Will Reller the Only One So Far to Announce He Will Retire From the Republican Ticket.

(Continued from Page One) TV. K. Mason, candidate for joint representative, it is said, has fully decided what course to pursue, but will not give out a statement for a few days. Groves Won't Leave. Joseph Groves, of Dublin, nominated (by the Republicans for commissioner ifrom the western district, said today that he will remain on the Republican ticket. He said the Republicans put him on the county ticket, and he J believed it no more than fair that he remain. Mr. Groves was in Richmond llate this afternoon and gave Chairman iRobbins a statement. Dr. Pierce Silent. Dr. R. J. Pierce, county coroner, ! holding office by virtue of a Republican election and nominated for the ipost by that party last spring, paid today that he was not ready to make a statement regarding his intentions. Parsons la Waiting. B. F. Parsons, candidate for county iTecorder on the Republican ticket, said he would issue a statement next jweek. The statement of Nimrod Johnson, i candidate for treasurer, is appended: 'Will J. Robbins, Chairman Progressive County Com- ; mlttee. )TMy Dear Sir: At the Republican nominating election held in Wayne county last spring, ;I was a candidate for the nomination for county treasurer. After a spirited ; canvass into which I put considerable time and labor, I received the nomination over several excellent gentlemen who competed with me for it. I then supposed, of course, that I would receive the cordial support at the November election of all Republican voters. Indeed, it was the belief that I would have this, if nominated, which induced me to become a candidate at ithe primary. Since this primary was held, however, a split has occurred in the Republican party In the county, and a Progressive party has been organized. Its managers now propose to me that I shall withdraw from the Republican ticket as a candidate for county treasurer and become the candidate of

their party for the office. They say that If I decline to do this, they will nominate , some Progressive against me, and that the members of their

party will vote for him.

X v cu ivr ujl o upuoai vcs ful consideration and do not see how 1 can honorably accept it. I shall, therefore, remain upon the Republican ticket as a candidate for the office I ' seek, and support its candidates. Let me say, in conclusion, that it is not in my opinion a matter of great mo-' fluent to the electors of our county what is the politics of their next county treasurer. It is, however, a matter of vital importance to all of them that he shall be honest and competent and that he shall discharge his official duties faithfully. In this belief, I Shall, in the approaching canvass, appeal to all of the voters of Wayne ounty for their support, the Progressive voters Included. If they elect me, I shall feel grateful to them and do my best to make a good treasurer. If they defeat me, I .shall accept their verdict cheerfully md without complaint. Yours very truly, NIMROD JOHNSON.

LABOR LEADER COMPLIMENTS

ITS PEOPLE

In a striking editorial, W. C. De-

Miller, who has been in Richmond for several months preparing for the Btate meeting of the State Federation of Labor, which meets here September 24-26, lauds the city and calls attention to the harmonious attitude existing between labor and capital. This

is the first time in the history of the Btate federation that one of its representatives has lauded labor conditions in the manner in which DeMil-

ler has done.

The editorial is the leading article in a souvenir of the city, which the Richmond Central Labor Council will scatter broadcast through the state. All the delegates to the labor convention

will receive a copy of the souvenir, and business men say that the advertisement Richmond will receive from the book and from DeMiller's editorial will redound to the benefit of the whole community. The full text of the editorial follows: "Greetings, delegates and congratulations. Congratulations because this year you are holding your 28th annual convention in Richmond. It is your first visit to this city and we feel confident that you will be both pleased and agreeably surprised. "You are coming to an exceptional city a city with the peaceful atmosphere of a village, yet with gigantic industrial institutions worthy of a metropolis. "13 this not exceptional? Would not one ordinarily expect strife and

contention in a community whose in

dustries are the greatest of their kind in the world? "And yet this is termed the strikeless city a city where the employer and the employe have a good word to fcay for eacr other where all pull together and work together for the good name of their home city. "Richmond, called the strikeless city on account of its continual harmony; Richmond, called the "PanicProof City on account of its strong financial Institutions; Richmond called the Prosperous City on account of its continual outflow of product; Richmond, a city of broadminded union men and business men a city of beautiful homes, churches, shaded streets, a city of culture, and the home of a contented and peace-loving people.

