So a Resident of Economy
Says in Speaking About
Law and Order League.
WRONG IMPRESSION OUT
CLAIMS THAT A FEW NOTORIETY
HUNTERS ARE MAKING OUT
THAT THE TOWN is BAD WHEN
1T REALLY is NOT.

The white winged dove OF peace Is
not spreading it's wings over the clas-
| sic village of Economy at the present
| stage of the game. The formation OF
| the law and order league, extended
mention of which was made in the
| columns of the Palladium a few days
ago, has engendered much bitter feel
ing among the residents of that COM
munity. 1t appears that two factions
| have sprung up as the outgrowth of
tnIs feeling, and recriminations, char
ges and counter-charges are the re-
suit.
According to information derived
yesterday from a reliable source that
portion of Economy's population
which is antagonistic to the new Or
ganization justifies the stand that it
has taken on the ground that the so
called law and order league has mis-
represented conditions in the town by
giving the public to understand that
disgraceful state of affairs exists
there. This is blot on the fair name
of Economy, which they vehemently
assert is one of the most moral. and
orderly communities in the state OF
Indiana.
"All this talk about Economy being
overrun with 'bootleggers' and blind
tigers is simply rot, said a resident
of the village last evening. There
is about as much need for a law and
order league there as there is for five
hoo lcs NTIve aof ar.
of fact one of the most active workers
in this league was until about a year
ago a notorious card shark and booze
fighter. He sold whisky over there
for years, and now he is posing as
a highly moral citizen. l understand
that he is member of that commit
tee of five, around whose identity. so
much secrecy was supposed 10 be
thrown, and who are to ferret out law
violaters and secure their Indictment.
One of these fellows was responsible
for the indictment of James Num-
bower on a charge of giving liquor
to couple of minors, Ora Edwards
and Earl Swain, Instead of standing
trial he very fooishly plead guilty and
was fined s31.75. It has been learned
nor their parents were before the
grand jury, and they now say that the
man never gave them anything to
drink. You can set it down as fact
that the only drinking done in Econo-
my is when some of the young fellows
each donate a certain amount of mon
ey and purchase a keg of beer. They
are all of age. and there is no law to
prevent them from doing this No at
tempt is made to conceal this beer,
and they do not care If the entire
town sees them drinking it. But as
I said before this talk about boot
leggers'' and blind tigers is simply
rot, and this bunch that organized
the law and order league will get no
encoura cement whatever from the
sensible people of Economy. They
are hurting our town in order to get
little notoriety.

WHITNEY CASE
ENDS, BARTLETT
SIDE OPENED

Boston Oct. 16-It was the intention of
the ballot law commission upon resum-
Ing It's investigation today OF the recent
Democratic convention at Springfield to
make every effort TO close the taking OF
testimony today If possible and with this
In view the session began early and was
planned TO continue until this evening.
Just before the hearing opened today
the commission was notified by the Sec
retary OF state that II would be advisa-
BILE II possible, for IL TO reach some con-
clusion before p. m. tomorrow when the
time for making changes I'm the state
tickets expire. The commission however,
did not instruct the counsel regarding any
curtailment OF testimony.
The evidence I'm support OF Mr.. Whit
ney's claims. so far as witnesses were
concerned. was closed shortly before IL
o'clock by the testimony OF three OF that
candidates leaders, Congressman Andrew
ID. Peters and John A. Keliher. and for
mer Congressman Joseph A. Conry, all
three OF whom related incidents Of tho
convention along much the same lines
as told by previous witnesses.
What was considered by the Bartlett
followers as something OF setback for
the Whitney faction. came with deci-
sion OF the commission in regard TO the
admission as evidence of 434 affidavits
offered by Counsel Parker, from Whit
ney Importers, taken directly after the
convention. OF these affidavits, 1l6 al
frmed that those signing them had at
tended the Whitney convention and had
voted for him. while the balance OF the
affidavits were from those who claimed to
have been unable to get into the con-
vention hall. The commission, in its de-
cision. admitted that portion of the latter
affidavits concerning the futile attempts
10 gain admission to the hall. but de-
clined to accept as evidence I'm the case
that part of the affidavits affirming that
the undersigned would, If able TO attend
the convention. have voted for Mr.. Whit
ney. The Bartlett delegation expressed
considerable satisfaction at this ruling.
The Bartlett side OF tthe contest was
begun shortly before IL o'clock with John
