GOV. TOWNSEND BACKS POLICY Governor Defends New Deal In Speech At Democratic Rally PrincAti nd., Oct. 21.--<U.K The state of Indiana is going alu_ with the national administration step by step, not “frightened by the dying trumpetings of the Republican elephant,” Gov. M. Clifford Townsend told a Gibson county Democratic rally here last night. "Whether Mr. Hoover likes it or not, the people of the United States and Indiana are standing by the new deal and Franklin D. Roosevelt,” Townsend said. Pointing out the achievements of the present state administration, Gov. Townsend said where the Republican state administrations “were too involved in political feuds and scandals to help the people. we have obtained results." The new deal. Townsend said, is greater than the genius of its leaders and the political party that gave it to the nation. “The new deal is a state of mind, a belief in the abundant life for all people. “For many years under decadent Republican rule, it was assumed that only the wealthiest and most powerful were entitled to the benefits given society .n science and industry. Democracy was more than a meaningless word. “But our people awoke to the realization that they had a powerful weapon no one could deny them. It was the ballot. The ballot became the instrument of freedom in 1932. Each successive election the people have used that bal-' lot to drive out the black forces of reaction.” — o PLAN SITE FOR DALHOVER TRIAL Scene Os Gangster’s Trial To Be Announced At Washington Fort Wayne, Oct. 21.—<U.R> —An announcement on the site of trial for James Dalhover, 31-year-old “triggerman” of the Brady gang, probably will be made today by Attorney-General Homer S.

Slick at South Bend, that federal authorities in Washington had informed him that they would decide within 24 hours whether a state or federal court would prosecute Dalhover.
