YOU TELL ’EM, Mr. Davis. You talk like a square guy!
MAYBE THE GAS COMPANY expects the accumulation of cam
paign to keep us warm.
DOBS ANYONE expect that ruling of the city court that a man who
carries a pair of dice in his pocket keeps a gambling device to stand? N
APPARENTLY no one has the nerve to deny that free transportation
was furnished the faithful who visited Senator Harding’s front porch.
NEXT TIME THE MAYOR feels like making a trip, it is suggested that
he visit the south side market and see how the public appreciates the op
portunity of dealing with the producer.
ANNOUNCEMENT is made that Indiana will receive $2,687,053 from
the federal fund for road building. If someone will now come forth and
guarantee that this sum will be spent on the roads it may be possible In
the future to travel a smooth mile.

Pritchard Dodges
In an attempt to defend his indefensible laxity in reference to the pro
fessional bonding of police court defendants. Judge Walter Pritchard re
veals that he is thoroughly familiar with both the practices and the evils
resulting from the toleration of city administration bondsmen about the
city court. *
The Judge also discloses that the evil can not be continued without
the connivance of officials over whom he has direct control because they
are officers of his court >.
The only wonder is that the judge should confess such ability to con
trol the situation and continue to refrain from exercising the control which
is vested in his official position.
Judge Pritchard says:
“What the court should do, and what this court is trying to do, is to
prevent defendants at a time when they are frightened and fearful from
being ‘held up’ and robbed at the time of arrest, by exorbitant charges for
bonds.
“The evil of the bonding business of times past, consisted of an
iniquitous combination among a lawyer, a bondsman and the turnkeys.
Without the aid of the turnkeys the combination could not work.’’
Under the system now in vogue defendants are not prevented from
being held up and robbed at a time when they are frightened and fearful
by exorbitant charges for bonds as is attested by the large number of ad
ministration favorites who are growing rich at the expense of these un
fortunates.
The combinations of bondsmen, attorneys and turnkeys is working as
effectively a6 it ever did in times gone by as has been revealed by testi
mony before Judge Pritchard himself. /
The turnkeys are officers of the court and their connivance with the
bondsmen can be stopped whenever Judge Pritchard desires to stop it.
The judge’s insistence that persons who have knowledge of solicitation
of business by bondsmen or others in his behalf should make affidavit to
that effect before him is as farfetched as it is ancient. Such a plea has
always been the reliance of an official who does not himself desire to
do his duty.
The records of bonds are in the possession of the court The power
to order the prosecutor to file affidavits against offenders is inherent with
the court.
Such a prosecution can be started whenever the court desires without
the assistance of any one not connected with the court.
If Judge Pritchard really wishes to end professional bonding extortion
in the city court he will investigate the bonding of the Chinese who were
recently arrested and dismissed in his court.
It is currently rumored in the corridors of the building where he sits
that one of the pet bondsmen of the administration profited to the extent
of $l5O by these arrests and so far as has been disclosed there was no
other purpose in the arrests than to make such a profit possible.
City Planning
The idea back of the city planning campaign has merit.
It becomes especially noticeable when the numerous turns and jogs
in the streets about Indianapolis are considered. Without going into the
value of any special plan or method, as a municipality there is always the
wise admonition to prepare, in time of deliberation, for action in time of
need.
What will we do when the population of the city is doubled? No one
can say it will not double and the prospects are that it will. How. then,
can traffic reach the center of the city? What will care for double the
present traffic? The location of additional industries, the housing of more
people and the reservation of natural sites for parks and public buildings
present important questions now.
These questions will be doubly important when we have twice the
population. Besides, in beauty and in utility, the city as well as individ
uals must have an ideal to which they work.
Nor should it be overlooked that the sucoess of this city planning cam
paign is going to depend to no Bmall degree upon the care with which are
selected the men who will conduct it.
No one whose business or social relations are such as to Indicate
prejudice either for or against groups of interests that will be affected by
city planning should be permitted to reach a position in the compalgn
where his presence creates distrust.
No one should be depended upon for effort in this campaign who is not
capable and willing to work against many obstacles with sufficient per
sistency and ability to prevent the movement from collapsing through di
version of interests.
Unexposed
Announcement is now made by the gentlemen who generally announce
such things that William Johnson of Detroit and Frank Patterson of
Cleveland are to be returned from the penal farm for trial in the criminal
court on more serious charges than petit larceny, to which they pleaded
guilty by arrangements in the city court some time ago.
This return is brought about by the simple process of having the
governor remit the sentences imposed on them in the city court.
Asa result of the manipulation of the prosecution of these two men
by the local authorities they are now returned to the status of men accused
of a felony, after having pleaded guilty to a petit larceny charge based
on the issuance of fraudulent checks.
The presumption that they will be tried in the criminal court on a
charge of issuing fraudulent checks is created by the filing of affidavits
against them.
But no investigation of the “pull” that permitted them to enter pleas
of guilty in the city court has been made or is contemplated.
The influences that made it possible for Ihem to obtain the consent
of a prosecutor of this convenient arrangement by which they first escaped
trial on a more serious charge are unexpcsed.
Presumably these influences will not now forsake the two men.

