In the petition for a recount of the ballots east at the Special Election July 22nd, 1919, a hearing was Lad and deteimined hy Couit that acocuialssiou of three men be appointed ty tha Court to make such recount. Tha judge of the court appointed George M . Crist, K. P. Trapp and Shepherd Whileomb as members of this commission, County Clerk, Clifford II. Long by virtue of his office i-3 the Cieik of this commission. This commission assmbted 9tti at 9 a in. iu the office of the Clerk and at that time the Clerk, Cliilcrd II. Locg refused to act and the result ia thia cooimisaoQ is still in session. Mr. Long informed thia commission that he had been legally advised to iefus.e to assist iu counting the ballots at this time, this refusal will lead into ether legal actions that will determine whether this Clerk acted according to law or not.

The action of the Clerk aud the detetmination of the North Vernon Removals ring not to allow the b&llota recounted ifi almost convincing evidence of an unfair election; that coruption exists in the ballots, if the removalist were kiite this did not exist any tax payer knows they would be the iii&t to ask that the ballots be tfooe o?tr by good reliable men to establish the fact

thev had honorably won the election Will they say that George M. Crist, E P. Trapp and Shepherd Whileomb

would not give them a fair deal? This

is all they can bay. It is a shame

when Jennings County has to be givt-n

auch a reputation as will Le spread

broad cast over the State of Indiana.

The North Vernon Removahsu can

furnish no excuse for not wanting a recount other thau they did not get to pick the men and one knows that if this right was given them they would not be atje to select better men lt.au Judge Carney selected.

Ir. Lonij vsa-i not csSted, by the

Coiiimissioii to "surrender the baliotW to them, ha &s the clerk of the Commission

would ba in posession of the ballots, besides this Clerk was given men to

guard this commission and the ballots

while the iecount was made just why

he objected to this remains to be solved.

The tax pajera cf ihe 11 townships

have uuited in a demand that the re

sults of this Special election be ex

amined in a fair and honorable w ay, this tight should not be denied. These Few Hemovalists Ringstere will wake np to the fact that it is not Vernon that la after them this time; they will find that at least 75 per c ent of the tax payers of Jennings County are behind the job.

Monday, a delegation composed of citizens from Dupont, Vernon, North Vernon, fScipio, Lliz&bethtown and Columbus were before the State Highway Comission as well a b?fore Governor Goodrich showiog good reasons why the State Highway should not branch oft at Columbus following the old State road fromColumbus, through Elizafaethtown, Scipio, Queeneville, North Vernon, Vernon, near Grajford, Champion, Dupont, Wirt, North Madison and Madison. This delegation met iu the office of

William Guthrie cf Dupont and Indi

anapolis Mr. Guthrie's office i j in the

Terminal Traction Building. Mr. Guthrie acted as Chairman. At his office it was decided that Messrs. Geo. M. Crist of Grayford William Springer of Elisabethtown an i Orville Platter of North Veruou would present the cause to the State Highway Commission and to Governor Goodrich. Mr. Platter read statistics showing the large population that this road would serve Gcod forceful speeches were made by bath Mr. Crist and Mr. Springer showing the important reasons why the'State road from Columbus, should be made part of the State Highway system. It was pointed out that this road was one of the principally travelled roads of Indiana, also that Madison on the Ohio was the neaiest point ou the Ohio river to Indianapolis and to Chicago, 111., and route over the old state road through Vernon and the other points mention

ed is the nearest and best route. Also it is important that Madison be easily leached from every direction tince one of Indiana1 fllate lustitutiots, the Southeastern Insane Asylum is located there. Tho-k interested are not wishing or tiying to' tafee any other route away from Hipley or Scot counties, but are after an independent and a

new additional road, The roads heretofore out ined hy the Commission for the State aa well as this part of the state reaches almost every section, and with this state road from Columbus to Madison made part of this state highway system, southeastern . Indiana

wui pioaper as i.evct baiore,' cd by her prosperity, many times repay the state tor the maintaining and building of thete state highway roads. The question of where Jennings county seat is loeatei has nothing to do with Jdie establishing of the sthte road in Jennings eouuly as a state highway, as Mr. George Critt told to the State Highway Commission, the road extends through both Vernon and North Vernon.
