spirit In man.
“Senator Harding, as the head of the
Republican party, is a reactionary, or
standpatter; he does not deny it; he re
joices in the name.
“Governor Cot is a progressive; he
proclaims himself as such and rejoices
in the name.
RECORDS SUPPORT
RESPECTIVE CLAIMS.
“The records of the two men support
their respective claims.
“The people of the country must de
cide In a few weeks which of these two
men is to guide the destiny of this na
tion.
“I expect the majority of our people
to support Governor Cox because the ma
jority of the people of America have al
ways been progressive.
“The vast majority or independent
voters are progressive, the vast majority
of Republicans are progressive, and the
vast majority of Democrats are progres
sive. '
“In representing the reactionary school
of thought, I do not think that Senator
Harding represents the majority of Re
publican voters; he is not the choice of
any substantial number of Republicans.
“In every State In the Union lit which
he was put to the test, he lost, except In
Ohio, and there his bare majority over

JUDGE THORNTON
TALKS OF TRAVEL
Says Countries Hold U. S. in
Critical Attitude.
Analyzing the attitude" of England,
France and Italy toward the United
States as “very critical” because of this
country's actions regarding the peace
treaty and the League of Nations, W. W.
Thornton, presiding jurist of the Superior
Court, room 1, today in the chambers
of his court discussed his trip to Europe
with newspapermen.
“I consider the attitude in England to
ward Americans not. hostile but very
critical because of what we have done
regarding the peace treaty and the
League of Nations.'” said the jurist.
“The same is true in France ns they
feel that America has made promises
which she has not kept as to the League
of Nations and the treaty.
“I did not go into Italy, as I was told
that there was decided resentment in
that country against Americans,” said
Judge Thornton.
The Jurist, accompanied by Mrs.
Thornton, sailed June 22 for England
and returned to New York last Monday
and on his arrival here immediately took
up judicial matters waiting his atten
tion.
ENTERTAINED BY
AMERICAN CONSUL.
The judge stated tbn he and Mrs.
Thornton were royally entertained In
Holland and Belgium ad while in Am
sterdam they were the luncheon guests
of Mr. Mahn, the American consul.
"Holland Is in n very bad condition,'’
said the judge.
“Before l left home, I was advised to
take gold and gold certificates with me
and when I arrived in Holland I dis
covered that there was no market for
gold as there Is a law there prohibiting
(he taking of gold out of the country.
“While there l sold *9O worth of gold
and lost in the transaction.
“Over there they are paying more for
bills that! they are yrold,” said the Judge.
He explained tha. there were not many
Americans in England, but they are
seen in large numbers in France.
Judge Thornton and bis wife made n
long trip into part of ttm battle re
gion in Belgium and Nortrrern France,
and there saw the people making an
effort to rehabilitate the sheii-torn land,
as well as construct roadways.
Judge Thornton stated he saw the
second largest gun of the Germans in
Belgium, where the Germans were forced
to leavb the monster.
“Looking down in one shell hole I saw
a skeleton and in another hole 1 saw a
noldter's boot and the bones of a leg
and foot were in It,” he said.
VIEW Rl INS OF
LARGE FOREST.
“We visited what was once a fores!
nine miles long and about four miles
wide, and all that remains now Is shell
holes,” explained Judge Thornton, in
illustrating the tremendous task of re
claiming the devastated regions of war.
He explained that he was Informed on
reliable authority while in Faris that the
French fully expected that Paris would
l>o taken by the Germans and that the
English had made plans to get their fel
low countrymen out of l'arts if neces
sary.
“We ail know now that it was unnec
essary.” sin tied the court.
In discussing price*. Judge Thornton
s,at.-il t’.i.-it lie purchased a splendid din
ner for 00 cents In France.
"If i had bought it in Indlanaptdls It
would have cost me either $1.50 or $2,"
he said, but explained that the market*
were generally higher over there on cer
tain things.
"About the only reminder of war that
I saw in Paris was the large numbers of
women wearing mourning,” he said.
I “And I noticed that they were long
' black veils nearly to their shoe top*
"The women are wearing mlgbtc
short skirt* over there,” admitted tb
Judge.
The judge and Mrs. Thornton visited
the home of Bobbie (turn* In Scotland
and while there u bad storm came op
and the Thornton* were literally soaked
In the downpour.
He explained that it is nearly Impos
sible to obtain any one to handle or
haul one's luggage and the Judge stated
that he carried his own luggage about
with him.
Judge Thornton appears to be In ex
cellent health and delighted again to be
back In the best city in the world.

its service to the people of Indianapolis. From
similar beginnings have grown the compre
hensive systems of branch banks that are now
serving in a most convenient and necessary
way hundreds of communities in such cities as
Cleveland, Detroit, St, Louis, New York,
Buffalo, Cincinnati and New Orleans.
The new branch banks of the Fletcher Savings and
Trust Company are your banks —placed at your very
doorstep for your convenience and service. They are
neighborhood institutions, but at the same time each is
an active unit of the larger, long-established parent
company, under the direction of its experienced man
agement, and offering to depositors the security and
protection of its One and a Saif Million Dollars capital,
the largest in Indiana. *
Individuals, community business men and farmers to whom
these branches are closest are especially invited to make
use of their facilities. Savings accounts and checking accounts
will be handled at each branch, and certificates of deposit and
drafts nill be issued. Service in rental, insurance, loan, real
estate, bond, foreign exchange, publie accounting, income tax and
trust transactions will be, of course, supplemented by the full
facilities of the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company.
In opening these two branches the company recognizes the pres
ent and coming growth of Indianapolis and the needs which ac
