CORRUPTION IN G. 0. P. ASSAILED BY JOTTER Honesty in Government Is Simms ? Cry at Democrat Convention. “Honesty in government'’ was the battle cry sounded for Indiana Democrats today, when Dan W. Simms, Lafayette attorney, as keynote speaker at the Democratic State convention in Cadle Tabernacle, applied all the adjectives in his extensive vocabulary to denunciation of Republican corruption in office. “There is an issue confronting the voters of Indiana in this campaign," he said, “so insidious in its character; so malevolent in its purpose; so revolting and shocking to the decency and the conscience of men and women of both parties; so vile and slanderous to the good name and honor of the State and its citizens, that it must be met with and disposed of at once and forever. “Meanwhile, the divergent opinions that separate the parties must be held in abeyance until this foul issue of fate is determined by the voters at the polls.’’ Praises Democratic Policies Simms’ arraignment of corruption after a long eulogy of Democratic principles and policies, in which he attacked both the national and State administrations and picked to pieces the keynote address delivered by George M. Barnard at the Republican State convention. The chief issue, he said, “arises not between the Democratic party upon one hand and the great voting strength of the Republicah party upon the 9ther. The cleavage is drawn clear and sharp between the present false and unauthorized leadership of the Republican party upon the one hand and the great heart of Hoosierdom upon the other.’’ Questions tendered by the issue of corruption, he said, include: “Shall the leaders who speak and act for a great political party be honest or dishonest? Assails Corruption "Shall the men chosen to execute and administer the laws be required faithfully to discharge the duties of their trust, or shall they be permitted to capitalize the honor conferred in confidence upon them, prostitute the position they hold by grace, and drag the proud name of the State and of its people through the slime of dishonor and disgrace? “Shall bribery and embezzlement and forgery and perjury or murder by those who speak and act with authority for the State or political party be condoned, excused or tolerated?” Simms referred scathingly to the leadership of “Chairman Walb, of George Coffin, of D. C. Stephenson, of John Duvall, William Buser, Roy Crouch, Richard Sipe, Ray Albert- j son, Earl Garrett and Governor Jackson.” He asked if Coffin, who resigned as Marion County Retpublican chairman, “as a gesture toward housecleaning'' end who then was elected Republican Seventh district chairman, shall “be commissioned anew to carry on the orgy of the last eight years?” Jackson Is Denounced Governor Jackson came in for harsh denunciation as “the only Governor, living or dead, who was indicted and tried by a jury of his peers for the crime of attempting to bribe his predecessor in office and who escaped conviction because the evidence that the statute of limitations had expired before the State learped of the crime and the State was unable to prove concealment.” “Democrats and Republicans honestly may disagree upon matters based on opinion,” Simms concluded, “but the absolute necessity for common honesty, for sterling integrity on the part of those men whom we trust and honor with leadership in the public service, lies far beyond the domain of debates.” PRAIRIE FIRES RAGING 20,000 Acres Burned Over With Losses of More Than §1,000,000. fiii United Press SACRAMENTO, Gal., June 6.

Most dreams are flighty things—but most of them not so truly “flighty” as those of the Misses Louise and Arzelie Brodeur, 2617 E. St. Clair. Day dreams of soaring above the clouds, and perhaps even of flying across the Atlantic, are not uncommon in the minds of the Misses Brodeur as they sell dolls in the Brodeur Doll Shop, 201 State Life Bldg. The Misses Brodeur are “ground” fliers now. But some day soon they hope to have planes of their own. They’re not afraid of the air and even the thought of flying across the Atlantic does not appall them. Complete Flying Ground Course Saturday they completed the Y. M. C. A. ground school aviation course. In this course they learned meteorology, aerial photography and mapping; navigation, theory of flight, motors and other parts of the plane and what “makes an airplane fly.” “Now that we have learned the theory of flying, we hope soon to be able to take a course in flying and learn how to pilot ships ourselves,” Miss Louise Brodeur said. “Arzelie has been up in an airplane six or seven times and has done all kinds of stunts. I have only been up three times and haven’t done any stunts except for a few banks and turns, but it won't be long until I. catch up with her, I hope. Aviation Getting Safer “If it didn’t cost so much, Arzelie and I would take a flying course right away. I believe that in a year or so courses will be priced so anyone can afford to take one. Now it costs $250 or more besides the cost of your plane.” The girls first became actively interested in aviation when Cot Charles A. Lindbergh flew the Atlantic. “We decided right then we would like to learn to fly.” Arzelie said. “I wouldn’t mind flying the Atlantic myself. I feel sure some woman will make a trans-oceanio flight before the summer is over. "Aviation is getting safer and safer. It is so safe now I don’t se° why anyone would hesitate to take a trip in any well-constructed plane with a good pilot.”

PETERS PLEADS FOR HONESTY IN OPENING SPEECH Declares Victory Must Be More Than on G. 0. P. Weaknesses. “A victory predicted wholly upon the weakness and corruption in the leadership of the Republican party would be an empty one,” declared R. Earl Peters, Democratic State chairman in the opening speech of the Democratic State convention today. “Our responsibility as Democrats has just begun when we have called attention to breaking down of constituted authority,” he said. “We must base our hope for victory upon a constructive program rooted in honor and fairness, with which to s,erve the aspirations of the lawabiding and the liberty loving citizens oJ Indiana.” Campaign for Honesty “For the consummation of that, program.” the State chairman declared, “we will mobilize a great ermv. We will carry the fight to the ramparts of entrenched corruption. We will not slacken our march until the citizens of Indiana shall witness the dawn of anew day in simple governmental honesty.” Peters bitterly denounced corruption under the Republican State administration. but held that “Democrats and Republicans alike have shared in the shame that governmental debauchery has brought to Indiana. They are sickened by the blatant boasts of a corrupt machine that its manipulators can continue in power despite their betrayal of an honorable citizenship.” “This hour brings solemn responsibility to the hosts of Democracy,” he said at, the outset of his address “An outraged public conscience,’ against which the statute of limitations does not run. awaits the decisions of this convention more hopefully and eagerly than those of any convention in Indiana’s history. Hinges on Today’s Session “Our worthiness to lead the fight for Indiana and her people will be measured bv the result of our deliberations here today and I have faith that no selfish motive or aspiration will intrude itself upon this assemblage. “Repeated promises of a ‘new deal’ have flattered the credulity and insulted the intelligence of the electorate. Following the Governor’s trial for attempted bribery leading Republicans professed indignation that he should continue in office after what they termed a tacit admission of guilt. “Republican newspapers demanded his resignation and for his refusal feted and applauded him at their spring banquet. Flavs Jackson, Coffin “Two Republican candidates for Governor in the recent primary Adams and Landis, and two Republican candidates for the senatorial nomination. Gilliom and Carter, publicly denounced what they termed corrupt Republican leadership and demanded unmistakable evidence of a ’new' deal ’ ‘ The manipulators responded by elevating from county to district chairmanship. George Coffin, erstwhile co-defendant of Governor Jackson. They elected as delegate tc the national convention a Governor whose resignation had been demanded, but whose administration had been indorsed by resolution. China Pirates Raided HONG KONG.
