PLATFORM ELOQUENCE OF MINISTER MAIN HOPE OF G. O.P. IN FIFTH DISTRICT J. Raymond Schutz, North Manchester Pastor, Worries Democrats With His ‘Silver-Tongued’ Campaign. % GRISWOLD MARGIN IS CUT DEEPLY Industrial Leaders Make Headway in Effort to Swing Employes’ Sentiment Toward Hoover. BY BEN STERN MARION, Ind., Oct. 29.—“ Liberalism” is the reaLand underlying issue in the Fifth district congressional campaign. ' It has been made so by J. Raymond Schutz, North Manchester college professor and minister, who is the Republican congressional nominee against Glenn Griswold of Peru, incumbent Democrat. And the farmers of the Fifth, although they are “agin” the administration, are befuddled by Schutz’ verbal fireworks and are sitting by and wondering what it is all about. Where Griswold is almost inarticulate on the stump, his opponent, by virtue of his pulpit and lecture room training, is possessed of a glibness that is causing the Democratic district managers much worry.

Although estimates and analyses of the nine counties indicate that the Democratic state and national candidates will carry the district by 5,000 or more votes, the barrage of oratory may reduce Griswold’s margin of victory to 1,000. That is. unless there is an upswelling of liberal sentiment which will turn out Nov. 8 to register its approval of Griswold’s vote for a prohibition referendum, his stand for the Norris anti-injunction and anti-yellow dog contract bills, and his fight for immediate payment of the soldiers’ bonus. Mostly Dry Farmers Except for the counties of Grant, Howard, Clinton and Huntington, where are located respectively the cities of Marion, Kokomo, Frankfort and Huntington, the district is composed in the main of dry, conservative farmers. The opportunity to scratch the congressional candidate is easy in this district because the system of two Australian ballots is used. Upon one is the national-state ticket and upon the other ballot county and congressional aspirants. Such division of the ticket makes it easy for a voter to go one way on the national and state condidates and another on the congressional and county choices. Schutz has been hurling a verbal barrage of criticism at Griswold, especially for his vote for immediate payment of the soldiers’ bonus. But it is noticeable that he refrains from mentioning the names of either Senator James E. Watson or Raymond S. Springer, G. O. P. Governor nominee. The former is universally hated in this district and the latter is not known, even by many of the party workers. Schutz Is Good Speaker Schutz has the asset of being a facile and practiced speaker and boasts a wide acquaintance from years of speaking in almost every schoolhouse and church in the district. 9 Griswold, on the contrary, is inarticulate to the extreme. He is at his best when explaining his views to a crowd of laborers or dirt farmers, but doesn’t seem able to click where oratorical ability is required. This and his pronounced wet stand are his principal handicaps. To offset this, he is extremely popular among those with whom his contact has been close. The incumbent is indorsed by the American Federation of Labor, the Association Against the eighteenth amendment, and the ex-service-men’s organizations. - Farmers and workers are not taking kindly to the idea of a minister as a candidate for, congress and two members of Schutz’ church openly declared that “a minister has no business in poltics.” Reports are that his congregation is divided because of his candidacy and in Wabash county, where he resides, several are openly working against him. Picture Is Confusing It’s a confusing picture here because the district as now composed has gone Democratic but twice in recent years. In 1922 it went that wa way by 1.913 votes, only two years after it gave the G. O. P. a majority of 16,510. and in 1930 the Democratic majority was 3.043, after going Republican by 12,480 votes in 1928. Besides Kokomo and Marion, the industrial centers of Frankfort and Huntington are contained within its confines and the the dissatisfied there are expected to aid Griswold’s campaign. But the voters in these cities are being subjected to great pressure by the employers. Last week fifteen of the principal industrialists met in Marion and discussed ways and means of carrying the district for Hoover and the Republican ticket. A similar meeting was held in Kokomo. Principal arguments used in the whispering campaign sponsored by these groups is that re-election of Hoover means a continued high tariff, while that of Roosevelt

