somewhat surprised and asked him
why he had moved.
Well" he said, Il propose to be
where 1 can watch the game that
these lobbyists are playing. l am
satisfied that they are working on
some of our weak members, and 1
am going right into their camp to
see what they are doing"
1 have said that we trusted E. i'm
plicitly. He was one of the most en-
thusiastic men we had. and being a
high-spirited. energetic young fell
low, he was Of great assistance in
our fights.
Whenever we gathered a little
group of the members in the execu-
tive office to talk over any critical
situation in the Legislature, E. was
always with us. He was an active
young manufacturer. HE often
talked with us about his business. I
think he had some special machine
which enabled him 10 make his prod
uct more cheaply than other manu-
facturers.
One day E. Ray Stevens came into
my office and said. Governor. wish
you would send up and ask z. to
come down here. I don't just like
the way he talks"
Why" I said. Ray. there can't
be anything wrong with E"
Then I began to think that he had
not been in to see me for three or
four days. Well" I said, IT will
send up"
When he came through the door
he did not meet me with his charac-
teristic frankness. But 1 greeted him
exactly as usual and said, "E., I
want to have little talk with you"
I moved my chair right up to his.
placed my hands on his knees and
looked him in the eye q moment be
fore I spoke Then 1 asked, e,
what's the matter?''
The tears started in his eyes and
the response came at once.
Governor. can't help II. I've
got to vote against the railroad taxa
ton bill" After a moment he added
Il haven't slept any for two or three
nights. 1 have walked the floor. I
have thought Of resigning and going
home"
Tell me all about It. E. said.
We'll" he replied. you know that
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1924-08-22

all I have in the world I have put
into that factory of mine. I have
told you about how proud l was of
the thing.
Faces Ruin
Now" he said, this railroad
lobby tells me that If 1 vote for that
railroad taxati ton bill they will ruin
me in business. They can take away
everything I've got. They have
threatened to give my competitors
advantages over me in railroad rates
that will offset any advantages l
have with my new machinery. Now,
1 can't beggar my family. I have
a wife and babies
I said, "E., you can't do this
wrong. You can't violate your con-
science" 1 talked to him quite
bit. He got up and walked the floor.
He said he would always be for our
measures, but he could not risk
being driven to the wall. And then
he left the office.
A few minutes before the roll call
on the BILL E., who sat next to Len
root, turned to him and said, Len
root, in five minutes 1 am going to
violate my oath of office
Lenroot was shocked and said,
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1924-08-22

the name of the Senator, which F.
repeatedly used during the negotia-
tions.
Assemblyman G. reported the
whole matter to Lenroot, who in
formed me. We agreed that here
was a case that we could take into
court If G. would swear to the facts
as reported to Lenroot. 1t was hoped
that a successful prosecution might
check the bribers in their raid on
our legislation.
1 sent for G. In Lenroot's pres
ence he repeated the conversation
between F. and the Senator ust as
he had given it to Lenroot.
l then called f. 70 the executive
chamber. He admit ID the converse
ton as detailed by G., but was slow
about confirming G. as to the name
of the Senator which he had used
again and again in discussing the
$500 proposal while in the clerk s
room.
Another interview was arranged,
at which time he promised to tell
everything. Before that interview
the lobby did such effective work
with both F. and G.. that their MEM
cries utterly failed them as to every
important detail of the whole event,
and without these two witnesses
there was no case.
Such was the opposition we-had
to meet on all of our measures, the
lobby standing together as one man
against both the taxation and the
direct primary bills.
1t was about the middle Of March,
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1924-08-22

after inconceivable delays, before the
direct primary bill could be brought
up in the Assembly for considera-
ton, and it was then bitterly OPP
posed.
When the debate was finally ex
hausted there was an all-night ses
sion so managed in parliamentary
way as to prevent a vote being
taken.
Members Drunk
In the meantime lobbyists were
calling members of the Assembly
outside of the chamber; liquor was
brought into the Capitol and into
the committee rooms. Members, were
made drunk and brought back in
such condition of intoxication
that they had to- be supported 10
their seats. And yet, in spite Of al
THIS we retained the support Of
enough members to pass the bill.
When it reached the Senate.
though the members were hostile
TO 1t, they dared not kill it out
right. The sentiment in the State.
they knew. was too strong. Accord.
nlgly, they pursued the usual indi
rect means Of accomplishing the
same end-by passing a substitute
measure called the Hagemeister bill,
winch defeated the real purpose of
the reform.

silver Dollar Coming Back
By Times Special

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-The
Treasury embarked today on a cam
paign to restore the silver dollar
the cart wheel'-which was so
widely used twenty years ago, to
general circulation.
The initial step was taken when
one Of the coins was placed in the
pay envelope of each of 5000 Treas
ury employees. Similar action will
be suggested to other government
bureaus.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1924-08-22
What do you mean?"

What do you mean?"
He replied: ut is a question be-
tween my honor and my bread and
butter, and I propose to vote for my
bread and butter" And he voted
against the bill.
Assemblymen F. was nominated
by a convention that was over
whelmingly for the direct primary.
1t adopted a platform specifically
pledging the nominee to support the
direct primary bill, and F., the can
didate, formally accepted and agreed
faithfully to carry out the instruc-
tons of the convention.
During the all-night session in the
Assembly on the primary bill, F.
was called from the floor into the
clerks room by a member of the
Senate who offered him $500 to vote
against the bill.
F. told the lobbyist that he would
not dare to go back to his con-
stituents if he voted against the bill,
as he had solemnly promised them
when nominated to vote for it.
F.. said he would like to do any
thing the Senator wanted him to
and he would like the $500, but he
did not dare to violate his pledge.
After more of this talk they left the
clerks room. The room was not
lighted.
At the time there was lying on
lounge in that room Assemblyman
G.. who was Ill and had been
brought from a sick room to attend
upon this important session.
He recognized F's voice and also
