excavation and failed to put the
proper lights or signals at the point
in question"
Mr.. Wilentz, in his letter asked
that the city notify him of its dis
position in the matter. Upon mo-

by YEA oCftlCG
BOONyILLE, Ind,-For II
years, James c. Tweedy, 70, Civil
Kar veteran has remained away
from the polls. And thereby hangs
a tale
Teddy Roosevelt had no more en-
thusiastic follower than Tweedy.
Through all the campaigns of the
Big Stick weilder, Tweedy was to be
found loyalty upholding Roosevelt
ian policies.
Then came 1912 and the Roosevelt
bolt from the G.. o. P. and the
formation of a Bull Moose party
with Teddy as its leader. Tweedy
has always been a strong party man,
but his admiration of Roosevelt
overwhelmed that for his party, and
he "bolted" too.
Both went down to defeat, repudi-
ated by the people.
Roosevelt has passed away and
Tweedy swore he never would go to
the polls again, disappointed that
the voters should ignore his ideal,
He has kept his promise.
Roosevelt was my idea of a real
man and a real president" Tweedy
says, when asked why he has kept
his promise and stayed away from
the polls. when the people de-
feated Roosevelt they made a mis-
take, and l shall never vote again.
Perhaps l am wrong. But some
times it seems that 1 can hear Teddy
saying:
bully for you'll and 1 am reas-
sured."
