CLAIMS DEFEAT OF G. 0, P. ONLY HOPEOFSTATE Dailey Holds Republicans to Blame for Graft" Upon Public. “The remedy, and the only remedy, for existing conditions in Indiana is to put the Republican party out of power and to put the Democratic party in,” declared Frank C. Dailey, candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor, at a State-wide mass meeting Thursday night in Tomlinson Hail. “I submit that the most important question before the people of Indiana.” Dailey said, "is to take this State out of the hands of fcoodlers, grafters and corruptionists, and place its oontrol once more in the hands of its citizens.” Dailey scored corruption in Hcosier politics and asserted unfit men had been selected because the people of Indiana have not been informed, but misled. Taxpayers, he said, are paying double to have the State’s business done inproperly. He recounted "not in joy but in sorrow” the indictment of twentyone office holders and three "bosses of the Republican party,” recalled the conviction of Clyde Walb, former Republican State chairman, and took issue with Senator James E. Watson's assertion that the crimes “were not political.” Watson was termed “one of the leading beenficiaries of this term of misrule.” "I don’t know what he considers political crimes,” Dailey said. “He is a stickler for language. He seeks to relieve his party from responsibility when men elected by a crooked political machine, not only offered, but accepted numerous bribes.” Dailey charged State funds were deposited in banks throughout the State in turn for contributions to campaign funds. “You might make a mental comparison between the last three Governors elected by the Repub-I

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

2-YEAR TERMS SUGGESTED ON COMMISSION Committee Named to Draft Amendment to Present School Law. Attorney Albert Baker, co-author of the present school election law, j today began preparation of a pro- : posed amendment to be submitted ito the State Legislature providing ! for election of Indianapolis school ! commissioners every two years. | Baker, former school attorney, to- | gether with G. A. Mellett, chairman i of the Chamber of Commerce education committee, and William H. | Book, civic affairs director, were named on a sub-committee at the ! rducation committee meeting Wednesday to prepare such a bill. Terms Now Four Years Under the present school law, five Indianapolis school commissioners are elected at one time for four year terms, three taking office in January following the election and the other two taking office two years later. Principal objections to the present system, according to Book, are that the two commissioners do not take office for two years, when, perhaps, the wave of sentiment responsible for their election has abated and different sentiment has arisen. Under the proposed amendment, three commissioners would be elected in 1929 at the city manager election, and would take office Jan. 1, 1930, when terms of the present majority faction commissioners expire. Two others would be elected in 1931 and three in 1933, alternating three and two each city election. Exhaustive Study Made The education committee plans to ask other civic organizations to consider the proposed amendment of school laws. This committee has made an exhaustive study of conditions h°~e and in other cities in the past year. Methods of’election of scuoi. to imissioners in many other cities have been studied, together with benefits and ill effects of such systems.

Cock-a - Doodle-Doo Ton rney Flops; Roosters Would Be Heard, Not Seen

By United Press ROCKLAND, Maine, May 4.—Knox County has held its first rooster-crowing contest, but the winner probably never will be known. The five prize birds entered iri the cock-a-doodle-doo tourney remained stubbornly silent during most of the contest, while members of the Grange waited patiently for the'battle of noise to begin. Finally it was decided that the bright lights of Glen Cove Hall were responsible for the roosters’

SHUMAKER ATTACKS CHARGE BY GILLIOM

Ba United Press SOUTH BEND. Ind., May 4.—Because Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom did not deny he was “a wet of record,” E. S. Shumaker, superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, today asked the St. Joseph Circuit Court to quash the charge of violating the corrupt practices act filed against him by Gilliom. Gilliom placed the charge against the dry leader because the Indiana edition of the American Issue, AntiSaloon League publication, listed him as a wet. Replying today, Shumaker’s attorneys assailed Gilliom’s affidavit as innuendo because of its charge that the American Issue listing was intended to indicate the attorney general favored sale of alcoholic beverages. The defense asserted the affidavit should be thrown out because of Gilliom's failure to call Shumaker’s statement false and his neglect to deny that he was "a wet of record.” The motion will be argued later.

silence and someone suggested that the lights be extinguished. In the friendly darkness, the quintet of chanticleers crowed lustly, but then anew obstacle arose. The judges couldn’t determine which rooster was doing the best crowing. When the lights were switched on, the crowing ceased, and Grangers reluctantly decided that, unlike hog-calling and flagpole sitting contests, a rooster-crowing contest was impracticable.

Appearance for Shumaker was made today by S. J. Crumpacker, Republican county chairman here; Dan Pyle, Democratic dry crusader; E. A. Miles. Anti-Saloon League attorney, and Harry S. Taylor.

HINT SHAKEUP DUE IN CHICAGO PBLICECIRCLES ‘Big Bill’ and Company Plan Drastic Changes, Rumor Holds. Bn Cnilcd Press CHICAGO, May 4.—Rumors persistently float around the city hall that Mayor William Hale Thompson and his followers are planning some drastic shake-ups in the police and other departments. It is whispered that the prime displacement would be that of Commissioner of Police Michael Hughes. The mayor tersely remarks that there is nothing to the report, but since he moved into the city hall this week, establishing his headquarters in the mayoral offices for the first time since his current term, predictions have been made that big things are coming. The Swanson-Deneen faction's victory in the recent primary is pointed to as the moving factor behind a shake-up. A “new deal” in the underworld and a general reform were said to be behind the replacements. Should the mayor change his lineup and put into office men who would fall in line with the reform move of Senator Charles S. Deneen and Judge John Swanson, there naturally would tend to be a more lenient bent in the political direction of the Crowe-Thompson group, a political observer told the United Press today.
