TAKES EMPHATIC STAND FORWATSON lalls on Voters of the Sixth District to Return "Whip" to Congress by Overwhelming Majority. iXPLAINS SPEECH MADE IN RICHMOND COLISEUM egrets that His Failure to 'Stoop to Personalities Should be Misconstrued for Political Capital. Because his speech at the Coliseum recently was unjustly misconstrued Tor political purposes, the Palladium sent a telegram to Senator Beveridge, asking that he make plain his attitude toward Congressman Watson and his candidacy for re-election to the National House. A reply quickly came and its reproduction on this page will plainly show to all that Senlator Beveridge is heart and soul for Congressman Watson. He makes no attempt to hide it, nor does he mince his words. He appeals to the voters of the Sixth District to elect Congressman Watson. He does not ask that a Republican house be elected to help President Roosevelt. He asks that James E. Watson be elected. Not James E. Watson becauso he hap pens to belong to the same party as the Senator, but James E. Watson because he has been tried and found I to be capable and honest. It is to be regretted that such cir cumstances should arise that the Pal ladium should be called on to ask Senator Beveridge for such an expression. It would not have been it tnere had not been a misguided force in Wayne County. Because Senator Beveridge did not stop to indulge in mere personalities and spoke on the plan of principles, the Item could not comprehend his words and tried to falsify and twist them into doing in jury to a representative who has truly placed this district on the political map of the country. The Item has always claimed to adore Senator Beveridge and though it is to be marvelled that the Item adores anyone, there is every reason why Senator Beveridge should receive nothing but loyal support from every person who stands for the best In government and approves the work of President Roosevelt. The Item's reception of Senator Beveridge's words is awaited with interest. True to its course in the past the Item will probably new seek to tear down the character of the man who sent the message. But enough of that. The message tells it's own story. HAGERST0WN YOUNG MEN TO START SKATING RINK Hagerstown, Ind.. Nov. 5. (Spl.)

NO ONE PUNISHED YET Governor Andrew Does Not Think Earlham Students Are Sore at the Authorities. Governor Andrew, in charge of the boys' dormitory at Earlham stated last night that although the faculty looked down on such pranks as was ilayed Saturday night when President Kelly was hanged in effigy, that no action had been taken to punish any cf the students for it. The faculty has not investigated the "affair he said and did not know whether it was done by a set or domitory students or by day students.

ORDINANCE PASSED BY CITY COUNCIL OVER MAYOR'SVETO Appropriation of $6,000 to the Reid Memorial Hospital is Authorized and Matter Will Go to Courts.
MAYOR WILL ORDER THE CONTROLLER NOT TO PAY Councilmen Express Themselves as Not Wanting to do Anything Illegal, but They Want to Support Hospital. Ily the unanimous vote of its ten members, the city tcouncil of Richmond last night passed the appropriation ordinance which included or.o item giving $6,000 to Reid Memorial Hospital. This specific appropriation had met with the disapproval of Mayor Schillinger, who had exercised his veto power in regard to it, and council, as had been anticipated, promptly passed the measure over his head. The matter was disposed of In very shortlorder, the debate occupying but little time. - When Clerk Taggart called up the ordinance, Councilman Henry Dcuker from the Second Ward, made a motion that the veto of the mayor be not sustained. Councilman Will IJartoI offered a second to the motion. Mayor Schillinger at this juncture said: "Gentlemen of the council, you can pass this hospital appropriation over my veto if you desire. I do not care. My duty will be to ordar the city controller not to pay the amount. In this matter I do not consider my likes or dislikes a particly . They ought not and are not to enter into such an important matter. When I took the oath of office as mayor of Richmond I declared that I would uphold the laws of the Stato of Indiana. The appropriating of money to Reid Memorial Hospital under existing laws is a clear violation of them. That is all there is to it. If the courts uphold the action of the council, if the appropriation is voted, well and good." Study Declares It Illegal. City Attorney. Study also added to his past declarations regarding the alleged illegality of the procedure. He said he had no doubt in the' world that a city hospital was a good th'ng and that Richmond needed such an Institution, but he believed. In fact, he was positive, he said, that the statute 4 would not permit of such an appropriation. On the call for a vote on the motion Councilman Deuker, before declaring himself to be in favor of the motion which he himself had niade, said that he did not wish to vote for 'anything (Continued to Page Eight) Successful Operation.
