CITY MANAGER LEAGUE NAMES • DOUBLE SLUE Indorses Candidates From Democratic Party and G. 0. P. Marion County voters had before them today lists of legislative candidates of both parties bearing the stamp of Indianapolis City ManagerLeague indorsement. The slates were drawn up, said John W. Esterline, the league's executive committee chairman, upon recommendation of the ward organization. Republican league members selected the Republican ticket, he said, and Democratic members the Democratic slate. The lists were advanced, Esterline explained, because of the large number of candidates. “The experience of the past has taught the people that if they go to the polls and vote indiscriminately for the nearly one hundred candidates who have offered themselves, those who do not represent the best interests of th people would surely be nominatd,” he said. “There has, therefore, been an insistent demand for some method of concentrating the vote of the people on a prefererd list of candidates jn each party. “There were more good candidates than places and to include all of them would mean the defeat of all. We earnestly urge united support of these candidates to the end that the city manager statute may be preserved." For State Senator Republican—Robert L. Moorhead, Winfield Miller, J. Clyde Hoffman, John L. Niblack and Carl S. Wagner. Democratic—Edward O. Snethen, Arch D. Hinch, B. Howard Caughran and Walter O. Lewis. For Joint Senator (Marion and Johnson Counties) j Republican—Joe Rand Beckett. Democratic—John F. Linder. For State Representatives REPUBLICAN—James H. Lowry, George T. Whelden, Thomas C. Batchelor, Henry F Kottkamp, Thaddeus R. Baker, William Bosson, Jr., Louis R. Markum, John L. Benedict, Frank J. Noll, David F. Smith and Elsa Huebner Olsen. DEMOCRATIC William H.

INSURANCE TOO HIGH Reduction in City Policies to Be Urged. Reduction of fire insurance on several city buildings will be recommended to Mayor L. Ert Slack's cabinet by Oren S. Hack, works board president. Hack is making a survey of the insurance policies on city buildings with the view of reducing the amount cf insurance. Saving of about $2,000 annually in premiums is contemplated. It is likely that the $50,000 policy on the fireproof municipal garage adjoining fire headquarters will not be renewed in September. Hack said he felt the city should carry about SIVOOO on the garage. It is likely that the policy on city hall will be cut from SIOO,OOO to about $50,000 and the Tomlinson Hall policy from $95,000 to $50,000.

Wilkins, Polar flier, plans a flight to the South Pole in September, the newspaper, Dagbladet, said today. A movement has been started at Green Harbor to hold a great celebration in honor of Captain Wilkins and Lieut. Carl B. Eielson, his companion on the North Pole flight. Wilkins and Carl Eielson, who recently flew from Point Barrow, Alaska, to Spitzbergen, are enjoying their stay at Green Harbor, according to advices today from Svalbard. Much of their time, except when they are retelling the story, is spent in playing bridge. Both continue to wear their sealskin flying clothes, but were agreeably surprised to find such comfortable living quarters in Spitzbergen as have been provided for them. Wilkins, it was understood, has promised to build a snow cottage in Green Harbor, which will be similar to those in Point Barrow, Alaska, from where his remarkable flight started.
