Editor Time — T ASKED my grocer what he thougnt of the outcome of the election. He sidestepped -the question in an embarrassed way, but finally said that he had been told a few days ago that two Indianapolis manufacturers had passed the word to their employes that in all probability they would be forced to close their plants permanently if Roosevelt was elected. I asked the grocer if the plants were in operation now\ but he didn't know. I told him it was a 10 to 1 bet that the plants wouldn't close if Roosevelt was elected, but it would be Divine justice if they did. There is a whispering campaign by unscrupulous Republican politicians to undermine the already broken morale of the workers by threatening further demoralization. Os course, any thinking worker knows conditions could not be any worse as far as he is concerned. Attempts of the Hoover politicians to destroy the confidence of the people in their government is little short of criminal. Workers, do not be stampeded by this ghastly joke. Vote these birds out of office! C. S. G. tt tt tt Editor Timm — A DAY or two ago an editorial appeared in the Indianapolis Star, under the caption "The Paramount Issue.” The article quoted a man, apparently a satelite of Hoover, who claimed that the greatest calamity that could befall the American people would be a change of administration right now. He went on to say that in the event of Roosevelt's election, we would be obliged to suffer for four months from what he pleases to call, ‘‘standstill government.” Now I ■would like to know just the kind of government this country has been having for the last four years? If it has not been standstill government, then pray, what has it been? True, Hoover has appointed countless commissions for the avowed purpose of alleviating one evil or another, but just as soon as the money allotted for the commission was exhausted, it became defunct. If the long-suffering American people can put up with such gov- i ernment for forty months, then i surely they can stand four months • more of the same, bad as it is.- • P. H. TRAVERS. nun -r . Editor Times — BY what moral right does Senator Borah malign Alfred E. Smith, when the latter chooses to make a decided stand on the wet and dry issue in the coming election? A1 Smith is man enough to come clean with the people, and, standing squarely on both his Irish feet, declare he is wet, and ‘‘l made that plank in the platform!” Does Borah forget that he declined the leadership of the Prohibition party, after leaders strenuously had urged him to become head of the ticket? Why did he refuse? Because he was fearful they could not guarantee him enough “political background.” That's the kind of a dry he is—a straddle dry. He did not want to jeopardize his political prestige, and throw in, as a moral support, to the Prohibition party, the weight and leadership his name might have offered. HAROLD F. HUTCHINSON, Frankfort, Ind. bum Editor Times — THE local issue of the day seems to be the subject of cutting public expenses. The council finds itself in the delicate and thankless position of deciding where the ax shall fall. Two important subjects have arisen. One is the idea of reducing the school term to eight months; the other is the proposed cut of Sunnyside's budget from a rate ot 2S cents to 2 cents. In round figures, this would be about $30,000 worth of reduction to bp shouldered by Sunnyside. Lowering the school term is one evil; cutting the Sunnyside budget is another evil. A word about Sunnyside. That Institution barely is getting by on its present appropriation. All employes have had salary cuts, and are receiving what fairly might be termed as minimal wages. Therefore, no further saving can be expected from this source. Furthermore, there are no “created” positions at Sunnyside. Every one on the pay roll has a specific work to do daily. Therefore, no further saving can be expected in the way of eliminating employes. Should the budget be cut. Sunnyside could meet the cut in one way only by wholesale discharge of patients. This means that a large number of active T. B. cases will have to be turned loose to become an additional possible source of infection to the public. Sunnyside is dedicated to the humane task of restoring health to the unfortunate victims of tuberculosis; to, insofar as possible, segregate active cases, and to educate the public in prevention of tuberculosis. For the county to fail in this duty now is to break the morale of those who for many years have labored to stamp out white plague. With regard to cutting the school term, a clamor of protest has followed what many are pleased to term ‘'hamstringing the schools.” How about "hamstringing" public health? That the ax must fall somswhere is certain. Let the council choose the lesser two evils, and reduce the school term. For the benefit of the public at large, and the school children in particular, let us Ifbt add any further hazards to health. A BYSTANDER.

