Two Spanish War Veterans Meet for First Time Since Discharge. A newspaper clipping reunited Thoms O’Connor, Gary steel worker, and Andrew Kuner, 1117 Trowbridge street, Indianapolis, SpanishAmerican war buddies, who had not met since they were discharged thirty years ago.

FOOTBALL COACH MAY RUN AGAINST RINCHOT Well Organized Support Backing Bill Roper for Political Post. By United Press PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 27. William W. (Bill) Roper may forsake football for politics if he accepts the dictates of apparently wel-organized support as a possible opponent for Gifford Pinchot in the Pennsylvania gubernatorial election. The famous Princeton football coach, also a city councilman from the Germantown district, could not be reached for a statement. He recently established himself as a distinct anti-prohibitionist through his testimony before the senate judiciary committee in Washington. Pinchct is an avowed dry.

CANDIDATE USES BALLOON; FOES USE RIFLE Campaign Device Is Good Strategy, but Hard to Keep in Operation. BY PAUL W. WHITE United Press Staff Correspondent LINDEN, N. J„ May 27.—Politics, Eber Kempson believes, makes strange bedfellows conscienceless vandals who would think nothing, lor instance, of shooting down a balloon. To a man easily broken, this balloon business would be discouraging, but there runs in the Kempson blood a strain of obstinacy that simply won’t down. When he announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination as mayor of Linden, he expected hardship. He expected obstacles. He expected opposition, and he got them. The balloon was “Ebe’s”—“that’s what everybody calls me,” he says—own idea. What would be more calculated to attract votes in an industrial city of 21,000 than on inflated bag, twelve feet in diameter, bearing the legend: “Ebe Kempson foi mayor. For a bigger and better Linden”? Come to Marvel It was last Friday when the bag first soared aloft 200 feet above the plant of the Weekly Observer, edited by Kempson. It was an instantaneous success. People came to see and remained to marvel. The candidate’s opponents, George McGilloray, incumbent, and De Witt C. Winans, former councilman-at-

large, stared in mixed admiration and envy. Came Saturday’s dawn, and came Kempson to his office. No longer was the balloon a thing of beauty. It lay upon the roof, miserably shrunken; there were eighteen holes in its once fat sides. Sorrowfully, Kempson went to work with tire patches and adhesive tape, remedying the damage inflicted by an air rifle. And by noon the balloon was back in the skies. Shot Daring Noise But at 12:14 p. m. a Pennsylvania railroad train thundered by. Almost immediately the bag began to empty and Ebe hauled it down to find that, under cover of the noise of the train, his foes had put two more punctures in the balloon. Weil, the same thing happened during Saturday night and Lindenites on thelt way to church Sunday saw one of the most anaemic spheres that ever dripped hydrogen rfom the bullet holes. That didn’t do the editor any good, he figured, so he patched it up again. Here let Kempson tell his troubles: “And when I came to work today it was shot full of holes, twentyeight of them,” he said. “I don’t think the police are trying to solve this case.” “From now on,” he said, “I’m only going to put up the bag in the daytime on days when it’s not windy. It hasn’t been punctured except when the wind brought it close to the ground. Anderson Takes Census Em Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., May 27.—This city is taking its own census. Emory W. Jackson is in charge of a bureau ordered established at the city hall by Mayor J. H. Mellett, and all city employes have been assigned to certain sections to count the population during spare time.
