Whether the next federal grand
jury which will be convened in De-

known. There was considerable sur
prise expressed when the fedora!
grand jury returned only one indict-

HOW MANY LETTERS
IN CLERKS NAME?
Politicians Becoming Inter-
ested in Rather Unusual
Feature of Politics.

There is no law requiring either
tive or six letters in the surname of
the county clerk of Marion county.
ANY man can aspire to that position,
regardless of the number of letters in
his surname. OF course 1t would be
inconvenient for the assistants in the
office to have a man elected to that
position who had ten or fifteen letters
In his surname, but there is no writ
ten law prohibiting men of long sur
names from acting in the capacity of
county clerk of Marion county, or
from holding any other office in the
gift of the people.
The fact that both county and cir
cult clerks of Marion county have
generally had five or six letters in
their surnames establishes prece.

it is not an obstacle such as actually

served the next longest period in the
history of Marion county was Charles

incumbent is Arthur G. Martin (six
letters). The first circuit clerk of
Marion county was James Otis Wat
son (six letters), who held that posi-
ton from April 16, 1912, until April

clerks included Clarence L. Smith

but those who have come up against
unwritten laws say that no regula-
