REAPER TO BUY BOSSES THAN TO f BUYTHEVOTERS That Is Reason Politicians Favor Abolishment of Direct Primary. By N. D. Cochran, Timet Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 22.—Pennsylvania enjoys no monopoly of the fine art of buying votes. It is merely distinguished by the superior size and scope of its activities along that line. Only a few years ago one little County in Ohio, and a rural county at that, got on the first page of newspapers all over the country through the wholesale indictment of citizens of that county for the high crime of selling their votes. 1 The inside story of those wholesale indictments is interesting. The selling of votes had been going On so long in that county that it had become a habit. So long as it wasn’t too expensive, this thrifty habit of the voters' didn’t disturb the politicians in either party. They kept on tunning for office and paying the price. Prices Mount For a long time nobody worked up enough indignation to kick up a rumpus about this wholesale debauchery of the voters. But the

SUFFERED FROM AWFUL BLOATING SHE NEAR CHOKED Local Lady Relieved of Stomach Trouble, Nervousness and 111 Health by Konjola. Day after day and week after week and month after month, crowds continue to call and see the Konjola Man at Hook’s drug store, Pennsylvania and Market streets, Indianapolis, where he is introducing this celebrated new Konjola

MRS. PRUDIE BOND medicine that has given surprising relief in thousands of cases of dtomach, liver, kidney and bowel disorders and rheumatic ind neuritis troubles. Just a few days ago Mrs. Prudie Bond, well-known .local lady, living at 56 South Grace St., Indianapolis, made the following remarkable statement about the benefits derived from the use of this "■Konjola compound. Vl’ve certainly enjoyed wonderful health since I started taking Konjola, and I cannot help but praise this medicine,” said Mrs. Bond. ‘‘l had such miserable stomach trouble that everything I ate disagreed with me, and after meals I would become so bloated and swollen that I would nearly choke from the gas which formed in my system. I’d get short of breath, and my heart would flutter, and I had such pains in the pit of my stomach and around my heart that it felt like a knife sticking me. I wouldn’t dare eat pickles or any acid food, but no matter what I ate, it would only form a hard lump in my stomach, cause terrible indigestion and suffeing of the worst kind. "My nerves were on edge all the time, so that I became excited even 1 when someone mentioned my name unexpectedly, and many times I would become melancholy and despondent and just cry like a child. At nights I would walk the floor for hours, because of restlessness and the awful stomach suffering. Sometimes I would have to apply hot applications to relieve the pains in my stomach. I was also troubled with constipation, liver was torpid and inactive so that dizzy spells would come over me, and black spots appeared before my eyes, and I'd have to hold on to something to keep from falling. I always had to use laxatives dally, and I really had £ome to the place where my health was a complete wreck before I started taking Konjola. "I used lots of remedies and had special medical attention for three years before I heard about Konjola, but now since I’ve taken your medicine I know it is just what my broken-down system had always needed. I can safely say my stomach miseries are really ended now, for everything I eat agrees with me, even sour things, 'because I drank two lemonades and never suffered one bit. All the heart pains and fluttering are gone, and the gas, bloating and indigestion never bother me. I don’t become shout of breath, and I can sleep fine at nights. My nerves are. settled, and the constipation and headaches are relieved, also 1 the dizzy spells and black spots do pot come any more. My whole system is improved in general, and I have a lot more energy and strength. “I don’t remember when I ever felt better tn my life than I do since I got Konjola. and so it is a plersure to Indorse such a fine medicine.” The Konjola man is at Hook’s ( 1 rug store. Pennsylvania and Market streets, Indianapolis, where he )■? daily meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Free samples given. Konjola is also for sale by every Hook drug store in thi3 city, and by all good druggists in the nearhf towns.—Advertisement. q''

price went up. It kept going up. Finally the high price of running for office drove office-seekers to desperation and reform. Then something happened. The hard-boiled political gangsters In both old parties got their heads together and decided that vote-buying was an evil when the price of votes got so hlght hat it violated the rule of reason. In order to play fair with one another the Republicans and Democratic politicians agreed that the Judge who would have to try the vote-sellers should appoint a lawyer of the other party a special prosecutor for this special work of reform. Pennsylvania Parallel Then followed the Indictment of of voters for the unAmerican crime of selling their votes. And the learned judge got much favorable publicity as a courageous reformer. In the meantime, the price of votes in that county went down, and the office-seekers could hold office and at the same time keep a larger share of the remuneration for themselves. In Pennsylvania, however, this reform fever didn't set in until after that Senate committee' began to show how many millions it costs to nominate a candidate for United States Senator in that rich industrial commonwealth. Indeed, there had been no complaint about the high price of voters. Ten dollars per vote didn't disturb the Mellons. Grundys, Peppers, Vares and Pinchots. But the millions looked bad in the newspapers. 4 Reason of Reform And now the spirit of reform is abroad in Pennsylvania. Running for a senatorial nomination costs too much. What to do? Cut the cost. But how will they cut the cost? Why, abolish the primary system. That will put the senatorial business on a more economical basis. It costs less to buy the politicians who run a convention than to buy the voters themselves. And it’s more efficient. Besides that, it’s safer and surer. The highest bidder might be beaten at a primary election, but never in a boss-con trolled convention. No wonder the politicians want to abolish direct nominations by pri maries. It interferes with their business. They can sell to the highest bidder and pocket she money. In a primary, however, even the highest bidder has no cinch. Even the Mellons lost out in spite of their millions. That may explain why the spirit of reform ha3 entered the blood of both the politicians and the highest bidders in the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

