DEMOCRATS PLAN INTENSIVE EFFORT

Short Campaign Decided Upon at Conference of Party Leaders. Bu Timex Special BEDFORD, ind., June 21.—Plans for a short, intensive Democratic campaign this fall to last no longer thah a month, were discussed at a conference of state and congressional candidates with members of the state committee here this morning. The conference was held while members of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association visited the new Spring Mill state park near Mitehell. Democratic champaigns of the past have been too long drawn, declared R. Earl Peters, Ft. Wayne, state chairman, and have lost their punch two or three weeks before the election. District chairmen were asked to call together their county chairmen and plan for intensive organization meetings. Financial details of the campaign also was discussed. The editors and friends were luncheon guests of Thomas D. Taggart, at the French Lick Springs hotel.

Two Issues Defined Two issues will be paramount in the 1930 campaign, “honesty and tax relief,” declared Waiter Myers, Indianapolis- candidate for representative from Marion county, who made the principal address at a banquet Friday night given in honor of the editors by the Indiana Limestone Company. “The Democratic party stands four square on both issues. The character nominees for state office and for congress meets the first issue, while the platform adopted at the state convention takes care of the second.” Myers pointed out that for two years more there will be a Republican Governor and senate; therefore there must be a Democratic house of representatives “which will have to go slowly and be sure that it is right.” “When a measure is proposed it must be so sound that its very substance will put behind it such a powerful force of public opinion that the Republican Governor and senate dare not oppose. The party must forget politics and everything else except the best interests of the people of Indiana. The way to conquer is to be so everlastingly right that even death can not change it. “There is something uncommonly wholesome in the people of Indiana. They may be duped and deceived by political scoundrels, but they send them to serve terms In prison as well as in office. The tendency to trust too far springs from innate honesty.” H Myers delivered Parthian shots at President Hoover, “the miracle man,” and discussed the present economic situation, placing emphasis on what he declared to be the “failure of agricultural relief promised by the national administration.” Praises Party Editors Praise of Democratic newspapers was voiced by Peters, who declared that the “Democratic party of the state acknowldeges a debt of gratitude to the editors who unselfishly, energetically and intelligently have waged the fight for its success.” He discussed the platform pledge of returning the government to the people as against “the Republican contention that by divine right a favored few shall rule the destiny of mankind,” and declared that to be the single issue. Aspects of the state political situation were also discussed by Claude E. Gree, former mayor of Vincennes, and Dale J. Crittenberger, veteran Anderson publisher. Eugene B. Crowe, Bedford, Third district nomine for representative in congress, was toastmaster.
