DEMOCRATS OF STATE WARNED , TO ‘FIGHT HARD’ Warnings on Over-Confi-dence Are Sounded at Meeting in City. Warnings against over-confidence and pleas for party loyalty, thorough organization, and courageous campaigning w ete sounded at the conference of Democratic leaders and State committee members at the Claypool Hotel, Wednesday. Corruption In State and national government was stressed, but warnings were reiterated that the Democratic party could not hope for victory at the polls in 1928 if it “laid back on its oars,” counting on an aroused public sentiment to depose republicanism.

Updike returns to Indianapolis after Congress adjournment he may be brought into Municipal Court One ad asked to show cause why he has not paid an $80.54 judgment against him.

Morgan, in turn, wrote Updike as follows: “Because of your failure to forward the check at the time this case was set. we waited a week longer, but although you wired the check was in the mail, no check was received, and, accordingly, we had to take judgment. “This matter has been pending for over six months and I believe you have had more than enough time to settle it.” The building company bought the assets of the insurance firm operated by Harvey Bedford and George S. Elliott, former county Klan leaders, which included Updike's policy. • . On Dec. 2, Morgan received a slip from the postoffice showing the letter was received and signed for by Updike.
