DEAN SHOEMAKER PRAISES M’CRAY

CITES HIS SUPPORT OF EQUAL SUFFRAGE AND EDUCATIONAL MATTERS. Carolyn E. Shoemaker, dean of women and. professor of English and literature at Purdue university, in a letter given out from headquarters of Warren T. McCray, candidate for the gubernatorial nomination on the republican ticket, praises Mr. McCray’s record in supporting equal suffrage and his championship of educational matters. Her letter is as follows: “It was my good fortune to be the chairman of the northwest section of Indiana in the 1918 campaign for suffrage. Brook was in my district. Thus it fell to my lot to address the republican convention at - George Ade’s farm. Warren McCray was in charge and gave me every assurance that the republicans would support us. And they did! “Now that we have made so much headway, all things seem to point to Mr. McCray as the logical candidate to further the good work. He has pledged his word to support us. Then why not give him the chance? As governor of the state of Indiana he will connect everything have contended for in the with all that we hope for in the future. . “And may I call to mind that Warren McCray has served with distinction as trustee of Purdue university? Every teacher, every friend of education, will find a champion in Warren • McCray—and heaven knows that we need one!”
