(By W. H. Blodgett, Staff Corres-1 pendent of Indianapolis News.) | against him by the attorneys for the

breweries and the saloons, he voted for temperance and for reform measures. And he was notifled that he could not go back to the Legislature

Putnam county is Democratic, so Democratic that only once in its history did a Republican get into office by election. Long years ago the Republicans elected a county commissioner, and once or twice since that time they have been able to cut down the Democratic plurality. Not only is the county of Putnam Democratic, but it is temperance Demoratic. The majority of the Democrats believe in obedience to laws, and also believe that the brewer and the saloon keeper ought to be compelled to keep out of politics. And the majority of the Democrats, the men in the trenches that the orators like to talk about, though they are not making any fuss over it, do not take much stock in the plank the Democrats put in their platform at the State convention. This plank, be it remembered, suggested a local option law, with the city ward and

township as the unit.

loon element, could call on responded. The next day came the primar-

ies.

Mr. Crawley has made vigorous denial that lie was brought out by the saloon interests, and probably that is true as far as ho is aware. Hut it is also true that the saloon keepers and the brewers united on him and worked for hia nomination, spent money for him and made him their candidate even without his knowledge and consent. This was a Democratic primary, understand. 'Uiere never has been known in this county such a bitter contest as vis waged against Mr. Hostetter by the saloons and' their brewery backers. It is not necessary to go into the details of that contest. It was he same old story of trying to win by every method know In corrupt nolit'es. And the result—Mr. Hostetler was renominated by a plurality of 254. He was defeated ni the pm of the city dominated by the saloons. He lost in that party of the county where the liquor element controlled. He won in the places .vhere the Democrats believed in

temperance and reform.

The saloon and brewery element never did get such a smash between the e.ves as they got at that primary. And then they said they would see that he was not elected. Lord bless their souls! Why, they have no more chance to defeat Hostetter next fall than they have to fly to the moon. He will be elected by the biggesc majority any man who had opposition ever got in this county.

The Indianapolis, Clove; i Re & Terre Haute Traction Company has Hied articles of incorporate!!! at the office of the Secretary of S ite. This company which is capitalized at $ 10,000, proposes to operate a traction line in territory between Indianapolis and Terre Haute, a large portion of which lias not been touched by rail transportation facilities. According to the articles of incorporation the company will operate a line In and through the following cities and towns: Indianapolis, West Newton, Mooresville. Gasburg, Monrovia, Hall, Eminence, Clovordale, Uolon, Asherville, Brail and Terre Haute. Gasburg, Monrovia, Hail and Eminence and surrounding territory have no rail transportation facilities at this time. The counties through which the new company proposes to operate a line are Marion Morgan, Putnam, Clay and Vigo. The directors are E. M. Bowman, H. T. Hutzc and Dennis Rutherford, all of Indianapolis.

If there should be an election to determine whether the First Ward should have saloons, the saloons would win, provided the voting was confined to the First Ward. Why? Because of the influence of the saloon and the backers of saloons, and because nearly all the “floaters" or purchasable element in Greencastle

a fight was started on him. The fight became so interesting that Mr. Hostetter announced that his platform was anti-saloon, the obedience to law, the abolition of the brewer as a political factor—in fact, he proposed to stand for temperance and reform legislation in the next House, and he served notice then and there on the liquor interests that they

cans cere who do not desire a candidate nominated against him. They say there is no use to nominate a man. Hostetter will be elected, and, besides, he stands for about everything the people of the county wish It may be that the Republicans will put. up a man just to fill in the ticket. They are talking about John L. Bridges. He, too, is a clean man and an advocate of temperance, but there is no chance to elect him. That is how the Democrats of I-utnam county resented the interference of brewers and saloon keepers In their political affairs and they are not well pleased with the statements attributed to Crawford Fnirbanks, of the Terre Haute Brewing Company, when he said at Danville M!s., that he had things fixed for the next Legislature—or words to that effect. They are going to send Mr. Hostetter to the House to do a litti'e

Put- [ nam county will stand solidly for Mr. Moore and the temperance Re- | publicans in Morgan county will j send some delegates who will vote j for Moore any time their votes are

needed.

Senator Moore is the author of the Moore remonstrance' law, he has fought the liquor element consistently in season and out of season.

Second District Democrats are in a muddle over the race between several candidates for congress. S. Paul Poynter of Sullivan is demanding that a new cal! for the election of delegates be issued. He says: “A meeting should be held and each county, including Lawrence county, should select delegates on the 25th of April in township mass conventions. except in Linton and Vincennes, where it is specified that the meetings shall lie held on the evening of April 2 4 for the convenience of their laboring men. It is asking much of Senator Davis to give up his thirteen delegates in Lawrence county for which he made a fight, but party interest is of greater importance than the personal interest of Mr. Davis or any other candidate There are many men in the Second District who are well qualified to serve the Democracy in Congress, but in order to elect any one of them it is necessary to convince the rank and file that they are being treated right. The voters are treated properly only when each and every one of them is given the assurance that he has his preference for men and measures registered in the Democratic party and his vote counts for just as much as the vote of any oth-

Rumor, which for several days

has been busv, was today confirmed by the announcement of the approaching marriage of Miss Lennie Burner, daughter of Mrs. F. M. Burner, and Mr. Erich Moraller to take place in Berlin, Germany, some time the last of May. The time can not be fixed definitely because the bride has yet to cross the ocean and half of Europe to reach Berlin, and time and tide, In such a journey, must be reckoned with. And then, when Beilin is reached, there are the German laws, bound in yards of red tape, that must he met and conquered. For all these reasons the day has not been set, but It will

be some time the last of May. Mr. Moraller has for nearly two

years, been engaged in Y. M. C. A. secretary work at St. Petersburg, Russia. Mr. Moraller and Miss Burner had contracted a DePauw case while both were students here, and had planned, after Mr. Moraller went to Russia, to be married next July. A few days ago, however, Miss Burner received a cablegram urging that she sail the first of May, or as near that date as possible. It Is

probable that she will do so. Miss Burner is one of the best

known of the recent graduates of DePauw. Her college record was
