ASKS REBUKE OF GOODRICHM'CRAY CREW McCulloch in Final Statement Reviews G. O. P. Acts in Indiana. HITS TAX LAW AGAIN In a final message to the voters of Indiana, Dr. McCulloch, Democratic nominee for Governor, and a veteran of the World War, declared In a statement la■ued here today that ’‘if the past btate administration has been satisfactory, I want you to vote the Kepubllcnn ticket. After showing that the Goodrich administration has been undemocratic, the candidate urged the Republicans themselves to mi seat the McCrays, the Goodrich# and the Watsons, and concluded with an appeal to the people to “vote with the party that stands for home ruie in matters of government, for lower taxation, for economy and business methods in State management, and for the promotion of harmony between capital and labor, with a full regard for the equal rights of each.” Dr. McCulloch’s statement is as follows; . . , The campaign this fall has ceased to be & campaign. . It has been glorified Into a crusade. The moral Issues Involved go far beyoDd the plane of mere party politics. They have assumed a status of spirituality. Never since the days of abolition and those of Abraham Lincoln has the conscience of the people been #o aroused, party lines so obliterated and such a determination to register decisively the desire of our countrymen to vote for humanity. . .. The scales are falling away from tne eyes of tbs uninformed. The misleading arguments and the misrepresentations of these who are epposed to the great covenant are falling of their own weight. And the results of this election are going to demonstrate In a decisive and unmistakable way that the conscience of the people Is determined to eradicate forever the great political dissensions that result In war, . . „ 1 wish the election were today in order that the rebuke of an Indignant people might be the sooner administered to those leaders of the opposition who are sacrificing the world’s chance of redemption to their personal ambitions in their own animosities. + It is my duty, however, to speak of things here at home. I feel It is not necessary to assure you of my sincerity and earnestness of purpose in this conlest. Our State has been led far astray from the traditional form of government under which we lived and prospered for so many years. It is my duty and desire to set this forth clearly, pointing out the causes and suggesting remedies. . _ The real question In State affairs Is whether we want a government of highly centralized power and control, and one In which the executive function is made supreme, and the other two branches, the Judiciary and legislative made subservient. This Is the type of government under which we have been living for the last four years, and one which calls for removal. There will be no relief in electing the nominee of the i Republican party, because by word and by deed, Mr. McCray has shown that bis Ideas of government are Identical ; with those of Governor Goodrich. If this requires proof, let me point out: 1. The platform on which he Is run- j l.ing, and which he had a hand In mak- j lng. Indorses unqualifiedly the Goodrich administration. 2 Mr. McCray and Mr. Goodrich to- | gether dictated all the legislation re- 1 cently passed. 3. Mr. McCray in his public speeches has Indorsed the tax law as it stands, and Mr. Goodrich has done the same. These men think alike In terms of government. Their assistants and associates ere identical. If the past administration has been satisfactory, I want you to vote the Republican ticket But. on the other hand, If you believe In Just and equitable taxation based on real values Instead of inflated ones—if you believe in the rights of the smaller communities to local self--government and the control of their own affairs; If you believe in the bringing back of our State Institutions, charitable, correctional and educational, to their old high standards; and furthermore, if you believe In an economical and businesslike way of running the affairs of State, then vote the Democratic ticket Tuesday. The greatest mistake the voters of Indiana ever made, was In changing the prosperous and efficient rule that we had under Marshall and Ralston. The Democratic party has a record of having paid off the State debt of elghty-two years' standing. It turned over a balance of nearly four millions of dollars as it went out of office. It kept up our institutions to a high standard of efficiency. And now almost every city and county !n the State Is In debt to the banks at high rates of Interest because they were aT'owed to raise amongst themselves the necessary money for their own maintenance. These debts have still to be paid. Our Institutions have been brought down to i state of Inefficiency due to a perslm(Continued on Page Seven.)

