of their opposition to these two issues.

feated the Judge by 235 votes. but
that the totaling Of the voters was
incorrect, and they did not have an
opportunity for a recount.
Dry Strength in House.
All of the Republican nominees for
the House are called "satisfactory"
by the drys, and even one Of the Dem
ocratic nominees. supported by the
wet association, William Wilson. in
the first district, is believed to be "all
right" on the liquor question by the
drys. His Republican opponent, Rep
resentative Rowbottom. however, has
been an extreme dry.
Generally speaking from the stand
point of the dry leaders in this State
much of the dry vote is going to Rob
inson and Watson in the senatorial
fight because of their strong dry rec
ords." This even though the Demo-
Gratis are held to be satisfactory.
The drys are particularly proud or
the Indiana prohibition enforceMent
act. Under this law it is illegal to
have liquor in the home. even though
it be pre- prohibition stock. and no
druggist can fill a prescription for
whisky or other intoxicating bev-
erages. The right Of search for liquor
has been extended, a nd the drys insist
that in a large part OF the State the
prohibition law is vigorously enforced.
Tariff Made an Issue.
The tariff issue has been raised
here and the Republicans are declar-
ing their joy over it, The Democrats.
however, insist that frye trade, as the
Republicans wish to make it appear,
is not their issue. What they want Is
a modification of the protective tariff.
Mr.. Woollen. particularly, has given
his attention to the tariff issue for tlae
Democrats. He admits that the pro-
tective tariff has become principle In
this country and cannot be cut OF at
one fell swoop. He insists. however,
that there should be tariff revision
from the high rates imposed by the
Fordney -McCumber act.
The Democrats are attacking the
Republican State administration on
the ground Of extravaganza and high
taxation. They say that the total
taxes collected in one year will
amount now to about four times what
was collected under the last Demo-
cratic State administration. They
charge excessive expenditures for
highways and say that the Repub-
licans have increased the number OF

> INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. October Is
The grand jury investigating alleged
corruption in Indiana politics. today,
summoned for the second time Thorn
as H. Adams, publisher of the Vim
cennes Commercial. Adams charges
that high officeholders bargained COR
ruptly for political support with D. c.
Stephenson, former grand dragon Of
the ku Klux klan, eliminated in the
grand jury probe.
The publisher was the first witness
called last Tuesday when the investi-
cation was started and a subpoena
was issued calling him to appear
again today.
William H. Remy, prosecutor, and
Attorney General Gilliom, Remys spe-
cial assistant in the investigation, ex-
pressed the hope that Mildred Meade
23-year-old girl. who is said to have
been a confidante of Stephenson. could
also be brought in to testify. She has
been missing from her home here
since last Friday.
Stephenson Is Reticent.
Apparently having gained little in
formation from Stephenson himself
when the ex.Klan leader was brought
from the State prison Wednesday. Of
f1cials turned their attention today to
persons who were close to him before
he was convicted of numbering Madge
OberholtZer and sent to prison for life.
Subpoenas were issued for several of
Stephenson's friends.
Adams has alleged that Stephenson
has concealed somewhere informa-
tion that will substantiate every AL
legation of graft made. Remy and
his colleagues declared they were
making every effort to locate such
evidence.

Democrat Of Missouri, in the Indiana
situation to the extent of having
him bring his senatorial investigating
