When confronted with this accusation Boyd declared that it was Braffett, not himself,1 who had attested xat. be was a "scientific farmer. Boyd said he had merely represented himself to be a farmer."

SECTION 10 OF PRIfW LAW CONTAINS PERPLEXING POINTS

BALLINGER WIN,'; SOCIALIST DEBATE

"Resolved that Socialist Party control of the Federal Government would be a good thing for this country" was the subject of a hotly contested debate in the high school library last night. The affirmative was ajwarded the decision by the judges. I The affirmative was taken by Verlon Ballinger, a strong advocate of Socialism and the negative by Ralph Nicholson. ) Mr. Ballinger showed the source of Socialism, how it woultl stamp out capitalism and give the 'working man a square deal and a fair- wuge. Mr. Nicholson on the negative, however, took a different angle and proceeded to show how impossible it would be to put Socialistic principles into use. The discussion club has had some very interesting debates on different current subjects. At the next meeting in two weeks several topics will be discussed. Among them is the question "Js Woodrow Wilson the ;reate6t man In the United States.' flhea Swisher will speak on this tipic. Mica . deposits .sufficiently large to Sevelop exist in twenty states.

There are 1,400,000 cattle in Ceylon.

. Adopting children is fast becoming a fad among the wealth. The adoption of a boy by Mr. and Mrs. Finley Shepard brought to light the fact that many other wealthy couples have taken homeless waifs to rear.

The Indiana Time,7 editorially, has the following to say regarding Section 10 of the primary law: . Indiana Republicans confine themselves, to a suit to do-; e way with one section of the: Indiana primary law, their objection being not against the law, but against section 10 only. This section provides that where a voter appears and offers to take part in the primary of the Democrats, the Republicans, or the Progressives, he may be challenged by any qualified legal voter of his precinct, and thereafter, before being permitted to vote as he desires to vote, he must swear he voted in 1914 for a majority of the candidates of the party with which he seeks to affiliate at the primary. Also, he must swear he Intends voting for the nominees of the party with which he seeks to vote at the primary. The obvious intent of section 10 was to prevent the invasion of party primaries by men of other parties. For example, a party having no contests on for nominations, might conceivably send its voters into a rival party's primary and vote on its rival's ticket the weakest candidate to be had, thus strengthening its own ticket. In a former Indiana primary law there was a provision similar to that provided in section 10 of the present law, and the method was employed for many years, though as a matter of fact the section was not called into use, so far as anybody recalls. The presence of the provision, however, possibly prevented ' attempts ' by any party to overrun rival party primaries. Rigidly followed, section 10 of the present primary law, apparently being carelessly written, might be used to

prevent new voters from taking part

In party primaries. For obviously the first voter of 1916 did not vote for a majority of the candidates of any party in 1914. Voters coming in from out of the state or moving from county to county, though legally qualified voters, might be barred from taking part in party primaries under section 10, for they could not swear they voted In 1914 for a majority of the candidates of the party with which they seek to affiliate. Yet these voters are not provided for, and it is obvious they can not properly or legally or constitutionally be barred from participation in primaries, unless it be held the primary is not an election.. In that event, apparently, party rules would govern rather than statutory provision. Republicans are concerned because, as they say, section 10 of the primary law tends to prevent returned Progressives or new recruits to the Republican ranks from taking part in the Republican organization primary and in the making of Republican party nominations. Another class of voters is affected by section 10. In Marion county, particularly, as shown by the 1914 returns, a large body of Demorcats voted for

Republican candidates. These Demo

crats, many of them, no doubt will wish to take part in the Democratic organization primary and in the nomination of Democratic candidates in 1916. They can be barred from par

ticipation under section 10, for, they may iot be able "to swear, - if challenged, that they voted for a majority of the Democratic candidates in 1914. Unquestionably the use of section 10 by the Democratic state organization, through its challengers, might prevent a large element from participating in the Democratic reorganization primary next spring, and might work for the triumph of the existing organization In Marlon county and Indianapolis for the city organization is to be made at the same time the county organization is completed, under the primary law. So Republicans and returning Progressives are not the only voters interested in the probable effect of section 10 ofathe primary law. RED MEN TO SMOKE

A series of county meetings arranged to increase interest in the Red Men's order will begin Thursday night when the Osceola tribe gives r. smoker for Great Sachem McConaugby. Lodges at Fountain City, Hagerstown, Cambridge City and Centerville will be represented. Informal talks will be made by the great sachem and other grand officers who will accompany him from Indianapolis. When and where the other meetings of the county series will be held has not been decided but the smoker tomorrow night will definitely open a campaign to increase the membership of I. O. R. M. lodges in Wayne county.

WANTON SLAUGHTER AROUSES WARDEN'S VIGOROUS PROTEST

According to a state game warden there are more hunting parties out of Richmond than from any other place in Wayne county and in proportion they bring in more game than all the other towns combined. As there is a state law forbidding hunters to give away what they kill the wardens are wondering what becomes of all the squirrels and birds. One hunter got 76 squirrels 'the other day and the warden said that he did not talnk be had a family big enough to eat ail of them unless he controlled a cold storage plant and could keep them for an indefinite period. - Wanton slaughter of game is killing the sport. Wayne county a few years ago fur

nished great sport for hunters who were after birds bat now it to herd to find any at all. There Is little brash here and the birds have been frozen out.. They have. few. places in' which to raise their ; young and" as "ft ebnee-. quence have migrated lo other territory. - .- :" , : Since the first day of November the" warden said more than a thousand men from Richmond had been in the fields and that all of them had returned with more than they could use and that it the present condition continued there would be little hunting'- In Wayne county in the next few years.
