indianapolis Election Frauds

The verdict of guilty found against Samuel
V. Perrott, chief of police, and other police Off
GERS of Indianapolis, can be accepted as pretty
conclusive indication that the men violated the
election laws of the government.
A crooked police officer is menace. When
the police cease to protect the public and engage
in nefarious political practices, the community is
face to face with situation that requires remed-
al measures of the highest order.
The only remedy that is efficacious is an in
dctment and conviction.
After the Terre Haute convictions, the state
believed that corrupt election practices by city
and county officials had been checked. The con-
vction obtained in the Indianapolis trial ought
to emphasize the truth that Indiana is an un-
healthy place for officials who are both corrupt
party men and corrupt officers of the city and
state.
AN enforced vacation Of some of Terre
Haute's citizens at Fort Leavenworth prison
clarified the political situation there. Indianap-

STOCKHOLM, June 27.-Some parts
of Europe are petitioning their govern
ments for the privilege of eating bark
from trees, so distressful have food
conditions become.
Americas reported decision to soon
forbid exports to neutral countries
combined with the increasingly bad
Swedish crop prospects, is causing pro-
found apprehension throughout the
country. Tuesdays rains were insult
fIcient to alter the mournful outlook,
because rain fell for only two hours in
many places where it had been needed
for eight days.

In Skane, the richest part of Sweden

safety now rests on the hope that
Russia will make a separate peace
thus enabling Sweden to obtain Rus

The general belief is that Russia has
grain to spare, but under the present
conditions is unable to move it for
itself or anybody else.

Elliott s Election

The defeat handed Finly H. Gray by R. N.
Elliott Republican nominee, reflects the attitude
of the District. Gray's anti-preparedness record
in Congress, his pussyfoot methods of playing
the game and his desire to build up a machine by
patronage distribution were the causes that led
to his downfall.
The Sixth District must be represented in
Congress by man with some vision and back
bone Gray lacked both. Elliott has the qualifi-
cations required of representative.
The people of the District made no mistake in
elevating him to the post. They may rest assured
that Elliott will take the right side of every pub
lie issue and will not fear to let the public know
how he stands.
We believe that the vast majority of voters
in the Sixth wish him abundant success in the
position to which they have elected him.
