JOB THREATS HURT 6.0. P. IN THIRDDISTRICT Democratic Majority of 5,000 to 7,000 Is Forecast. (Continued From Eagre One) home of Andrew J. Hickey, G. O. P. congressional candidate, Is expected to return, a Democratic majority of approximately 300 votes for Samuel B. Pettengill, the incumbent. Wetter than the proverbial Atlantic, Pettengill has the advantage of running ior re-election in an almost entirely wet district. Hickey, despite a quasi-moist speech, is listed by .the repeal organizations as “evasive” in his atitude on the question. One factor which almost insures Third district Democratic success is the peace proclaimed by Mayor Riley Hinkle of South Bend, and Chester Montgomery and Rufiy Ackerman, leaders of the St. Joseph county organization. Because of the bitterness of his feud with the pair, Hinkle had forbidden political activity by city employes, but he lifted the ban Saturday and now all Democratic employes are out working hard.

Republicans Call Truce Some Republican factionalism wa3 noted in St. Joseph county because of the attempts of Frank Coughlin, former prosecutor, to seize the organization, but a truce has been declared there, Approximately 70 per cent of the 5,600 members of the Unemployed Council are former Republicans, and they have Indicated a decided trend toward the Democratic ticket. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Paul V. McNutt, and Frederick Van Nuys vie for popularity in the Third, and it is predicted that they will run in the order named. Van Nuys has not campaigned sufficiently in the district. The situation in the three counties is as follows: La Porte—Republican majorities ranging from 1.500 in 1930 to more than 7,000 in 1921 have been common, mainly because it is Hickey’s residence. He had a throttle-hold on that bounty until he was defeated by Pettengill in 1930. Factionalism in both parties there has been halted. City Is Wet Although the rural districts are dry and so will support .Hickey, Michigan City is wet and Y’ill offset the rural majority for him. One source of Democratic .strength is State. Representative Martin Krueger, five times mayor of Michigan City, whose stand for public ownership of utilities in the last session won him great favor. It is possible that he may lead the entire ticket in his race for re-election. Estimated Democratic majority of 500. Elkhart—Although Republican majorities have averaged 5,000 in past congressional elections. Pettengill carried it by 3 votes in 1930. It has been strongly Republican and went out of the fold in 1912, when Albert Beveridge carried it for Governor as a Bull Mooser and Robert Proctor, Democratic leader, who is very active in this campaign, was elected state senator. Watson Is Hated Dissatisfaction with the Hoover administration is exceedingly great and Watson is hated thoroughly. In 1928, when the senator ran for the Republican primary nomination for President, the county organization would have nothing to do with his campaign. A play for former klan support of the Republican ticket has been made by a former lecturer of the hooded order, H. 6. Beauchamp, but to no avail, evidently.

Roosevelt is very popular, as are Van Nuys and McNutt. The Democratic majority may reach 1.000. Socialists are working hard here and may obtain 1,000 votes. St. Joseph—Republican by majorities of from 5.000 to 9.500 in 1920, 1924. and 1928. but gave Pettengill a majority of 4.897 in 1930. Because of widespread unemployment. popularity of Pettengill and the entire ticket* it is expected to return a Democratic majority of at least 5,000. Because of the larger population and activity the Socialists may poll 2,000 votes in this county. . That's the picture in the Third.

And, in the two weeks elapsing until Nov. 8. the size of the majority may increase because of tactics pursued by the Republican organization in this district toward the Democratic county clerks and election commissioners and results from a curious slip. Apparently uninformed regarding the statutes covering filing of county tickets in St. Joseph and Elkhart, the secretary of the party in the counties forgot to have the petitions indorsing the list of local candidates notarized and so stood in danger of having them ruled off the ballots.

This did not the state and national Socialist tickets, but would have prohibited listing of the local candidates. Frank Nevins, county clerk, however, declared that in his opinion, the names could go on the ballot, because the error was a mere technicality. The other Democratic election official voted with him. In another county in the district, the local ticket was filed before the stipulated time. But the clerk recorded it on the specified day, and the commissioners ruled that the action of the clerk prevailed. Because of these acts, the Socialists have combined with the Democrats in providing watchers at the polls on election day and an entente cordiple prevails.

GRAND JURORS PROBE AFFAIRS OF CEMETERY / Await Receipt of Records From Receiver of Defunct Firm.

Investigation of affairs of the defunct Glen * Haven Cemetery Association, which several years ago, constructed a cemetery’ on Kessler boulevard, nonhwest of the city, has been started by the county grand jury. Oscar Hagemeier. grand jury deputy prosecutor, announced that his probe would be continued immediately on receipt of records from John Rochford, attorney and receiver. Management and condition of the cemetery was scored by more than 100 persons who met Wednesday night in the English, at the call of L. W. Heagy. 43 Harris avenue, owner of lots and former salesman for the association. The cemetery first was in the spotlight several years ago when selection of the site on the boulevard was announced and a securities commission probe of the stock issues was instituted. According to Hagemeier. the situation was laid before the grand jury by lot purchasers and receipt of the records probably will result in summoning of additional witnesses. Paul Wetter, former municipal judge and holder of three lots, at the Wednesday night meeting, demanded to know w’hy “planned improvements had not been made.” Lot holders told stories of the alleged advertising prospectus bubble having burst, and now’ a mass of weeds and cinders cover the cemetery. One woman at the meeting said she had cut weeds from her cemetery property. It also was charged that a maintenance , fund now should have reached more than $50,000, but investigation had revealed it contained only $129.
