Defendants Promptly Released. Even

Hearing of the Cases.
ONE REPUBLICAN MISTREATED
FEDERAL MARSHAL HAWKINS'S
DEPUTY BROUGHT HIN HERE.
AIvah Reid, an Election Officer at
Greensburg, Arrested to Keep
Him OFF the Board.

The last trump card OF the Popocratic
campaign lies in a widespread effort TO
take advantage of the stringent bribery
section of the election law for the purpose
of blackmail and intimidation. A week ago
Chairman Martin sent broadcast q circular
letter advising that arrests be procured
upon the slightest provocation upon
charges of attempted bribery, and pledging
the assistance of the State committee in
prosecuting Republicans and assisting the
men making the charges to obtain $500
from their victims. This has borne fruit
thus far in thirty or forty arrests of men,
for the most part reputable citizens, of the
State.
The Journals special dispatches have
noted number of these cases, one of the
most fragrant being that reported from
Charlottesville. where one McCloud, no.
torious ex-convict, brought such charge
against Glenn Miller and John Routh, two
Of the most reputable men OF the county.
The Indianapolis public is familiar with the
strenuous efforts that have been made in
this direction in this county by the Popo-
cratic county committee in sending repro
bates to the National Democratic and Re
publican headquarters to tell tales of woe
and beg for assistance to keep them from
starvation in order that they might go
away and bring charges of bribery and
corruption against the men from whom
they begged assistance. In furtherance of
this effort to mislead public opinion, and at
the same time put out of the way tempor-
arily workers for the Republican cause,
every city i'm the State has been plastered
over with flaming posters offering rewards
for any man who will bring such charges.
Where cases of this sort have been got
before the courts, the dispatches show
they have been found to be either abso-
lutely without excuse or of the fimsiest
character. But the plan is to have an enor-
nous number of such charges trumDed up
this morning in order that workers for
sound money may be thrown into Jail and
held there until the polls close. After that
it makes no difference whether any effort
is made TO sustain the charges or not In
this county they are putting much depend
ence upon the fact that they have Popo-
Gratis in charge of the police force and such
a rabd Popocrat as Judge Cox to hear the
cases. You'll find whole lot of these
here gold bugs behind the bars on election
day." boasted Tom Hedian to a Journal
reporter Sunday, land Judge Cox is going
to be too busy to hear any such cases until
after o'clock" And he chuckled much to
think how Keach would fret while waiting
for Il hearing.

was kept open half an hour after the usual
tine to clean up the line of people i'm wait
