"wets" and it's wet spots. But. taken
as a whole, Indiana has been politically
very dry. It has the most rigid dry
laws to be found.
Furthermore. the Anti-Saloon League
has been a power in politics here. Both
the league and the w. c. T. U. are
working hard for the election Of Mr..
Hoover and against Gov. Smith. 1t Is
the practice of the league to announce
its choice of candidates few days pc
fore election day. On the SUNDAY oe-
fore election the lists of candidates ap-
proved by the Anti-Saloon League are
read from many of the Protestant pull
pits throughout the State. The list
this year will carry strong indorSement
of Hoover and Curtis.
Rev e. S. Shumaker, superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League OF Indiana,
has lust returned to Indianapolis from
the shadow of the Indiana State farm,
to which he had been sentenced for 90
days because of contempt of the State
Supreme Court He was pardoned by
Gov. Jackson just as he was entering
the institution. However, Arthur M.
Gilliom, attorney general, has filed a
motion asking the court to make Shu-
maker serve his so days, notwithstand-
ing the pardon. of the governor, on the
ground that the governor has no buSi-
ness to interfere with the judiciary in
that manner. The court stood three
to two when 1t sentenced Shumaker,
and one Of the judges who voted with
the majority is up for reelection.
In the gubernatorial race 1t is pos
sible that the Anti-Saloon League will
give both candidates clean bill of
health. But the dry league is expected
to 60 the route for Senator Arthur
Robinson, who is up for reelection this
year. Robinson has been a stanch
friend of the dry league. Robinson is
opposed by Albert Stump, who came
within IL 1000 votes of defeating Sen
ator Watson in 1926. But the general
opinion in Indiana, both Republican
and Democratic, is that Robinson will
be the victor. Charge after charge has
been made against Robinson to the eff
feet that he has tied in with the Khan
and with Stephenson, but in spite of
these charges, Robinson appears to be
running strong. and 1t is said he will
poll nearly as many votes as Hoover on
election day Stump's campaign Is
criticized as too wishy washy to have
much effect.

its elections once more as the serious
occasion for demonstrating the ability
Of our people to maintain self-gov-
eminent, or have our elections In fact
degenerated into q sort OF sporting con-
test between rival groups Of politicians,
with half the population as amused,
but disinterested, bystanders? Is this
Republic alert, thriving. progressing or
satisfied. gluttonous and decadent? Do
we want Government by the majority
or TO be governed by q minority?
1t seems probable that our electoral
system, archaic as it may be In some
respects, will work out as desired In
this election, and give expression to the
will of the majority Of those who vote.
1t remains a question whether that
majority Will be a majority Of those
who could and should vote. There are
a few outstanding issues. There are
many other grave problems just ahead
There are well qualified and well known
candidates. Here is a Nation, leader
OF the world In intellect, liberty, wealth,
culture. Is 1t going forward through
the will OF its population of today, or
drifting on the momentum given by
driving forces Of a generation past?
Are we making our Nation, or accept
ing but the resources and blessings
handed to us by nature and by our
forebears?
1t Is too soon to pass any sort of
Judgment other than temporary on the
candidates and the issues of the hour.
lt is not too soon to realize that un-
less our elections are complete and
free expression of the whole body of
the people, our democracy is slipping
backward. our Republic Is In danger

 Improvement in health and morale of the prisoners and pros pect of early material benefits to the State are among the fac tors that have convinced the Warden, he says, that the State did not err when it removed it's prisoners from the coal mines and put them to work for the State.
 Last March the Warden and 23 convicts pitched camp. on the 3,640 acre tract 10 miles from here that since has been trans formed into an extension prisoni farm. There are approximately 500 prisoners on the farm now.