G.O.P. COIN PLEA TURNED DOWN BY INDIANA MAN Farmer and Manufacturer Wires Back He Is for Cox. Chicago, 111., Nov. 1. Chas. M. Cooper, 406 Lombard Bldg., Indianapolis, Ind. Harding and Coolidge are going to be elected, which means everything to all of ns, I still need a substantial amount to pay off the bills. Five hundred dollars from you will help wonderfully. Please wire me if I can depend on your help before election. \ FRED W. UPHAM. Treasurer, Republican National Committee. Editor The Times—The above telegram was received by me this morning, to which I replied as follows: "Mr. Fred W. Upbam, treasurer: ‘‘Tou cannot depend on me for SSOO to help elect Harding and Coolidge for the following reasons: "1. ‘As a business man, being both n manufacturer and a farmer, I feel that my interests, as well as those of every business man, would be best conserved by the adoption of the League of Nations, as soon as possible, which will come by the election of Cox r Roosevelt. “2. ‘We can arrange the rate of exchange so some value can be again put Into foreign money—the pound sterling, the French franc and the German mark. As It is today, we are robbing all these people. It looks to me that we are kicking them when they are down and out. Instead of trying to help them up and put them on their feet again. “3. The seven years under Woodrow Wilson have been the most glorious in the history of our country, from a business point of view. The business man and laborer have made more money than ever before. Is this not true? Mr. Harding dwells long upon the groat extravagauge of the Administration during the war. Leaving out of the question the hurry and expedition and extravagance which brought ihe war to a sudden close let me ask you who got all (his money? Was It not the business man and the laborer? Is it not all In this country now? We have the big end of all the gold on the earth today, as you know. “4. What is the cause of this sudden slump in business? The bottom has dropped out of wheat, corn and cotton, our chief products, and factories are rlosing down and men are being laid off by the thousands, and there la a general slowing up In all kinds of business. What is the cause? Mr. Cox has stated the cause. Because of our failure to go Into tho League of Nations and establish a credit for our fallen allies and enemies, so they can buy our goods. A laborer called at my factory the other day for work. He asked me a question and answered it himself. ‘Why are the factories i laying off men by the thousands while at the same time they are expending millions in enlarging their plants? I’ll tell I you why,' be eald. ‘They are palling oft j the same old stunt Mark Hanna pulled i off In 1596.’ Mr. Upborn, Is this true? i You know. Mr. Coolidge, your candidate, : said he had not purchased a suit of ! clothes or a pair of shoes In two years, | and advised every one to <lo likewise. I do not believe In this kind of buai- | ness philosophy. If everybody followed this advice, the business men would go bankrupt. No doubt It has helped on the ‘slump’ in business. It Is not the proper way to get at the profiteer. It Is too expensive, and the legitimate business man and the laborer are mnde to suffer. The Inst Congress was asked by i President Wilson to pass laws so he i could reach the profiteer. Congress refused, because Wilson asked it. So we ! are all made to suffer. The coal situation I now brings It home to all of us. Leaving 1 out any question of our moral obligation to go Into the league, I feel, from a business point of view, that we should go in, and to do so, we must elect Cox and Roosevelt. ‘‘Yours truly, (Signed) “CHARLES M. COOPER.”

STAGE ALL SET FOR CASTING OF 29,000,000 VOTES Weather, Women and Independents Undetermined Factors. MIDWEST FIGHTS HOT NEW YORK, Nov. I.—The presidential campaign cauie to an end today with rue major party candidates In their home camps ready to await the verdict of the lnrgest number of voters ever registered for on American election. Twenty-nine million ballots will ho cast tomorrow if all the voters go to the polls. Os these 0.000.000 will be the votes of women, who constitute “the unknown quantity” in the election. Major party lenders, despite their confidence, admitted worries over weather, women and independents. With the farmer vote claimed by a!! political parties, weather cut the biggest election figure in the Middle West. Indications today were that conditions generally would permit the country vote to reach the polls early. With the exception of Colorado and a few districts loads were reported In good condition and rains and snows were looked for In few spots tomorrow. Rain was forecast along the Eastern seabord, with snow expected In the lakes region. Voters in the West probably will find It fair and colder, except on the Pacific coast. TRY TO GET OUT EARLY VOTE. Efforts are being concentrated on getting out an early vote. With the exceptionally large number of tickets entered in the Middle West, election officials feared Jama. Polls throughout the country generally will open at 6 or 7 and close twelve hours later. Thus, If there Is a landslide one way or the other the news of it may be known by the time the last minute voters on the Pacific coast are easting their ballots, on account of the three hours difference in time which will permit three hours of ballot counting before tho polls close In the far West. Midwest Senate and Congressional fights were of Interest—particularly In Indiana, with Thomas Taggart. Democrat, and James Watson, Republican—national leaders of their parties fussing over a Senate seat. In Wisconsin a similar squabble was offered with Senator Irvine Lonroot. Republican, seeking re-election against the forces of Senator Lafollctte hacking James Thompson, Independent. Senator Cummins, Republican, was “having the fight of his life'' in lowa, meeting opposition from farmers and labor because of the railroad law. A vigorous battle Is also being waged for control of the House of Representatives where the Republicans have a comfortable majority.

