POINT ’EM OUT, FUSSY-FOOT

Who Is the LM'niocrtU, and Which Hiul the Two Sons? Pussy-foot Looey r y» that The Dx . acrat’s statement in reference te the partisian committee appointed to go to Indianapolis last January to the welcome home of two Indiana units of soldiers is not trae; that “two members of the committee had sons in the service and one had two sons. There were only four men appointed, the only democrat named did not go." We copy from the Republican of January 10, 1919, the Hollowing in reference to the appointment of this committee: “The committe from here are Mayor C. G. Spitler, J. J. Montgomery, Harry Parker, J. H. Chapman and L. H. Hamilton.” As tfhe four latter, it is inferred, coastibuted the four appointive members of the committee. It would be interesting to know wherein The Democrat lied. .’Understand, the mayor was not a member of the local committee by appointment of himself, but the four last named by the Republican constituted the locally appointed committee. The mayors of all the cities of the state were appointed by the governor. Will Looey now deny his own statement, made at the time this committee was named?
