BOTH PARTIES

WILL FIGHT DEMAGOGUE

Peculiar Spirit Spreading Over Soma Sections of Indiana TIMES EUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL INDIANAPOLIS. IND.. June v , Strong evidence that demagogic radi- j callsm will be the enemy both of the! rrajor political parties will have to; f.pht in the coining campaign is al-j ready manifest. The fame peculiar, M-irit, which first infected larger cit-j li. and resulted in such mayors as i Ilyland in New York. Thompson in! Chicago. Shank, in Indianapolis. a condition which students of political j hittory are trying to analyze. ap-j pears to he spreading over some sec-j tlons of Indiana. I That the radicals, or "home rulers" j as thty style themselves, are going j to make- a drive on the candidates j for the state legislature in an effort , to "line up nominee- on their side without regard to party affiliations, is shown in the announcement of W. W. Spencer, of Imuanapolis. democra- j tic nominee for state representative, i and present tpokesman for the "home rulers." Mr. Spencer says he is preparing a list of questions to be sent to all noimnees for the house and senate. RADICALS V70BBTIJK THEM To say that the radicals are not worrying the leaders in both parties would be stating an untruth. Following the democratic state convention, which through the efforts of Samuel M. Ralston, democratic nomii.ee for United States senator, and others affiliated with him. the radical ideas to some extent were kept out of their platform, a prominent republican declared privately that he was glad the 'democrats were "able to holu them down." This republican was not talking from a partisan point of view, because it would have been better for the republicans if the democrats had rxn hog wild in their platform. This would have served to align all the conservatives on the side of the G. O. r. His viewpoint was that radically mis gaining to such an extent that any attempt to curb it is best for all no matter where the pressure comes from. The following plausible creed Is being sent out by the "home rulers:" "The home rule, or local self government organization is not a third pa.ty scheme in any rense and there is no question involved except the one of a centralized high cost government.with high tax rates, in which those who supply the public funds hae no voice in either the tax rates or how tax money is to be expended, as aga.!nst a local, home rule government under which those who pay the taxes have a voice In public affairs." kesxscbx.es coaanrirxsM The political leaders in Indiana polis do not believe the "home rule"tf radicals are themselves advocates of sovietlsm, but at the same time. they point out, they make their ap-J peals in a manner resembling advocates of communism hoping to ensnare the unthinking mass and especially those who are distressed at the high tax rate now in effect gen erally throughout the state and na-l tion. i Before the campaign warms up the republicans Intend to take some of j the wird out of the sails of the home rulers by exposing their demagogic assertions that "centralized high cost government" results in high tax rate anl takes from the people a vol. in their local affairs. To begin with th home rulers are spreading the word that the "boards' and coviir.lssions" In tlje state house are responsible for high taxes. Ti e answer to this is simple. The bora is and commissions in the state house. w!h the exception of the rtate highway commission, which spend;! it money n improving local road, th offices of all the state officials.

Tho whole town -will soon be talking abou.t this value giving money raising sale, a sale with a punch, a sale for the people of the whole great big region.