COUNCIL DELAYS . MAYOR’S DECISION ON BARRET FUND Duvall Hesitates to Face Issue of Ending Treasurer’s Plum. Mayor Duvall will be spared for some time the decision whether to halt the practice of pocketing Barrett law interest prapayments, a procedure he once enjoyed as Marion County treasurer. City councilmen cooperated to that end when at a meeting Monday night they granted O. Ray Albertson, committee chairman, additional time to consider an ordinance designed to end the quaint custom whereby the treasurer of a county of 425,009 population makes more money than Calvin Coolldge, who rules over ?20,000,000 people. Would Force Stand Passage of the ordinance would place the issue of continuance or termination of the interest system squarely up to Mayor Duvall, who would be called upon either to approve or veto the measure. However, Councilman Edward B. Raub, Democrat, has indicated the party will make the Barrett law question a vital issue in the coming campaign. Duvall is seriously embarrassed In solving the question through fear that he may be forced to return the Barrett law Interest funds he pocketed while county and because he has little desire to prevent Clyde K. Robinson, his business associate, who is Republican nominee for treasured, from enjoying all the emoluments of the office, if elected. Delay Plan Body Quiz Majority faction councilmen also were able to postpone the "investigation” of the city plan commission. They executed a rapid about face on the park board “inquiry,” Councilman Otis E. Bartholo, mew succeeding in striking from the files the resolution Introduced at last meeting concerning the parks body.

The reason for the reversal was the fact that peaceful resignation of two park board members, tlfe administration sought to oust, removed the necessity for eouncilmanic cooperaton. However, the ordinance to create the board of zoning appeals of five members to nullify the power of the plan commission was Introduced. Other new ordinances would raise taxie cab lincense fees from $8 to ! SIOO and remove all sign hoards | while a resolution would authorize an “Investigation” as to ownership of the canal. Opposel vigorously by Albertson and Raub, the ordinance raising the wholesale Junk dealers' license fees from SIOO to SI,OOO a year was defeated. Councilman Millard YV. Ferguson switched from the majority fraction to achieve the slaughter of the measure.

FARM COMMITTEE IN NOOSE SNUTS . UPFORSUMMER Action on 22 Pending Bills Deferred to December— Up to Senate Now. Timet Wathinoton Bureau. IStI .Ve*e York Arenue WASHINGTON, June 22.—" Closed for the Summer,” was hung on the farm relief question by the House Agriculture /Committee today. Following one of the most hectic session in years, the committee announced an end to its formal business until reconvening of Congress next^December. Action on twenty-two farm relief hills still pending in committee was deferred until that time. The bills propose everything from "promotion of agriculture in Arkansas” to Inauguration of a "national agricultural day." Bore Full Brunt * Full brunt of the storm of indignation arising in the We.J and South over farm conditions was borne by the House committee at the opening of the present session. Long before the other members of Congress were well aware what was happening in the Nation’s open spaces, the twen-ty-one committee members knew all about it. Asa result, three farm relief bills were reported out, the now famous Haugen-Tincher and Aswell bills, each differing as to how the farmer was to be saved. The Haugen bill generally sup l ported by farmers, was defeated on the House floor. The other two bills are likely to die on the calendar. Favorable Trend Meanwhile the McNary hill, similar to the Haugen bill, has been,reported out by the Senate Agriculture Committee, and Senate action on it is still problematical, although there was a slightly stronger trend in its favor. Should the Senate pass this hill, Gtlbeyt N. Haugen. 67, of lowa, white-haired chairman of the House Committee, will he able to say, “I told you so.” For the House then will be forced to reconsider its action on his proposals. Farm Senators believed the increased strength of the measure was attributable to the fear of a "farmer revolution” in the West, and threats of a farm bloc coalition with the Democrats.

Albertson, Indiana Council of Religious Education secretary, arrived in New York today, where he will Join 100 other religious workers for a tour of the old world to study social, political.
