BOOM MYERS , FOR SENATE IN i 1932 ELECTION Democratic Editors Strike Keynote of Coming Campaign. Although members of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association to- : day went about their duties of elect- j lng officers for the ensuing year in; prosaic manner, their minds were; occupied with thoughts of the 1932 political election. The bellwether note was struck. at the mid-winter dinner of the I association. Thursday night at the ! Claypool, by Dick Heller of the Decatur Democrat, outgoing president, in his introduction of the principal speakers. At the business session today Claude G. Brodhecker, Brownstown Banner, was elected president, succeeding Heller Wolfe Is Vice-President Other officers named: Clarehce Wolfe, New Harmony, first vicepresident; Wray E. Fleming, Shelbyvtlle, second vice-president; Frank Finney, Martinsville, third vicepresident; W. G. Minor, Cannelton, secretary, and Scott B. ‘Chambers. Newxastle, treasurer. Heller presented Walter Myers, j Speaker of the house of representatives as “the successor in 1932 to , Senator James E. Watson.” Then as Paul V. McNutt, Demo- i cratic keynoter and dean of the In- j diana law school rose, the president j said: “Down deep in their hearts the! Republicans join with us in know-! mg that he will be the next Gov-1 ernor.” Although Myers, who made the principal address gave no mention to the Introduction. McNutt, who has been hearing the same thing lor some time declared: Asks Nothing for Self 'I seek nothing for myself. I primarily am interested in one ■ thing, the redemption of the state j of Indiana and its restoration to its j place of glory which it held under Marshall, Ralston, *Shively and j Kern. If it is *y part to march In the j ranks as in the past, I shall do that to the best of my ability. If it is my part to do more than that T shall do that to the best of my a billy.” Discussing work of the legislature, Myers indicated that much more j work should be done by the assembly. A note for abolition of township and counties and consolidation of various units in order to curb duplication of expenditures was struck by the Speaker, who, after commenting on how three different departments construct roads, declared: Cost Cut Is “Rub” How can local costs be cut? Aye, there’s the rub. Perhaps that time will come when townships as they now exist wlil be abolished, when several counties will be made into j one and when the practice of mergers in private business will be applied to the conduct of public affairs. . . . Why should there be different agencies for doing the same thing? “Why not apply the genius of the administration of American business to public affairs instead of lighting private business because it has succeeded where public business has failed?” Both Myers and McNutt scored the national administration and denounced the behavior of President Hoover in the depression.

in its .929 report, that consolidation of rai roads in accordance with the transportation act “is very likely to be partially or even wholly defeated” by holding company activities. It found one of the principal purposes of holding companies is “escaping the full regulations of the interstate commerce commission accounting inspection and publicity.” Abolition of the holding company was not suggested, however That virtually every major railroad consolidation of the past decade has been effected through holding companies and without approval of the interstate commerce com- i mission as a matter of common j knowledge among railroad men and j members of the commission, which . is powerless to act in such cases.

guard cutters on the high seas has ' forced many little schooners in the 1 Nova Scotia rum fleet out of business temporarily, at least. In one port at least the cessation of fleet activities was blamed on the Josephine K. incident off New York in which its captain, William Cluett, was fatally mounded in shell fire from a coast guard cutter. That port is Lunnenburg whose vessel owners were affected most by the cessation of trade by the rum fleet. “A rum runner is outnumbered : five to one by coast guard craft, and they have superior speed with full authority to shoot without discrimination,” one vessel owner explained. Twenty schooners have been laid up at Lunnenburg within the past | week. Some owners report they j

never will return to the trade: others say they’ll await a lull in coast guard activities.
