BOTH SIDES CLAIM
EVERYTHING IN SIGHT

l can state positively that Ralston has
carried all or a majority of the dele
gates elected so far In every county
but three"
When the Ralston statement was
shown to the Boehne managers they
authorized the publication of the fol-
lowing:
Our opponents do not know the
number of counties in Indiana that
have selected delegates to the state
convention up to this time. neither do
they know how many delegates have
been chosen up TO now. judging from
the statement made by them. The
statement is so full of inaccuracies it
is ridiculous and the claims made are
just as absurd as the other Incorrect
assertions. For instance, they say
twenty-five counties have selected
delegates up until today, when the
facts are that twenty-six counties have
made their selections They say that
4s1 delegates have been chosen. The
truth is that sos delegates have been
named. The Ralston managers have
overlooked twenty-seven delegates
somewhere who will vote In the coming
convention.
Tho twenty-six counties selecting
delegates far have chosen 212 who
are favorable to the nomination of Mr..
Boehne, and we believe that 272 dele
gates have been named who are favor
able to Mr.. Ralston, while three are for
Lieutenant Governor Hall. and twenty
one are put down In q column by them
selves as unknown.
while these figures show that Mr.
Ralston has a lead of sixty delegates
over Mr.. Boehne, it must be remember
ed that FIVE counties in Mr. Ralston's
district have selected delegates, while
only two counties in Mr. Boehne's DIS
trict have chosen delegates
These claims are made on what
seems to us to be the best of inforn,a-
ton and we have not made it a policy
of claiming everything in site as is
done by another political manager
None of his figures are right. outside
of the ninth district. and they may not
prove to be altogether correct One
who does not know the number of
counties acting and has lost sight of
twenty-seven delegates is not given to
making accurate predictions and our
good friends over in the other head
quarters might well learn to be ac-
curate when dealing with figures, as the
fight Is young and there is more TO
come.

cense ordinance and reduces the fees
from 5000 to 5000.
The other ordinance passed provid es
rules for the impeachment of council
members. It was fathered by the re
form aldermen but Castleman tudici-
ously inserted an amendment which
gives the mayor the power of appoint
ing the Investigating committee The
Will thwart for the present any anti
Knots impeachment moves
Reform Element Jabbed In Neck
1t didn't take long for the Knots
alderman to run a spear through the
impeachment rules ordinance fathered
by Alderman Hess, Feuer and RowIey
AS the rules were intended to stand
any three voters could file charges
against councilman. the council
would name an investigating commit
tee and IL the report of that committee
was for trial the trial would be held
forwith and If charges sustained the
member impeached. In case the mayor
refused to pronounce the sentence OF
custer the council could do 1t by q
two thirds vote
Alderman Castleman substituted u
little clause which gives the mayor tn
stead of the council the power of ap-
poiHtiHe the lnVeBllgauhG committee
With this "sterilizing' clause attached
the measure passed over the protests
of its trainers.
High Licenses Knocked Low.
Early in the meeting Attorney
Clarence Bretsch read the petition
asking that the council repeal high
license ordinance number ITO. When
1T was placed upon its final passage
the vote stood five to four Messrs
Rowley, Feuer, Bowser and Hess vo.-
ing against 1t and Castleman, Gibson
Simiasko, Szymanski, and Walsh (thc
first two being ex-saloonkeepers and
the last two being saoonkeepers) vot-
ing for 1t. The measure will serve to
reduce license fees from $500 to the
old figure of $500. It is not known
whether Mayor Knots will sign 1t and
some lawyers contend that the council
has no power to reduce license fees
under the terms of the Proctor statute.
A Gem of Oratory.
Castlemans opening speech on the
liquor license repeal was a gem OF
screams, pathos and eloquence and is
as follows:
Il still say the same as / said I will
still prove If necessary that this ordi-
nance was passed by bribery"
Following several more statements
Alderman Rowley objected stating
that a grand jury was the place to
