Indianapolis Tavern Poll For Ike, Tucker

By SAM NEWLUND United Press Staff Correspondent INDIANAPOLIS (ts) —Pass the booze and ballot box, Mabel, I feel a landslide coining on. Cocktails and candidates get mixed up daily in downtown Indianapolis in a merry takeoff on election day madness. The gimmick is simple: Buy a "campaign cocktail" (any mixed drink) at the Circle Tavern and you’re entitled to "vote” for president and governor. You can stuff the ballot box all you want—as long as you "register” for each ballot by buying a drink. The results so far besides hangovers for voters and extra cash jingling in the bar owner’s pocket: With only six days to go before the real-for-sure polls open, supporters of President Eisenhower out-drank Adlai Stevenson boosters 3 to 2. Total consumption: 4,187 drinks. But in the governor race, Democrat Ralph Tucker led Harold Handley by almost the same margin—s 6.4 per cent—with 3,962 votes tabulated. Rigged for Tucker? So what does this prove? At least one Republican swears the vote is rigged for Tucker. But tavern owner Bob McKinney, who dreamed up this mixture of liquor and politics, says nonsense. Does this mean Tucker attracts the drinking trade? But if he does so does Mr. Eisenhower, the “experts” reasoned. McKinney, a twinkle in his eye because of what he says is a 15 per cent increase in business, claims it’s more than just a gag. In 1952, when the tavern took votes only on the presidential race, Mr. Eisenhower defeated Stevenson in the swiggle-stick sweepstakes with 63 per cent of the vote. On election day Mr. Eisenhower carried Indiana by an identical margin—63 per cent. McKinney leaned back and said: “Just wait and see." He claims his poll will be accurate and he’ll vote the way the poll dictates. “I couldn’t go against my own poll,” says McKinney. No Vote for a Beer Mr. Eisenhower has led Stevenson and Tucker has led Handley ever since the big tally boards were installed on the tavern wall Sept. 4. « No sooner do you cast yotir ballot than your vote is announced over a loud speaker—with an accompanying chorus of boos and applause. Gag or not, many patrons stop in from time to time just to see how the voting is i, going. Tucker himself happened in one day just to look around and chided that his margin would be e v e n larger if a beer—instead of a more expensive mixed drink—w ou 1 d qualify a patron for voting, McKinney said. There’s always somebody who

stuffs himself and the ballot box in an obvious move for a landslide—or maybe he “writes in” fictitious names on his ballot. There have been a number of "write in” ballots, McKinney said, but not one in favor of the Prohibition party candidates. Pope Issues Appeal For End To Fighting Direct Appeal Made To Involved Nations VATICAN CITY (UP) Pope Pius XII appealed today for an end to fighting in the Middle East. In a direct appeal to the leaders of the nations involved in the Suez conflict, the pontiff warned that “a war, started as a little spark, can spread into an enormous fire.” The Pope made his appeal, which did not put the blame for the Mideastern war on either side, in an encyclical opening a worldwide crusade of prayer for peace in the Middle East as well as Hungary. “It is not with arms, not with slaughter, not with ruins that disputes between men are solved, but only through reason, law, prudence and equity," the Pope said. "Let those who hold in their hands the fate of peoples remember that no lasting good can ever arise from war but only a great quantity of evils and calamities." Dedicate Church Parsonage Sunday The members and friends of the Missionary church announce that Sunday will be the day for the formal dedication and open house of the newly constructed parsonage at 651 North 10th St. The home was constructed this past summer under the direction of Chalmer Barkley. It consists of three bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, bath and half bath, study, attached garage, and full basement. The construction is wood frame with stone front. Hie home is electrically heated. A short service of dedication will be held following the 10 o’clock morning worship hour. The dedicatory prayer will be given in front at the home. Open house will be held Sunday afternoon from 2 until 5. The friends of the Decatur area are invited to attend the dedication service and also inspect the new parsonage during the afternoon hours.