National Chairman Reads Letter From
President of New J ersey Federation of
Liquor Interests Before Committee.
SUBPOENAES ISSUED FOR WET MEN
Epitome of First Day f s Hearing
CHICAGO, 'Aug. 31.—A vigorous
counterr thrust at Gov. James M.
Cox, democratic presidential nomi
nee, and at his party's alleged meth
ods of raising campaign funds,
coupled with a sweeping and em
phatic denial of ail Cox’s charges of
a $15,000,000 republican slush fund,
was the reply yesterday of Will 11.
Hays, chairman of the republican
national committee, to Cox’s attack.
Hays, appearing as the first wit
ness before the Kenyon senate com
mittee investigating campaign ex
penditures, divided his testimony in
two parts.
The first was a denial as emphatic
as Hays could make It of all Cox's
charges In general and in detail.
The second consisted of counter
charges against the democrats.
Hays charged:
That the liquor Interests of the
United States are backing Cox anil
Roosevelt and arc soliciting funds to
help elect them.
That the democrats created ma
chinery to collect a campaign fund
of $10,000,000.
(He did not charge that the ma
chinery functioned, but said it was
made ready to function.)
That the democrats has misused
their control of government offices In
Washington by sending through of
ficial channels “tons” of propaganda
CHICAGO, Aug. 31.—Organized liquor interests in the United States
have set out to elect Gov. Cox of Ohio president and are raising campaign
funds for the purpose, Will H. Hay< chairman of the republican national
committee, charged yesterday before tha United States senate subcom
mittee investigating expenditures.
Hays read into the record a letter written by George T. Carroll, presi
dent of the New Jersey federation of liquor interests, under date of July
22, 1920, asking for a contribution to help elect Cox and to keep the anti
saloon league out of power.
The letter called Cox’s nomination a "great victory for us.’’
The letter addressed to Cadtan Broth
ers, said:
“The organlxed liquor trade of New
Jersey has set out to do Its part toward
the election of James M. Cox as the
next president of the United States end
It becomes my duty to call upon yon to
help.
“More than that, we are going to fight
as we never fought fonght before to keep
a hireling of the Anti-Saloon league out
of office.
“The nomination of Gov. Cox of Ohio
for the presidency by the democrats la a
big victory for our Interests and It can
be attributed In a great degree to the
activities of onr trade organizations in
New Jersey and throughout the nation.
“Gov. Cox is a pronounced wet and
he can be relied" upon to approve an
amendment to the Volstead act.
"And it is now up to out trade organi
zation* to stand unitedly back of the
ticket of Cox and Roosevelt to roll up
such a majority as will show convinc
ingly that the public will be In our favor.
“This Is going to be the greatest po
litical tight in the history of the United
States.
“Money must be had Immediately if
we are to maintain our headquarters and
push the propaganda that is necessary.”
Hays also produced what he said was
an acknowledgement by I. N. Heller of
Newark, secretary of the New Jersey
federation of liquor Interests of a con
tribution of $123 to the democratic cam
paign fund.
Heller and Carroll Immediately were
jubpoenaerf by the committee.
Hays produced the letter and receipt
after haring charged that “certain in
teresta’’ were trying to help elect Cox.
He said he was willing to submit evi
dence eoncrnlng these lntersts.
“Submit it," said Senator Kenyon.
Hays then read the letter.
Hays declared with great emphasis in
response to queries by Senator Reed that
“there is not, never was and will not be
any arrangement or agreement with men
of large means to underwrite the cam
paign."
He also denied that'any corporations
had contributed to the G. O. P. and
said he had not heard of any promise*
of future favors in contributions.
Hays declared "this liquor business la
bad.”
“You ought to go into that."
“Gov. Cox’s charges are false in what
they say and libelous in their purpose,"
Hays declared when he took the stand
as tjte first wttness
Frederick Upham, treasurer of the na
tional committee, also was scheduled to
testify.
Hays, In a long prepared statement to
the committee, said the national commit
tee’s budget for the campaign for this
year called for $3,079,037.20.
“That sum, or approximately that,
will be raised and spent,” h said, “anil
not $15,000,000, as Gov. Cox charged.”
“The $3,000,000 does not include,” Hays
said, “collections for states where there
is a mutual agreement that such col
lections for state and national commit
tees shall be done Jointly.
“It 1* my opinion that the total amount
which has been and will be finally col
lected by the Joint money raising or
ganizations for the use of all state e*re
mittees In their state elections will/ap
ploxlmate $1,000,000.
“This Is no part of the national Com
mittee’s fund."
Taking up the various angles of Cox’*
charges. Hays said:

