DEMOCRATS GET FREE HAMS AT DISTRICT RALLY Myers, Stump Speak After Sullivan Pleads for Party Harmony, BY BEN SJERN The “Yellow Ticket,” which denoted so much In czaristic Russia, took on anew meaning today in Marion county, when hundreds of persons proudly showed the hams awarded holders of the lucky numbers at the new Eleventh district Democratic rally at Tomlinson hall Thursday “>yht. Approximately 30,000 yellow tickets were distributed over the eastern part of the county, which with Madison and Hancock comprises the new Eleventh district. As each person entered the hall, he dropped the stub of the ticket into a box. Three hundred and fifty stubs were drawn and awards made. Mayor Reginald H. Sullilvan made a plea for party harmony and surcease of factional discord. Skies Never Brighter “The skies never have looked so blight a year in advance as they do today for our party. But let’s not permit the contests for nomination next year to reach the ugly stage,” he pleaded. The real high point was struck when, for the first time in Indiana political history, a Negro minister advanced to the rostrum at a large Democratic meeting, and exhorted his race to “join hands with the followers of Jefferson.” The Rev. O. H. Banks of the A. M. E. church brought the several hundred Negroes present to their feet, cheering. Pointing out that Jefferson was a firm opponent of slavery, Banks declared “the roll call shows that the Democratic party is our friend. Democrats died on southern battlefields that I might be free.” Charles E. Cox, former judge of the supreme court acted as permanent chairman. He introduced county officials and members of the legislature and Democratic leaders of the three counties. Walter Myers, speaker of the 1931 legislature and contender for the nomination for United States senator then was introduced. Called for Myers The entire meeting, it had been charged, had been engineered by Hendricks Kenworthy, Democratic leader to foster the aspirations of Myers. In order not to dim his idol’s luster, Kenworthy issued a general invitation to candidates, but made no particular effort to invite Albert Stump, twice the party’s nominee for senator and so far easily Myers’ most dangerous contender. Stump’s friends loudly expressed their ire and, Thursday afternoon, on the very eve of the rally, his presence was solicited. Myers discussed the recent political development over the nation, and paid especial attention to the evidence unfolded at the recent meeting of the senate lobby committee, which showed that Senator James E. Watson obtained sugar stock prior to discussion and enactment of the Smoot-Hawley tariff. He painted a picture of the opprobrium which would have come to a Democratic senator so implicated. Then, turning his attention to the depression, Myers pointed out that, taxes must be reduced, and agriculture must be aided and offered as panaceas, reduction of public expenditure for the first and reforestation for the latter. Stump Surprise Speaker Stump was called forward as a surprise speaker and picking up the threads where Myers had left off. continued weaving. a picture of capitalism waxing still more fat in the depression. Among the party leaders present and introduced were R. Earl Peters, state chairman; Dale Crittenberger veteran Anderson publisher; Mrs. Carl Wood, vice chairman of the old Seventh district; Harry Neff. Madison county chairman; Jack Edwards, mayor of Marion and a host of others.

FINANCES OF COUNTY ‘FINE,’ ASSERTS DUNN Condition Is Excellent, Says Auditor as He Draws Up Statistics. Marion county’s financial condition is excellent, according to Harry Dunn, county auditor, who is preparing a statistical digest in connection with the proposed sale on Dec. 11 of $65,000 of bonds for the continuation of the track elevation project. Including this with the listing of outstanding bond issues, Dunn declares that the county’s bonded indebtedness totals $8,200,820. This is slightly more than 50 per cent of the indebtedness permitted under the state Constitution, which provides for a maximum of 2 per ; cent of the total assessed real and personal property in the county, which totals $797,548,080. Estimated on this basis, the 2 per cent limitation would permit in-

debtedness of $15.5*50.961. Thus a’ margin of $7,750,141 for indebted- • ness remains. The total amount of estimated returns on the county levy for the last four years Has been as follows* 1928, $29,398,495; 1929, $21,850,591.57; 1930, $21,862,666, and 1931, $21,398,675. Delinquencies over the four years have totaled the following; 1928, $284,184; 1929, $247,376: 1930. $493.116. and as of Nov. 23 for 1931, $764,990. On Jan. 1. 1931, there was $493.116.43 delinquent. Dunn declared. During the year since that date, there has been collected from the delinquency. $447,000. leaving a balance on Nov. 23. of $46,116.43, which is included in the total delinquent figures of that day. This total, $764,990 is equivalent to 3 per cent of the real estate and personal property tax uncollected and can be considered an excellent financial showing.
