who presided in the absence of the
chairman. it was decided that no
compromise with the bank will be
made and that the farmers will
force the bank to collect in the
legal manner, that is, through the
court.
To this end it was decided to re-
tain Charles l.. Brown as attorney
for the farmers.
The meeting resolved to assess
each member of the organization of
farmers having given notes of 50
each, as there are enough people in
terested in the notes so that this
charge will cover all expenses.
1t was therefore decided to solicit
membership from all those men
whose names appear on the list of
those involved and the following
membership committee was named:

There is no change in our Congressional
Delegation but We have a new United
States Senator, Arthur H. Vanderburg, of
Grant Rapids. Eleven OF our thirteen
Congressman are considered dry The
two considered wet are both from the city
of Detroit. The new Senator, Mr.. Van
derburg, is dry and an ardent supporter
of the prohibition cause.
There is little change in our State
Legislature affecting prohibition enforce
ment Whatever change there is it is for
the better We will have between
seventy-hVe to eighty dry members in our
next House of Representatives, consist
ing of one hundred members. The rest
might be classed as vets or Semi-Wets. OF
the thirty-two members of the State
Legislature it is safe to say that twenty
five could be depended upon in any rea-
sonable prohibition measure that might
come before them.
Most of the county prosecutors eve
have no city prosecutors) are favorably
inclined toward the prohibition law.
The unofficial returns tabulated the
night after election gives 843015 votes to

there has been constant changes until the

INDIANA
&c. S. SHUMAKER, supt)

The election in Indiana resulted in the
reelection of Arthur R. Robinson to the
United States Senate by a plurality of
1615 36 votes Robinson was the dry
leader in the Indiana Senate in 1917
when Indiana went dry. His opponent,
MI Albert Stump, was also dry.
Two changes occur in the delegation to
the National House of Representatives
from Indiana In the Third District,
James M. Dunbar, a former Congressman
with a dry record, defeated Frank Gard
ner, present dry Congressman. In the
Seventh District, Ralph e. Updke, pres
ent Republican dry Congressman, was de-
1eated by Louis Ludlow. eX-President Of
the American Press Association, a Demo-
erat, who is also dry.
Indiana is the biggest state in the
Union that has maintained since 1916
solid dry delegation in the Congress of
the United States and shall continue this
solid dry delegation for at least another
two years.
Harry j. Leslie, Republican. elected
Governor. Edgar H. Bush, Republican,
lieutenant Governor elect, Otto Fif1eld,
Republican, Secretary of State elect, and
James M. Ogden. Republican, Attorney
General elect, are all dry Of record.
Judge David A Myers, of the Supreme
Court who was opposed by the drys for
reelection because of his liberal deci-
sions, was reelected in the tremendous
Hoover landslide although by majority
of $4,000 below that of the balance of his
ticket.
The incoming Indiana Legislature will
be overwhelmingly dry in both of its
branches. Prosecuting Attorneys as
rule are dry, as are Circuit Court Judges
and Sheriffs.
Indianas majority for Hoover was 282,-
583, the same being the largest majority
ever cast for a presidential candidate, and
exceeding the majority given Calvin Co..
Idge four years ago by over 10000.

county and city officials slightly improved
the personnel for administering the dry
laws in this state.
Our opinion as to the effect of the Hoo
yer vote in this state or the national pro-
hibition situation comedies precisely with
the statement made public by DR.. F. Scott
Mcbride, which was published throughout
the nation last Wednesday. We believe
that had the vets carried the state and
the nation they would have broadcast
around the world that America had
repudiated prohibition, as they had pre-
viously declared that the coming election
was to be a rational referendum on the
wet and dry issue. Consequently, one
can not overlook the significance of the
overwhelming victory for Hoover as in
dicative of general satisfaction with pro-
hibition on the part of the people of the
nation.

Iowa's congressional delegation, in
Guiding United States Senators, is COM
posed entirely of drys. Two new members
were elected to this body during the re-
cent election, both of whom are dry. This
state is probably represented by the driest
delegation ever assembled under the
capitol dome at Washington.
The state legislature has been little
changed by the recent election, and still
maintains an overwhelmingly dry ma
jority
Referring to county and city prosecu-
tors throughout the state, a hasty check
up on the election returns discloses that
while the majority of them are satisfac-
tory, yet in a few communities candidates
were elected who are unsympathetic to-

opinion that the election of other state,
