PRIMARY LAW CHANGE URGED BY CANDIDATES Not One of 13 Advocate Repeal in Speeches to Women. Os ten candidates for Governor and three for United States Senator whose views on the Indiana primary la wwere expounded on Thursday for the Indiana League of Women Voters at their annual convention at the Marott, not one advocated out-and-out repeal of the measure. But virtually all of them said it might be changed to advantage. Mrs. T. J. Louden of Bloomington, program chairman, who presided, opened the doors to free speech on the question, when she said: “Our organization stands for the direct primary, but don’t think, gentlemen, we do not have an ear for convincing argument.” Senator Arthur R. Robinson was called on, but found to have departed for Washington Wednesday. Solon J. Carter, Republican candidate for Robinson’s post, did not advocate repeal but spoke unkindly of the primary which necessitates candidates building up campaign organizations at great cost. He admitted the evils of the old convention system and suggested the two big party organizations take over the task of acquainting the people with the record, standing and qualification of candidates. Albert Stump, Democratic candidate for the senatorial nomination, said it would be more beneficial to impress the public with its responsibilities n voting than to alter the prmary law. He denounced the system of placing national, State and county tickets on one lever in voting machines, saying each should be on a separate pull so that county candidates couldn’t “ride to victory” on a State ticket, nor State candidates on a national ticket. Kick Draws Applause Frederick E. Schortemeier, Republican gubernatorial candidate, deplored the “disastrous methods of the old convention” and said the next Governor should appoint some twenty high-class people to study and solve the primary problem. J. Kirby Risk, Democratic governorship aspirant, claimed a hand in enacting the primary law of 1915 and declared it was an important factor in giving Indiana women limited suffrage, the constitutional convention call and prohibition measures. He drew applause when he declared the State constitution should be rewritten. Samuel B. Wells, another Democratic gubernatorial candidate, extolled the primary law as the child of William Jennings Bryan and urged the public to be on guard to prevent a recurrence of misuse of the primary such as when “Stephenson held it in the cup of his hand.” Adams Defends Primary Charles W. Jewett, Republican candidate for Governor, said: “I am infinitely more opposed to return to the boss-ridden convention than in modification, change or repeal of the primary law.” He commended secret voting, but scored “secret counting of the ballots.” Thomas H. Adams, seeking the Republican governorship nomination, defended the primary law. Earl Cra ' r ford. Democratic gubernatorial candidate, expressed favor for the primary law without any reservations. Alvah J. Rucker, Republican gubernatorial candidate, said: "If a bill is passed to repeal the primary law, and if I am Governor, I’ll veto it.” Mrs. George Dale, wife of the Muncie publisher who seeks the Democratic nomination for Governor, read Dale’s approval of the primary law. Olin R. Holt, another Democratic governorship aspirant, said the primary law should be changed to provide for nomination of Governor and United States Senator, as well as for all other offices, by a plurality instead of a majority. Disapproval of the primary law as it now stands was expressed in a letter from Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom, Republican candidate for the senatorial nomination A letter from Charles Ewry, Republican governorship candidate, in - dorsed the primary although “there always has been a good deal of ‘bootlegging’ connected with it.”

SUIT QUESTIONS LAW Maholm Makes Test Case to Be on Ballot. • Test of the State law creating the four municipal courts was seen in a suit filed late Thursday by T. Ernest Maholm, attorney, to force his name on the ballot as a candidate for a municipal judgeship. The suit filed in Circuit Court asks merely that Secretary of State Frederick E. Schortemeier and County Clerk George O. Hutsell be directed to put his name on the ballot. Maholm will argue before the court that since the offices of judge are judicial they are appointive by the Governor only until the next election after their creation, and not appointive always, he said in filing the suit.

BOYS DREAM OF TEXAS, LAND IN ILLINOIS JAIL Dreams of adventure for three youths on a Texas ranch were rudely interrupted by curiosity of a Vincennes policeman, who questioned ownership of their car. Thursday they were ordered removed to Danville, 111., to face motor theft charges by Federal Judge Robert C. Batlzell. The boys, Otto Harreld, 14, of 1309 Finlay Ave.; John Mitchell, 15, Indianapolis, and Lloyd Harmon, 16, Royalton, Ind., admitted stealing Harmon’s uncle’s automobile, driving it to Danville, where they abandoned it. Thinking they were on the way to Texas, they landed at Vincennes in another car stolen at Danville. They were returned here by S. T. Hickman, deputy United States marshal

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

FISH SCHOONER DARES YACHTS IN OCEAN RACE Crew of Famed Gloucester to Sail Atlantic for King’s Trophy. Bv \'EA Pi-trice GLOUCESTER, Mass., March 16. —A Gloucester schooner, with a fisherman crew, will contest for the sailing supremacy of the Atlantic against the fastest boats and the most skilled navigators of the eastern yacht clubs in a 3,300-mile transAtlantic sailing race to start from Sandy Hook early in July. The race, sponsored by King Alfonso of Spain, wili be from Sandy Hook to the Port of Santander. The King and Queen will be on hand to welcome the winners to Spanish soil and to present a trophy to commemorate the victory. Atlantic Favorite About a dozen sailing craft—the pick of America's yatching vessels —will hoist sail at the starting signal. Senor Don Alejandro Padilla, Spanish ambassador at Washington, is chairman of the race committee. The Atlantic, present holder of the trans-Atlantic sailing record, with a sailing time of twelve days and four hours from Sandy Hook to The Lizard, off the southern tip of England, probably will start a favorite. Matched against her and the other classy boats of the yacht class will be the Zodiac, a 100-ton Gloucester schooner entered by Robert and Seward Johnson, of New Brunswick, N. J. With Captain Norman Ross, famous Gloucester skipper, in command, and manned by a crew of “fighting fishermen” accustomed to standing out to sea in weather that sends the average yacht scuttling to port, the Zodiac will strive to bring back sailing honors to the old type of wooden-hulled schooner that has made the name of Gloucester famous throughout the ports of the world for 200 years. Heavy Weather Advantage Light weather, Johnson conceded, will be to the advantage of the yachts. They will be able to crowd every inch of canvas that they carry. But heavy weather, he believes, will be all to the advantage of the Zodiac. With a stiff wind—or more —he believes the Gloucesterman will walk away from her rivals. Two years ago the Zodiac sailed

More than once it has proved its stamina for wind and weather. In the middle of winter it went further north into the Arctic Ocean than any pleasure boat ever ventured before. Over a marked course in Long Island Sound, the Zodiac would not even figure in the betting. But with a course laid from Sandy Hook to Santander, and with hardhanded fishermen competing with flanneled yachtsmen at the ropes, it may be another story. The race for the King Alfonso Cup will be the first trans-Atlantic sailing contest since the days of the Kaiser’s Cup. before the war, and is inspired by Alfonso’s desire to renew Interests in the sailor's art.
