WIN BY PETERS IS ASSURED BY DISTRICT VOTES Lineup Appears to Be 14 to 8 for Re-Election of Democrat Chairman. Pr-elertion of R. Earl Peters a* Democratic state chairman at the reorganization meeting here Saturday seemed virtually assured today a* results were received and checked from the ten district elections Wednesday. It appeared the lineup, estimated pot '-'rvalively, is 14 to 8 for Peters. So intense and bitter was the struggle that deadlocks were reported from two districts the Tenth and the Fifth, and the state committee will decide Saturday as lo who shall be seated. •James Carpenter, head of the automobile licease bureau and leader '( the opposition, went into a 8-9 tie with Charles Wall of Winchester. Peters adherent, and th* result will be certified to the state committer Mrs. John Gubbins. Muncie, staunch supporter of the state chairman, was elected district vice-chairman, however. Grover Garrott I,o*er Grover Garrott. state police chief, another of the opposition leaders, was defeated 10-3 by Alex Pursiey of Hartford City, but a tie developed on .the election of the vicechairman. A third general of The opposition, Lee Bavs of Sullivan, state j boxing commissioner, who came within a vote of taking the state chairmanship from Peters in 1930. wa.s defeated 14-8 by Paul Frye of Linton, and Mrs. Josephine Williams. avowed enemy of the opposition. was elected vice-chairman. Peters won his own district, the Fourth, through the election of Virgil Simmons. Bluffion, and Mrs. Hazel Luckey. Wolf Lake. Frank M*yr Jr, secretary of state, lost his home district, the Third, when Mayor William P. Krau and Miss F’orcnce Smith of Laporte. won the chairman and vice-chairman posts. The Peters group today claimed the following pledged votes: Second. Third. Fourth. Fifth 'one ot<). Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Tenth 'one vote. Opposition Grab* Four The opposition won the Twelfth end First district* last Saturday and took the Eleventh and Ninth on Wednesday. Tiie vire-ebairman in the First is said to b - ' pledged to Peters. Omer Jackson of Greenfield, candidate against Peters for state chairman, was elected Eleventh district chairman, and Mrs. Marcia Murphy of Indianapolis, employe ol the secretary of state, is vice-chair-man Harry Neff of Anderson. Madison county chairman, tied wtth Jackson twice and withdrew- his name on the third ballot. Mrs. Murphy won in a three-way battle The other contenders were Mrs. Ward Canaday of Anderson and Miss Faye Terrill of Indianapolis, former county vice-chair-man. Return Present Regime Mrs. Murphy received her own vote ?nd two from Hancock county; the two Madison county votes went to Mrr. Canaday. and Hendricks Kenworthy voted for Miss Terrill, whose name he had placed in nomination Joseph W. Vcrbarg of North Vernon was elected chairman of the Ninth, after defeating Harry Ferguson. the Peters candidate. Hallie Myers refused to become a contestant in a threp-wav race. Verbark and Mrs. Stella Cisco of Madison. vice-chairman, will be antiPeters. With thP present regime in control .it appeared today that Peters would be re-elected state chairman: Mrs. A. P. Flynn of Logansport. vice-chairman: Marshall Williams of Indianapolis, secretary, and Amos Wood of Indianapolis, treasurer.

