THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AJSO SUN-TELEGRAM, WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 1913

CITY PRIMARY ON Hi INDIANAPOLIS

Largest Field of Aspirants That Has Ever Sought Mayoralty (National New Association) INDIANAPOLIS, May 21. With the nomination for the mayorality of Indianapolis a job that pays $7,000 annually and sometimes leads to the vaudeville stage--the-biggest plum in night, primary elections -were in progress here today with the largest field of aspirants that has ever Bought honor at the hands of the. plain people. No fewer than ten full-fieged, active candidates comprise the list of entries for honor of representing one of the three great political parties which have a recognized chance of landing the title of "His Honor, the Mayor of Indianapolis," and incidentally the aforesaid $7,000 yearly wage. These include four adherents of the Democratic faith: John W. Holtzman, lawyer and former mayor for one term, reported to be the first choice of the Indianapolis News, a newspaper of tremendous influence in matters political ; JoesphT E. Bell, a lawyer, openly supported by Thomas Taggart, the duly recognized "man behind the gun" when Democratic regularity held full sway in days of yore; John J. Keegan, prominent labor leader one of the men behind the gun in the organized labor movement, and a practical machinist with a punch in either hand and a kick in either foot when battles for legislation for wageworkers are fought; and Thomas S. Meeker, hotel proprietor and successful business man with an anti-machine , political label. . . ... The Progressives make their debut In the municipal arena with three entries who lack experience in political campaigning, but bid for support on a more or less non-partisan plea for clean, businesslike administrations, without having indulged in any mud clinging on the stump. They are Dr. .William H. Johnson, of Brightwood, a suburb; William D. Headrick, lawyer, and William K. Stewart, retail book and ' stationery merchant and a keen student of municipal and sociological questions. The Republican party presents to the voters Charles A. Bookwalter, formerly mayor for two terms, now proprietor of a printing establishment; Albert H. Uhl, real estate and insurance man, and William H. Woods, a lawyer, professing strong anti-machine proclivities. For city police judge the Democrats tenter number five; Progressives two, and Republicans two. Eight Democrats aspire to clinch the nomination for city clerk, while three Progressives and and two Republicans are running. For a chance to' become candidates for membership In the ' city council, where the most important business of the city is transacted, the contest is even more vigorously waged. In some .districts one party emblem graces to top of a list of from half a dozen to a full dozen eligibles who-hare survived a strenuous campaign and in nearly every instance the list of Democrats numerically equals the combined numbed of Progressives and Republicans struggling for recognition. After the campaign- closed last night there was no political dopester in evidence who could fignfe out a walkover for any man with the exception of Frank Graham a tinsmith, whose name was the only one the Republicans presented in the Sixth councilmanic district. , A novel feature of the campaign consisted of the effort to put candidates on record on these questions: What is your business? - Are you directly or in- , directly connected . with wholesale or retail liquor business? Dou you own stock In public service corporations? Are you employed by any. public serv ice corporation? What is your attitude on telephone merger, gas merger and street railway problem? Obeyed the Dream. ' life la sometimes saved by dream 'warnings. Take the case of Dr. Harvey, the celebrated discoverer of the circulation of the blood. When he was a young man he set out from London to go to Padua, In Italy, the seat of the famous university where he wished to study. When he got to Dover the governor refused to let him enter his packet to cross the channel, but declined to give any. reason. The next day news arrived at Dover that the packet had been lost with every soul on board. Then the governor explained his strobge conduct. He said that he bad had a dream of overwhelming . force, in which he was forbidden to allow a young man, whose face appeared to him. to enter the boat. When Harvey presented himself the governor recognized the face seen in his dream. Dafliel O'Connell. After a dinner at Lord Dungarvan's, Lady Morgan writes in her diary: I met the redoubtable Dan O'Connell. Dan is not brilliant in private life, not even agreeable. He is mild, silent, un assuming, apparently absorbed and an utter stranger to the give and take charm of good society. I said so to Lord Clanricarde. who replied: "If you knew how I found him this morning! His hall, the very steps of his door, crowded with his clientele. He bad a word or a written order for each, then hurried off to the law courts, thence to the Improvement society and was v, the guest here today. Two hours before he was fuaking that clever but violent speech to Mr. la Touch, and now no wonder that he looks like an extinct volcano.' A Literary Cynic 'Some day," said the novelist. Tm going to write something big something that will make the world remem ber me." Ah. yes," his friend replied, 'but when are you going to do it?" Just as soon as I have turned out enough trash to make me independent-" Chicago Record-Herald,

RAP YANKEE DANCES English Women Up in Arms Against Them. . (National News Association) . , LONDON, May 21. Exclusive English society is becoming violently agitated over the Invasion of such American dances as the Turkey Trot, Tango, Bunny Hug, and Boston. A number of letters today were published in the press commenting upon a recent protest against the dances written by a peeress. Although for the most part the dances are condemned as degrading the ballroom, the new movements have found a few supporters among the "fast set." Aiice Countess of Strafford, in commenting upon the dances, says: "The so-called dances can only be compared to with the wild abandon and immoral frenzies of the ancient Bacchantic revels, although the modern versions are devoid of grace. If the movements of these new dances were traced to their origin it would ; be found that they owed it to the Corybantic revels of the Negro tribes. They have since those days developed in America in an atmosphere distinctly impure." Mrs. Humphrey (Madge), one of the best known woman writers in London, commenting upon the "Tango" says: "Girls who have learned to dance it in America perform it with a freedom of movement that suggests the ancient rites in the workshop of Bacchus. It is impossible to find words to describe the attitudes, gestures and Dostures with' which thpv mpasnre I and garbish their movements. As Times Change. "When a family seemed pinched in j circumstances the first thing we asked ! was whether a woman's husband plily-1 ed the horse races." "Yes," rgplied Miss Cayenne. "Now the first thing we ask is whether a man's wife plays bridge." Washington Star. EMMONS' TAILORING CO. ENLARGE THIER BUSINESS. Emmons Tailoring Co., have enlarged their business this spring.

PLAYING JOOD BALL Murray Team Able to Find the Sphere. Scouts for the big league baseball clubs would not be wasting time if they would drop into Richmond-and watch some of the players on semi professional teams. Richmond has several teams which are playing good ball, meeting the strongest semi-professional teams from various places in this section of Indiana. One of the noticeable features of the playing of local teams is the way in which they wield the stick. Last Sunday the Murrays were defeated at Anderson, but it was not because of their failure to secure hits. Stevenson, Niles, Haas and Johnson each made two-base hits. The Murrays played air-tight ball up to the sixth inning, when Gwynn weakened and allowed three hits, which, with four bad errors, gave Anderson six runs.

O. O. F. from any mail order house, agent, or any one whatever and any member purchasing one of these books is guilty of conduct unbecoming an Odd Fellow and the lodge of which he is a member tolerating the same is likewise-subject to a forfeiture of its charter- if such member is not expelled from its ranks."
