STATE POLITICAL LEADERS DISCUSS
EFFECTS OF OPTION DECISION
General Opinion of Republicans Is That
Finding of Supreme Court Will Help
Party in the Next Campaign---Say
Decision Has Taken the Question out
of c.. @. P. Politics.

indianapolis, Dec. 20-The de-
cision that the county local or-
ton law is constitutional was
the general topic OF conversation
among those who are interested
in politics. Nearly all the rcpub-
licans who talked OF the subject
at all believed that the fact thai.
the law had been held cOnsti-
tutional would be of brnent to
the republicans in the next cam
paign. Their argument was that
the liquor question coi:id not be
regarded as being out OF politics
and there would be no need OF
mentioning l. i'll any specihc way
in the next pia:iurm. At least
they believed the .lecIsion pldcel
the liquor question out of politics
10 such an cNferi li,a' il would
not be the issue in he next cam
paign. a few republicans remain
ed pessimistic. Several demo
Gratis whd keep in close touch
with POLITICAL affairs admitted
that it was their belief that the
republican party would be greatly
benefited by the decision.
State Senator +. +. Moore, of
Connersville, who was in the city
declared that it was much bet
ter for the republicans that the
option law had been declared com
stitutional. This decision" he
salf, takes the question out OF
politics as far as the. republicans
are concerned, and it is much bet
ter that it is out of politics. If 1t
had remained in politics it un-
doubtedly would have created
factions in the party.
CAS- | see it, if the law had
been declared unconstitutional,
there wouldI have been part OF
the party desiring to take a stand
for advanced temperance legisld-
ton probably statutory state
wide prohibition or something OF
the kind.
On the other hand there would
have been another factor exposed
to this and this would have caus-

GREATEST MANUFACTURING
DISTRICT in THE WORLD

future status of the district as the
great manufacturing and distributing
center, in three years it created a
city of $4,000 people centered about
its mighty mills. The divers, the
Studebakers, the Deeres, the Nc
Cormicks. the Deerings and all the
other manufacturers are alive to the
opportunities of the future. They re.
joice in the approaching completion
of the Panama canal and are deter
mined that false economy and politi-
cal scheming shall not delay the
building of the Lakes-to-Gulf deep
waterway, even if they have to pay
for it themselves.
The commanding position of this
industrial district is well indicated by
the trademark of the NJ. Rumeiy
Company of La Porte, Ind, repro
duced herewith. This company, in its
spirit and achievement, is typical OF
the manufacturers of the district.
Within the last three years it has
doubled the size of its plant, and still
it is unable to supply the demand for
its goods Nevertheless it does not
rest satisfied. but is already planning

trademark indicates, is reaching
out for yet broader markets. Five
hundred workmen are employed in ma
king the threshers. blowing engines,
and other agricultural implements
which il turns out and 13 branch Of
fees and a hundred travelling sales
men distribute them. The vide
awake officers of the company have
had their eyes on the Canadian mar
ket for some time, but only recently
felt justified IN entering ii. Their
first salesman sent there met with
extraordinary success Now the Rune
lys are turning toward South Ameri-
ca with the certain knowledge that,
given equal transportation facilities.
their goods will soon replace those of
European manufacture. During the
financial depression of last year the
Rumely Company stood in a class al
most by itself. While other manu-
facturers were closing down their
and in every way checking expendi-
lures, the Rumely Company kept right
or turning out machinery and selling
it, The demand for its goods last
year was greater than ever before.
The reason why the Rumely goods
sell so well is not far to seek Meinrad
Rumely, who established the business
in 1853, also established the policy of
making every machine he turned out
a little better than it had to be. His
sons and grandsons have never de-
waited from that policy for mo-
ment. The success of the products Of
their immense plant lies in correct
design, highest quality of materials
and thorough workmanship. The ma
chimes they turn out are always the
best that can be built.
The Rumelys have attacked a new
problem that has become actual dur
ing the last two years. Their achieve
ment in the manufacture of success
full steam blowing engines and Of
mechanical tractors, will mark an era,
as did the plows of John Deere and
Oliver, and the binder of Mccormick.
To-day, for the first time in the his
tory of the world, is 1t possible to
produce power by mechanical trac-
tors more economically than by the
use of the animal body. Out OF every
hundred pounds of fuel or food more
pull can be obtained from an engine
than horse or a mule. Twenty-eight
million horses are engaged on the
farms of the United States alone for
blowing purposes. The motors per-
fected by the Rumely inventors are
supplanting the horses wherever they
are put into use. They have reduced
the cost of blowing from $3.50 to 60
cents per acre. Although operated
almost continuously. the factory can
not produce engines enough.

