Let Frank Dailey do the cleanup work and restore the good name of Indiana. If you didn't have water in your , cellar this morning you need not i worry about floods. The lawns and trees look green, the flowers have come out in all their ' glory and everything makes it a ' wonderful May day. 1 — .• i Captain Eddie Rickenbacker pre- i diets that by 1950, there will be fift* i million automobiles in the United 1 States. If that's the case let's start t building upper and lower deck roads, i limiting traffic to one way. 1 j The big Kentucky derby is on to- , day and thousands of race track fans from all over the country gathered , at Churchill Downs to see the event. ’, The track will more than likely be ! ( heavy, the odds being on the colt that , can wade through the mud. t ’— 1 That was some rain. We didn't order such a heavy downpour, bgt the 1 weather man believed in good meas-1' I ures and aside from the river going out of banks and the cellars being i flooded the damage was small. The I I pasture fields will be benefited and with a few days of warm weather the ' crops will shoot up like magic. 1 It now develops that more than - $32,008 was spent in behalf of Senator Jim Watson s campaign in Indiana. The Kitelsmau Brothers gave I $15,000 and other contributions rang ed down to $2.00. Charges of vote buying and other accusations are being made by the opposition and the Senators may have to explain. "Big Bill'' Haywood, notorious exile died in Moscow, Russia, yesterday. Haywood, convicted in Chicago in 1921, skipped out of the country rather than serve a 20-year sentence. He left his family in the United States and word from him was that he was an unhappy man. He was a man without a country and his few hours on earth must have brought to him the wish that he stayed in America, taken his medicine or lived in away so that the courts would not have demanded a penalty from him. The Van Sweriiigeu Brothers will be peimitted to merge the Pere Marquette railroad with the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, two important eastern lines. Tlie commission refused permission to merge these raods witli the Erie, on the grounds that the consolidation of these three roads would not. be in the public interest. The Van Sweringens have done wonderful things in railroad consolidations and the next few years will more than likely see a further development of their properties. The Democratic State committee has done the expected thing and at the same time the wise thing by reelecting its executive chiefs — Chairman R. Earl Peters,' Vice-Chairman, Mrs. A. I’. Flynn and Secretary, Marshall Williams. This admires that the work of the state committee and the activities in state headquarters will go forward without interruption. A change in

theae important posts would have meant a serious halt in activities while new heads of the party organization were getting themselves installed, acquainting themselves with . their tasks and surveying the party • situation in the state. The work of Ihe state organization , will continue to move and with increasing momentum as the campaign is approached. Chairman Peters has been diligent during recent months getting about the state and learning what the situation is throughout Indiana. He will not be remiss in any duty which falls upon him, but he cannot do all that must be done. This has all the signs of a Democratic year in Indiana and it will be a Democratic year if the men and women of the party arouse themselves to understanding and give the state organization all the aid that can be rendered. Vice-Chairman Flynn has been in her position for several years and is known and admired in every part of Indiana. She has done much to get the Democratic women of the state interested in their political opportunities and duties and active in behalf of the party. Secretary Williams, during his two years at state headquarters, has proved himself both efficient and zealous. His uniform courtesy no less than his signal ability , has been of immense help to the party. In less than three weeks the Demo- ■ cratic state convention will have ■ come and gone and the business of. winning the election will then be I under way. The prospect is as good j as it could be at this distance from j the election, but not so good as to j lead any Democrat into fatuous belief ! that victory can be won easily. There will be no soft time for the Indiana Democracy through this campaign. A hard light is ahead and must be made. In this connection it may be well to say that the state organization cannot wage war without a war chest. Chairman Peters and the state committee will need all the money they are likely to get. That should be kept in mind. —The Jounral-Gazette. ——o ♦ ¥¥¥¥¥**¥¥¥»♦ * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * »*«**¥¥¥¥¥¥¥» SATURDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAF —Hookup 7 pm. National Symphony orchestra.