GREAT HOOSIER GRID ELEVENS INVADE EAST Notre Dame Faces Pittsburgh, Purdue Battles New York University. BUTLER IN CLASH HERE Crippled Bulldogs Tackle Powerful Franklin College Team. With Purdue and Notre Dame battling powerful eastern rivals for national glory, Butler observing homecoming, and other Hoosier collegians facing strong rivals, today's developments promised much of interest for Indiana football fans. Crippled and tape-patched, Butler’s Bulldogs were the underdogs in today's scuffle with the powerful Franklin eleven at the Fairview stadium. John (Red) Compton,triple-threat half back, Jim Stewart, quarter back, Walter Cosgrove, spectacular sophomore end, and the varsity tackles, Elser and Roebuck, all are on the sidelines with injuries. Purdue at New York Franklin's tie with Wabash which overwhelmed the local Bulldogs last week, makes the Grizzlies the choice in today’s action. Unbeaten in its last eleven starts, Purdue was expected to add another victim to the list at Yankee stadium, New York, when the Boilermakers took on New York university today. Notre Dame's high-scoring eleven, with 177 points in three games, met its strongest foe to date in Pittsburgh, but the Panthers were expected to go the way of Haskell, Drake and Carnegie Tech. I. U. Meets Mississippi Indiana U. entertained a southern foe, Mississippi A. and M„ where Bill Hayes, the present Crimson mentor, formerly served as head football coach. Both teams employ the open attack. The Hoosiers were heavy favorites. Miami U., conqueror of Ohio university, which beat the Navy and held Indiana to a one-point decision, was Wabash's homecoming foe, and the outcome was regarded a tossup. De Pauw was expected to add another victory at the expense of Earlham at Greencastle, Oakland City observed homecoming by meeting Hanover, Manchester was out to repeat last year’s win over Ball State, Valparaiso protected its unbeaten record against Defiance (O.i college, and Rose Poly met Union college of Barbouryille, Ky., in other Indiana games.

$5,000 SENT TO ‘SAVE’ WATSON i G. 0. P, Battling to Stave Off Senator’s Defeat. BY GEORGE SANFORD HOLMES Times Staff 'Vriter WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.—Within the last seven weeks the Republican senatorial campaign committee has sent $5,000 into Utah in the effort to stave off impending defeat from that veteran G. O. P. stalwart and dean of the senate, Reed Smoot. The report of the committee filed with South Trimble, clerk of the house, emphasizes anew the intensity of the struggle in Utah, where Smoot is opposed by Dr. Elbert D. Thomas, college professor. During the same period of the Democratic senatorial committee has sent $2,000 into Utah to help Thomas, its largest single contribution to any candidate except for $2,500 to Millard Tydings of Maryland. The report of the Republican senatorial committee shows a concentrated effort to save the political lives of other members of the old guard, notably James E. Watson of Indiana, Republican leader; George H. Moses of New Hampshire, president pro tern of the senate, and Wesley Jones of Washington, each of whom has received help to the tune of $5,000 since Sept. 6. Intent upon consolidating the primary gains in Wisconsin, the committee also sent $5,000 into that state to aid John Chappie. The committee assisted Hiram Bingham of Connecticut with a check for $2,500, Tasker L. Oddie of Nevada with $2,000, and Frederick Steiw'er of Oregon and John Thomas of Idaho with a like amouqt each.

INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, OCT. 29,1932

Senator Hiram Johnson

Defeat of G. 0. P. by Rank and File Demanded by Californian. By United Press SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 29.—Defeat of President Hoover at the hands of the rank and file of the Republican party was demanded here Friday night by United States Senator Hiram Johnson, progressive Republican. He bitterly attacked the administration as “inept, futile, ineffective, inefficient, disastrous and unAmerican.” “The administration that heeded nt. warnings, had not foreseen and did not understand, preaches a gospel of fear,” he said. “With cries that it might have been worse, it demands that'the pilot of a shipwreck be kept at the helm.” ’ Flays “Campaign of Fear” Johnson denounced “the callous so-called captains of commerce, who brutally browbeat and bludgeon the men at their mercy and endeavor to bully them into bartering their birthright and inalienable independence for their jobs” by urging their employes to vote for the President. This he denounced at the “Republican campaign of fear,” and accused G. O. P. leaders of misrepresentation and falsehood. The senator reviewed scathingly the administration’s reward on farm relief, unemployment and finance. Lashes Liquor Stand The Reconstruction Finance Corporation, tfohnson charged, has not accomplished its purpose. ‘ The whole theory of the administration,” he said, “has been of aiding railroads, banks and great corporations, and then that some little relief may filter through to those who sorely need it. "The filtering process, unfortunaely, is not in operation.” The President “faces both ways” on prohibition, the senator charged, adding that Franklin D. Roosevelt’s stand is “clear cut.” Johnson called eviction of the bonus army from Washington “one of the blackest pages in our history, written with fire and sword.” Assails Hoover’s Leanings The eviction, he declared, “was worse than harsh. It was cruel and cowardly. And the efforts at explanation and justification have but intensified the wrong.” Johnson leveled a withering blast at the President for his associations. “The great humanitarian,” thundered Johnson, “just as when, after cold calculation, he selected his political party because it was the domniant and stronger party, has chosen ever governmentally, when conflict arose, the richer and more powerful side. "He naturally has gravitated to the Melllons and the international bankers and the power trust. Their’s his tyranny and his life's work taught him. were the easier w T ay and th* smoother road to success.” In the Air Weather conditions at 9 a. m.: West wind, 33 miles an hour, gusty and variable; temperature, 44; barometric pressure. 29.94 at sea level; ceiling, overcast, estimated 4,000 set; few breaks in overcast; visibility, 15 miles; field, good.

Crowds Are A bout Equal at Hoover, Ritchie Rallies Biased and unbiased estimates of the crowds hearing President Herbert Hoover at Butler fieldhouse and Governor Albert C. Ritchie, Maryland, at Cadle tabernacle Friday night varied somewhat. It was announced from the Hoover's speakers’ platform a crowd of 33,000 was present inside the fieldhouse and at the doors. Police estimates and those of impartial observers placed the total inside and outside attendance at 23,000. R. Earl Peters. Democratic state chairman, and H. Nathan Swaim, county chairman, estimated the Ritchie crowd inside and outside of the tabernacle at 23.000. This figure coincided with the estimate of radio officials, police and impartial observers.

NEW ENGLAND VOTES SOUGHT BY ROOSEVELT Tour of Northeastern District Will Begin at Noon Today. VISIT IS PAID BY AL ‘Old Time’ Reunion Held at Albany Executive „ , Mansion. BY FREDERICK A. STORM United Press Staff Correspondent ALBANY. N. Y., Oct. 29.—Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt today continued his drive to win the New England states to his banner, after an “old time” reunion with Alfred E. Smith in the executive mansion Friday night. The Governor, preparing to leave for Massachusetts at noon today, received from the former Democratic presidential nominee assurances that any grievances felt by Smith supporters in that state had been “wiped out” by the harmony campaign. Roosevelt’s itinerary, as announced by his managers, was as follows: Leave Albany at noon; arrive at Massachusetts state line at 1 p. m., thereafter traveling to Groton, where his two sons are at school, by way of Williamstown, North Adams, Greenfield, Orange, Athol, Gardner, Fitchburg and Ayre, where he expects to arrive at 6:45 p. m. May Go to Portland The Governor will remain in Groton until Monday, and then visit Boston, with a possible side trip to Portland, Me., if he has time. The visit of A1 Smith at the executive mansion came at the close of tte former Governor’s vigorous campaign through Massachusetts for the present nominee. It came as the result, more than anything else of a telephoned invitation from Roosevelt, who said he w’anted to congratulate and thank Smith for his “splendid speeches.” For an hour and a half, the two men chatted in front of a fireplace in the study. At its conclusion, they received newspaper men, and emphasized their friendliness. Responding to questions as to whether this was “an old-fashioned Frank and A1 get-together,” Smith said: “Go as far as you like. If we were a couple of Freifchmen, we’d kiss each other. As it is, we have to rely on a handshake.” Sees Democrat Win “We talked about the campaign and the situation,” the Governor explained. “And you don’t see any blood on us, do you?” Smith added. “I came here on the invitation of the Governor,” Smith continued, more formally, “to report- to him on what I had found out about the situation in New England. I told him I was certain he would carry the states through which I passed— Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island —tnd that they surely were in the Democratic column.” Except on public occasions, notably when the “first reccgiciliation” took place at the Democratic state convention, Friday night was the first time the two men have mett since the Chicago controversy. PARKED AUTOS LOOTED Heavy Loss Reported Friday Night by Motorists. Nearly S6OO in loot was obtained from parked automobiles Friday night. Heaviest loser was King C. Thorn of Chicago. Clothing and jewelry valued at S4OO was stolen from his automobile parked on Senate avenue between Washington and Market streets.

