WABASH COUNTY THREW SUPPORT TO NOMINEE. Good's Candidacy for Congress Has Not Been One Strewn With Roses Money Said to Have Been Used. Marion, lml.. March 11. Dr. Charles 31. Good, of lliiminpioii county, was Humiliated tor eonuress by (ho republicans oi the Kleveuih district Inst liilir on tin- six hundred and tenth ballot, receiving fit Vi votes to .".1U for Colonel (icor'o IS. Lock wood. The ice was broken when the Wabash county delegation, headed by "Warren G. Sayre, the veteran legislator, who is known as the "Watchdog jf the state treasury." announced that Wabash gave Good 1 1 votes and aoiuinpted him. The announcement of the result v as followed by pandemonium. Good's faithful friends cochi noi, lie restrained. The nervc-iaeimiK experience of Tin hours' continuous balloting was forgotten in the lninhiy cheers they sent, up as he was litl'd high upon a table, vhere the convention could get a line cm him. The ovation lasted several minutes. indieatiiiK that the result. t?truck a popular chord. Hefore Chairman William Amsden announced the result of the vote Col. Lock wood made his way to the stage. Jlayor Joseph Murphy, the Wabash candidate, also pressed forward, and vas recognized Immediately by Chairman Amsden. In a brief speech Mayor Murphy thanked his loyal followers for their Bupport. and moved that the nomination of Good be mad? unanimous. The appearance of Colonel Lockvood was the signal for another ovalion. He declared that he is a republican, and that he is ready to abide by the action of the convention and to go to work for the election of Good. Urge Election of Gqpd. In a voice in which deep emotion ivas expressed he extended his thanks o his followers for their vigorous light in his behalf. He said that the campaign had been replete with valuable experiences for him. He urged Jils followers to show their appreciation of him by working untiringly for the election of Good. He predicted that the district will be redeemed by the republicans. Gus S. Condo. of Marion, and C. A. Iteeves thanked the convention for its support and declared that the republicans will line up behind Good and carry the district. Thos. Tharp. another Marion candidate, made a similar speech. When Good was introduced as the nominee the pent-up feeling of his followers was turned loose. They had Tvorke'd for years in his behalf. Good was a candidate for congress 3 4 years ago, at Hartford City, but vas defeated by Major Steele. He was ft candidate again in the famous convention that nominated Fred Landis Hie first time. He was a candidate two years ago. His political path has been strewn with tliorns, but Good has always come up from defeat smiling:. His followers say that the Good smile lias never been dimmed by any defeat, which they assert, accounts for the strong sentiment favorable to him. Good's brief speech, thanking the convention for the nomination, and Ms eulogy of the loyalty and devotion of his friends, resulted in another ovation for him. Before the adjournment. Chairman Amsdeu introduced Sayre. who made a plea for party harmony. Wabash Gets Restless. That the end of the convention was near was apparent at 6: ,10, when Wabash county showed a desire to break. 1oekwood's friends had expected at least eight votes from Wabash. Good had counted on l:?. The result showed that his calculations were correct, both as to Wabiish and Wackford counties. The latter gave him 6 to 1 for Lock wood on several of the ballots near the tinish. When it became known that Wabash was about to break Cass county came to the front with two more votes for Lock wood, making his total 17. and also making pood the predictions of the anti-Laii-dis men there that they had that number of votes. IxH-kwood's failure, however, was due to the lack of votes in Wabash county. After the other counties had cast their vote Sayre was lifted to a chair and in a clear voice he declared that Waliash gave Good 11 and the nomination.

Jackson says that under no circumstances will the order of nomination be reversed. Mr. Kuhn has been making a tour of the southern part of the state in search of delegates to the state convention.

