GANGLAND ADDS TWOMURDERS Chicago Police Are Without Evidence. Ba Pres CICAGO, Jan. 8. —Gangland has added two more unsolved murders to Its already long list. Police today were up against a atone wall regarding a solution to the killings of James Campanille and James P. O’Brien, murdered In Melrose Park, a suburb, yesterday. Campanille was killed by two men who entered a restaurant In which he was working, riddled him with bullets and escaped. This murder Is believed by police to be the outgrowth of Campanula's alleged vow to “get even" for the murders of his two friends, the Taddeos. The last Taddeo murder occurred, less than four months ago In the same spot In which Campanille was killed yesterday, and It is said that Campanille made his vow at this time. O'Brien's body, riddled with bullets, was found on a in Melrose Park yesterday and was uni dentlfled for several hours. Police finally, through fingerprints, iden tied him. They said that O'Brien’s criminal record goes back to 1907. CHAIRMAN IS NAMED Mrs. Ruth Hendrickson Allee has been appointed chairman of a committee to conduct the annual campaign of the Indianapolis Pan-Hel-lenlo Association for scholarship funds. Others on the commitee are Mrs. Howard Jensen, and Mrs. W. H. Gaddis. During February there will be an afternoon bridge party.

\ / . Platform of Ward B. Hiner as Candidate for United States Senator, Short Term, Subject to the Republican Primaries of the State of Indiana
Having this date declared my candidacy for the United States Senate, to succeed Senator Arthur R. Robinson, subject to the Republican primaries, I feel that a proper consideration for the judgment of the voters of the State requires that I inform them, IN CLEAR AND UNMISTAKABLE TERMS, of my position on public affairs. Platforms have so often been disregarded that the voters have a natural suspicion of them. Nevertheless, I believe that such suspicion really attaches to the candidate and not to the platform. If,-therefore, the voters of Indiana have confidence in me, as I believe they have, they will know, when I announce a platform, that I intend to standby it and to use every human effort to put it over. Now, declare myself as a candidate upon the following platform:
. PLATFORM One of the most fundamental principles of onr government; one that Is universally accepted In theory but. unfortunately, no* generally recognized and applied In practice. Is that all sovereignty rests In the people. Too many of our officials, when elected, forget this principle. It is Bay purpose, If chosen to represent the people of Indiana In the United States Senate, to evdr keep this principle in mind and to practice It. I will voice the sentiments of the people, work always to carry out their wishes and'advance their Interests as against ail special Interests whatsoever. To accomplish this I will try to keep In close touch with the common people. 1 will have no difficulty In doing this for'l am one of them. 1 DO NOT CONSIDER THAT 1 HAVE RISEN FROM TH£ HANKS BUT THAT I AH STIU AND ALWAYS WILI. BE IN THE RANKS WITH THE COMMON MAN. • In order for the people to crystallize their own sentiments Into laws which will protect and advance their Interests their vole* must be articulate. The best method ever used to accomplish this was the old New England town meeting, where all citizens met and, In a body, determined their attitude on the Issuer of the day. Such meeting of all the citizens Is, of course, no longer possible, hut, in an effort to accomplish the same thing, as nearly as possible, I propose to estahlish a body or assembly of citizen advisors. Thfs body will function as follows: I will ask three citizens In each oounty to call and arrange for a meeting, to which all cltlicns are Invited, there to discuss public questions of pioment, express their attitude upon vital issues and select three of their number to meet with three from each other rounty In their Congressional District, Such citizen representatives In each Congressional District will hold a similar meeting and there select three of their number to meet with three from each other Congressional District, thus constituting a body or assembly of thirty-nine cltiscn advisors. This group I will ask to meet with me In Indianapolis, or some other convenient point, at frequent intervals, as often as occasion may require, and thus keep In touch with the thought, sentiments and desires of my constituents. None of the citizen advisors will he politicians because there will be no plane for politicians. They will be representatives from all walks of life, principally farmers, laborers and business men. Further, I would consult good bunkers, so that financial matters would have the best consideration, tuid I would consult a few of the best lawyers, so as to be legally guided In the right direction. I will finance my own campaign, out of my own pocket, and. If nominated and elected, the only thing I will have aooepted will be the people's votes. I would not he bound nor obligated to any political ring or any donators to ni.v cause. In faci, I will be an unfettered United States Senator from Indiana, representing a majority of the people in their views. And If u majority of the people of Indiana want a certailn law or want a proposed law defeated, I will do all witliin my power to further their Interests, regardless of what my belief or wish Is in the matter. I am for a tariff sufficient to protect American Industry, where protection Is needed, but I am against any tariff that, goes beyond the needed degree of protection and permits Industries to feed and fatten on the American public and grow Into monopoply by reason of unnecessary tariff protection, as it Is now affecting the American Farmer, Laborer and small Business Man. Bear In mind, I will not agree always to vote with the President of the United States. It is possible for even the President of the United States to be wrong, but I will back the administration and the President of the United States when a majority of the people of the State of Indiana want me to, and think they are eight. But If a majority of