Are Null by Indiana Law.
Under the new marriage law of In
diana, which will become operative IN
few days, Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Joseph. Mich, will cease to be favorite
meccas for Indiana clipping couples. The
new law, which Gov. Hanly declares
shall be rigidly enforced, provides that
when marriage is contracted by couples
in another State, it will be declared null
and void upon the return of the couple.
A bona-hde residence in the State where
the marriage is performed must be prov
ed to establish it's validity. 1t is believ-
ed the enforcement of this law will abate
the clipping evil and keep at home the
hundreds of couples who yearly leave the
State to get married.

istration, and l believe that is what
the people want. 1t ought to be easy
to reach an agreement as to the di-
vision Of the offices. and with that out
of the way, there is no obstacle that
know of in the way of conducting
the city's affairs in the future as they
have been conducted for the past three
years.
Attorney Frank E. Smith: am in
favor of genuine citizens movement
the purpose of which will be to give
the city the best possible business adj
ministration. II such plan is car
ried out, mere party politics ought not
to cut any figure.
o. w. Belden: I am very strongly
in favor Of a citizens ticket for the
city. The plan has been tried, and
has certainly worked we'll with us. 1t
Is in the interests of good government,
and I think 1t would be a mistake to
go back to partisan politics in Lewis
town.
Harry c. Brown: have no interest
in this matter further than to see a
good. business-like administration of
the city's affairs. 1t seems to me that
a fusion of forces to that end is dc.
sirable at the coming election.
Walter B. Miner: 1t seems to me
that all good citizens should unite in
upholding the best men who can be
found to place in charge of the city's
affairs. Politics should cut no figure
in this matter.
