Joint Representative Declar-
es That From Now On He
Will Vote For the Man and
Not For the Party.
EXPRESSES DISGUST
OVER LEGISLATURE
Says That the Progressive
Party Is Making Efforts to
Put Up Good Men For All
Public Offices.
(Palla dunn Specially

MILTON, Ind, March 17-Disgust-
ed with the way in which legislation
was handled during the recent session
of the state legislature, Earl Crawford,
joint representative for Fayette and
Wayne counties in the state legisla-
ture, today emphatically declared that
henceforth he will not vote the
straight Democratic ticket. Represen-
tative Crawford asserts that he will
vote for the man whom he believes
will make the best public servant.
Every citizen should vote for the
man and not for the party" declared
we should lend our support to the man
whom we believe will fulfill his prom
ises and give the people his best SER
vices. I will not wear the Democratic
yoke, hereafter
When asked if the report to the eff
feet that he contemplated joining the
Progressive party were true, Mr.
Crawford said that he had made no
such statement, although he stated
that the Progressive party is making
efforts to put up good men for office
and that a number of the new party s
doctrines were formed along the right
line.
Representative Crawford was asked
whether he would attend the next
county meeting of Democrats. He said
that in all probability he would be
present at such meeting.
In speaking of the legislature which
just closed it's session the joint repre-.
sentative said that the body was con.
trolled absolutely by few politicians.
Boss and gag rule was in evidence, he
said, at all sittings of the assembly. A
majority of members of the lower
branch of the assembly, he said, could
be depended on at all times, to carry
out the orders of the few men higher
up" Consequently, he said, many good
bills were not enacted into laws, and
other laws were made which will not
benefit the general public.

Federal Judge Lands Wants
to Know Why Frauds Tot
aling Million Were Settled
For 100000.
ONE OF LAST ACTS
OF SECTY. MACVEAGH
Grand Jury Told to Deter
mine Whether Any Gov
ernment Officer Figured in
the Cleo" Deal.
(National News Associate

CHICAGO, March 17-Directing a
new probe into alleged frauds in evad-
ing federal tax on the part of oleo-
margerine manufacturers, Judge Lam
dis today instructed special federal
grand jury to investigate the method
by which frauds, alleged to amount to
81, 900, 900, recently were compromised
for 100000. Judge Lands instructed
the jurors particularly to consider
whether any public officer or agent of
the government had any part in the
arrangement. The investigation is the
second into the use of sulphus treated
oils in the manufacture of oleomar-
gerine by which the makers are al
legged to have sought to avoid payment
of the tax required on colored
products. The former investigation
led to indictments. The oleomargerine
makers took the matter up with the
treasury department and former sec
retary of the treasury, Macveagh
agreed to accept 100000 in compro-
mise. The agreement came in the
closing hours of the Taft administra-
ton.
In his instructions Judge Lands
told the jurors that they would have
behind them the authority of the court
to bring witnesses from any part of
the United States, examine into the
methods of the manufacturers of o1eo-
margerine and of so-called Gotten seed
oil, and the relations between the
manufacturers.
Should the inquiry disclose that sui
phur-treated oil was knowingly fur
nished and knowingly used the jury
was instructed that these facts should
be considered together with all other
evidence to determine whether the
manufacturers had an understanding
by pursuing these methods to defraud
the government, and that it would be
| their duty to ascertain whether any
public officer or agent of the govern
ment had conscious part in it.

of God (gOodntss) and the purpose to
live them with conscientious ~scruples
is the essence of Christianity, as ex-

be a love for the mental attitude moi

there is such a thing as righteous i'll

A Revolution In Thought

1t is surprising how men in office be-
come political weather cocks. At the
behest of Tammany Boss Murphy,
Governor William Su'zer, who refused
to obey the boss was impeached and re
moved from office. Gov. Sulzer in
sisted upon the Legislators owned by
Boss Murphy, enacting into law the
Democratic platform. A direct prima-
~ law, a Workingman's Compensation
act and a new ballot law We're urged by
Gov. Sulzel, but Boss Murphy and
Legislators thought the platform had
been made to get into Office on aid not
to be enacted into law.
Gov. SulZer was i,npeach and the
Legislature adjourned for a short time
only. Most Of those Assemblymen
who voted to imI each Gov. Su yer
failed of a denomination and Others
failed Of a reelection while Gov.
William Sulzer was elected to the next
Assembly which meet i'll January.

met a month after election, aftel they
and their party had been defeated and
passed those reform bills, recommended
by Gov. Glynn, as dOcile rs lambs.
