NEW YORK, Nov. H. Charged

Augustus Is used to being alone,
For 10 years he has lived nlysteri-

Ne spoke only when spoken to by
his neighbors For the most part,
he spent the days creaking in his
rocking chair dreaming Of an adj
venturous past.
saThe Grand Old Man Of Fulton
Street" as they called him, had
served 10 years in the British navy
when a seaman was a seaman. He
had also seen lifetime of action in
more countries than one could
name, as corporal In the British
army.
There has also been romance in
Augustus life. He has had three
wives. They are all dead now, he
said.

The late James G.. Blaine, in his

There have been no colored men

terest among local colored people.
The Washington times., 1928-11-12

The younger element. trained IN
schools and colleges. Is against what
they call an unframed man repre-
senting them. That attitude was
taken by the younger set and sev.
eral newspapers in Chicago. last
summer, when they urged that
DePriest stand aside for some other
coIored man.
Older men think that DePriest
should be recognized for what he
has been in colored political cir
cles Ia the Windy City, and are
inclined to see iii his indictment
BY q special grand jury investi-
eating charges Of election frauds
in the municipal campaign, merely
an effort to keep a cOlored man
out Of Congress.
DePriest is represented by two
Of the best lawyers In Chicago, one
Of his own group and Clarence
barrow. and the case against MIN
is now IN the state Supreme Court
where it is being contested.
In 1904 DePriest was first elected
al Cook county commission ana
served for four years. Az q regular
organization man he was made the
races first alderman in that city BY
election IN 1915, IN which position he
remained three years. He now has
the distinction OF being the first OF
his race to be elected to Congress
from 4 Northern State.
He polled 23,141 votes As against
ID. 261 for his Democratic opponent
and 4,0g8 for HARRISON who ran az
an independent against him.
Population Of District
The district Of Chicago from which
DePriest comes comprises the First

II CANDIDATES
FOR GOVERNOR
WAIT VERDICT
Nomination Finally May Be
Thrown to Conventions
of Both Parties.

Seventeen gubernational candi-
dates, ten Republicans and seven
Democrats, today placed their fate
in the hands of the voters for the
verdict Of Tuesdays primary.
Because of the large number seek
ing the nomination in each party
there appeared every prospect none
would receive the majority needed
for nomination. Unless any one
candidate in either party receives
more votes than all his opponents
in the party, the nomination de-
wolves upon the State convention OF
the party without regard for the
primary balloting.
In the 1924 primary, six Republi-
can candidates polled 413,222 votes
and eight Democrats, 277,619.
Five candidates seeking nomina-
ton for Governor will conclude
their campaigns with radio addresses
from local stations tonight. Earl
Crawford and Frank c. Daley
Democrats, will be heard from
WFBM at $50 and $50 p. m. re-
spectively. Charles Jewett. Repub-
lican. will be heard from the same
station at 8 p. m.
Frederick E. Schortemeier, secre-
tary of State, Republican candidate
for Governor, will speak from
WKBF at p. m. and Thomas H
Adams, Republican, fiery anti-cor-
ruptionist, from the same station at
9 p. m. Adams has announced he
will deal exclusively with the polit-
zeal situation in Marion County. and
his friends are expecting him TO
make vigorous final onslaught
against political corruption and ma
chine rule.
Scion J. Carter. opponent of Sen
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-05-07

ator Arthur r. Robinson and Attor-
ney General Arthur L. Gilliom, for
the Republican nomination for
United States Senator, will make
his final campaign speech from
WKBF at $50 tonight.
The three-sided race for this
nomination also will wind up in the
State Republican convention unless
one of the three achieves a majority
in the primary.
Although there are three aspirants
for the Democratic senatorial NOM
nation, Albert Stump, Walter Myers
and L. William Curry, this nomina-
ton, politicians believe. probably
will be effected in the primary.
A bare plurality is sufficient for
nomination for Congressman from
the Seventh District, so that the
primary has an aspect of hnality in
this division. Six Republicans are
contesting with Ralph E. Updike, IN
cumbent, for the Republican nom
ination, while only three are in the
Democratic race. Louis Ludlow,
Henry w. Winkler and Byron Horn.
Pluralities are sufficient to bring
about nominations for the State
Legislature and county Offices. Mar
ion County is to nominate eleven
from each party for State Repre-
sentative, four for State Senator
and one each for Joint State Rep
resentative and Joint State Senator
from Marion and Johnson Counties.

