SHORTR|OGE LOST
SPIRITED DEBATE
Richmond High School Team
Received Unanimous De-
cision of Judges.

With a decisive victory over the
Shortridge High school debating team,
of Indianapolis, last night, Richmond
high school takes first place among
high school debating teams Of the
West, for Shortridge has long had a
reputation of being a school which de-
velops debators. Eleanora Shute
Francis O'Brien, and Fred Girty make
up the Richmond team. Shortridge
was represented by w. A. Edwards, H.
l.. Jones and n. J. Springer. Rich.
mond took the negative OF the ques-
ton. Resolved that the commission
plan of government is desirable as
form of government for cities of the
United States" The decision was
unanimous. School Superintendent
o. r. Baker, Of Winchester, Prof. E. P.
Trueblood. of Earlham college. and the
Rev. Arthur Gates. of Grace NJ. E.
church, were the judges.
The audience was an enthusiastic
one. The Richmond team was con-
stantly interrupted by applause when
especially well developed points were
made. The delivery of Miss Shute
and Miss O'Brien was snappy. Mr..
Girty, while using a forceful argu-
ment, seemed to be weak, both in ma.
terial and in address. The victory is
Richmonds second, recently having
defeated Marion.
Prof. A. L. Murray. who has coached
the Red and White" team, is being
praised considerably for the showing
his team made last night. Shortridge
came with record and with conf
dence, but Murray's pupils were easy
victors. Following the debate a re-
ception was given in honor of the
Shortridge team in the high school
gymnasium. The debate was held in
the high school auditorium.

Big Fields Will Enter the
Races for Prosecuting At

NO CANDIDATES FOR

Held Early in February
and 1t Promises to Be Hard
Fought One.

The political cauldron will begin to
sizzle again In this country next fail
when the various Republican candi-
dates seeking the nominations Tor
county treasurer, prosecuting aftor.
ney and county recorder commence
their campaigns. The race for trea-
surer apparently will be the most
hotly contested one for this office In
recent years, while the race for pro-
scouting attorney Is expected to also
be a sensational one. Those who In.
tend to enter the recorders race have
not announced themselves.
So far the activity Of the reported
or avowed candidates for the treasurer
and prosecutor nominations has ex.
tended no further than looking after
their fences and discussing condi'
tions with their most intimate friends.
st Ia expected the campaign will not
warm up until about January 1. From
then on until primary day. which will
be some Tuesday In February, there
Will be a mighty hot fight.
In Treasurer's Race.
For county treasurer to succeed Al
bert Albertson. there are now five
avowed candidates: Prof. F. L. Tor
renee, head of the mathematical de-
partment OF the high school; Thomas
Ali, deputy treasurer; Nimrod John
son, former city treasurer and now
superintendent of the municipal light
plant; Frank Jenkinson. who four
years ago made the race and ran a
close second and Jerome Shurley, who
also made the race for the office once
before. II is understood one or two
others are longing to get into the
fray but are Withholding their announ-
cements. During the last two primar'
les the race for the office OF prosecut.
ing attorney, now held by Charles l..
Ladd. has not had a big field of con.
testants, but in February, 1912, the
voters will have to pick from Will w.
Keller, Gath Freeman, Ralph Husson,
Gustav Hoelscher and possibly Den
yer Carl Harlan. All are young attor-
neys who have not been engaged In
the practice here more than few
years.
Both the offices OF the treasurer and
prosecutor are for two year terms. Two
terms are always given successful can.
didatcs for both offices.

Quite Probable That the Ter

of Richmond Will Be De-

A CAREFUL CANVASS
TO GET SIGNATURES
Improbable the Local Saloon
Organization Will Attempt
to Defeat the Efforts of the
"Drys."

A preliminary step to prevent the
establishment of a road house or a
liquor dispensary of any sort in
Wayne township, outside of the city
of Richmond, was taken Saturday
when petition signed by fifty voters
residing in that territory, asking that
an option election be held on Tues
day, June p, was filed with County
Auditor Demas Coe. to be presented
to the county commissioners on Mon
day for the boards Endorsement.
More than likely there will be no
contest over the granting of the petit
ton and furthermore it is improba-
BILE the saloon organization will en-.
deavor to defeat the efforts of the
| "drys"
1t has been known for several
| months, or in fact since the passage
of the new regulation act, that the
"drys" both in the city and township
would endeavor to declare the town
ship, exclusive of Richmond dry" ter
ritory. They have proceeded slowly,
any attempt of an applicant for Ii.
cense applying for permission to ope.
rate road house. Though no appli
cation for such license has been fill
ed it was the understanding of the
"drys" that such an application was
under consideration.
| The Method Employed.
The territory outside of the city
was divided into five districts in cir
culating petitions. The territory GOV
cred, and the first signature to each
petition follows: Petition No. l, sign
ed by S. Ellis Jredell and ten other
residents on the New Paris pike and
on rural route No. 3; petition No. Q.
signed by Leander Woodard; petition
No. 3, signed by Oliver Test and ter
Others living on rural routes Nos. !
and 8; petition No. 4, signed by AL
Pheus Trueblood and fourteen others
living on rural route s, and petition
No. 5, signed by L. r. Gist and clever
others living in the vicinity of Ches
ter. The estimated number of voters
in the township outside of Richmond
is 1873 and in order to hold an elec
tion it was necessary that the circula
tors of the petitions secure a total o.
thirty-three signatures, or approxi
nately one-fifth of the entire number
of voters of the territory In order tt
be on the safe side and because there
was small difficulty in securing sigma
lures, the circulators did not stop un
til they had secured fifty signatures
They say it would have been just al
easy to have secured fifty more anG
are confident the outcome of the elec
ton will be favorable to their prayer
in the petition. The voting precincts
will be announced by the commits
sioners.
The way which the law specifies the
number of voters of a district be de
termined is that the total vote cas-
for mayor at the general election be
subtracted from the total number Of
votes cast in the township for the of
fee of secretary of state. In the las,
municipal contest there were 5,24;
votes polled for the mayoralty candi
dates while the five candidates fol
secretary of state received a total ol
5.40S votes in Wayne township.