and have forced federal office holders
into contributing to the democratic
fund.
Hays gave detailed figures and in
formation on republican campaign
contributions and promised the com
mittee the names of all contributors
and the source of every dollar col
lected by or for the national com
mittee would be disclosed.
His figures showed a total fund
of $4,079,000 to be raised, of which
$3,079,000, he said was the national
committee’s budget and the other
million was an estimate of the sums
to be raised through “joint agree
ment” with certain states.
The million last referred to is not
part of the national committee
funds, he said, but is for use by
state organizations.
Hays clashed often with Senator
Reed, Missouri, democratic member
of the committee and Gov. Cox's
spokeman in the investigation. Reed
tried to keep out some of Hays’
testimony on the grounds that it was
hearsay.
He also sharply cross-examined
Hays as to his personal knowledge
of facts on which to base his count
er charges against the democrats.
Senator Kenyon, chairman of the
committee, announced that night ses
sions will be held In an effort to
finish the inquiry this week.
“Gov Cox has publicly charged:
“I. That certain interests were
banded together to buy the presi
dency and that millions had been
contributed to the republican party
with 'sinister intent,* That state
ment Is false.
“2. That there Is ‘a deliberate
plot that has been carried into
county in America In a conspiracy
to buy the presidency of the United
States.’ That statement is alao
false.
“3. That others are writing large
checks ao that their puppets can get
Into office and if there are industrial
controversies they can have the bay
onet to enforce their will. That
atatement is also false.
"4. That millions have been con
tributed by a corrupt source in fur
therance of a republican conspiracy
to buy an underhold on the presi
dency; that the republican funds not
a campaign fund, but a corrupting
fund, will not be less than $15,000,-
000. That statement Is also false.
“ft. That a. quota fixing assess
ments to be rais'd by certain cities
amounting to over $8,000,000 ‘was
adopted at a meeting of which Up
ham and T were present.* That
charge Is alao false.
“No such quotas were ever adopted at
such meeting or at any other time or
placp and no operation had under any
such quotas
“He has made other statements charg
ing a slurb, fund for corruption pur
poses, subscribed in the names of dummy
contributors, to be used to corrupt the
electorate.
“These statements are also false.
“I now say that each nnd all of these
several charges are absolutely false in
w-hat they say and libelous in their
purpose."
CHARGES MISUSE. OF
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.
Countering Cox's charges Hays assert
ed republican leaders have been advised
of the alleged misuse cf governmental
Instruments and functions by the demo
cratic organization for political pur
poses, sending out thousands of tohs of
propaganda by the democratic admin
istration during the paj>er shortage while
limiting the use of paper by the press,
and that a large part of It was demo
cratic political propaganda, all paid for
by taxpayers’ money, and were in
formed too that “the democratic com
mittee even resorted to drawing drafts
on bunkers In whoso bank* government
funds were deposited, wiring such bank
ers that, they had already drawn such
drafts.’’
Hays put Into the records articles
from leading democratic newspapers
telling of democratic plans to raise $lO,-
000,000 for the presidential campaign.
Republican fund raising activities, he
said, were Influenced by the reputed slz-'
of tlie democratic fund.
The republican plan for thm raising of
money through small contributions, Hays
said, grew out of two primary causes,
the real desire to work a real reform
ln the elimination of any possible im
proper obligation and out of the experi
ence tn connection with ruislng funds
for war purposes, these popular drives
having become familiar activities and it,
seemed possible at this time to under
take that kind of action by political or
ganization.
“We particularly hoped that thiy ac-

