EDITORS HEAR ! 1930 KEYNOTE OF DEMOCRATS Watson, Robinson Flayed at Indiana Publishers’ Session, F T ••• >'n f " LAKE JAMES. Ind., June 3. Under injunction to carry on their party’? battles undismayed by de- , feat, Indiana's Democratic editors. 1 attending tire annual outing of the : Indiana Democratic Editorial Asso- j ciai-on, turned today from politics j to play.

Frederick VanNuys, Indianapolis ; arnrr.ev and former district attor - j ney, sounded the keynote Friday I nigh' at the banquet in Rotarian ; hour' here for the 1930 off-year ] election. i Encouraged >v Defeat VanNuys found encouragement rather than discouragement in the i Democratic defeat in Indiana in ; 1928. for hp pointed out that Frank j C. Dailey lost the governorship by I only 44.658 votes in the face of Hoover's tremendous majority. He lauded Governor Alfred F,. j <s m i*h for hi sincerity, attributed I his defeat to his religion and dealt ; harshly with Republicans who j "connived” Smith’s defeat, inelud- j mg United States Senators James E. Wc'son and Arthur R- Robinson. The day will come when the people of this state and nation will j pay grra rr tribute to A! Smith and j the Democratic party in their de- I feat, than to certain officials now in office who contributed to that defeat and secured their own election through connivance with those who flaunted the law' and the timehem ore ! covenants of the Constitution.'' Van Nuys declared. Flays Watson, Robinson He referred to the constitutional guarantee of freedom of religion and the provision that, "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States. "I refer, among others, to our present Republican United States senators from Indiana and particularly to the junior Republican senator from this state," Van Nuys continued. -We have charged and now repeat the charge that our present Republican senators are the servile beneficiaries of that pernicious system in Indiana which for several years directed its poisonous and unholy attacks at the very cffidals of constitutional liberty. Called "Political Profiteer” "The junior senator, especially is so situated that he knows better than you and I, the truth of the charge which we are now making against him. Yet not once during all the years when the good citizens of Indiana, irrespective of party affiliation. were trying to free the state from the throes of that system of debauchery and corruption did either he or his more experienced and wily colleague raise his voice in support of those citizens who were making for a cleaner and better state. “With crossed fingers and bated breath, these two senators from Indiana successfully wormed their way through two campaigns, political profiteers at a time when redblooded men of courage and resolution were battling for the survival of principles which were near and dear to the American people." 2,000 TO GET DEGREES Indiana.
