BINGHAM MAKES A
BAD POLITICAL BREAK
As Candidate for Governor on Re-
publican Ticket in 1912, He Openly
Affihates Himself With Dry Ele-
ment, While Friends Are Trying to
Keep Liquor Out of Campaign.
TIMES BUREAU.
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind, April 27-Govern-
or Marshall evidently does not intend
to monkey with anyone on the subject
of prize lighting, but proposes to go
right to it." Yesterday he sent a let
ter to the prosecutor of St Joseph
county that was right to the point. and
it is understood that others are to
follow to other prosecutors in counties
where prize fights have been held, not
ably Lake county, where it is reported
that fights have been held in Ham
mond.
In his letter to the st. Joseph coun-
ty official the governor calls attention
to the fact that newspaper accounts
have reached him of prize fights that
have been held at South Bend He
says he wants the PROSECUTOR to investi-
gate the report, even if he has to call
on the author of the newspaper ar
| ticles to give information, and If he
finds that the law has been violated
he is directed to prosecute the parties
to the transaction.
There was an air of directness in
the letter of the governor that could
not we'll be misunderstood A letter
of similar nature was sent to the
prosecutor of Marion county last Sat
urday and the sports in this city are
| looking for something to happen.

bingham Make. a Bad Break.

Attorney General James Bingham
went home to Muncie last Sunday and
he had no more than Tit" in town than
the drys in the county local option
fight took him in tow and landed him
in their headquarters, where he told
them how glad he was that Delaware
county was going to hold an election
and that he hoped the drys would win.
He took a great part in the fight dur
ing the time that he was there, and
the drys took hope from the encour-
agement that he gave them.
But the republican leaders are red
hot because he ever went to see the
drys or took any part in the Delaware
county fight. Bingham is a candidate
for the nomination for governor in 1912
and the leaders are saying that by his
activity in the local option compaign
he has driven away from himself ev
cry liberal vote in the state. And
moreover. the leaders of the party want
to keep the liquor question out of poll
tics in the next campaign, for they
have had enough of it and that 1t
should now be left alone.
BY going up to Muncie and making
the break that he made Sunday, Bing
ham has put the party in a hole said
one prominent republican. The party
should not pay any attention to the
liquor question next time 1t has made
all kinds of trouble for us already, and
the longer it is drawn out the more
trouble we viii have with it. If Bing-
ham wants to be the prohibition candi-
date for governor that is all right, but
he should not seek now to make the
republican party stand for the issue
again"
There is no doubt that Bingham will
draw to his support many dry votes
in the state in his campaign for the
nomination for governor, but the gen
eral feeling seems to be that he will
lose the liberals, and that If he sue
eeeds in being nominated the party
will lose the entire liberal vote of the
state. That's what makes the party
| leaders sore at him.

MAY HOLD CONTRACTOR
FOR SEWER GAvE-IN

The cave-in of the local sewer, be-
tween Broadway and Massachusetts
streets near Fourteenth avenue, was
one of the subjects for discussion at the
meeting of the town board this after
noon when an attempt was made to
find out exactly why the sewer at this
point caved in. The contractors who
built the sewer, Green & Sons, are still
partially under bond and If it is found
to be defective, the Green company
will be made to replace it.
The repair of the sewer is now we'll
under way. Piles have been driven
around the broken portion of the sewer
which prevents more sand and dirt
from caving in on the workmen. Now
that the excavation has been boarded,
work will start at once on the recon
struction of the local sewer. 1t is not
expected that as much trouble viii be
encountered in the repair Of this sewer
as was experienced with the one which
broke in the first subdivision a year
ago.
1t is believed at the present time
that the unusual water pressure at that
time was responsible for the cave-in
of the sewer rather than any particular
defect.

is one Of the best friends that the col