means low tariff and continued hard times. Has Strong Effect There can be no denial but that this is having a potent effect in the industrial centers. The farmers, however, are adamant in their resentment. If verbal fireworks are desired, just tune in on some farmer broadcasting in front of the small town bank just what he thinks about the administration. They, rural polls reveal, have not been swayed by the Des Moines speech. , Another factor hurting G. O. P. chances is the extreme unpopularity of Watson in several counties of the district. Railroad employes and printing craftsmen of Huntington are fighting the re-election of Watson tooth and nail. To them he is the incarnation of American reactiontary conservatism. In Wabash the senior senator is anathematized because of Republican factional troubles. There, despite a petition of 2,500 voters to the contrary, he appointed Arthur Thompson as postmaster. Thompson is an ally of James Showalter, member of the state tax board, who has been the Watson representative in the county, and both are thoroughly disliked. Boss Is Peeved Here in Marion, “Tieless” Johnny Jones, Republican boss and postmaster, is angry at Jim because he didn’t come through with a recommendation for his reappointment. At Kokomo, where 1,600 families are living off the public funds, and because of unemployment are bitter against the administration, and especially Watson, there is little disposition on the part of the county Republican organization to come to his aid. The sore spot there is the fact that the senator never consults Dewey Thatcher, county chairman, or other recognized leaders, but listens to Walter Dickson, a contractor. And so on regarding Republican factional differences, all of which kick back directly at Whtson. Don’t be surprised if Bert Morgan, Republican candidate for secretary of state, trails his state ticket in Grant county. Because of his friendship with Alfred Hogston, state fire marshal, there is general animus toward Morgan and so revenge will be taken on the marshal through the unlucky candidate. This same community is the headquarters of the glass industry of this section of the state and that makes for a peculiar situation. Repeal of prohibition is expected to mean a large glass bottle market. Therefore, the employes of the twelve factories in this vicinity ordinarily would vote for the Democratic state and national tickets and Griswold. But because the operators of the factories demand a high protective tariff, the pressure is being put on the employes to vote for Hoover, Watson and Schutz. Bad for Worker Thus the worker is in a tough spot. Now for a look at the individual counties in the district. Blackford—ln the last ten years it has varied politically by majorities of less than 100 for either party. Both parties are fighting with good organizations, but it is expected to give the Democratic national-state tickets a majority of 500, and Griswold at least 200. Clinton—Half and half in the last decade. Frankfort, the county seat, is an industrial center and wet. It is expected to swing the county back of Roosevelt-McNutt-Van Nuys ticket by a lead of 1.000 and give Griswold at least half that figure. Howard—ln 1928, 19,000 votes were cast in this county and the Repub-

President Hoover Comes to Town

- JH ... .v. , ....

Upper—This caravan of autos, with President Hoover's leading, composed the presidential parade from the Union station to Sixteenth and Meridian streets, from where Mr. Hoover and his party were rushed to Governor Leslie’s mansion. Center—Cheers of the crowd, which saw President Hoover when he arrived Friday afternoon, were concentrated on the famous Black Horse troop of Culver Military Academy. The troop, that has led parades for the world’s greatest, is shown leading the Hoover march. Lower—President Hoover raised his hand in greeting to a mild response from the crowds. In front of Mr. Hoover is Senator James E. Watson. At Mr. Hoover’s left is his wife, while in front of Mrs. Hoover sits Raymond Springer, Republican candidate for Governor.