PRESIDENT GIVES ELEVENTH HOUR STATEMENT. The President, last night, in a telegram to a League of Nations mass meeting in Boston, declared the issue to be decided tomorrow is the most vital which ever confronted the people, Last minute statements Included one from Cox asserting that “suffering humanity awalta the verdict of America at the polls.” and charging that Harding, if elected, never will send the treaty to the Senate again, but will negotiate a separate peace with Germany ; one from Republican Chairman Hays asking the people to vote against “internationalism" and “Wllsonlsm;” one from Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor referring to Harding a* n "too of union labor,” and one from Scott C. Bone. Republican publicity director, charging that the “whispering campaign" against Harding originated on the special train on which Cox toured the country.

INDL4NAPOLIS, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1920.

Pastor From Pulpit Urges Election of Paul G. Davis Tho election of Paul G. Davis as prosecuting attorney of Marion County was urged by Rev. Thomas R White, pastor of the Meridian Heights Presbyterian Church, in a sermon yesterday. The Rev. Mr. White, who saw service overseas during the war, talked to his congregation on the necessity for voting for the right men for office regardless of party lines. He referred to the case of Roy C. Lingenfelter, whom the Marion County grand jury refused to Indict despite the fact that he admitted attacking so many little girls he could not remember all of them. “We should not hold In the office of prosecuting attorney a man who permitted this thing to be done,” he said. "I would like to see Paul G. Davis elected prosecutor. “We must not follow party lines In this election, for If we do wo will have men in strategic positions who are not the right kind of men.” In speakng of the League of Nations he said; “Asa man who was in France I will say that you may bring back the bodies of the boys who died over there, but you can not bring back the blood that was spilled in their struggle for the right. “I urge everyone of you to put out of your minds all partisan discussion of the League of Nations and to read the covenant itself. “No man is qualified to vote Tuesday who has not read the covenant of the League of Nations ”

COUNCIL SESSION WILL BE BRIEF Motorization and Franchise Measures Not Ready. The city council will not receive the motorization of the fire department ordinance and the amendment to the gat franchise tonight ns planned. Prospect* were that the regular meeting would be brief, since several councilmen are actively engaged in the camimign and have urgent political errands to complete in the last few hours before tile election. The motorization ordinances, which consist of one ratifying the contract to purchase aproximately $250,000 worth of motor apparatus and another approving a bond issue of $500,000 to complete the motorization, will not eo to the council for the reasons that the board of sufety has not awarded the contracts and Cor poratlon Counsel Samuel Ashby say* he has not bad time to draw up either measure. It was understood the board of safety will take no final action on the contracts before Wednesday. The Stutz Fire Engine Company is the low bidder on most of the equipment, low bids and the next lowest being compared as follows: Eighteen 600-Gal!on Pumpers—Ktutx, $170,100; American La France, $107,505. Seven 750-Gallon Pumpers—Stutz, $78,750; Seagrave, $84,000. One tractor for steamer. Mack, $0,552; Rea grave, $13,500. (The Seagravo hid wa* favored. It Is, understood, because the Mack bid 1* on a four wheel drive tractor, which Fire Chief John C. Loucks doe# not believe will be suitable;. Two 65 foot Aerial#—American 1a France. $28,510, and Mack. S'At.27o. One Su-foot Aerial—American I/t France, $14,062.50; Mack, $15,810. Ten Hook and Ladder City Service Trucks—Stuts. *77,W0: White, $52,200; Packard, $82,730. (It Is understood the Packard bid haa preference next to Stutz because members of the city council contend the White company has had too much city bus’ness.l The gas franchise amendment cannot go to the council because the director* of the Citizens Gas Company hare not approved it. Alfred Potts, member of the board of directors, reported to the bonrd of works that the company officials are working upon a program of definite plant improvements to be made within the next eighteen months which they will Hsk he substituted In the amendment in the place of a clause giving the bonrd of works the blanket right to order plant extensions. This program eannot be completed before Friday, Mr. Potts said, and city oftcials indicated their willingness to wait. POOR GAS SUPPLY IS GIVEN BLAME Street Lighting Difficult Now, Official Says. Replying to a request of the board of public works that gas street lights In Union street be put In good condl tlon and kept lighted every night, A. R. Oolln, snnerintendent in Indianapolis for the Welsbach Street lighting Company of America, wrote the bonrd a letter In which be snys that for the past eighteen months it has been almost impossible to operate gas lamps with the supply offered. The Welßbneh company owns, nnd Is under contract to keep in good condition all the ga street lights in Indtspnpolls.