THEY TELL ME

TO the student of practical politics as played in the, sovereign state of Indiana, the in- j teresting feature in the fight to defeat R. Earl Peters for re-elec-tion as state chairman, is not whether he would win. as the early returns indicate, but what results rot;ld be accomplished by the opposition with all the weight of the secretary of state's patronage thrown into the balance. Almost a year ago, this oolumn predicted that neither Grover Garrotf. chief ot state police, nor James Carpenter, head of the auto license division, would be re-elected as chairmen of their respective districts. the Fifth and the Tenth. A horse laugh went. up. for all the observers thought that, with sta'e police and license bureau patronage, both boys were sure to go over easily. For months state policemen and auto license department investigators rode the districts, attempting to line up important workers for the opposition. Auto licence branches were distributed not on the basis of worth. bu on the basis of who could offer the most aid to the Peters’ opposition. they tell me. m a a Reports from the Tenth district are that four state police officials and two of Carpenter’s investigators barred the c'oor and would call the names of county officials permitted to enter. Patronage was offered freely as an inducement, they tell me, but all that Carpenter could get was a tie vote with Charles Wall of Winchester, and this result is certified to the state committee, which will decide. Well, the committee evidently is a Peters’ majority, so just pick your own winner. And. at that, the district convention elected a strong supporter of the present regime for vice-chair-man, so Carpenter lost there. Garrott put up a bitter fight against Alex Pursiey. losing 10-8 So close was the situation that election of a vice-chairman was a | tie, and that also will be decided bv the state committee. The same pressure and tactics were used in ! this district for months, but evidently to no avail. a a a Up in the new Third, although both the Elkhart and La Porte county chairmen are auto license branch heads, they voted against the Mayr-Ackerman-Montgomery-Fredrick group. Threats, they tell me. were made that they would lose thr lucrative jobs, yet that didn't, deter them. Now all these county chairmep evidently vote for Peters’ choices because they loved or admired the state chairman. The supporters of Paul V. McNutt. Democratic Governor aspirant, had a great deal to do with whipping them into line, in the jace of all the juicy patronage offers. Disinterested appraisal and study of the situation reveals this salient fact—although Garrott. Carpenter, Rudv Ackerman. Chester Montgomery and the rest of their clique are eminently successful county and local politicians, they seem to lack the necessary traits that go to make state leaders. Conclusion reached is that Peters didn't win—the opposition lost. GRANTED $2,500 AWARD Bondsman Says He Was Beaten With Strap by Competitor. Charging he was beaten with a leather strap in a fight over signing of bonds. Abe Greenspan, professional bondsman, has been awarded $2,500 damages against EH Gmil. bondsman, by a Jury in superior court one. Grrenspan, charging the alleged assault occurred May 4. 1931, near police headquarters, alleged he was injured and embarrassed. He sought SIO.OOO damages.

SENATORS HEAR OF TERRORISM IN MINE AREA Labor Attorney Tells How He and Writer Were Beaten in Kentucky. By f nilrit /Vr* j WASHINGTON. May 12—Allen Taub, attorney for the International Labor Defense, testified before a senate manufacturers' subcommittee today that he and Waldo Frank, writer, were severely beaten by deputy sheriffs while attempting to aid the striking coal miners in southeastern Kentucky. Taub went to Kentucky to assist local counsel in the defense of , the National Miners' Union who were Jailed on charges of criminal syndicalism. Frank was head o.' a committee of writers who were ejected from Kentucky after they attempted to distribute food to the strikers. The committee is holding preliminary hearings on the CostiganCutting resolution to investigate charges of terrorism and violation of constitutional rights on the part of Harlan and Bell counties offi- ' cials. Given Details of Beating Taub said he and Frank were taken from Pineville, Ky., to the Cumberland Gap by a group of deputy sheriffs. “The lights of the automobiles were turned out.” he said, “and Frank and I were attacked. I was struck across the head by a heavy i instrument. Then the lights were ! turned on and one of the men said: “ Now Taub. you can give us a : speech on eonstitutional law and all your rights. That will be the last one you will make in Ken- ! tucky.’ ” Senator Logan 'Dem.. Ky.) asked if Taub or his associates had advocated the overthrow of the American government. Taud said they had not, but admitted some members of the National Miners Union also were members of the Communist party of America. • These crusades to Kentucky must | cost lots of money.’’ said Logan, j “Who pays the expenses?" Witness Is Assailed Taub said money was furnished by the National Miners union, the Workers International Relief and the International Labor Defense. Logan continued his efforts to i get Taub to admit the National „ Miners' union was "backed by Russian money." Taub insisted monev was furnished by miners in all parts of the country. The Kentucky senator leaped to his feet and shouted: j "Your case should be handled by a justice of the peace and should not be made the subject of a congressional investigation.” Malcolm Cowley, associate editor • of The New Republic, a member of Frank's party, testified Deputy Sheriff Bob Asher took food in- | tended for the miners and passed it out “to other deputies and their hangers-on.”