lican majority was 5,538. In 1930, 14,000 votes were cast and the Democratic majority for the state ticket was approximately 1,000 votes. The victory came because 5,000 Republicans didn’t go to the polls. Many Votes Doubtful This year they are listed as eithei doubtful or Democratic. The Socialists are expected to poll about 300 votes. The Republicans, it is estimated, will lose the county for the national and state tickets by 1,500 or more votes, and 1,000 for congress. Watson was defeated by 100 votes in the county in the presidential preferential primary of 1926, and factional difficulties set out above may cause him to trail the G. O. P. state ticket in Kokomo. He also lost to Harry New' in the 1920—and to Claris Adams in the 1926 senatorial primaries. Grant—Hoover is showing a slight gain in Marion over previous reports, because of the pressure exerted by employers. Five- thousand are polled as doubtful in this county, but because of the tariff stand of the factories this county is exceedingly doubtful. Conservative estimates give it to the Democratic state and national tickets by 500 votes and to Schutz, the Republican congressional candidate, by 1,000 votes. This may be offset, however, if Griswold can make a vivid appeal to the laborers and liberals of the community in the next few days. His organization here, as in other counties, is exceedingly poor. Van Nuys is very popular as is McNutt, and both are expected to run ahead of Roosevelt in Marion. Labor Fights Watson Huntington—Labor is sfcrqpg in its Watson opposition in this uncertain county and the rural sections are bitter in their protest of the Hoover administration. Schutz has been making a strong campaign here, but because of the animus against the rest of the Republican ticket is not expected to be able to carry it. Democratic national and state majority is estimated at 1,000 and Griswold's at 200 or more. Jay Usually Democratic, although not heavily.' McNutt, Van Nuys and national candidates should carry this county by 300 because of organization activity and Griswold by 150. Miami—Griswold's home county.

Tipton Is Democratic Tipton—A hard-working Democratic organization in this county is expected to double the 75 majority of 1930 for Griswold and give Roosevelt, McNutt and Van Nuys a lead of 300 here. Wabash—Here Schutz is at home and retaliates by piling up a lead of at least 2,000, which is expected to put him at least 2.500 vptes ahead of Hoover and Watson in this strong Republican county. Watson is very unpopular here because he overrode the petition of 2,500 voters protesting against the appointment of the postmaster. Although G. O.

WAR IS GREAT INSTRUCTOR TO WORLD MEDICS Many Lessons Are Learned From Conflict, Conclave Speaker Asserts. The World war and its aftereffects. with the job of healing the battle-maimed, cast a shadow Friday at the meeting of the Interstate Post-Graduate Medical Association of North America, as Sir William I. DeCourcy Wheeler of Dublin, Ireland, addressed the doctors and surgeons. He forecast that the next war would find surgery playing a more important part than heretofore. “We learned much from the late war. Ih fact, eight to nine years after it we still were grafting bones oh shrapnel-wounded shoulders and limbs,” he said. He told how it was necessary to await healing of wounds before bone-grafting could be accomplished successfully. Shin Bones Used The shin bones of wounded soldiers are used in grafting operations. Sir Wheeler was in charge of a base hospital under the banner of the Royal army medical corps of Great Britain at Ypres. It was near here that some of the severest offensives of the war took place. The purple foxglove that grows innocently in gardens was held up as one of the best drug foods for heart weakness, in another paper, read by Dr. Henry A. Christian, professor of the Harvard medical school. The foxglove is known by pharmacists as •"digitalis.” Warning for Layman Dr. Christian described the effect of the drug on the heart and told how the newest method of administering it was merely by making the dried leaves of the plant into a pill. “But home-owners having digitalis, in the guise of foxglove, in their gardens would better not attempt taking it for heart trbuble, for they might get too much,” he warned. Persons with high blood pressure were urged not to take their disease too seriously by Dr. Harlow Brooks, professor emeritus of New York university and Bellevue hospital, in another clinical talk. Just Don’t Fret “They can live to ripe old age if they’ve nothing else seriously wrong with them. Live the right life and try not to get overexcited,” he warned. The convention of prominent surgeons ended Friday night at the Claypool with the annual banquet. St. Louis has been named the 1933 convention city. LAMP IS RARE FIND Gem of Prehistoric Eskimo Art Discovered in Alaska. B,y Science Service PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 29. A stone lamp, witn a human figure in an attitude of prayer, carved in full relief in the bowl, is the prize i of prehistoric Eskimo art brought back from Alaska by a woman archeologist. The archeologist, Miss Frederica de Laguna, just has returned from an Alaskan expedition to Kachemak bay, Cook inlet, where she excavated a prehistoric village site for the University of Pennsylvania museum. The stone lamp is the outstanding find of the summer's digging, in Miss de Laguna’s estimation. Five other lamps with carved human figures inside them have been found in Alaska. This is the first to be unearthed from its old resting place by a scientific expedition. Origin of these lamps has been a matter of mystery, for stone carving is not an Eskimo technique.
