Lon Null, Well Known Rush
County Politician, Is Being
Groomed by the Democrats
To Enter Fight.
is BEING URGED BY
FRIENDS TO CONTEST
But as Yet He Has Not Con-
sented to Make the Race
Would Give New Castle Man
Very Hard Scrap.

Lon Null. we'll known citizen and
politician of Rush county, is being spo-
ken of as the democratic nominee for
congress to oppose w. O. Barnard of
New Castle. the present republican
representative to congress from this
district. Mr.. Null is said to be the
strongest democrat. politically, in the
district and. although he has not yet
consented to allowing his name to he
used. his many friends from all over
the district are urging him by all
means to do So
There are but two republican con-
gressmen from this state. Mr. Barnard
of New Castle and Mr.. Crumpacker of
Lafayette. the latter representing the
Tenth district. Every other district in
the state went democratic when Mar
shall defeated Watson for governor.
Want Solid Delegation.
The democrats are now making a big
endeavor to carry the Sixth and Tenth
districts. and if such occurs and the
present representatives from the other
districts are reelected, the Indiana
delegation in congress will be solidly
democratic.
William Blodgett, political writer for
the indianapolis News. in an article
on the situation in the Tenth congress
sional district. also injects little
Sixth district dope into his article and
says about the situation here. as fol-
lows:
In the Sixth district it is the inten.
tion to nominate Lon Null. of Rush
county, if he can be prevailed on to ac-
cept, and the party leaders are after
him good and strong. With Lon Null
against him Congressman Barnard will
have a hard fight. In the Tenth dis
trict, the democrats will try to get a
man who is as powerful politically as
is Lon Null in the Sixth. and for that
reason they are after a strong district
chairman and are objecting to a man
who played ball with the republicans
only few weeks ago.

Several Sunday schools and sewing
classes have volunteered their services

Intimates That He Has Some
Surprises in Store for
Wayne County People But
Avoids the Reporters.
HE HAS INFORMATION
TO BE INVESTIGATED
Many Taxpayers, 1t Is Stated,
Have Failed to Post Mort
cages, Foreign Stocks and
Other Kinds of TaxabIes.

W. E. Lowe, tax ferret, who some
time ago secured contract with the
Wayne county commissioners to list
sequestered and omitted taxable prop
erty, has begun operations and with an
assistantant, is firmly ensconced in the
court house. Though Lowe was not,
newspapers what surprises he has in
store for some of Wayne county's cit
izens. it is asserted that he has infor-
nation. collected from various coun-
ties in Ohio and other states, indicat-
ing that many Wayne county persons
have failed to post mortgages, foreign
stocks, etc, which they own. The in
formation in each specific case is filed
with the county and under the law the
auditor must notify the person against
whom the information has been re-
turned to call and give reason, if any,
why such assessments should not be
made. Within three days. if the per-
son summoned does not appear, the as
sessment goes on the tax duplicates
and the tax is collected as other taxes
are.
What Loves Share Is.
The tax ferret. under his present
contract with Wayne county. is to re-
the actual taxes paid into the county
treasury. The city of Richmond,
through it's attorney, Thomas J. Study.
has notified the county officers that
the city must receive it's part of the
taxes collected under the Lowe con.
tract without the 80 per cent fees be-
ing deducted. The Wayne circuit
court some time ago held that the coun-
ty commissioners have no right or
power to contract for the city and the
city in turn declined to enter into a
contract with w. F. Charters. when he
held a contract with the county, be-
cause of the fact that the city was
bound to get it's share of whateve,'
amounts might be collected by the
county. A. R. Feemster, attorney
for the town Of Cambridge City also
has served notice on the county that
Cambridge City expects to receive its
part of any taxes collected under the
Lowe contract without the 80 per cent
fees being deducted. Should Lowe
make a contract with both the city OF
Richmond and Cambridge City he
would be able to collect his fees from
these municipalities, but owing to the
fact that they will each receive their
share of the taxes collected. whether
they enter into contract with the
ferret or not, there apparently is little
inducement for them to do So

FOUND NOT GUILTY

In a special session of the city court
at 5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon, Will
liam Hawkins was found not guilty OF
the charge of beating a board bill at
the boarding house of Mrs. Mary Mau-
pin. Hawkins's explanation to the
court was to the effect that he had no
intention of beating his board bill.
He stated that ne had been i'll and un-
able to work and therefore could not
keep up with his debts. He declared
that he would pay the bill OF s6 just
as soon as he received the money.