E. E. Neal Pleased.

diana Lincoln league, and pros
pective candidate for the repub-
lican congressional nomination in
the Ninth district, was greatly
pleased when he heard that the
LAW had been declared constitu-
tional
That's good" he declared.
That means that the liquor ques-
ton is out of politics, and it
should have been out long ago.
The county option law is good
law. and it deserves to be tried
out.
It was suggested to Mr.. Neal
that the democrats in their state
convention, might declare for the
repeal of the option law, and that
this would have to take some
kind of stand.
IF the democrats declare for
THE repeal of the law" he declar-

One republican who is active in
state politics but who did not
wish his name used in connection
with what he said declared that
the decision that the option law
is constitutional would not help
matters much for the republicans.
The democrats. he said, will
simply declare for the repeal OF
the law and that will again put
the question up as an issue. and
they will sweep the state"
The general opinion among re-
publicans was, though, that the
decision means much to the par
ty 1t is related that two or three
days ago a number Of republican
leaders held little conference in

the decision might be. But the in
tereSting part of the conference
was that all agreed that if the OPP
ton law should be held constitu-
tional it would be the very best
thing for the republican party.
In the Platforms.
There was much talk as to just
how far either democrats or re-
publicans would go in their state
liquor question. The belief seem
ed to prevail that the republicans
probably would not make any
specific mention of question at
all. There were some who believ-
ed that the democrats might de-
clare for the repeal of the law in
order to force the republicans in
TO delilnma but some of the
more conservative democrats be-
lieved their party would hesitate
about doing this because it would
give the democratic party the re-
putation OF being the liquor par
ty.
Another feature of interest was
that some republicans believed
that the decision OF the court in
this case. would make it more
difficult for former Governor
Frank Hanly to bring his policies
before the republican state con-
vention if he has any idea of do
ing sucl a thing. If the option law
had been heM unconstitutional,
it was stated, the path would
have been clear for Mr.. Hanly
to go before the n xt state con-
vention and insist that the party
declare for statewide prohibi-
ton.
There has been much talk
about what Mr.. Hanly will do
politically in the future. For a
time it was the talk that he
would be a candidate for Unit
ed States senator, but this was
regarded as an idle rumor. About
the only definite statement that
has ever been made in regard to
Mr.. Hanly's political ideas was
made by one of his close friends
some time ago who said II know
that Mr.. Hanly had no idea Of be-
ing a candidate for United States
senator or for any office. But OF

UNWRITTEN LAW IS
UPHELD At CHICAGO
Slayer Of Sisters Betrayer Ae-
quilted by Jury

Chicago, June 30.-The "unwritten
law" was sustained in Judge Ker-
stems court by a jury which freed
Michael Pacellano, charged with the
murder of Frank Serene. The killing
was a result, it is alleged, of Sereno's
betrayal of Pacellano's sister.
The defendants sister, Mrs. Joseph
inc Fresso, was a bride of only a
week when, it is charged, Serene per-
suaded her to leave her husband. Ac-
cording to P%acellano's defense Serene
took her to New York and placed her
amid questionable surroundings. The
brother followed and brought both
back to Chicago, Serene having prom
Used, it is said, to marry Mrs. Fresso
after a divorce had been secured.
When the party left the train here
it is charged that Serene declared he
would have no more to do with the
girl. The shooting followed. The de-
PENDANTS attorney in addressing the
jury confined his remarks almost en-.
tirely to an exposition of the "unwrit.
ten law" 1t is said this is the first
time such a plea has proved success
full in Chicago.