MUST RATIFY TREATY—HOOVER Speaker, Asking Modification, Says Pact Should Stand. STANFORD UNIVERSITY. PALO ALTO, CaL, Nov. 1. -"The constructive program Is the thing that will interest the Amorican people after the election.'* Herbert Hoover declared In a statement here today. He said the Republican campaign on the League of Nations Issue has had two phases-—constructive and destructive. Hoover's statement was issued to Indorse Samuel Shortrldge. senatorial Republican candidate. “To oped the treaty of Versailles for renegotiation would brlntf compete rhaoa to Korop* and calamity upon u* from it.” Hoover .declared. “The stability of the whole of Europe hangs upon the maintenance of the treaty and the economic situation in the United State# depends upon maintaining the ta. blllty and gradual recuperation of Europe's buying power. Therefore, the logic of tbo *ituation drive* this constructive program to the necessary modification of the present covenant and ultimate ratification of the treaty with modification or amendments."

ELEVENTH-HOUR VOTE FORECAST OF NO MOMENT ‘Experts’ ’ Opinions Principally to Bolster Ranks or Give New Courage. COUNT ONLY WILL TELL Eleventh hour predictions of success for one party or the other from writer* who have been carefully advertlseu as a preliminary to the publications of their forecasts do not influence elections directly. They seem in this campaign to have been promulgated for the principal purpose of bolstering up wavering organization ranks and nerving certnin elements of political parties to last minute, desperate efforts. The truth about the election tomorrow is that NO ONE can predict with any degree of certainty who will or who will not be elected. In the last month of this campaign the Democrats have made the most remarkable Inroads ever seen on a Republican organization that had everything “sewed up.” The Democrats will win nationally if their last month's efforts have been sufficient to arouse tbs voters to the monstrous hypocrisy and matchless wiggling strous wobbling of tbeir candidates. The Republicans will win nationally if the lead which they built up by their defamation of the President and their deceit concerning the League of Nations is not swept away by a very easily discernible drift of voters from their baauers.

ALL BTATKS DOIBTFI'L UNTIL VOTE COUNTED. It Is utter folly to line up a list of Republican States and a list of Democratic States and place between them a list of doubtful States with the assertion that the vote of the doubtful States will carry the election. There are no States that will not be doubtful until the extent of the drift to. . ward the Democratic ticket ia ascertained at the poll* tomorrow. The most carefully built predictions of the most knowing writers In the country are subject to overthrow by the drift In any one of thousands of counties which the writers never heard of and j probably never will hear of, politically, i The Times has not attempted to predict the outcome of this election, for the sol* reason that it can not be predicted, and thoße among the Republican managers who are honest enough to aay i so will agree with this statement. In Indiana the Democrats never had j a better chance to carry the State. j In Marlon County they were never 5 more fortunate In their organization or ; in the issues than they are today. A verdict against the Democrats tomorrow will be Indicative of nothing so much as a blind love of tbe Republican purty that transcends reason and Individual inclinations. Throughout this campaign the Republican party has had the advantage of organization, money and paid workers who bold th.- offices. ISSUES AND MEN WITH DEMOCRATS. The Democrats have had the advantages of issue* and men. The question In this State Is really whether office getting has developed into a profession where professionals have more ability to carry elections than volunteer workers, moved by unselfish ' desires to servo their country. Illustrative of this la the fact that while the Republican# of Marlon County : will have hundreds of paid drivers help- j lng to get out the vote election day, the Democrats will rely on volunteer auto ( drivers, many of them women, who will furnish their own cars and their own j gasoline In sn effort to compete with , trained and paid workers. The question of success has now reached tbe stage where it is a contest between amateurs and professionals, a question of citizenship or politics. There may be many opinions held and expressed concerning the results. Four years ago there were acme mistakes made by some of our most widely touted touts. This year there is very likely to he an even greater mistake made than was the prematura announcement of the election of Charles Evans Hughes four years ago. One Student Killed, Five Others Injured NORTH ADAMS, Mass., Nov. I.— Marc NY. t'omstock of 32 Irving Place, Buffalo, N.

