eve have nothing to fight for"
This was the word passed out in
the ranks of Otis Dodson's political
faction today as election day nears.
Several members of the old Dod-
son faction, that functioned until
the primary when all of the candi-
dates supported by this group were
wiped from the states with the ex-
ception of Coroner Charles Keever,
have attempted to reorganize. The
purpose of the organization was to
be a fight on George v. Collins
political faction until the returns
were in.
There is a possibility of ne resig-
nation of at least one member Of
the county council before Jan. l. If
this occurs, combined with the pos
sibile election of John E. Shearer,
councilman, and candidate for
county commissions with Coffin sup
port, Dodson faction members indi-
Gated there might be reorganiza-
ton of the group.
II Cnere are no reSlgnaClonS from
the county council before Shearer
is elected and takes Office, there is
no chance for Dodson to gain
control.
If Shearer is made commissioner,
there will be three members Of the
Coffin faction in Office and three
from the Dodson group in the coun-
Gil. This, it is predicted, unless
some one who is agreeable to both
groups is nominated-which is not
deemed likely-means the council
may consist of six members for per-
hapS many months.
This situation occurred four years
ago when CassiuS L. Hogle was
elected out of the council to the

MERIDIAN BUS
PLEA HINGES ON
CITY'S DECISION
Public Service Chief viii
Confer With Slack on
Route Change.

Howell Ellis, public service COM
missioner, who presided at the hear
ing on petition of the Peoples
Motor Coach Company for bus
routes on North Meridian street,
will investigate city ordinances COW
ering the matter and also may con-
fer with Mayor l.. Ert Slack, he an
nounced today.
It is considered likely that I'M
less there is objection from city
authorities, the petition will be
granted. It will take Riverside
buses off Delaware street and place
them on Meridian to Thirtieth and
inaugurate a new line to Butler
university.
Hearing on the petition was held
in the house of representatives
Wednesday. About Seventy-f1ve cit
liens attended the morning and
afternoon sessions. Only objections
to the move came from the Hoosier
Motor Club, whose offices are on
North Meridian street, and r. H.
Losey of the Losey-Nash company.
Secretary Tod Stops of the Hoo
Ter Motor Club was tangled badly
in cross-questioning on the witness
stand at the forenoon session.
David A. Watson, attorney for the
indianapolis Street Railway Com
pany, which owns the bus lines, got
Stops to admit that stops on North
Meridian street by the wide buses
was his main objection to opening
the street to such traffic. Then he
said that most people on the street
would, not ride the buses. Then
there will be no stops, Watson
pointed out.
Superintendent James P. Tretton
of the company said they were ready
to put ten brand new buses in
operation on the new Butler line as
soon as the move is approved,

COUNTY TO ASK FOR
RIVER FLOOD BONDS
Draft Ordinance for 100000 Issue
on White Project.

Draft Ordinance for 100000 Issue
on White Project.
An ordinance for a bond issue of
about 100000 to pay part of the
county's share of the White river
flood prevention project will be pre-
sented to county council Nov. g..
Harry Dunn, county auditor, said
the total to be paid by the county
is $625,OO0, but that the county will
save money on the interest cost if
only part of the amount is issued
at one time.
The second issue will be asked
during the next six months, Dunn
said. The total cost of the project
will be $1,366,501.45, according to
figures compiled. This will cover
the cost of widening the river
channel, building a new bridge at
Morris street and construction of a
levee from Morris to Raymond
streets.

functioned for three months with
only six members. Later a seventh
member was named for the vacant
place.
Paul S. Dunn, councilman, may
be made a defendant in custer pro-
ceedings brought in circuit court.
Recently an effort was made by
Frank j. Mccain, Dodson employe
in the surveyors Office, to have
Dunn ruled ineligible because he
was alleged not to have owned real
estate in the county when elected.

Something" About Aviation.

"A universal sigh of thanksgiving" says the
New York Herald-Tribune will greet the news
that Major ldzekowski and Major Kubala, the
two Polish flyers were pulled out of the water
alive after their failure to fly the Atlantic.
But the disappointment will remain acute"
continues that newspaper There was some
thing about the adventure of these two quiet
but intrepid souls that rendered it intensely
dramatic, :" and (which reminded us of a
young man named Lindbergh."
But why not tell what the Something" was,
that rendered this adventure so intensely
dramatic to the Herald Tribune?
The mysterious something" is the simple
fact that the clumsy aviators are two famous
fascist military Adventures who attempted the
flight for political purposes. And the political
motive was the hope for blare of publicity
and laudation of the bloody fascist regime in
Poland, the opportunity for which would have
been given by a successful landing in the
United States, the land of dollars which can
under favorable circumstances be borrowed in
preparation for reactionay war.
The strangely inarticulate emotion of the
reactionary Herald-Tribune, organ of the Cool
ldge-Hoover dynasty, is understandable when
we realize that it is necessary to make the
bloody fascist government of Poland popular if
it is to be useful as one of the first instruments
for war against the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics.
The two professional white guards had at
tended to their political atmosphere much bet
ter than they knew how to cope with the atmos-
phere over the Atlantic
