DEMOCRATS Read This Cardfully! ! MR. LOUIS L. LUDLOW OF WASHINGTON, D. C„ now seeking the nomination for Congressman for the Seventh District (Marion County) In a book written by him and published in 1924 by W. F. Roberts, Inc., and entitled “From Cornfield to Press Gallery” at page 399 and 400-401, says: “Many times a year I am asked to what political party I belong and I am obliged to answer: “Now, you’ve got me.” “Not being a candidate for office nor expecting ever to be one, I run no material risk in being perfectly frank and outspoken in respect to the difficulties which beset me when I attempt to classify myself politically * * * I had no trouble in keeping my politics on farily straight until Woodrow Wilson began to project America into the international sphere and to proclaim Uncle Sam as the partner and paymaster for all of the unruly, trouble-breed-ing, ‘busted’ nations of the world. He took In so much land in such short order that I could not follow him. “As nearly as I can ascertain from careful introspection, I am today a Democrat nationally and a Republican internationally. I believe with all my heart in the domestic policies of Thomas Jefferson and the foreign policies of Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge. If that isn’t a rare confession of political faith, I do not know where one could be found * * * / “In the first place, I think it may be stated in a fundamental, basic way that in the late Wilsonian era there was too great a penchant to assume that the burden of regulating the world was on the shoulders of Uncle Sam. The atmosphere at Washington was hectic and abnormal. The nervous tension was fierce. The idea seemed to be that there was always a bad kid somewhere across the sea—say in the Ealkans, in order to play safe—who had better behave or he would get his hide tanned by the trusty birch of the schoolmaster-President. “ * * * If General Harrison were alive today he would regard the proposed entry of the United States into the League of Nations as the most stupendous mistake of the age and, in my humble judgment, that is exactly what it is.” 3kt the same book Mr. Ludlow, at page 356-357, says: “When at last the League of Nations was bom and laid on the Senate doorstep there was no one who knew anything about it or who was prepared to assume its foster fatherhood. Is there any wonder that it remained a waif? “Speculation, of course, is profitless, but one cannot help wondering what would have been the result if Warren G. Harding, with his infinite patience, his faculty for conciliation and team play, had been in President Wilson’s place. An idea of how President Harding would have performed can be obtained from the adroit and successful way in which he engineered the arms conference treaty. * * * If Harding had been President, committed as Wilson was to the League of Nations, would the United States be in the League today? No one can answer that question. Everyone knows he would have handled the situation ,in a different way.” IT The Democrats of Marion County should by their votes at the Primary Election to be held May 8, 1928, repudiate the statements of Mr. Lndlow by casting their vote for Henry H. Winkler, also a candidate for Congressman for this District, who has lived and dwelt amongst us in Morion County for 35 years and who has been an active worker in the Democratic organization and for the Democratic party for 20 years, and who Is o Democrat, Locally, Nationally and Internationally.

LAW DEFINING PARKING WILL BE DEMANDED New Statute Adopted by New York Studied in Indiana. Anew law defining parking will be asked of the next State Legislature, Duane Dungane, president of the Hoosier Motor Club, said today. New York already has a similar law. “ ‘When is a car parked?’ sounds like an easy question, but it really is a dfficult one to define,” Dungan pointed out. “According to the New Yor'if statute a car is not parked when it has in it a person capable of operating it. nor is it parked if it stops only long enough to unload and take on passengers or freight. “New York motorists are jubilant over their new law,''Which gives them greater freedom. They may now take their families into the country and stop along the country lanes to view the scenery, to rest or for any other legal purposes. “Motorists accompanied by members of their families or passengers may park within ‘No Parking’ zones, while someone else goes into a building for business purposes, for the New York State law takes precedence over all local laws or ordinances. “During the hot summer nights many city dwellers like to drive

Philadelphia Record says: The results of the Republican primaries in Massachusetts and Ohio, wherein Secretary Hoover scored a decided victory over the opposition that has fought him with such bitterness, may be regarded as making his nomination at Kansas City almost assured. Kansas City Times says: After all, is it any wonder that the Republican voters of Ohio and Massachusetts should have rolled up enormous majorities for Hoover? He made no campaign in either state. But the voters knew his record. Hoover did not need to speak for himself in Ohio and Massachusetts. His record spoke for him. Boston Transcript says: Practical politicians will not blink the plain truth that the overwhelming preference vote for Herbert Hoover in Tuesday’s primaries presages a stiffening of the Hoover courage and chances all over the United States.

What Leading Newspapers Say of Herbert Hoover’s Chances for Nomination

The professional politicians are still rubbing their eyes over what Mr. Hoover did in Ohio. And the whole country is watching Indiana to see whether the self-respecting Republicans of this state will assert themselves by casting an overwhelming vote for Hoover at the pri-

Arthur Sears Henning in Chicago Tribune Herbert Hoover appears destined to go into the Republican national convention with a delegate strength so close to a majority that his nomination for President on the first ballot would not be surprising. • Furthermore, it is entirely possible that Hoover will gain a sufficient number of delegates in the next three or four weeks to establish his nomination on the first ballot as a certainty, in which event the convention battle will be over before it is begun. These conclusions are the result of a survey of the fortunes of the respective candidates for the Republican nomination at the close of this week. Hoover now has approximately 330 of the 1,089 delegates who will sit in the Kansas City convention. Exclusive of Indiana and other states in which his fate remains to be seen, the commerce secretary is assured of about 200 additional delegates who will be chosen in the next five weeks. It therefore is reasonable to calculate that Hoover will go to Kansas City with not less than 500 delegates to his credit. The majority of the convention necessary to nominate is 545. It would take only 45 band wagon jumpers to put him across on the first ballot.

Editorial in New York Herald Tribune As the campaign for the Republican presidential nomination enters its critical month, the supporters of Mr. Hoover have solid grounds for encouragement. The real questions are how the candidacy of Mr. Hoover is appealing to the rank and file of the voters and how effectively that appeal is being translated into convention votes. On both counts the Hoover gains have been significant. First of all, and most important as bearing on the election campaign is the steady development of Hoover support throughout the country. Backing by political leaders is a practical necessity, but the real strength of a candidate rests upon a wider base. The unique and impressive fact of the Hoover campaign is the fashion in which it has stirred spontaneous support in every section of the country. To an extraordinary degree, Mr. Hoover is a national figure and a national candidate, drawing support from every section and every state. Mr. Hoover has not a cathedral-chime voice and he does not wave his arms when he talks. But his engineering is the American kind that handles human beings as well and considerately as it directs machines. He is, in fact, peculiarly and essentially American. No other nation could possibly have produced him.

maries next Tuesday. Never before have Indiana Republicans had such an opportunity to render a great service to their party. Let’s send an Indiana delegation to the Kansas City convention that can hold up its head'and be independent. Let’s put Indiana back in the good graces of the nation.

Philadelphia Inquirer says: There is jubilation in the political camp of Herbert Hoover. It is justified, for the secretary of commerce has mopped up the Ohio floor ivith his enemies andhas overrun Massachusetts. Washington Post says: Herbert Hoover has made a remarkable showing of strength in Ohio. Inasmuch as it was generally believed that a poor showing by him in Tuesday primaries in Ohio would be a setback to his candidacy, it must be admitted by his opponents that his capture of the bulk of the Ohio delegates greatly strengthens him. Atlanta Constitution says: The victory of Secretary Hoover in the Ohio primary Tuesday gives marked impetus to the preconvention candidacy of the one man who is supposed to be the personal choice of President Coolidge for the Republican nomination, and who avowedly represents the present administration's policies all along the line.
