Indiana members of congress are
still being bombarded with kilograms,
letters and petitions from constituents
in regard to the Smith Towner bill to
establish a national department of
education. Opposition to the measure
is expressed in a majority of these
communications. chiefly because of
the fear that 1t has been designed to-
ward ultimate national contrci of the

all times.
The commoner's friends assert that
feeling as he did about the peace
treaty and Governor Cox's record as a
wet, he owed 1t to the Democratic
party to express himself frankly be-
fore party action was taken.
When the party acted in defiance
of his advice, the Bryan followers say,
there was nothing for Mr.. Bryan to do
but keep silent. They say he could
not stultify himself; that he could not
ask for the election of the man he had
pronounced unworthy of the presi-
dency. nor indorse an appeal to the
people of the futility of which he had
no doubt.

final ARGUMENTS IN
GILMORE CASE READY

EATON, O., Feb. 23.-Final argu-
ments were to be entered upon this
morning in the trial of Craig Gilmore,
local married man, whom Miss Amy
Won Kanel. local school teacher, al
leges forcibly entered her bedroom in
the home of Mrs. Minnie Michael. in
the night, and criminally assaulted
her.
Attorney Dick Shepherd. Of Hamil-
ton. was to argue for the defense,
while Phil Saylor. assistant prosecu-
tor and a former prosecutor, was to
srgue for the state. No time limit had
boon placed upon the arguments.
Indications were the case might
reach the Jury by noon. If not by
that time, then soon after the noon
recess.
The arguments were begun Tues
day afternoon, the defense having
rested its case, but not sufficiently
long before the noon hour to begin
the arguments.
Sever Opens Argument.
County Prosecutor Ralph G. Sever
opened the argument for the state. He
prefaced his address to the jury by
reading the Indictment returned by
the grand jury against the defendant
in the case. He presented the state
side in a clear and concise manner,
taking step by step its building.
Harry l.. Risinger followed with the