wifely feelings, but T realiaed -that Neal
was still sore from the rebuff Virginia
hau given him and 'but he would bo
frvghtfuilj* hurt by even the slightest
correction.
Presently Neal followed me into the
kitchen.
“Anything I can do, Babbs?” he
asked, with an entire lack of animation
that was no odder than his question.
Generally he plunged in and helped
without any direction from me.
“Don't bother if you’re *ired, dear.
I've nothing much to get I saved a few
sandwiches for yfu. and the rest of the
dinner's Just chops and carrots and
baked potatoes.’’
"I’d like something to do. I—l don't

then, suddenly, “Say, Babbs, .have you

“That’s funny, Neal 1 was going to
ask you about that. I've written twice

I've had only a couple of posfftls from
Father Andrew. I thought it was be
cause he was writing to you."
“I’ve hud exactly one Jettor from
father since I came,” Neal leplied, in a
voice that was almost husky.—Copyright

tivity would increase the political inter
est,” he said.
“It was then the purpose, and it has
been since, to endeavor to limit the con
tribution to a maximum of a thousand
dollars for any one year for any In
dividual, or a thousand dollars before
the nominating convention and a thou
sand after. •
“We have tried to adhere to that plan.”
GIVES ITEMS OF
BUDGET AS PLANNED.
After explaining the machinery
through which the plan was put Into ef
fect, Hays produced the $3,000,000 budgbt
he said had been- worked out.
It showed the division of the money
for the following purposes.
Speakers’ bureau, $255,100.
Headquarters expense Washington,
New York, Boston, Chicago, Denver and
San Francisco, $730,874.20.
Rents all headquarters, $1,346,500.
General expense, $680,920.
Hays next took up the alleged “quotas’’
which Cox charged had been levied for
states and cities.
“At different periods different quotas
have been suggested by the treasurer’s
office as tentative goals In different
states, and the .state committees them
selves have fixed different qfaotas,” he
said. /
“These are changing constantly, and
always, of course, were made very much
higher than the amount either necessary
or anticipated.
“The fact is the qnotas meant little.
“Furthermore, whatever may have been
suggested as quotas by over-zealous so
licitors In their enthusiasm In different
localities, the fact, remains that a cer
tain amount was believed necessary and
the budget above referred to was indi
cated therefor.
“There is actually a deficit in the re
publican treasury of $28,374.69,” Hays
said.
After the convention be said the net
balance in the hands of the national com
mittee was $196,621.27.
CAMPAIGN TREASURY
DEFICIT IS SHOWN
“Since the 1920 convention there has
been raised by the national committee
for Its own use $618,013.54. up to Aug.
,226, 1920.
“During this period there has been
raised by the states where we have ai
Joint working arrangement for their
own use, $399,241.78,” said Hays.
“There was on hand on Aug. 25, 1920,
in the national treasury, $155,125.31, and
we owe $460,000.
“This amouut has been borrowed In
order to anticipate expenditures.
“Os this we have loaned to the con
gressional campaign committee $188,500:

