AAA COrn-HOg Payments
May Be Aid to Durgan
Federal Checks for Second
District Ready for
Next Month.

Distribution of Federal corn-hog
checks in the Second Congressional
District early next month is ex-
pected to do its part for Democracy
by swinging the special election
scheduled in the only district to
elect a Republican congressman in
the November election.
The special election, of course, is
necesSitated by the death nine
days after his election of Frederick
Lands, Logansport Mr.. Lands de-
feated George R. Durgan, Lafayette,
incumbent Congressman, who again
will make the race, this time against
Charles Halleck, Rensselaer,.
There was much ado as soon after
Mr.. Lands death as good taste per-
mitted. Much Wonderment was ex-
pressed as to when the special cleo
ton would be set by Gov. Paul V.
McNutt.
The Governor said it was his be-
lief that no vacancy could exist
legally in the Indiana Congressional
delegation, until after Congress con-
veneS Jan. 3.
Actually, of course, there was a
vacancy as soon as Mr.. Lands died,
but the Governor held to the theory
+I,o4 1ooo1I4, +I7o7o xr,ocY7;+ q vooo17ov
until the lower house assembled and
there were only IL Representatives
there instead of the II to which the
state is entitled.
The Governor since has been sup
ported in his attitude by ali Off
cial opinion from Atty. Gen. Philip
Lutz which holds that the Governor
can not take judicial cognizance of
the vacancy, and set the election,
until after Jan. 3.
This was just what the Governor
had contended all along, so now
everything's legal and shipshape
The Governor said today the cleo
ton will be held either Jan. q or
Jan. 20.
However, the Republicans, and
even some of the more cynical
among the Democrats, can't see eye
to eye with the Governor and Mr..
Lutz
They know that the Second Dis
trict, normally Republican, is heav-
lily agricultural in makeup and
they're not forgetting the fact that
the corn-hog checks distribution
may put the electorate in a rather
complaisant attitude toward Mr..
Durgan.

In a murder case, the English
never proceed on suspicion or
with the mere hope Of making a
case. No prosecution is started
until the officers are morally GER
tain they have a very good case.
The police contribute their part
and Sir Bernard does his bit.
On the stand he is the perfect
witness. He never raises his low
pitched voice. He is always cour-
teous and fair. He never gets eX-
cited under the heated cross-eX-
animation of the lawyers for the
defense.
He tells what he knows and
only what he can prove. If there
is anything in his investigations
that is a point for the defense, he
does not conceal it. Such a dis
passionate witness remains I'M
shaken and unshakable. When he
is through, he goes gladly back to
his handsome home in one of the
northern suburbs of London.
CRIMINALS fear him like the
~ devil. He has a way of de-
moliShing all their fine-spun
stories. His exhibition of the facts
lays them wide open to the most
grilling kind of cross examination

their own defense. They are con-
fronted by data they can't explain
