THE LESLIE ATTACK: Governor Leslie in his speech Monday night attempted to distress from a partisan attack on issues and singled out Colonel Paul V. McNutt, Democratic nominee for governor, whom he referred to as ‘‘professor'' for personal abuse and petty attacks. ’ The governor's popularity is probably due to a certain degree of brusqueness which he has demonstrated in public life find naturally he was expected to deliver a speech pleasing to Republicans and since its campaign time, resort to those petty remarks which seem to fit in and make the partisans smile. Issues weren't discussed. It was Professor McNutt who was on the carpet and the governor without attempting oratorical ability, or trying to wax eloquent when reaching a climax, gave a droll description of the Democratic nominee for governor and although abstaining frohi tilling his audience how to vote, talked against putting McNutt in the state house as chief executive. It may have been prejudice or a familiarity with the speaker's topic of discussion that made it sound siily. Governor Leslie has delivered the same speech whereever he has spoken. To bring up such trivial things are the charge that Colonel McNutt carried a railroad pass; accepted SSO in 1927 for making a patriotic address and that he wanted the governor s chair as a stepping stone to higher political office made it sound like a sorority meeting at which the girls were debating on the social qualifications of the proposed new mem Iters. You know how these meetings are. Read the pedigree of the aspirants and if no legitimate reason can be found, resort to a discussion of looks, relatives or the company one keeps. The truth of the matter is Paul McNutt is as clean a« a freshly baihed baby, is popular, able, experienced and the opposition admits that he is good looking, stately in appearance, can hold his own as a public speaker and just naturally looks like a governor. You can't penalize a man for that. No man Is so small or lacking in ambition that he does not aspire to Higher things. Governor Leslie may not know that many Republicans would like to see him a candidate against Senator Robinson for tfia Republican senatorial nomintaion two years hmtee But that’s in the distance, so why worry? The Republican nominee for governor was mentioned but without any enthusiasm. No applause Was occasioned by the mentioning his name. He is not well-known hut as far as being a good citizen, no one disputes. Judge Springer has learned to his awn sorrow and political education that he is being shoved aside for other candidates. which fact is proven in the opening of his own headquarters in Indianapolis. He can't help but realize that he is waging a fruitless battle and his friends will always feel that he was double-cross-ed by the Watson and Hoover organizations. Colonel McNutt's wide popularity

’ in Legion circles is proof that his buddies do not for one minute believe the insinuations made by Ret publican speakers. He has filled I every post in this great organiza- > tion with great honor, not only to 1 himself but in behalf of the men! 1 whom he represented as their I state and national commander. No i political campaign will take that ! record from him. Colonel McNutt is headed for the - governor's chair and his vote next ; Tuesday will be one of the pleasi ant surprises in Indiana politics. He will make a good governor, ; render efficient and worthy service! > to his state and will command the j • support of thousands of Hoosiers !' who want to help them because they like him and know he is made r of the right stuff. < — '-■ ■ ■■ — The gift of a hundred bushels of , potatoes to the needy of the com i munity by Chris Eicher, well-j , known citizen and always a good ; , fellow, was a splendid gesture, that all of us may well follow. In this , trying time we appreciate men who modestly and generously assist in . taking care of those more unfor-l tunate. While the situation here is nothing compared to the indue-; trial centers, it appears possible that several hundred families will have to he cared for and of course I they will be. In this land of plenty, where fruits and. vegetables are rotting on the ground, mere should ! certainly be no hungry people andif more will follow the example of Mr. Eicher, there won't be. Hoover continues to attack Mr. Roosevelt with personalities.; The reasons are plain. He prefers I that to discussing the issues. About

, Just one month ago, the people! t of Indiana were informed that the American Sheet and Tin Plate Company plant at Elwood would p reopen on a basis of forty percent: 1 opeiation, employing 1,200 meni - and scattering a payroll of $85,000 - in that city. The writer of that B propaganda was a professional s Washington political correspondt ent of an Indianapolis newspaper, bhich hurries Democratic ne&s.

all he can promise is a continuation of present conditions and present catering to the great Interests. He is answered by Governor Roosevelt I who offers his wonderful ability towards putting men back to work, limproving general conditions for farmer, merchant ana all others. Theie Is nothing to guess about. If you wish to continue the slow grind and the bunk about the gold standard, you will not favor a chance, but if you want the “new deal " and better times, vote for the Democratic candidates and get ■ every one else you can to do so. Clem Shaver, former chairman lof the national Democratic ticket visited here yesterday, after a scouting trip over several states, to report that the trend to Roosevelt is continuing unabated and to ; express the sincere opinion that ; the greatest victory ever accomi plished in this country, will result jnext Tuesday. Mr. Shaver is experienced and wise in politics and was a most interesting gentleman I with whom to converse. Mr. Byrd jwho was with him confirmed the | Shaver report and was most optimistic. You wi l enjoy the meetings in Jefferson and Monroe Friday night jif you will attend. James I. Farley will be the principal speaker at each place. He is the candidate tor congress and a splendid man. -Heir him and meet him and we arc sure you will agree. The Kirkland township meeting last night was a rousing ope that ; could leave no doubt in the minds lef those present as to the results ,in Adams county next Tuesday.

to his cabinet. They were as far apart as Calvin Coolidge and Franklin D. Roosevelt are today, only a good deal more vocal about it. The constitution authorizes the President to appoint heads of executive departments which may be created by law. During the nations life congress has created ten such executive departments. By custom the heads of these departments meet at the White House every Tuesday and Friday mornings. There is not more sanction in law for this than for the meeting of the gang which assembles in j the card room of the National Press Club every Saturday night. But each President has continued the custom of his predecessor. Secretary of Treasury Mills, an indefatigable worker, is exercising great care to separate his official duties from his campaign activ|ities. He has retained a steno(grapher not connected with the de partment and writes his campaign