and state campaign committees. $38,000.
“From June 14 to Aug. 26, 1920, the na

“This leaves a deficit of $28,374.69 on j

“During this period from June 14, 1920,
to Aug. 26, 1929. there were 12.389 men
and women contributors to both the na

REED INSISTS ON
SHORN STATEMENTS.
Senator Roed, Missouri, democratic
member of the committee. Interrupted
Hays' statement when the G. O. P. chair
man began to read a newspaper article
telling of a meeting of th* democratic
executive committee at Atlantic City In
August, 1019. at which. It was stated, the
democratic leaders planned to raise a
fd0.000.000 fund.
Hays said he was reading the article
as a counter-charge ngaiust the demo
crats.
Senator Kenyon asked Hays to keep
away front that sort of evidence as much
as possible.
Reed Insisted Ihlt evidence should he
obtained only front sworn witnesses and
Senator Edge naked if he thought the
committee should call Gov. Cox.
“If any number of the committee
wants to call him. I’m not objecting,”
ISecd said. “But I don’t think It V,
necessary at this time.”
Roed asked Hays If be would charge,
under oath, that the democrats set out
to raise a fIO.fttO.OUO fund set forth In
three newspaper articles Hays read into
the evidence.
“I charge,” said Hays, “that amount
was set tip for the very purpose set out
in these articles"
Reed and Hays engaged tn a long
wrangle regarding the admissibility of
the articles as evidence.
Hays said lie way merely trying to
give the commlttee~" lead for Its In
vestigation of the democratic funds and
was permitted hy the committee to sub
mit the newspaper articles as that "lead.”
“I do not claim that the democrats
set out to raise $10,000,000,” Hays said.
"But I do say they created money
raising machinery to do that.
When Hays began reading his charge
about alleged misuse by democrats of
the governmental agencies In further
ance of party Interests, Reed again broke
In, demanding that Hays give the names
of those who had Informed him of the
alleged abuses.
Hays referred Reed to speeches by
Senator Smoot of Utah In the senate.
Hays named Clarence B. Miller, secre
tary of the republican natioual commit
tee. as one Informant and snid Miller
had been assigned to And out what the
democrats were doing and was prepared
to testify concerning what he had
learned.
When Reed asked for samples of dem
ocratic propaganda which Hays charged
was being sent out from govertyuent de
partments in Washington, Hays pro
duced a circular lei ter sent, he said, to
bankg generally from the office of John
Skelton Williams, controller of the cur
rency, dated July 111, 1920.
From this letter he reall a statement
that disturbed financial conditions. In the
United States were due to failure Fo rat
ify the treaty.
That, Hnyß said, was elearly political
propaganda, because If was an argument
for the league of nations. •
Reed moved that Senator Smoot he
called, and the committee took the mo
tion under advisement.
George W. Bean, member of the re
publican committee from Florida, fur
nished the information, Hays said, on
which the charge that the democrats
drew drafts on democratic bankers was
based.
“Bean said a democratic hanker told
him that sight drafts had been drawn
on him,” said Hays.
“Bean said ho was informed by demo
crats. that they were.afraid not to.honor
the drafts for fear government, funds
in the bank would he withdrawn.
Senator -Kenyon opened the session
promptly at 11:10 a. m., asking that cer
tain extracts from speech made by Gov.
Fox v'fMu Ihe ten days, he made
part of the records.
■- earner Kucu of Missouri addcessejl
the committee Immediately after Cha-tr-'
man Kgnyon and stated that if either
candidates or chairmen had made any
charges it was their duty to find “every
dollar collected,” aud the purpose to
which it was put.
“I think-this case should be pursued
Just as a case would be tried in. court,”
Senator Reed said.
“Otherwise, the record will be filled
with rumors and vague charges which
might be unjust to candidates and par
ties.
“I think the witnesses should all be
brought here and their sworn testimony
tn ken.”
Then Senator Kenyon introduced va
rious newspaper clippings with extracts
from Gov. Coxts West Virginia speeches
of Aug. 15.
Hays was called immediately follow
ing the reading of the extracts of the
Ohio governor’s West Virginia speeches.
Mr. Hays arose to testify and gave his
full name for the purpose of the records.
CHAIRMAN QUESTIONED
BY SENATOR KENYON.
“How long have you been chairman of
the republican national committee?” Sen
ator Kenyon asked.
“Since Feb. 19, 1918.”
“Have you had general charge of the
republican campaign since that time?’’
Kenyon continued.
“I have had charge of the national
committee part of the campaign,” Hays
replied.
WHITE AND MARSH
AT INVESTIGATION.
George White, chairman of the demo
cratic national committee, and Wilbur
Marsh, its treasurer, arrived today to at
tend the investigation which Senator Ken
yon, chairman of the committee, prom
ised would bw-impartial and as searching
as the committee can make it.
“Many charges and counter charges
have been made to this committee,” said
Kenyon.
“We’ll sift to the bottom of every one.
“We will do exact justice to everyone,
and show the facts, whatever they may
be.”
Representatives James W. Good of
lowa asked Kenyon to investigate al
leged violations of the corrupt -prac
tice acts by the democrats.
Good declared that Wilbur Marsh, In
his capacity as .treasurer, sent letters to
federal employes, virtually assessing
them for the democratic fund.
Good said he was ready to submit the
letters to the committee, one of them
having been written, he said, to a woman
postmaster demanding that she pay 3
per cent of her salary ito the demo
cratic war chest.
The commltte also had before It the
charge of Representative Britten that
the British embassy in Washington had
provided $87,500 for the democratic cam
paign fund.
Britien declared that this sum appro
priated by the British government for

