those on nearby seats soon discovered
from the localities mentioned.
No. we've given 1t up" said one
man. I'VE can't build the way we
wanted to because a crazy little woman
down there in the southern part of the
state has gone and played the mischief
by getting a tenement law that upsets
everything"
The next news from Indianapolis was
that suit had been brought to test
the constitutionality Of the law. The
test was made in the case of hand

arisen in the office Of secretary Of state
as TO the manner Of filing 4 vacancy

Lee county progressive party conven-

does not recognize resignation that
way and the law was clearly violated
in the attempt TO nominate. But the
question IS whether or not the county
