D. ©. Stephenson is being tried on the charge of murdering a woman, but his briand of politics goes marching on. His un derstudy, Cap Coffin, of Indianapolis, won Indianapolis by the election of John Duvall and other cities, including Muncie, were added to his string of conquests. Coffin and Duvall are the “great blaniffs” of the Indian apolis Klan and Hampton and the Billy Williams crowd will take orders from Coffin. “Silk Spurgeon,” newly elected mayor of Kokomo, is a Coffin-Stephenson klanman, and Dr. E. M. Williams and his en tire republican slate, elected at Anderson, are Stephensonians. The apparent victory for the democrats at Marion is in reality a defeat. The Coffin-Duvall-Stephenson outfit were be hind the democrat who was elected mayor. The Klan may be dead as an organization, but the brand of politics inaugurated by D. C. Stephenson goes marching on. If Stephenson had stayed sober and had not got himself in his present jam, he and not Cap Coffin, would he the leader. Coffin, Duvall and the others who now pose as leaders, were errand boys for Stephenson. It will all come out in the wash. Hats off to Court Asher Court battled openly and fear lessly all day Tuesday for the democratic city ticket. Until two years ago he was the most notorious and open violator of the state and national liquor laws in the state of Indiana. He quit the game cold and we believe he will become a useful citizen, deserving of all the encouragement that can be given him by the best people of Muncie.
