ROBERTS
NOT ELIGIBLE
TO MAYORSHlP
Could Not Serve if Elected by
Terre Haute Voters,
Says Lesh.
SERVED PRISON TERM
Law Passed in 1921 May Also
Affect Candidate in
Muncie.

Dom Roberts, Democratic nominee
for mayor of Terre Haute, can not
serve as mayor under the Indiana
law, even If he is elected this fall,
Attorney General U. S. Lesh ruled
today in an unofficial opinion sent to
State Senator Clem Richards OF
Terre Haute.
The ruling cites the law passed by
the 1921 Legislature which provides
that no person who has served a
term in a Federal penetentiary shall
be permitted to hold Office in the
State
After setting forth the law Mr. Lesh
saysinh is letter:
IN my opinion Mr.. Roberts cannot
serve as mayor OF Terre Haute even he
receives a majority of the votes"
Mr. Roberts served a term in the Fed
eral penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth
for completely In election frauds in Terre
Haute while serving as mayor.
APPLIES ALSO
TO MUNCIE MAN.
Although Roland Bunch, Democrats
nominee for mayor Of Muncie, is not
mentioned in the opinion, the law would
apply as well to him as he also has served
a term IN a Federal pelitentiary being
convicted Of using the mails 10 detraud
while still in the mayors office.
The question Of the rights OF both men
10 participate in primaries this spring
was raised. but in both cases city clerks
certified their names 10 election boards
and they were nominated With comfor-
table majorlties.
The Don Roberts case has been the
center Of particularly wide attention be-
cause Of his announced intention to
come back" and vindicate himself and
because Of the attention attracted by the
/. sensational case IN FeUeral Court which
resulted In his conviction.
LAW PASSED FOR
SPECIAL PURPOSE.
The law which was enacted for the
express purpose OF preventing MIR. Bunch
and Mr.. Roberts from serving as mayors
of their respective cities is brief and
specific II follows:
Section L Be Il enacted by the general
assembly Of the state OF Indiana, That
it shall hereafter be deemed an IN
dispensable qualification for persons 10
hold any office within the State OF IN
diana either by election or appointment,
that such persons shall never have evaded
or have been convicted OF evading the
selective service act Of the United States
or of any conspiracy or attempt 20 de
fraud the Government Of the United
States. or OF any sediuous utterances in
violation Of any OF the laws Of the United
States or Of any other crime against the
laws Of the United States where the
sentence imposed therefor exceeded six
months.
sec. .. Any appointment or election of
any such person lacking the qualification
described in section 1 Of this act shall
be absctGtely void.
Sec g. Nothing In this act shall be
construed to invalidate any election,
nomination or appointment held or made
prior 10 passage OF this act"
1t is expected that If either Mr.. Roberts
or Mr.. Bunch is elected or II they are
both elected, the eonstitutionality OF the
act Immediately Will be tested.

for expansion Of the terms was fair and
It left the onus Of Ireland fate to the
Sim Fein.
Lloyd George motored in from his coun-
try home, Chequers. where he went Sat-
urday Immediately before all the Irish
correspondence was made public. 1t was
believed he would have nothing further
to offer until the Dali Eireann has made
Its choice-peace or war.
PREMIER sOLIDIFIEs
HOME SUPPORT.
The belief was general here that the
Welchman, through publishing the cor
respondence between himself and lie Va
lera and the letter of General SHUTS to
De Valera, had solldiled support In this
country. Even the liberal element. 1t
was believed would agree that the British
offer was as generous as could be con-
ceiyed
There was belief that De Valera took
pains to leave the way open for further
negotiations. There was little doubt that
the Dali Eireann tomorrow viii refuse
to break off all negotiations, especially
since British newspapers which have IN
clined to the Irish view, are urging he
folly of doing so.
Leaders of the Irish delegation in Ions
don are confident the Sim Fein parlia-l
ment at its meeting in Dublin tomor-
row will authorize Eamonn de Valera to
continue peace negotiations with Premier
Lloyd George.
IRISH ARE
LESS PESSIMISTIC.
/ The Sim Feiners are apparently less
pessimistic than the English. One mem
| ber Of the Irish delegation described
the situation as one "of optimism and
promise" adding:
"Our view is that the exchanges be-
tween Premier Lloyd George and De
Valera show that neither will be quick
! to break off the negotiations. Nothing
more can be said and nothing more can
| be done until the question is referred
to Dali Eireann tomorrow. Then it Is
possible that the negotiations will enter
a new phase"
There was a full session of the cabinet
to consider the Irish crisis Simultan-
eously it was said it was unlikely that
Premier Lloyd George would make a
statement on Ireland In the House Of
1 Commons this evening.
The publication of the correspondents
! which passed between Premier Lloyd
George and Eamonn De Valera, head OF
the Sim Fein government, reveals that
| the Irish Republicans are holding out
! for absolute independence despite the
repeatedly published declarations of the
British government spokesman that
England would never consent to the
creation of an Irish republic.
ut is foolish to suggest there is any
substantial hope for peace" says the
Dublin correspondent of the Daily Tele-
graph.
NEWSPAPERS UPHOLD

view that the door has not been closed

shown by the following excerpts from