ity of children surmount the diff
f1cultieS, but some make no progress
and come to be regarded as stupid
or even feebleminded.
Such a child at fourteen years
may still be unable to distinguish
between b and d, or he may never
have established in his brain the
proper associations between a hard
and a soft G, or he may never have
fully overcome the tendency found
in 30 per cent of kindergarten
children to read from right to left,
instead of left to right.
Such children generally see and
hear normally, and they may be
trained to develop the proper as
sociations in reading by using diff
ferent methods. of teaching, such as
tracing the letters with their fingers
so that they feel the difference in
their muscles.
Pupils Not Stupid
Teachers are wrong to regard
such children as stupid or unwill-
ing to learn, Dr.. Orion said. Neu-
rologists have made kreat progress
with reading difficulties and with
speech difficulties, and also with the
type of child that is CLUMSY and
does not control his body in normal
fashion. Whether neurologists can
control the three disabilities COM
bined together, DR.. Orion said could
not be promised.
Teaching reading to children by
the entirely visual method is abso-
lutely wrong, DR.. Bernard Sachs, of
New York, declared in discussing
DR.. Orton's report and commencing
it.

get from the whole United States.
They all say it is the most effective
compound they have ever tried.
Of the many Indianapolis citizens
who have Endorsed Konjola, there
is probably. no one better known
throughout this whole section than
Mr.. H. H. Thompson, O. popular
vaudeville comedian generally
known as the Komedy King
Komedian. Mr.. Thompson is a
resident of Indianapolis and his
home is at 720 Lincoln St., this city.
His statements telling of the bene-
fits he derived from this celebrated
compound reads as follows:
"A medicine that will do what
Konjola did for me surely deserves
public praise and 1 am glad to tell
of my experience with this remark
able medicine" reads Mr.. Thomp-
sons statement.
During the 1928 season
suffered a nervous collapse. which
the doctor told me was caused from
an liberated stomach and gastritis.
At first I thought I would be
compelled to cancel all my engage
mentS for the season, but thanks to
Konjola, I was only away from the
stage for three weeks My stomach
was in such disordered condition
that my breakfast would never
digest and as a result 1 would have
to vomit nearly every morning be-
fore 1 could get from the restaurant
to the hotel This would always
happen on an empty stomach. My
other meals would remain IN my
stomach. but cause me a lot of
misery from indigestion and gas
bloating. 1 was feeling half-sick
most of the time and could not put
the right kind Of pep and en-
thuSiasm in my work.
Il had been doctoring for several
months and finally got to feeling so
bad that 1 was forced to stay in
bed and I thought 1 would have to
give up my work for the balance of
the season. Then started to take
Konjola and the relief this medicine
gave me was really surprising. Be-
fore the first bottle was gone, l was
able to eat any time I wanted and
everything stayed on my stomach
And I could eat full meal without
fear of suffering from indigestion
pain and gas bloating afterward
Within three weeks time l was
strong enough to return to my work
and all signs of nervousness had
disappeared. My health in general
is now better than it has been fol
several years. I have new life
energy and plenty of pep, which
makes my work all the more pleas
ant.
"Konjola certainly ended my
stomach trouble and built me ur
better than any medicine I hac
tried before. I strongly indorse il
to anyone suffering the miseries Of
an upset stomach"
The Konjola Man is at Hooks
drug store, Illinois and Washington
SITS. indianapolis, where he is daily
meeting the public and introducing
and explaining the merits of this
remedy Konjola is sold by every
Hook drug store in this city and by
all druggists throughout this Sec
tion.-Adyertisement.
