SOLDIERS’ HOME
POLITICAL TOOL
G. O. P. After Scalp of Board
Member at Marion.
By Staff Correspondent.
MARION. Not. 15.—Judge John C. Ntl
on of Logransport Is slated to lose his
seat on the board of managers of the
National Military Homes for Disabled
Volunteer Soldiers some time after the
Republicans assume control of the Gov
emment, March 4. according to local
Republicans, who say that Congressman
MUton Kraus of the Eierenth District
made a pre-election promise to unseat
him. Mr. Kraus was re-elected. Judge
Nelson Is a Democrat, appointed by
President Wilson at the time the board
■was reorganised.
The Republican desire to oust Judge
Nelson arises from the transfer of s
large number of Civil War veterans
from the National Military Home here
to other homes a few weeks before the
election. It was announced by Govern
ment authorities that the tranafera were
made In order that buildings might br
vacated to provide for the changing of
thu post Into a convalescent hospital for
won tided World War Teterans, mostly
those suffering from shell shock.
ABOtT 500 VETERANS
WERE TRANSFERRED.
Approximately 500 Civil War and Span
lsh-A*jerlcan veterans were either trans
ferred from the post or left to live with
relatives because they did not desire to
be sent to distant parts of the country,
the Republicans say. This endangered
the Republican majority In Grant County,
which has been practically asaured by
virtne of the fact that from 80 to 90
per cent of the Home vote was with the
G. O. P.
Ordinarily the Grant County Repub
lican organization counts on at least
votes from home members. In the recent
election the party's candidates received
less than 4£o. If It had not been for the 1
Republican landslide a number of Re
publican county candidates would have I
been defeated as a result of this cut, :
party workers say. In the same breath 1
they charge the Democrats with having
engineered the transfer for political pur
poses.
The desires of the local Republican
workers also Include the appointment of
a Republican governor of the home, an
advantage they have not enjoyed since
MaJ. George W. Steele, Civil War veteran
and several times elected to Congress
on the Republican ticket, was relieved
of his command, and Col. A. B. Cramp
ton, Democratic editor of Delphi, ap
pointed.
Colonel Crampton was transferred to
the home at Milwaukee some time ago
and a Regular Army officer now Is It.
command here.
HOW THEY PLAN
TO MAKE CHANGE.
It Is the intention of the party organi
sation that Congressman Kraus Introduce
and carry through Congress a resolution
calling for a reorganization of the board
of managers after March 4, it Is said. If
Mr. Kraus does not, It is said, local Re
publlcsns will do all they can to see that

RUSHVILLE, Ind., Nov. 15.—Fred
A. Caldwell, a local undertaker, dis
covered that the only way he would
he able to keep warm with a coal
shortage at hand was to burn his
horse-drawn hearse.
The hearse was wrecked and the
wood In It supplied heat for bis place
of business for a week.

he does not return to Washington two
years hence.
Grant County Is in a position to get
abopt wbat It wants in the Eleventh
district, being the largest county and the
home of the district chairman, John A.
Jones of Falrmount. The county has not
had a Republican nominee for Repre
sentative for a number of years, and
there are several local leaders who would
like to relieve Kraus, especially In view
of the fact that the Incumbent has not
made a particularly brilliant record In
his two terms.
Judge Nelson has been on tbe board
of managers six years and his present
appointment would not expire for two
years. Tbe board Is made up of nine
members, one for each State In which a
national military home Is located.