RIDDLE SPEAKERS AT T Even the Eloquent Harry Darling is Floored by "Dead March." Give us a t-peech. make it a peach; Let t be brief brother, Let it be bright. But be a sport, and cut it short. Tomorrow I work I must sleep some tunight. The above was merely one' of a number of port songs that" the Kiwanians sang last night at the Valparaiso banquet to warn the speakers to "make it snappy." It was a daring speaker. Indeed, who weathered the sharp shooters. "Old man YVorden ain't what he used to be. ain't what he used to be, ain't what he used to be," sang the Valparaiso delegation when H. W. Worden, the LaPorte orator missed the bull3 eye. "Out the window you must go. you must pro, you must go." sang the Hammond delegation when Frank O'Rourke started out on , a long rtory. Harry Darling, editor and publisher of the LaPorte Argus, acting as toastmaer, came through with flying colors even though the LaPorte band did play the "Dead March" after his introductory remarks. A GAY AITAIS It was a gay affair this dinner of the Hammond. LaPorte, Michigan City and Gary Kiwanis clubs. There were between 150 and 200 KIwanians there in festive caps and with every known mechanical device that man's ingenuity has devised to torment after-dinner speakers. There were cow beils. whistles, cat-calls, drums, cymbals and other unidentified contraptions. Mayor Agar, of Valparaiso, made a speech in which he advocated that each Kiwanis club hold a Fourth of July celebration. In describing the various floats in the historical parade he suggested that there be schooner showing how the old settlers came to northern Indiana. The KIwanians approved of the idea of a cele-, bration. but "they seized on the schooner and rode it the rest of the evening. V. J. McAleer, of Hammond, made a rousing speech endorsing the schooner. Tim Galvin, Guy Osborn, Or. Douglass. T. R. Marine and C. H. Cole, of Valparaiso, the latter the poet of the University town, were on the program and went over the top under a heavy barrage for brief but peppery speeches,. Dr. H. H. Martin and GeorgeJ Geyer, of Hammond, made brave sortees tnto "NoMan's Land" with some measure of success. Eut nobody, not even Dr. "Sung. of Gary, was able to stand up under the fire for any Tength of time. One at a time they retreated to their dugouts to be given the chevron of extraordinary valor. It was a corking good dinner served in the big dining room of one of the University dormitories, and Valparaiso Kiwanians distinguished themselves by .their hospitality. There was so much fun' that at 11 o'clock when the party broke up it was' decided that the five Kiwanis clubs would hold a picnic at Waverly beach In the near future. George Wolf, of the 'Hammond Kiwanis club, needs a greal'deal of room In which to romp. The Hammond delegation numbered fifty Kiwanians. L MEETING HELD Bonds totaling $200,000 and Bearing 5 per 'cent Interest were sold last nlht at a called meeting of the school board to the Fletcher American ' Bank of Indianapolis. The sale price brought a premium of $3,300. Funds raised through sale of the bonds will bo used to finance construction of the new Lincoln school building, work on which has already progressed beyond stages of excavation. The building will be one story high and will include every modern feature of a school edifice. Considerable Interest has been excited among the parents of children attending Central school in regard to the appointment of the new school principal. Mothers, members of the P rent-Teachers Association, are asking a voice in the selection of the teacher they think best equipped to fill the vacancy. Acoordincr to Mr. Bomberger, of the school board, that body last nieht took no action on the appointment. "Selection cf the new principal will rest with the new school superintendent. Whatever he thinks best will meet the approval of the board," said Mr. Bomberger. Mr. Caldwell, the recently appointed superintendent, takes office July 1. In the meantime both parents and teachers are held in suspense awaiting choice of the appointee who is to hold the most important position in Central school. VASIL VUBENIR.

At the supper table last 'night, the girl said, she was refused a piece of meat. Then, according to her story, she calmly1 went upstairs to her father's bedroom, got his .SS calibre revolver, returned to the dining room and walked behind the parent and shot him through the head.

250 Will Lose in Store Failures

That at least 210 Lake county persons stand to lose close to $100 each as a result of the failure of the five branches of the National Stores Coin Hammond. East Chicago, Whjttlng and Gary is the belief expressed after a hurried Investigation made by Receiver Charles Surprise. The stockholders started their rush on the office of the receiver immediately after it was announced that a Chicago wholesale grocery firm had asked for a receiver in the Hammond superior court. Each day since then scores have visited his office and sought information. A crowd formed in front of the East Chicago etore and threatened to storm the doors and carry off enough merchandise to make good their losses on stock. However, they were quieted down and the dramatic action was not taken. One Hammond man holding three certificates in separate stores, insists he will push an investigation to find if there has been any crooked work in connection with the wrecking of the stores and that someone will go to the penitentiary if he has his way. It was the rule of the company that each stockholder was permitted to hold only one share of stock in any one store. Each store was to be capitalized at $10,000 or 100 shares at $100 each. Two of the stores, hewever, sold only 85 shares. Several changes of management have take nplace since the company first started operations in Indiana and it is believed that the original promoters have long since slipped" out of the organization. . Receiver Surprise now has the keys to the five stores and his representative, W. A. Kenney will start taking the inventories tomorrow. It Is ex pected that his report will show the stocks to be sadly depleted and run down. T COUPLE E COURT Commission Merchant Says His Home Life Is Impossible. Frank P. Christlanson. Crown Point commission merchant, says that the continuous tirade which his wife carried on all the time while he was home made life with her Impossible. He has filed suit for divorce in the Superior court at Hammond. Mr. Christianson says that after they were married in 1906 their home life was reasonably happy and contentud for a number of years until Mrs. Christlanson's father began to exercise his influence over her. Then she accused him of being worthless and ev.?n of being too Intimate with other women. She complained, he says, because he was not more successful In business. . This started along in 191S and continued until in 1920 when ne told her he couldn't stay around the house if she didn't let up on the abuse. In April, UIO, he went to South Bend and started In business. Before leaving Crown Point he arranged thlniirs so Mrs. Christianson should have full use of his property and access to a bank account. He hadn't been In South Bend long before his wife had him arrested on a charge of adultery and brought to Crown Point. There the case blew up and was dismissed by the Judge aer the prosecutor made a motion to nolle prosse- Mrs. Christianson still believed him guilty. She nold her husband bo. deleaving that his "Mns stuck out of his face and that he was discharged by virtue of some crooked work on the part of the officers of the court." Then Mrs. Christianson filed a suit for separate maintenance. Her husband agreed to pay her $4u . months and they have been living apart since then. Christianson charges that his wife had been carrying on a series of correspondence with a Mr. Miller In Hammond and that he learned of this only recently, Hs asks for a divorce and the custody" of their eight-year-old daughter.