’SQUIRES* COURT PERSECUTIONS
The republican prosecuting attorney is
a fee grabber. He has enriched his
office by many unwarranted prosecutions
in remote Justice of the peace courts,
which were unlawfully instituted by
irreSponsibe constables. ,
Our statute provides that it is the
duty of a constable to “take forthwith
before the nearest justice of the peace
all who violate the law in his presence,
and there charge them with such viola
tion on oath.” (Burns R. 8. 1914, 9549.)
I These hufnan parasites have made a
practice of arresting people without
warrants for alleged violations of the
automobile tail light law and similar
offenses, and have unlawfully compelled
them to appear before justices of the
peace in other townships. These offend
ers should be taken before a justice of
the peace in the township where the ar
rest is made. The prosecution of these
cases is unwarranted.
Why don’t the constables take these

will be necessary for the committee to

WINCHESTER, Ind„ Aug. 31.—After
forty-two years ln the railway mall
service, excepting four years during
Cleveland’s administration, Joseph
people before a justice of the., peace in
the township where the arrest Is made?
There are two reasons for this
First, it is because the justices of the
peace in Indianapolis, where most of
these arrests are made, receive salaries
and are paid r.o fees, and they are. con
sequently thought less likely to flne the
defendants than the justices of the peace
ih the outside townships (Irvington, for
instance), who receive no salaries and
are paid fees out of the fines collected.
The/other reason for this Iniquitous
practice is that it is believed that many
people, if taken before a justice of tht
peace- in the townships where the arrest
is made, would make a defense, but tha*,
if required to go to a remote court for
trial wnuld avoid doing so by consent
ing to the pillage.
I am unqualifiedly opposed to this
practice, and. If elected prosecuting
attorney, I will not tolerate It.
