even the American colony, with the exception of the jingoes, wish Calles well. They know it is Calles or chaos, and admit that in face of the terrific odds he is doing his best. Many here join with the prevailing American public opinion in denouncing the sophomorio diplomacy that out of a clear sky sent the Kellogg note and threatened to substitute for kindly understand* ing the cooperation the fist of a bully neighbor. In spite of press reports that a counter revolution lurks on every hand. Mexico looks to be peaceful, solvent and growing stable, COOLIDGE OFF TO SEE FATHER President Braves Rain and Fog in Motor Car. Bv United Press SWAMPSCOTT, Mass., Aug. 14.-‘-Bravlng murky weather, President and Mrs. Coolidge set out by motor today for Plymouth, Vt., to visit the President's aged father who is spending his last years in the barren Vermont hills where his son was born.

SECOND SECTION

SHANKIGNORES PROPOSED DROP IN PARK BUDGET Defies Council to Reduce Levy From 8 to 7 Cents. Mayor Shank today defied members of the city council to reduce the park board budget from 8 to 7 cents, as had been Intimated council will do at its meeting Monday night. Shank held the heavy war club of inability to carry out improvements in their bailiwicks over the heads of the rebellious councilmen. “I don't care what they do," Shank declared, “but they'd better reflect upon the certainty of losing the south side and Brlghtwood golf links, Riley Hospital playground and a flock of comfort stations in these parks if they cut the park board budget.” Shank said the budget would lie submitted immediately to eity council without consideration by John L. Duvall, Republican nomine for mayor, because Duvall is not in the city. “If he had been especially desirous of looking it over, he'd have been in town," Shank said. Shank said the levy of $1.0625, approved Thursday, is ample to permit the next mayor to govern the City as capably as it has been ruled during the last four .vearj.