WRATH OF PEOPLE IS GROWING

Public Sentiment Is Crystalizing in Times' Vice Drive DID THE GARY POST - TRIBUNE EVER HEAR OF THESE RESORTS? Times reporters last night visited the following disreputable places in Gary which cvioently enjoy "immunity" from molestation by the police, sheriff, federal officers and the Gary Post-Tribune: "The Metropolitan," Paulien Shultz. 1550 Jefferson st. House, of ill famj, gambling and Intoxicating liquors. "The Edelweiss." Jak Saultz, 1333 Washington st. The same as above. "Dolly's Place," near Saultz's. House of ill fame. Panama, 1901 Washington st. House of til fame, gambling and Intoxicating liquor. The Budapest, 132 Broadway. Gambling on a big scale. Nick Miskowlcz. 1229 Washington st. Blind pig. These places have been visited repeatedly by Times reporters In the current crusade on lawlessness and information regarding them has Jeen printed but they continue to operate as openly and flagrantly as ever. Public, sentiment is crystallizing throughout Lake county in support of The Times crusade against lawlessness. Scores of letters, telephone messages and personal visits from reputable citizen in all parts of the county have indicated in . the past twenty-four hours that the people are thoroughly aroused and that any further delay on the part of the police, sheriff and prohibition agents in closing up the Gary underworld will result In a duplication' of the Terre Haute scandal. ATTEMPT "WHITE-WASH" The Gary Post-Tribune fed fuel to the flames of public indignation last night when it printed a news article to the effect that the Gary police are doing all in their power to keep the city free from vice, gambling and liquort The "white-wash" was so preposterous on the face of it that It is doubtful whether it did not make matters even worse for the mayor. The Post-Tribune didn't even mention the slot machines, of which there ae 130 In conspicuous places in the city. ANNOUNCEMENT The Times will print In aU editions tomorrow the names of the property occopled by houses of ill fame, icambllnir dens and used t premlMes for the sale of lntoxleatlna; Manor In the city of Gary. The Times reporters have been invited through the columns of The Post to file affidavits in the Gary police court against dlvekeepers, gambling house proprietors and the blind pig keepers. But as events are rapidly shaping It is more likely that Federal Judge Anderson will issue a more urgent Invitation for this information. Two federal investigators are known to be In Lake county, drawn here by the first shot fired by The Times In tts crusade. While the vice-lords of Gary may have the brveking of the political powers of the county. The Times is fast gaining the support of a great majority of the voters and it feels confident that it will be the victor In the fight for decency and the enforcement of law. The ugly visage of vice cannot stand the white heat of publicity. Despite the effort made by the dive-keepers and their protectors to Impugn the motives of The Times, the paper is receiving encouragement on all sides. This Is not the first fight The Times has ever waged on vice in Gary. It fought victoriously during the Knotts' regime when conditions were nearly as bad As they are at present and It took the lead in driving the dives from West Hammond dunnar the days of Virginia Brooks, the crusader. Following is one of the many letters received by this paper the past few days. Indicating that It has the backing of the good people of the county: ' Shelby, Jnne 7th, 1VX3. The Times Newspapers. Gentlemen i Please accept hearty romraendat'ons for the honest and fearleMt manner In which you are exposing the ret- . ten conditions and the Inexcusable laxity of elected nnd dnly accredited officials in enforcing the laws In onr county.

LICE ARE I Police Officers Kirrin and Budich received serious knife wounds late last night when they attempted to raid the home of Andrew Haragaley. at 3940 Deodar st., Indiana Harbor. Standing at the entrance of his home, Haragaley flashed a dangerous looking butcher knife and defied the officers to enter his home, warrant or no warrant. He mumbled something to the effect that ' every man's housj is his castle and the king himself may not enter therein without permission." In the background the officers could see the family seated around the tabla leisurely sipping their drinks and apparently unconcerned by the visit of. the blue coats. Anj gered by such law defiance the offi E. Some very startling results are evealed in the report of Chief of Police Christ C. Struss of arrests made and illicit liquor confiscated by the East Chicago police department in this district since the inception of the present administration on January 2nd. During this five month period of concerted raiding, 300 arrests have been made, 1.500 gallons of "moonshine" whiskey and 115 stills confiscated. Included in this list of illicit material was 20,000 gallons of mash destroyed. Comparing the 1922 report with the corresponding period in 1921 there is found less than 50 arrests made for violation of the liquor law. it Is needless to say why the wide variation of arrests. Incidentally it might be added that the "put and take" system of years ago has 'been abandoned and a clean plan of niunictpal government adopted that will rival any other second flag city In the coun FTTa rLATEST (BTLLETIN) INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE BELFAST, June 9.
