LESLIE PLAYING TO ‘INTERESTS,’ SAYS VAN NIfYS Rally Speaker Says He Fears Special Session Would Hurt 'Pets/ BY BEN STERN Timvt Staff Correspondent LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. 20—Feai that privileged and special interests In the state may be affected adversely by proposed legislation deters Governor Harry G. Leslie from calling a special session of the assembly, charged Frederic Van Nuys Indianapolis attorney, at the new Second district Democratic rallj here Tuesday night. "In the face of an unanimous call for relief from oppressive taxation and the demand for hungry and distressed, such as the 2,000 who stand in the bread lines of this city, Governor Leslie refuses to call the general assembly together in extraordinary session. "Why? Because the Governor fears that the privileged and special Interests, of whose needs' and cares the Republican party is most anxious, may be affected by legislation for the people,” declared Van Nuys. Attacks Mellon Attacking the Andrew Mellon domination of the treasury, he charged that the secretary is holding the office in violation of the laws and that he “is not serving the people but the giant corporation in which he is financially interested.” Van Nuys warned the Democratic party that if elected to power next November, the victory should be hailed not as a period of rejoicing but as one of dedication. "The Democratic party has a world of constructive work ahead of it,” he said. "A scientific tariff, written in the interests of all classes of people, instead of a privileged few, and also in contemplation of world conditions, should be'on the program. "There must be a revamping of the government along more democratic lines, and this would include abolition of innumerable boards, bureaus and commissions, both state and federal, which not only have taken away the right of the individual citizen to the pursuit of industry and happiness, but have filched from him his self-reliance, initiative and respect for law. ‘Prevent Depressions’ "There also must be readjustments of our industrial and economic affairs in such a way that never again in this country, with granaries bursting with the fruits of the soil, and with banks overflowing with gold, will G,000,000 men tramp the streets in search of that one opportunity to v/hich every American citizen is entitled, a chance to make a living for himself and family.” Van Nuys compared the state and national Democratic administrations with those of the Republicans, to the disadvantage of the latter. Thomas McConnell of Fowler, old Tenth district chairman, was in charge of the meeting. R. Earl Peters, state chairman, and Mrs. A. P. Flynn, vice-chairman, were introduced and spoke brief,y. Others introduced were Appellate Judges Posey Kime, Harvey Curtis and A. C. Wood. Dr. G. R. Coffin of Monticello, candidate for the congressional nomination and .James P. Hughes of Greencastle, candidate for supreme court judge. A rousing reception was given Paul V. McNutt, outstanding contender of the nomination for Governor, who did not speak.
