Stanley were arrested Thursday by deputy L.
S. marshal charged with the crime ~ of pre-
venting the tramp voter John Black, from
casting an illegal ballot They gave bond for
their appearance at the proper time at Indian
apOlis. These arrests explain the recent trip of
twenty-five Aogansport republicans TO Indian
apois. The republicans, having the L. S.
court, its officers and hangers-on, propose TO
to prosecute democrats who dared interfere in
any way in keeping illegal Harrison voters
from the polls last November. Ii behooves the
gentlemen under arrest for crime p and their
fellow democrats to see that the proposed bull
doing scheme is not allowed TO win. The par
tisan court and officers will do all IA their
power to force onviction.-LogGnsp0r