this Commonwealth thinks otherwise, I will not be afraid to declare myself against the administration and the President of the United States, even though ID may destroy my political career. , I will stand sqnarely against any more monopolistic laws being passed In the Interest of capital as opposed to the Interest# of the people and will help repeal all such law# now on the statute books. As every step in the progress of the human family has been, to n great measure, the result of the exchange of goods among tribes, states or nations and as transportation Is one of the most effective means to this end, I am wholly opposed to any measure which would Unlit or obstruct the meuns of transportation and the improvement and development of same. x laws and their administration must be kept within the bon nds originally Intended. The original Idea and Intention of lawa regulating public utilities and creating Utility Commissions and Hoards was to keep down excessive rates and otherwise regulate utilities in the Interests of the people, hut we have seen such Utility Hoards and Commissions In many States dnmposed ot men who are only nominally appointed by the Governors, the appointments having been actuully dictated by the utilities that the pnblle thought wer* to be regulated and controlled. This has brought about such maladministration of well-intended laws that for the past decade we have seen these utilities made the beneficiaries of rates Impossible under normal competitive conditions and Impossible except for the bounty of their commissioner friends who were supposed to represent the public. The people have suffered and are now suffering under utility rates that a few years ago would have staggered the Imagination. Witness the telephone rates and the soaring bus rates. I know the bus business and I know that without regulation, ostensibly in the Interest* of the pnblle but actually In the Interests of the railroads and traction lines, and under free competitive conditions, bus rates could have been kept at one and three-quarters to two and three-quarters cents per mile, whereas bns rates now, since the railroads and tractions are buyling np the bus lines, are approaching four to five cents per mile. I challenge any one to attempt to show that the history of utility regulation In America has not benefited the utilities and been adverse to the public. That Is the reason I am against State regulation and against Federal regulation, now pending In Congress, to put Inter-state truck' or buz carriers nncler the Interstate Commerce Commission. We need less rather than more regulation. 1 think the Interstate Commerce Commission already has too much power and I am In favor of shearing the sheep of any superfluous power which it now has. Instead of giving It more. Understand, I am In favor of the Federal Government, by Federal statute, taxing Interstate trucks and even going for enough to make them oorry Insurance to protect shippers, bnt when that Is done, said statutes should be plain enough that various htatrs and Utility Commissions rculd not meddle with interstate shipments, similar to the way some of them have been handling the matter In the last few months. We must maintain and further develop onr highways. They are the most democratic Institutions we have, and to obstruct their us* Is to destroy the democracy of the highway. The motor vehicle has brought the country to the city and the city to the country. It has become the connecting ( link between supply and demand In food products, and if properly used will go far toward solving our great problem of distribution. We have a wonderful road system In Indiana and we must stand by the men who have done the good work for us. Until the members of onr Highway Commission are convicted the citizens of the State of Indiana should withhold Judgment. If they are guilty, then there I# plenty of time to dispose of them, but the good work they have done certainly entitles them to a fair trial. I think that an Investigation would show that those who to put through the ripper bill wer# the same individuals who helped defeal the utility law, endorsed by Samnel Artmae, which would have saved the citizens of Indiana many million# of dollars, and Hts Investigation would also show that the same crowd helped put the busses under the Public Service Commission. And now tV bus rates are soaring toward the sky the same as the telephone rates, gas rates, and railroad rates, and It Is my opinion that the pnblle should beware and think well of repealing the Public Service law, as It no longer serves the people but serves cowardly investors. An attempt Is beltur made at this time to connect the Interstate Commerce Commission vrith the Public Service Commission of the various States and Fellow Citizens, when thlz Is done, the Job 1* complete, I assure'you. Y*u will have a halter upon your head which will be Impossible to shake off. I believe that the farmer should be protected against manipulations qf the market and that the recommendations of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation are sound. For ndvtce on matters affecting the farmers I wonld go to the farmers, rather than to our international bankers. Just a# I go to a dentist when I want dental work. If the farmer Is not prosperous we all lose, business becomes stagnated and lubor remains Idle. Railroad and other utility earnings have been guaranteed and the cowardly Investor and manipulator of those utilities think It right; so If It should become necessary why not gnaranteeva olass (or once which earns Its living by the sweat of its brow, instead of making It easy for a bunch of chair warmers who never produced .anything and never did anything but cash Interest coupops, most of which were Inherited. I am for labor—first, last, and all the time; their needs are many and the question# which affect them are so vital that It Is Impossible to say at this time all there IS' to say about It, but, inasmuch as the very structure of this Government Is on their shoulders, I nm'for helping them tarry the burden In a fair and equitable manner. I do not