Absolutely none. Most great social

Ed Jackson Will Enter Of

Has Been Making Patri-
otto Speeches Governor
to Make Appointment.

INDIANAPOLIS. IND. July 9.-In
rendering his resignation as secretary
Of state and making application to enter
the officers training camp which Will
open at Fort Benjamin Harrison on Au-
gust 27. Ed Jackson is taking some
of the same medicine that he has been
prescribing for other men in the state.
Fer several weeks Jackson has been
making speeches at patriotic meetings
in various places. and at recruiting
meetings In all of these speeches he
has advised and urged men to enlist in
the army or navy.
When ne announced. Friday afternoon
that he had decided to apply for mem
bership in the training camp he said:
i've felt more and more that should
do this You know I've been making
speeches all over the state, urging men
to enlist, and il has come home 10 me
that it is the right thing for ne 70 do to
take the same step myself"
The Office Of secretary of state car
ries a salary ~ $500 year. and mas
much as Mr.. Jackson was elected last
fan and took office last December, he
still has year and half to serve OF
his present term. And he probably
would have been renominated if he had
remained in Office. Therefore. it is easy
TO see that he is making a very heavy
financial sacrifice in resigning the office
ans entering the army.
HIS resignation is to take effect when
he is accepted for service at the train
ing camp but not before. He has al
ready taken 6 physical amination
equal to that which he viii undergo at
the training camp. and the physicians
have pronounced him in good physical
condition and I'll for the training camp.
Therefore. there seems to be little doubt
that he will make it. all right.
While of course. no definite an
nouncement has been made on the sub
