 Would Go Up for 30 Years.
 Riley was arrested by Officer Gus tave Litke at the corner of SmalleY and Stanley streets this morning at 12:15 o'clock. The policeman said that earlier in the evening Riley came to him in an intoxicated condition and said he was on his way to the state farm at Norwich and wanted to be locked up. Officer Litke then chased him home, but shortly after midnight he came out looking for the policeman again and this time was so offensive he was arrested. In court Riley denied being drunk and showed a venemous spirit towards the po- licenan. Look at him laugh, that's the kind of a stiff he is," he re- marked, looking across at Officer Litke.
 "I guess you'd better go to jail for about thirty days and sober up," said the judge.
 "All right, I expected it," said the accused, and then as he crossed to the court room he turned towards the judge and with a curse said, 1T wish it had been thirty years.'

Indiana FIRST TO
EXPRESS CHOICE
FOR PRESIDENCY
Republicans Are for Nomi-
nation Of Fairbanks and
Democrats for Wilson
Issues Complicated.

indianapolis, March e.-After one OF
the most spirited campaigns in the po-
litical history ot Indiana, the state wide
primary election will be held tomorrow.
At that time the voters will record
their preference for nominees for the
presidency, for the vice presidency, for
the Unit ID States senatorship. and for
the governorship and other state Of
fees to be filled at the election next
November.
Indiana Will be the first state IN the
present campaign to have a prcferen-
tial presidential vote, but this feature
is made almost devoid of interest by
the fact that only ono candidate has
filed for the presidency on each OF the
party tickets. Tho Republicans are
for the nomination Of Charles W. Fair
banks for president and there Is no
Democratic opposition to the renomina-
tion of President Wilson. Vice Presi-
dent Thomas r. Marshall also will re-
ceive the Democratic Endorsement for
denomination.
On the other hand. the campaign for
nominations for governor and other
state officers Is exceedingly complicat-
ed and involved. This applies also to
the contest for the Republican nomina :
tion for United States senator. No
opposition exists among the Democrats
to the denomination of Senator John w.
Kern. On the Republican side there is
a bitter contest for the senatorial
nomination between former Congress
man James E. Watson and Captain
Harry -. New, one-time chairman of
the Republican national committee.
Judge James B. Wilson Of Bloomington
will receive the Progressive nomination
for senator without opposition.
John A. NJ. Adair, for many years
the congressman from the Eighth dis
triet, Is expected to be nominated by
the Democrats for governor. His op-
ponent Is Leonard p Clore Of Laporte.
For the head of the Republican state
ticket the rival aspirants are James
P. Goodrich of Winchester, Warren T.
McCray of Kentland and Quincy A.
Myers of Logansport. The name of
former Governor ]. Frank Hanly will
appear on the ballots as the Progressive
choice for the governorship.
