CRAWFORD'S REFUSAL CAUSES CLOSE RACE

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. May 23. The refusal of Earl Crawford of Milton, to accept the post of secretary of the Indiana Federation of farmers associations, resulted in a close contest between three nominees, necessitating a long period of ballotting, with the final election going to Perry Crane, a dairy farmer of Lebanon, Boone, county. , Crane was elected on the twenty-seventh ballot. Crawford had steadily maintained that he should not hold this post in addition to his position with the state highway commission, and his directorship of the state federation, and when votes were cast for him on the first ballot, at the recent meeting of the directorate, he left the room and refused to have any further part in th-3 proceedings. This was interpreted by

his supporters as a definite refusal, with the result mentioned above. There were 18 nominees, the decision lying between the new secretary, Russell East, of Shelbyville, and C. S. Masterson, of Greenfield.. The voting was very close between these three until support finally swung to Crane. Mr. Crane, while not so well known to the state at large as some others of the organization, is a prominent dairy farmer of his own region, and has a , good reputation for . ability among tbose who are acquainted with him. He lives near Lebanon, Boone county.

that the eighteenth amendment shall be enforced, under the provisions of the act, in the United States, its territories and possessions, it has been held that all legislation which is to be applicable to the Philippine Islands must specifically state that fact. The

i new Volstead bill provides for the ent forcement of prohibition in the United States, its territories, the Philippine

Islands and other insular possessions. Representative Dyer expressed the opinion that before congress made any effort to enforce - prohibition in the

Philippines the sentiment of the residents of the islands on prohibition should be first obtained by means of an election. Nicholson Speaks. Mr. Nicholson replied to Mr. Dyer by expressing the opinion that it was

probable the' Filipinos regarded , prohibition about the. same, way the majority of the people In New York, Chicago, St. Louis and. other large American cities did. prior to, the enactment of the. eighteenth amendment, and calling attention to the fact that the residents ; of . those , cities were

S. Edgar Nicholson, of Richmond, as chairman of the Friends committee on prohibition, appeared before the judiciary committee of the house last week and spoke in advocacy of the new

Volstead act, the purpose of which is j

I to broaden the powers of the original ,

Volstead prohibition enforcement act. Mr. Nicholson urged that the act provide for the enforcement of the prohibition amendment to the constitution in the Philippine Islands.
