Jackson Boyd of Greencastle. whose
job as Progressive state chairman was
recently appropriated by Edwin NJ.

Lee in Richmond Saturday. that ].
Frank Hanly was offered the guber.
material candidacy because no one else
was available. makes the declaration
that there were plenty Of Progressives
who would have been proud to have
accented the gubernatorial nomination
of their party. He brands Lee as q
peanut politician"
In speaking in Richmond Saturday
Lee referred to Bayd as "a good law.
yer. good citizen and a writer of
poetry, but possessed of the political
intellect of a 6-year-oid child" To
this Boyd makes the following answer:
"Mr. Lee, at Richmond Saturday,
gave as an excuse of putting his man
on the ticket that he could get no one
else. I know, and Mr.. Lee no doubt
knows, of not less than half a dozen
men who would be proud of the honor
of going on the Progressive ticket as q
candidate for governor. The truth is
this whole matter Of trading the plat
form for a candidate by Lee is a sam
pie Of Lees great political acumen.
He knows the game of politics on q
peanut basis, but when it comes to
principles he has no better conception
of politics than he has of the fourth
dimension of space"

AMERICAN SOCIETY
SUES AVIATOR FOR
LEGAL SEPARATION

Mrs. Claude Graham-White, wife OF
the well-known aviator, who has filed
petition for the restriction of her
conjugal rights, admits that the action
is a prelude to divorce proceedings.
Mrs. Graham-White was formerly
Miss Dorothy Caldwell Taylor, a New

noted aviator in Widford, England, in
June, 1912. The couple first met on
ship board in mid-ocean. At the time
of the wedding most of the guests ar
rived in aeroplanes, but Miss Taylor
had a premonition of danger and the
plan for her and the bridegroom to
fly to the church was called off.

BOND ASSERTS
CITY CAN MEET
DEBT IN YEAR

The combined electric properties
Of the city plant and the Light. Heat
q Power plant will be able to net the
city $4,000 the first year was the.
statement made today by City Attor-
ney William A. Bond In talk before
the Business Mems club which met at
noon.
He said that the $4,000 which the
city would have to borrow to buy the
competing plant could be paid off this
year without touching the taxpayers
money. Mr.. Bond in his talk outlined
the progress of the negotiations for
the purchase of the other plant from
the. time of its inception to the pres
ent. He attributed the decision to
purchase the plant to an error on the
part of member of the state public
service cor mission. He said that
without the knowledge OF the city Of
ficials one members Of the commission
permitted the L. H. & P. company to
make a lower rate to four of the
largest consumers of current in Rich
mond and therefore tied the city's
hands. He said that the only course
which the city could reasonably take
was to purchase the competing plant
and thus wipe out competition and
eliminate the expense OF duplicate
service
Bond Explains Action.
He said that what had been done
had been done only after careful
investigation. Mr.. Bond further stat
ed that he had been told unofficially
that the L. H. & p. company would be
willing to pay the city over 100000
!. for its municipal plant If it could have
the field "After the properties are
, combined the city will have about
$525, 100000 invested in the property
and 1t will be worth and can be sold
for 100000 Mr.. Bond stated.
Mr.. s. s. Strattan of Chicago, was
present as the guest of the club. He
stated that for several years he had
been able to get an outside view of
Richmond and he thought that the
Business Mems club which has been
formed could be great benefit to the
community.
The club which is made up of Rich
mond business and professional men
decided to name the organization the
1876 club on account of meeting each
Tuesday at six minutes after twelve.
l.. s. Bowman was announced as
the chairman in charge of the next
meeting
