START MOVE TO RUN FREDERICK FOR SECRETARY Supporters Press Claim as Business Executive of High Caliber. BY BEN STERN A ihovement toward the nomination of John E Frederick. Kokomo, as the Democratic candidate for secretary of state, was well under way this week with prominent members of the party aiding in the “buildup.'’ Frederick, who is president of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, was a . candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor in 1928 and made a close race. His supporters are advancing the Claim that as a well-known business executive of the state, he is qualified for the secretary of state's post, which requires sound executive ability. At the same time. Dr. Otto A. Noland. Spencer dentist, has announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for secretary of state. Dr. Noland is Democratic chairman of Spencer and worked hard to obtain victory for his party’s ticket in the city election. Mayor at 28 Beared in Missouri, he was elected mayor of Lagrange, Mo., when only 28. He later moved to Spencer, where he was elected a member of the town council. Southern Indiana Democrats are urging that Harvey Harmon of Princeton, former member of the state public service commission and the party's candidate for attorneygeneral in 1924, be nominated for the supreme court. Two Republican candidates from the First judicial district have announced. They are the incumbent supreme court judge, Benjamin Willoughby, and Judge Thomas B. Coulter of Knox circuit court. Willoughby has declared the district organization should follow precedent and indorse him for renomination, while many of the district leaders declare that Coulter is much more popular and would make a better candidate. Many After Fifieltl Republican leaders are making a determined effort to find a candidate to oppose Otto G. Fifield for renomination for secretary of state. James M. Knapp of Hagerstown, speaker of the 1929 legislature, answered reports he might be a candidate for the secretaryship* by declaring emphatically today he is not a candidate for that post, but already has announced for the legislature and the speakership. The political ball will be put into the active play by the Democrats next Thursday, when the State Editorial Association and the state committee meet here. Names of candidates will be mentioned then in an effort to feel out sentiment. 1.500 Expected An attendance of more than 1.500 is expected for the banquet Thursday night when Claude G.

CONTESTS JUDGMENT Former Policy Holder Sues Insurance Exchange. Suit to test validity of judgments against former policy holders in the William Penn Motor Indemnity Exchange was on file in civil municipal court four today by Martin McDaniel, Lawrence, a policy holder. Judgments have been obtained against several hundred Marion county residents as result of suits filed during the past year by the insurance commissioner of Pennsylvania on grounds that policy holders failed to pay assessments levied after the exchange became insolvent. McDaniel’s suit, filed by John F. Linder, attorney, contends the judgments are void because no service was made on individual policy holders w'hen suit was brought against them. It is contended also the statute of limitations prevents assessment collection. If collected, this additional assessment will cost 4,000 policy holders in the state about $12,000 additional.