Auto of Carl Schultz. 715 East Morris street, yielded $75 worth of clothing, while parked in front of his home. TWO~COTTAGES~ BURNED SI,OOO Loss Is Estimated in Blazes at Ravenswood. Fire of undetermined origin Friday night destroyed two summer cottages at Ravenswood. with damages estimated at SI,OOO, according to firemen. The frame structures, unoccupied for several weeks, were property of Robert Stamm and Chester Frybarger.

Contrast Hoover, Ritchie Parades as Different as 'Night and Day.’

BY ARCH STEINEL HOOSIERDOM showed its face and held out its hand in two parades Friday that were as different as the proverbial “day is j night.” and in keeping with the | respective hours the parades were! held. One hundred thousand persons participated in the welcomings to the man who is President—Herbert Hoover—and the man who might have been a nominee, Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland. The parade for President Hoover presented a crowd of respectful observers. The torchlight procession at night that greeted Governor Ritchie was a mass of colored lights, a blare of spontaneous enthusiasm, . a personal triumph of those called “forgotten men.” The man without an overcoat carried red torches in the Ritchie rally with its multiplicity of political wisecracking banners, or stood on the curbs and waved white sticks from which shafts of white light streamed. Cheers were plentiful for banners declaring for “beer,” decrying the j ‘'chickenless pots” and earless ga- : rages, an other partisan emblems. u tt BUT when the President rode north on Meridian street, three hours earlier, it was a sombre crowd that gave more applause to the Black Horse troop from Culver than to the chief executive. Hand-clappings, whistles and shouts for the Republican candidate were as spotted in the humanity masseed on Meridian and around the segments of the Circle as the black isles on a zebra’s back. President Hoover bowed and waved his hands, to each burst of applause. He alternately put his hat on his head or took it off as small demonstration clots gave vent to their partisanship. The few boos were negligible. They came from high office buildings, and frequently were halted by some employer hauling the Democratic partisan from the window. Adding machine tape from investment and life insurance companies in downtown buildings, streamed j out on the chill wind and waved to the echoes of cheers from the employes who held the tape in their hands. G. O. P. organization employes rode in a truck blocks ahead of the Hoover reception giving away flags and blue elephants mounted on sticks. The flags were at premium. Small boys stampeded the truck to obtain one of the banners. it t u THE President rode in a touring car. He was flanked by secret service men and city detectives, who either rode or walked at the car’s side. Mrs. Hoover, vivacious, waved to the crowds that lined the curbs. Senator James E. Watson, who occupied the President’s car, looked to the left and right at each fresh outburst of cheers. The nocturnal parade, for the most part, was as well organized as a political machine functioning on election day. Reviewing the torch bearers from an auto on the Circle, Governor Ritchie frequently smiled at sallies against Republican policies or waved his hand to Democratic beauties on trucks. Twenty thousand persons participated in the parade. Forty thousand lined the sidewalks. Throughout the review at the Circle an airplane with two parallel streams of white rocket lights zoomed, dipped and circled overhead. “It's the greatest thing I’ve ever seen, ’ declared the Maryland Governor. Attaches accompanying him in the reviewing car pointed out a delegation carrying the banner, “Hooverville and Curtisville.” n tt /“\NE marcher with three beer bottles dangling from a stick, drew a smile from the Governor. Four women riding on horseback wer# Ikbeled the “Four Horsemen of Republicanism—Deceit, Despair, Delay, Destruction.” Another banner compared the prices of grain in 1928 with 1932. Negroes danced the jig. The "Sidewalks of New York,” and “Happy Days Are Here Again,” were the popular tunes of eight bands that dotted the parade. Rockets and bombs boomed throughout to the accompaniment of the shouts of the red-torch carriers. It took one hour for the Ritchie marchers to pass the reviewing stand and from the first walkers behind the Indianapolis Bugle and Drum corps to the last contingent there was no let-up in the shouts from the curbs or paraders. PICKPOCKETS’ HARVEST Crops of $77 Reaped From Political Rally Crowds. Crowds gathered in .the city Friday night for political rallies offered a field in which pickpockets gathered a crop of $77. Robert McDonald, R. R 1, London, Ind., told police that while he was in a group boarding a car at Meridian and Washington streets, he was robbed of a billfold containing $lO. He was jostled by three young men, one of whom drged, “Load ’em up. Hurry!” Two men were robbed at Cadle tabernacle. Ben Hartman, 67, of 3113 Central avenue lost S3O, and John F. Hyland, 723 North East street, lost $lO. Herbert R. Zent, Huntington, Ind., was robbed of *27, including a $lO gold piece, while boarding a street car at Meridian and Washington streets.