LHAM LOST TWICE IN DEBATE Both Butler and Wabash Colleges Won Forensical Battle Last Night. BUTLER WAS STRONG. ARGUMENTS WERE FORCEFUL AND SPEECHES WERE ORATIONS IN THEMSELVES, SAID JUDGE WOODBURN. In the triangular debates held at Karlham. at Butler and at Wabash last night, the two Karlham teams were defeated. In the debate held at Earlharn. in which the Butler affirmative team met the Earlham negative, an unanimous decision was accorded the Butlerites. Each member of the Butler squad had his subject well iihand, and the fluency of each man's argument was responsible for their victory. Butler Praised. Prof. James A. WtHtdburii of Indiana university, one of the judges of the evening, stated that the arguments of each one of the Butler men was an oration in itself, well balanced. finished and convincing. On the other hand the members of the Earlham team talked in a loose, disconnected manner, stammering so in places that the audience lost the thought. In addition to this, many arguments presented were completely disproved by the team from Butler. The Earlham affirmative team was the better o fthe two. coming off successful in the several debates that have been held at Earlham as preliminaries to this final effoit. Professor Harlow Lindley. who heard the teams debate, at the college on Thursday evening, stated that he had never heard any team debate in so organized a manner as did the affirmative team. In the debate at Wabash college last night, but one of the judges stood by the Quakers, the other two giving the Wabash team the victory. Prof. Irueblood. who has coached and trained both teams, and accompanied the boys to Crawt'ordsville. feels the defeat and is at a loss to account. for the reason. The Earlham team was composed of S. E. Farquhar. Jearly J. Nenham and an composed the Butler team. Ray K. Shlveley of Richmond acted as moderator and the judges were Prof. James A. Woodburn. Indianapolis University: Dean William P.

Local Management of Central Union Apprised That Company Will Put Wjres in Underground System.

EVERY REASON WHY COM PANY SHOULD COMPLY. The Recent Ordinance Is a Victory for the Bell People, As They Go Underground With an Open Franchise. Manager Mutton of the local Central Union Telephone company, today re ceived news from Supcrititenduu Cline of Indianapolis, that the Central Lnioti has decided to accept without further opposition the Main street pole ordinance recently passed by the cit council and that a large consignment of conduits had been shipped to Rich mond. These will arrive Monday and will be stored for the present on vacant lots. There is much preliminary work to be done before the workmen begin excavations on Main street. The last ordinance provides that all work must be done under the supervision and with the approval of the city council. Superintendent Cline liimstlf. will arrive in the city soon and will go before the board of public works with his plans. If all goes well the Central Fnion hopes to have its work under way by the middle of April. Victory for Bell. That the Central Union should comply with the last ordinance was to be expected, for that document was Ui all essentials a victory for the Bell people. It will be recalled that the first telephone ordinance passed in 15KK5, carried with it a maximum rate clause. This provision did not look good to the Central Union with ' Its open, overhead franchise, and the company objected. The Home Telephone company, promptly accepted the ordinance and its wires now rest peacefully in conduits laid in the alleys north of Main street. The Bell peuple did not comply and some weeks ago the city council passed the present pole ordinance, compelling the removal of all poles from Main street. Also stating that till wires should go underground. After some delay, Mayor Sihlllinger signed the ordinance. Sifted down, the ordinance means simply that the Central union transfers its open franchise overhead, to an open franchise underground. Others Under Too. The acceptance of the ordinance ty the Bell people also is taken to maii au acceptance by the Western Union and Postal Union telegraph companies. These coin panics have not enough wires to pay them to lay conduits, but they are willing to lease ducts in the Central Union conduits. This arrangement will no doubt be effected. The city fire alarm wires will also be placed in the low tension conduit of the Central Union people. If Superintendent Cline and the City council agree, there will be only one trench for conduits on Main street., On one side of the trench it is proposed to "-PratJ by a -wnt partition ' "lPh tension conduit, j In -Inch will re.-t the wire of the m, nhn. ,n,x th .tirhmnH T.i.h, Heat and Power company. This arrangement will be welcomed by nronj f.ny owners on Main street, who want j the poles removed as soon as possible. DRISCHEL WILL FILED FOR PROBATE Wife and Children Are Remembered.
