...different days, but those days had all been much the same to him. They would continue so, too, for he was a lifer. He would be there, in the common phrase, "from now on." Surely an unworthy end for David Curtis Stephenson who through many years had controlled the Indiana Ku Klux Klan which had controlled the politics of Indiana. In the Republican State Convention of 1924 he had patrolled the aisles of the convention hall with a gun on his hip. The men whom he had picked for office held office; the men whom he had opposed had been...

...City Manager system cannot take effect until Jan. 1, 1930, since the Indiana legislature recently amended the law dealing with changes in city government to stipulate that any change in Indianapolis could not become operative until the present group of city officials complete their elective terms. However, City Manager adherents hope to have this legislative action (which was pushed through purely as a life-saver for the city hall officials) declared unconstitutional. They talked also of bringing impeachment proceedings against Mayor John L. Duvall. The Mayor, elected in 1925 with the support of the Ku Klux Klan, will shortly...