assume, as It Is so easy and popular to do, that labor Is necessarily and always the cause of strikes, f submit. In nil falrnesp, that there must be some cause for strikes other than the alleged greediness and lack of patriotism of those who labor. If this great problem is approached with candor, honesty and genuine American fair play, dlvestqd of prejudice, many strikes might be averted and others more quickly settled. And our lawmakers must see that government supervision demands fair play. . Bear In mind, I am not against honest capital honestly used; neither do I want to see capital destroyed; but I do want to see capital take Its chance the same a# other true sports do In a game of chance when It Is necessary to do so; the same as labor does In lean times when there is nothing to do and the s nine as the farmer has been doing for many years. > UNDERSTAND. I MYSELF HAVE BUILT, OWNED AND SUCCESSFULLY MANAGED LARGE BUSINESSES; NOW CONDUCT QUITE A LARGE BUSINESS AND STARTED WITH NOTHING. So It Is all ‘'Bosh” when you hear someone saying that I would try to destroy big business. No, I won’t do that, but I will squeeze, the water out of the green sponge and help take the foot logs out of the streams that have been blocking progress and prosperity against those who deserve it. I think the time has arrived when real business men with a public viewpoint must represent our States In Washington. Without saying anything against the law profession, I think we have entirely too matiy lawyers and retired non-business men making our laws, and as government is one of tli biggest businesses In the land, I think that we should have more representation by real business men. Jokes regarding our lawmaking bodies. Including even the United States Senate, have become almost as popular as our mother-in-law Jokes and with as much reason. Where Is the business man today who would be willing to select a Hoard of Directors for dlls business from among 90 per cent of those who make our laws! Yet It Is not realized that we have selected such men to ran the biggest business of the American nation and that Indirectly, hut nevertheless effectively and often disastrously, these men are running our Individual businesses. They are making the rules under which every one must do business. I believe In the strennons enforcement of all laws on the statute books. We hfte entirely too many laws, and Congress being in session five or six months at a time causes business to be unsettled and uncertain, and I believe that the Congressmen and the Senators should spend more of their time In the districts finding what the people need, instead of spending all their time in luxury and social functions In Washington, D. C. I don't believe In war, hut If war Is neressary, I am for my country, right or wrong. Bnt I do believe It Is the duty of each Congressman and Senator, onoe war Is declared, to offer his services at the front. If nominated and elected. I will favor a law declaring a referendum on war except in case of actual Invasion. That Is. It should be up to the people whether or not they want to go to war to save Europe, to protect Investments of International bankers or for any reason other than the sacrifice of their honor and safety. If the American people vote to go to war, for whatever cause, I would be for the war and would be found as near the front as I could get, but unless they so express themselves on sending our boy# across the pond again, I would not sacrifice the life of one American hoy to save the whole European continent. I am for spending billions for our own defense and be prepared to the highest state of efficiency at all times, and by that procedure I believe that we ran avoid war and hopeless national dishonor at some time In the not far off future. I favor the Dawes Idea on revision of the Senate rnlee so that the business of the Senate can be accomplished more effectively and more expeditiously. y I am not backed by any political machine. I don’t believe In machine-made polities of any kind, or gag rule and 1 am strennonsly against State and national programs of Railroad and other monopolistic utilities now being fostered. l’believe that the unborn, as well as the young men of today, should not he harnessed and tied by laws restricting and limiting their Initiative, Our forefathers left this free country to us of the present generation and we must puss on the heritage unimpaired. That is why I am against all laws fostering monopoly and all law’s making possible private control of public utilities and our great natural resources. ' / Now, as to who I am; I was born at Sedalla, near Frankfort, Clinton County, Indiana, In 1880. My people were Methodlsta, In faith. I don’t belong to any church, order, or elan, but do believe that all people should worship as they see fit, and that all churches, lodges and societies of all kinds, properly conducted, are for the good of society and humanity. This Is not a time to enter Into any religious strifes, and, If nominated and elected, my time will be taken up with public business Instead of religious and political strifes and disputes. I think that It Is only fair that any man who runs for office should commit himself In black and white as to what he stands for and you must and should beware of the man who won’t com mlt himself and tell where he stands, for such a man Is eertolnlv an unrafe public official. The foregoing Is my platform and my pledge Is to do all within my power to get result* for yon at Washington, bnt If yon want to send to Washington a side-stepping, sulve-spreadilng pnppet or mollycoddle to sacrifice yonr rights when It le expedient or he t -inks it 1$ to hi# pernonal nelftah interests to do ■©, yon should not nominate or elect miL I will be glad to respond to special requests to address audiences on the principles and Issnef raised by this platform and any and all other questions that develop as the comllng campaign progresses. Such requests should be transmitted to 804 Fletcher Savings and Trust Building, Indianapolis, Indiana. * ' Signed, W. B. HINER (Paid Political Advertisement)