HOOVER HITS HIS CAMPAIGN ‘HIGH’ IN ATTACK ON RIVAL; THOUSANDS HEAR RITCHIE

President Turns Heavy Guns on Roosevelt, Assailing Economic Stand. EVASIONS ARE TARGET Startling Shift on Tariff Charged by President to Opponent. Lashing vigorously at Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt's stand on the tariff, power regulation, foreign debts and relief, but studiously ignoring prohibition, President Herbert Hoover spoke Friday night at Butler field house before a crowd of 23,000. The enthusiastic response offered a sharp contrast to the comparative indifference with which the President was received on his arrival in Indianapolis. The President, in completing his speech, assailed Roosevelt's Baltimore statement on supreme court domination by the Republican party but made no mention of his attempt to place Judge John J. Parker on the supreme court bench. Nomination of Judge Parker, of “yellow dog” contract notoriety, was beaten after a bitter fight by labor and Negro leaders, aided by progressive senators. A few minutes late for start of his speech, President Hoover’s appearance on the speaking platform was halted by a seven-miflute demonstration, which newspaper correspondents termed the most enthusiastic reception he yet has received. Smiles for Crowd The forbidding Presidential frown was erased and the Presidential face creased by smiles as the demonstration increased in volume and repeatedly interrupted the chief executive’s efforts to sit down and get the introductions out of the way. He appeared a trifle nervous as he started his address, but his confidence increased as he became convinced that his audience was wholly sympathetic. There were repeated cries of “Go to it, Herb,” and, “Give it to ’em, Herb,” as the President warmed to his attack on Governor Roosevelt and accused the Democratic nominee of making “atrocious charges,” of “evasions” and of a “shuffle on the tariff question instead of the promised new deal.” One overenthusiastic listener even shouted, “Give him hell, Herbie,” but the President gave no smile of recognition to this and those near by frowned him down. Tariff Idea Chief Target Governor Roosevelt’s tariff thecupies formed the chief target of the President’s attack. “After a constant opposition to what he calls the injustice of the Smoot-Hawley tariff,” the President! said,“ he now announces, within two weeks of election, that he does not intend to reduce tariffs on farm products. This is the most startlingshift in position by a presidential candidate in the midst of a campaign, in all recent political history. “Does the Governor realize that overnight he has thrown overboard the historical position of the party? That he has rewritten the Democratic platform?” “Do you intend to trust your destinies to one whose fixity of purpose can be driven out of him in three weeks? If we had more time, I believe we could drive him from every position he has taken in the campaign.” the President shouted, to an interruption of prolonged cheering. Hits Power Stand “I am opposed and will continue to oppose,” the President said, “the federal government going into the power business. The Democratic candidate says he will preserve the great water powers for the people. That already is provided for by law since 1920 and it therefore presents no difficulty to vigorous campaign promises.” President Hoover challenged Roosevelt to “disavow the bill passed by the Democratic house of representatives under the leadership of the Democratic candidate for VicePresident” to issue $2,300,000,000 in greenback currency. “I have stated,” he declared, “that I do not favor the prepayment of the soldier bonus of $2,300,000.000. One thing I will assure the veterans and that is, when they are paid, it will be in real money ” Defends Fourteen Points Fourteen points on which, he said, his administration has offered remedies for the depression, were defended by the President. These included his attempts to persuade employers to maintain wage scales; his plan for the division of work; his requests to state, county and municipal government to co-operate with the federal government in creating employment on public construction projects; mobilization for charity drives and direct aid to the needy; increase in public works; appropriations for relief of farmers in drought-striken areas; the war debts moratorium; organization of the national credit corporation; creation of the home loan bank system; prevention of mortgage foreclosures, and sustention of the federal government credit.