In his greeting to the commission, Governor Goodrich spoke in favor of the proposed waterway, as did Mr. Reynolds. who also touched upon the friendly relations between the two countries. Sir William Hearat also alluded to the friendly relations between the two countries in hia response. The other speakers touched on the advantages to be derived through the proposed waterway, the principal address being made by Mr. Inman. "It is ft source of real regret,” said Mr. Inman, "that certain of our friends in New York arc arrayed against tb's great project. "Are we In Indiana to understand that New York persists In ‘biting the haul that feeds It?' “Can it be that a little handful of financial strategists, attired In dress suits and sitting in roof gardens, eating broiled lobster in the city of New York, are so short- Blghted they cannot see the economic disaster which Is Inevitable nn less tbe great producing territory of tho Central West is unhampered in its efforts to provide food and clothing foi the Nation aud for millions beyond the sens?"

Don’t YOU Put Your Head in the Noose! A conspiracy exists in Marion County to corrupt tomorrow’s election by causing falsely and fraudulently registered votes to be cast for certain favored candidates. This conspiracy i3 in direct violation not only of the laws of Indiana, but of the laws of the United States. Parties to the conspiracy are known to officials of the State aad of the United States. There will be a Federal grand jury convened shortly after this election and the Department of Justice has been instructed to condone no violations of law in connection with this election. Tko conspiracy statute of the Federal code Is exceedingly broad and It is exceedingly difficult to determine in advance whether an improper act will be regarded by the coure as a part of the existing conspiracy. It matters not whether Democrats or Republicans win this election Violations of law in connection with it will be prosecuted.

COX WILL CLOSE STUMP TOUR AT TOLEDO TONIGHT Has Made 21,000 Miles and Carried Appeal Into 36 States. BANKING ON HIS ‘LUCK* DAYTON, Ohio, Nov. 1. —Governor James M. Cox. determined to fight "until the last minute.” will end the greatest stump campaign ever made by a presidential candidate with a speech In Toledo tonight. It probably will be just about one hour before midnight ushers In election day when the governor gives to tho American electorate the last word of hls Nation-wide battle for the presidency. The Governor has traveled approximately 21.000 miles since he accepted the nomination. e He estimates that In more than 450 zpeecbes he has spoken to 2,000,000 persona. Since Sept. 2 he has been traveling virtually every day, making his “home’* on the private car Federal. CARRIED CAMPAIGN INTO 36 STATES Using the railroads, motor cars, trolley® and ferry boats, Cox haa visited the extreme Northwest and Southwestern corners of the country, New England as far north as central New Hampshire and the solid South as far south as Nashville. j He carried his campaign Into thirtysix States, but never seemed to lose hia characteristic aggressiveness. Even hls opponents admit that he never stopped fighting. Despite the strain of his extensive travels, the Governor is In excellent condition. Hls voice Is still strong, although he has spoken in all kinds of weather. He gained slightly in weight during the campaign. Cox Is ending hls campaign at Toledo because Ohio Democratic leaders have a “hunch” that to do so will place the Governor under a lucky omen. Three of his gubernatorial campaigns were ended there and all three times he was elected. When he failed to make his final speech for the governorship there he was defeated. PLANS TO FOLLOW ANOTHER TRADITION. The much heralded “Cox luck” also will be given an opportunity to live up to Its reputation when the election returns begin to come in Tuesday night. Cox was elected Governor every time he spent the night la hls newspaper office here and was defeated only when he remained Rt hls home. He will receive the returns from special press association wires in the same room of hls newspaper office where ha was Informed of hls nomination by tho San Francisco convention. “A lucky telegraph instrument” will be relied upon to bring only “good news." It brought to Governor Cleveland, William H. Taft and President Wilson the news of their election. Cox expresses himself as “highly pleased” with word that a “big swing” toward his candidacy is on in the West because of his stand on the League of Nations. “1 am thoroughly convinced," he said, “that the sentiment In America is overwhelmingly in favor of the league a&d of our entrance Into It. I am in favor of going in; Senator Harding is in favor of staying out. The verdict of Nov. 2 means Joy, or despair, world-wide.
