County Treasurer Ralph Lemcke being
the city chairman.
Here is where the ants begin to get
gleeful. The city council Is the body
which must change the precinct bound
airy lines. The ants have a majority in
the council. What the council Is likely
to do with any ordinance for this purpose
sent to them by the administrati ton
forces, is best expressed by President
G. G. Schmidt himself the chief oppon-
ent of Mayor Jewett In the legislative
body.
Just let them send up such a measure
and see what we do to IT," Mr.. Schmidt
stated.
1t was pointed out to Mr.. Schmidt that
the administration men are saying that
the council will not dare refuse to leg
sen congestion at the POLLS by Increasing
the number OF precincts because public
sentiment will so generally and so urgent
ly demand 1t.
Just let them try that, too" was Mr..
Schmidt's reply. 1.-THE Jewett admin
istration has been so responsive to pub
lie sentiment itself, particularly while 1t
has been blocking tAe establishment Of
the sub market desired by the women Of
the south side and particularly while
the board of works was trying to force
through the resurfaclng of many streets
on which poor people had their homes,
regardless OF the fact that prices were
S1I a front foot as compared with the
$3.50 or normal times.
This little move Is one of the clever
things I'm quite sure the administrat ton
is not going to get by with"

the inspectors in the city primary and

In a tight election a set of inspectors
Tersed in the game the way 1t has been
played often In this city, can swing the
rnal results one way or the other with
little trouble, providing no Federal Of
nces are being filed.
The Jewett- Lemcke control was almost
broken last spring when the Marion
organized and DR.. e. E. Hodgin nearly
defeated Harry Hendrickson, the pres
ent county chairman. DR.. Hodgin Is
still one Of the anti leaders. The antIs
have been working steadily toward vic
tory in the city reorga nization ever since
that time, not even letting up during the
recent presidential campaign when they
kept their ranks intact through the
Harding Club, which had headquarters
at the Hotel English.
The only way the ants can be success
fully COPIED with this time the admins
tration faction Is said to believe, is to
increase the number Of precincts in In
dianapolis and thereby the number of
precinct committeeman. The present city
chairman has the power to choose the
committeeman to represent any new pre-
cincts created within his Jurisdiction
during his term. The administration
claims that many of the present pre-

While the Jewett-Lemcke wing Of the

planning to clinch It's hold on the or
EaDization for the city campaign next
year through a gerrymandering move,
the anti-Jewett faction is preparing to

The Jewett-Lemcke crowd has been
quietly laughing up its sleeve at the as
sertions of the ants that they are 60
ing to seize the city organization when
the new city chairman is named in the
spring because they have had this gerry
mander IN reserve.
The ants are laughing just as heartily,
and as quietly, at the administration out

Tho miners Of lows have refused to

had the audacity to attempt to per
suade the coal diggers to accept; the
former constitutes about 40 while the

There is tendency on the part OF
some to get my share;'' while the

The coal diggers are paid for the
coal they actually mine, and during the
summer months seldom work more than
two days per week while the "day and