Maryland Governor Spurs Hopes of His Party by Vigorous Speech. FLAYS FEAR CAMPAIGN Torchlight Parade Is One of Greatest Spectacles in Years. Enthused by the greatest torchlight parade in scores of years, and aroused by the slashing attack of Governor Albert C. Ritchie at the Republican “campaign of fear,” thousands of Indiana Democrats today are confident of victory Nov. 8. The colorful review of 30,000 Democrats provided a fitting prelude for the Ritchie speech, delivered in Cadle tabernacle to 15,000, while 3,000 thronged outside the building. For four minutes the thousands stood and cheered the Maryland Governor, who was introduced by Otto P. Deluse, prominent Indianapolis business man and former national president of the Eagles. Turns Guns on Hoover With hand uplifted to still the tumult, Ritchie launched an attack on President Hoover’s vitriolic criticism of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt made earlier Friday night. The President had called his opponent “evasive, untruthful and dedeceitful.” “I resent such statement’s about my party’s candidate for President,” shouted Ritchie and the crowd again rose and cheered after booing Hoover's name. The crowd also booed the mention of Henry Ford, who, Ritchie charged, established plants, built with American capital, on foreign soil to evade the tariff, throwing thousands of Americans out of work in this country. Ritchie declared Ford then “tells those American workers whom he does employ that they must vote for Herbert Hoover. Called Un-American “This plan of a repudiated capitalist to intimidate the votes of his employes is un-American, and, thank God, un-Democratic.” Hitting at the Republican campaign tactics of spreading fear and alarm among the viters, Ritchie said: “I pronounce the effort an unworthy one and I want to ask what the American people have to be afraid of in getting rid of a national administration whose unsound political policies have steered the country into the valley of depression and despair.” Reviewing the background of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his training for the Presidency, Ritchie then launched into a discussion of the President’s Cleveland speech, in which Hoover “endeavored to arouse the fears of the voters by Claiming that the election of a Democrat would endanger the country. Cites Gold Standard Claim “Perhaps the most flagrant instance of this campaign strategy was when the President made his now discredited statement that the nation was within two weeks of being forced off the gold standard and that he had fought the battle for suond money and had won,” Ritchie said. “Nobody seemed to know anything about this preil or the battle whic haverted it, and Senator Carter Glass of Virginia and other competent authorities quickly showed that nothing of the kind had occurred.” Declaring the American people refuse to be frigtened, the Maryland Governor said that such charges “come with particularly poor grarce from President Hoover." “He became food dictator during the war by appointment of a Democratic President, Woodrow Wilson. He joined President Wilson in asking the country to elect a Democratic congress in 1918, and he allowed his name to be entered In a Democratic presidential primary in 1920. He carried Michigan that year as a Democrat—well, he’s a Republican now. “President Hoover's devotion to the Republican party is thus little more than ten years old and his fear of the Democratic party certainly is no older.” Ritchie said as the crowd laughed and cheered. Scoffs at ‘Farm Relief’ Asserting that there are millions of Republicans who agreed that the hope of America lies in putting a Democratic administration which can succeed in the place of a Republican administration which has demonstrated that it can not, Ritchie asked: “Since when has ft been dangerous to change public officials who do not fulfill their promises and who avoid and then fail when new promises arise? The danger lies irt continuing such officials, not changing them.” Reviewing the Hoover 1928 promises for farm and agricultural relief, Ritchie said: “The farmer is more in need of relief today than he was when Hoover started to relieve him. “The man who tramps the street looking for work will not put up with the Republican administration any longer; the farmer who has no market for his crops will not; the merchant who finds himself without customers will not, and the factory owner whose furnace fires are banked, will not.” Ritchie then compared the pro(Turn to Page Two)
