Hold Them Accountable ,
Urges Democrat Seeking
Seat in Senate.

By Times Special
RICHMOND, Ind, Jan. 18.-The
Republican party should be held to
"strict accountability for present
conditions in Indiana" declared Al
bert Stump, Indianapolis attorney
and Democratic candidate for
United States Senator, addressing
Wayne County Democrats at the
Jackson day banquet here Wednes-
day night.
"The idea of party responsibility
has grown strong in this country"
said Stump, the principal speaker
at the event. There is in it a
steadying influence in politics which
should never be weakened.
'It should not be forgotten by
the people that party organiza-
ton appealing to party instincts
and feelings, brought about the tri-
unphs of a ticket which made pos
sible the present conditions in In
diana.
I'm spite of the sophistry by which
the Republican party may seek to
evade that responsibility the public
should sternly hold them to a strict
accountability. That is the manner
in which the vigilance should be

ASK SUMMONS
FOR KLAN HEAD
Custer Complaint May Be
Fought; Service Hit.

Request for an additional sum-
mons against Hiram w. Evans of
Washington, D. c., and Atlanta, Ga,
imperial wizard of the Ku-Klux
Klan, in an custer suit brought by
the State has been filed in Circuit
Court by Attorney General Arthur
L. Gilliom. Additional summons
also will be issued for Joseph M.
Huntington, Indiana grand dragon.
The new service is returnable in
the court Feb. A. According to court
attaches, the defense can not be
ruled to answer any action taken in
the suit until the summonses are
returned.
Evans makes his home in Wash
ington, D. G. and Atlanta, Ga.
At the Sheriff'S Office it was said
that if the defendant lives outside
of the State it is necessary to serve
the notice by publication or through
the mails. Service then depends on
the courtesy of the sheriff in the
county of the State in which the de-
PENDANTS reside.
1t is believed the defense plans to
base litigation attacking the COM
plant on improper service.

IF a political organization, which

its hands, may, after such a record
as has been made in Indiana, still

Stump said the Republican organ

promises of a "house- cleaning" and
the "plausibility in their appeal for

Everything points to Dempsey's come
back and the stage is being carefully

the much-talked-of seventh round Of

This makes 1t appear as though Gene
was the recipient of a count close 10
the 100 mark. Then when Tunney'
rises, the picture is speeded up. This
may be meant to show that Tunney
travelled faster than he actually did.
Nothing is said about the countering
and stiff-armed blows the champion
used to keep the challenger off at arms
length.
The picture winds up with the seventh
round Why the next round. In which
Gene scored knock down, is not shown

picture.
Then there is the discussed
me-back Of Jack Sharkey. Surely his
quick Knockout over JACK Delaney is
not to go to waste. There was some
reason in bringing the pair together.
Sharkey is being talked about as an
opponent for Vittorio Compolo. the
young Argentine heavyweight. Does this
mean that Dempsey will get his fight
in September after all?
Dempsey is in active training for the
big show" This, according 10 his con-
tract, IS to be 2 play. II may be that

It is reasonably certain that Tunney