"This then, ladies and gentlemen, is your meeting place for 1912. "Richmond's continued prosperity is due to the character of her industries. Manufacturing concerns, whose reputation for honest product extends around the world, are located here. The excellence of the output of these factories have given to this city a commercial prestige enjoyed by few communities in the United States. "Many people over the state of Indiana are unaware of the magnitude of the industries of this city for the reason that Richmond has nexer experienced a shallow boom. Her growth has not been of the mushroom order Richmond's growth has been slow, but steady and substantial yet ever onward. "During the convention last year at Evansville the delegates from Richmond, in asking for this year's meeting, said: 'Come next year to Richmond and we know that all our business men will unite with us in making your stay a pleasant one." "And now after nearly a year this

; proud boast has come true. The dele

gates knew whereof they spoke, for all of Richmond is waiting to welcome you. And it matters not in, what walk of life the trend the man of brawn

and skill within the union's ranks, or the man of wealth the delegates will

nna tnem courteous, nospnaDie, sociable ever ready to make your short sojourn an event to be long remembered. "And so, in the name of the Richmond Central Labor Council, the writer desires to thank the public spirited business men who have done so much to make this meeting an enjoyable one. Sincere thanks are also extended to the Item and the Palladium for the publicity which has been given the convention; also to Mr. Chas. W. Jordan for many courtesies extended in the name of the Richmond Commercial Club"A gentleman once left Richmond to establish a newspaper in another community and an Indianapolis newspaper, in welcoming the newcomer said: "Richmond is a mighty good place for a man to be able to say he comes from." "In conclusion, the writer desires tp add to this compliment by saying: "That Richmond is also a mighty good town for a man to be able to say he is going. "To To stay and live."

BEAUTIFUL PAINTING Just Completed for Masonic Lodge Room. " The scenic background recently completed by Mr. Charles Newcom, of Hagerstown, for the east wall of the Masonic lodge room, makes a gorgeous showing in its effective setting and with the perfectly arranged lighting. The motive of the picture is in that part of the story of Solomon in which

he is in consultation with the workmen who were building the Temple, and this has been well worked out by the artist. The painting is, primarily scenic, but it gives the effect of a great mural decoration, and in balance of composition is admirable. That the artist is an excellent draughtsman is shown in the fine drawing of the figures, which are grouped on either side of the passage to the throne, and while facial expression is a minor consideration, it is still not the least meritorious part

of the picture.

In color the painting is brilliant, although its harmonies are Bubdued to the proper values, the equilibrium being sustained by the long line of contrasting color in the center, on either side of which the figures are massed. The flesh tones are painted with consideration to the artificial lighting and are realistic. The architectural phases of the paiating, the scene being set in a portion of the Temple with its great pillars and depending draperies, are- dominant, but the composition is so well balanced that they merely sustain their proper relation to the composition as a whole and give the latter dignity. The painting, as a whole, is a handsome one and the artists, Newcom and Geisler, are to be congratulated upon their achievement.

Montezuma, Aztec King, Would Have Been Very Great Baseball Pitcher

Three baseball fans had settled down to comfort on the veranda of the Elks' clnb. Yesterday's games had been fully discussed and as the subject was dying one of the fans remarked casually, "Do you fellows know who first played ball in America?" "Sneak with that old story." came the sharp retort. "Every kid knows that the Indians used to play a game that resembled the national sport." '.'Not by a long shot," came the rejoinder of the member who wanted to spring a new one. The game was played in America long before the Indian came. Did you fellows ever hear of the Aztecs that had a great civilization in Mexico centuries before the Spaniard arrived in search of

gold?" "Well. If you didn't, here's where you will learn about the first game of baseball played in America." His listeners prepared to be bored by the recital. "The sort of ball these Aztecs played," continued the one who had been reading hictory, "was very popular with the public, even if it did not cost $1 to see a game. The kind of ball the Aztecs used was made of elastic rosin and some of gold." "Say that again," interrupted a doubting Thomas. "It's no lie, some of the balls they

batted around the lot were made of gold. The ancient game was called totoloque and was played on a court known as tlachco, not so large as the present day diamond. The players bad only a girdle around their bodies." "Keep it up," sounded the chorus. "There were pitchers, but no catchers and fielders were few. When pitched the ball was struck by an upward movement of the thigh or elbow, according to how it was aimed, high or low. After being struck the sphere in order to count, had to pass through a hole in one of the several

of the court." "The feat of scoring." commented a listener, "must have required a great deal of skill." The party greeted the sally with approval. "Agility was one of the prime requisites of an Aztec big leaguer," continued the narrator unabashed. "The prizes of the game were great. The visitors were often presented with jewels; fine cotton stuffs, feath

er work or plumes of great value." j "How about getting the hook now

and then?" queried one who had just , joined the group. "When did they use ithe golden balls?" asked another.

"Montezuma, the last emperor of the Aztecs, who was captured by the

Spaniards, specialised on them. It Is , said that the royal captive spent a (great deal of his time In prison practicing with golden balls. He even

challenged - the Spanish general to a contest." "And take it from me the Spanish general got the gold." parried one. "Those "yellow pills were thrown at targets of the same metal. Montezuma would have been a great pitcher had he lived a few centuries later.
