PROGRESSIVE
STATE LEADERS
TO COME HERE

Hoping to forestall any possible ef-
fort to induce the Wayne county Pro-
gressive central committee to go on
record as being opposed to placing a
Progressive ticket in the field this
year, State Chairman Edwin NJ Lee,
of Indianapolis, and District Chairman
Roberts, of Greenfield, will attend the
committee meeting to be held tomor-
row afternoon.
These two party leaders will urge
immediate organization for the pri-
mary campaign and the nomination of
a strong ticket.
1t is generally understood that SEN
timent among the committee members
for and against such action is about
evenly divided and very lively meet
ing is anticipated.
Since the supreme court has ruled
that Progressives can participate at
the Republican primary next March
sentiment in favor of not putting out
a Progressive county ticket this year
has greatly increased. Some Progress
sive leaders base their advocacy Of
disbanding the Progressive county or
ganization on their objections to the
candidacy of J. Frank Hanly for the
Progressive gubernatorial nomination.

 We, the undersigned citizens and members of the school board of Grifithville special district, take pleasure in announcing our hearty endorsement of Prof. Ar thur Partnerships candidacy for county superintendent of schools.

His ability, efficiency and qualifications as an educator are most excellent and at this time he is principal of our High school and is doing good work and is giving perfect satisfaction. His strong executive ability, courte- ous manners and an earnest church worker maks him a very suitable man for the office to which he aspires. We also wish 
 to say that Prof. Blankenship, in our opinion, will have the unani- nous support of this (Dogwood) township, and our acquaintance with him affords us great pleas ure in commenting him to the voters of W hite county.
