OF CAMPAIGN

WILL AROUSE VOTERS

Advocates of the city manager form
of government for Richmond are enter
ing the final week of the campaign
with the intention of putting strong
effort into the final drive. The policy
of open discussion in the various
wards of the city will be continued
this week and until the night preced-
ing the campaign
Anti-manager forces will hold their
regular Tuesday night organization
meeting in the Colonial Annex. at 7: As
Tuesday evening. This probably will
conclude their active campaigning al.
though it is possible that they will
hold a mass meeting the latter part
of the week.
Meeting Tonight.
Monday night, meeting favoring
the city manager government will be
held at the Whitewater Friends church
on North Tenth street. Tuesday night
another meeting will be held at the

Tuesday. Muncie, Anderson, Logans-
port and Kokomo will express their
preference at that time. Logansport
and Kokomo virtually have conceded
victory to the anti-city manager
forces.
Would Call Primary.
In the event of defeat of the pro-
posed change, the city council will be
called into a special meeting to fix the
date for the holding of primary cleo
ton. Such election cannot be held
earlier than 80 days after the special
election. This probably would mean
that the primary election in this city
would not be held until the latter part
of July.
Before the special election on the
city manager proposition was called a
number of aspralts for city offices.
both Republicans and Democrats, had
filed notice of their intention to be-
come candidates. These notices were
fled on the assumption that the pri-
mary election would be held at the
time provided by law, the first Tues
day in May.
Question Arises
The calling of the special election
automatically postponed the primary.
A question has arisen as to whether
aspirants for office will be required
10 file new notices of their intentions.
There is some conflict of opinion on
this but it is generally held that new
Intentions will have to be filed not
less than 80 days nor more than so
days before the date on which the
primary is to be held.

under a $4,000 peace bond. Milan

when he got off the train at Sharon

Vigilantes Getting
Results in Memphis

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 3.--Reports
Monday were very encouraging to
those who have taken such an inter-
est recently in stemming the crime
wave. Saturday and Sunday nights
were the most quiet and orderly ex-
perienced here in many weeks. Only
nine arrests were made, all being
colored, and no crimes of cOnse-
quence were reported for the period.
The vigilantes, under the direction
of Col. Roane Waring, are lending
cooperation to Sheriff Perry and his
regular corps of deputies and pub
lie sentiment, which at first was dis
posed to be slightly dubious, is APP
parently becoming seriously awaken
ed to the efficiency of methods,
which are largely designed to fore
stall and prevent crime.

which held a three-day session

there were more of the vets in at
tendance and that some of the ablest
papers ever listened to were read.
Diseases of hogs were fully discuss
ed and several problems relating to
animal diseases were solved. A
dog was exhibited that had just a
few days before undergone an ope-
ration for appendicitis. The canine
was well and hearty. The next
meeting will be held in Memphis.

Mistrial in 500, 900
Damage Suit Here

The jury trying the case of Paul
Walker, by next friend, VS.. L. T.
Smith, a suit instituted by young
Walker for $4,000 damages, alleg-
ing alternating the affections of his
wife, reported that it was unable to
reach an agreement, except as to
Floyd Warmath, who, jointly, was
sued with his father-in-law, Mr..
Smith.
Col. j. W. Rankin and Judge Jos.
E. Jones represented Walker, lad
of 18 years, while Hon. L. C. Han
nings was counsel for Smith. The
case went to trial before a jury
Tuesday morning. This absorbing
suit is the result of the marriage of
the young daughter of Mr.. L. T.
Smith, a wealthy farmer residing
near Terrell, the girl being less than
Is. Walker alleges that after their
marriage in Union City last Deem
Der his wife was forcibly taken
from him by her father, aided and
abetted by Floyd Warmath and
wife, Mrs. Warmath being sister
to the Smith girl. But the girl
bride stated upon the witness stand
that her going home to her parents
was of her volition, free-will and ac-
cord; that her father had nothing
to do with it; that when she was i'll
formed by her sister, Mrs. Warmath,
that her father and mother were al
most killed by her marriage she said
she was going to see them; that she
asked Paul to accompany her, but
he refused; that she told her father
upon her arrival home she was not
going back to Paul. Paul stated that
he still loves his girl-bride; that he
wants her to come and live with
him. He shows that he had procured
a good position in Martin and was
able to support a wife. He charges
that his wife was forcibly taken
from him and that Mrs. Warmatt
hit him in the face with her purse
the night his wife was taken from
him and carried away in an auto
mobile.

Calls on Citizens to
Stand by Officers
and Court
ILLICIT MANUFACTURE
TO BE STAMPED OUT
Evil is Growing and is a Mem
ace to Society. Notify Sher-
iff of the Stills

Monday, when his honor, Judge
Elkins, had completed his charge to
the grand jury, Gen. Tom Morris,
who, by the way, is rated the most
vigorous prosecuting attorney in the
entire state, asked permission to
make statement. The circuit court
room was crowded, and the alert
attorney general took the occasion
to sound a warning to law violations.
He stated that the dog law is pretty
generally understood, and also pretty
generally ignored; that the law
makes it a misdemeanor for officers
to allow the law to be ignored; that
it must be enforced, and that he
found large number of citizens of
this county had not paid the 1921
dog tax, but that he was going to
give them an opportunity of doing
so before the grand jury adjourns.
Those who do not will be indicted.
The dog taX costs 81, but if an in
dictment is found the cost will be
SAL and if fine of $40 is imposed
the total will run to $51. He sug-
gests the payment of the 81 and the
saving of the other $50.
Gen. Morris took the occasion to
issue an ultimatum to illicit manu-
facturers of liquor that cannot be
misunderstood He stated that the
condition is appalling; that a few
years ago there was but little of it,
whereas today it has grown. He
emphasize the fact that he will ex-
ert his every energy to put stop to
the nefarious business. He urged
the citizens to stand by Sheriff
Bullock in his endeavor to suppress
the manufacture and sale of liquor
in Weakley. This they can do, he
said, by informing the sheriff of the
location of stills. He begged all law
abiding citizens to help suppress this
growing evil. He exploded the the
ory that the sheriff has no authority
to take a still. 1t is a violation of
the state law to transport liquor and
violation of the federal law to man
ufacture it for sale, the penalty be-
ing a penitentiary sentence, and he
said that if the citizens would CO.
operate with the sheriff and the
courts that all liquor makers would
be serving federal penitentiary sem
fences, for every jot and title of the
evidence brought out in state trials
