HEAVY MAJORITY NEEDED IN VIGO COUNTY IF WOMAN IS TO IN CONGRESS SEAT

Expected to Come Into Terre Haute With Large Lead From Agricultural Districts. * MRS. JENCKES GETS AID OF WETS Depression Also Works in Her Favor, as Does Strength of Roosevelt, Van Nuys and McNutt. BY BEN STERN TERRE HAUTE, lnd., Nov. I.—lndiana will have its first congress woman if—and only in that ev^ent —Vigo count ty turns in a sufficiently large Democratic majority to offset the Republican lead rolled up in the other counties of the Sixth district. Os course, if there is a nation and state-wide Democratic landslide then the election of Mrs. Virginia Jenckes is a certainty. Otherwise, she must depend on Vigo county to turn the tide. Conservative estimates reveal that Mrs. Jenckes will be trailing Congressman Fred Purnell, Republican incumbent, by between 2,500 to 3,000 votes when she reaches this county.

A 5,000 Democratic majority in Vigo would elect her t.o congress as Indiana's first national representative, and a wet, at that. The very fact that Mrs. Jenckes campaigned in the primary as a dripping wet and so defeated the incumbent Democrat, Courtland Gillen, who had voted dry on the question of a prohibition referendum, is being used actively against her. Purnell Is Shifty Her opponent, Purnell, has been slated by the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, and he uses this in the dry counties of the district, while in Vigo Purnell avers that he will vote ,* for a referendum, and, in some instances, when necessary, comes out as an outright repealist. In addition, Mrs. Jenckes has the additional handicap of her sex. In the dry, conservative agricultural counties, the idea of a feminine representative in the national house of representatives is not so well received. But she is a farmer herself—“a

successful one”—and has made excellent headway among women of the district. Vigo county saved Mrs. Jenckes in the primary and it must come to her rescue Nov. 8 if all present indications are to be trusted.

Watson Is Unpopular Both Paul V. McNutt, the Democratic Governor nominee, and Fred Van Nuys, the senator nominee, have had large and enthusiastic audiences at their meetings. The anonymity of Raymond Springer, the Republican Governor nominee, and the factionalism engendered by the strange political tactics of Senator James E. Watson make for the popularity of McNutt and Van Nuys. * Because this district is in the main composed of rural counties, where the price of grain is the touchstone by which administration success is measured, there is a wide--spread resentment against the Republican party and President Herbert Hoover. In the two industrial counties, Vermilion and Vigo, the situation is the same, but even more intensified. Vermilion has large coal fields which, because of the depression and labor troubles, have not been operated for iong periods. Wet sentiment also is rampant. Burden on Purnell Purnell has an added burden and that is that for years he has posed as the "farmer's friend." which has earned him the nickname of "Farmer's Friend Fred.” He has been ranking member of the congressional committee on agriculture and worked this to the bone in the many campaigns he has waged. But it kicked back in 1930, when Purnell was re-elected from the old Ninth district by a majority of only 335. Another load which the Republicans -must carry is John Owen. This henchman of Senator Watson in all manner of political endeavors, who engineered the double-cross of M. Bert Thurman in the Governor nomination fracas this year and managed the campaign of Springer, makes his home in Noblesville. All these factors will make for a large majority for the state and national tickets. In the counties of this district, with the exception of Vigo, paper ballots are used. This means a division of the ticket, with state and national candidates listed on one ballot and candidates for congress heading the county tickets. This makes for easy scratching.

Democrats Lead in Boone Outlook in the counties at present has been found to be as follows: Bcone —Almost always Democratic by from 300 to 750 votes is expected to give the state and national tickets a majority of 1,500 and Mrs. Jenckes a lead of 1.000. Both organizations are hard working, but the Democrats have enthusiasm. Fountain—This is Purnell's home county. In 1930 he carried the county by only 87 votes. This year he has as his manager J. Frank McDermond, well-liked Republican editor, who also is postmaster of Attica and who apparently is directing the campaign. Republicans claim the county by 500. In view of the small 1930 vote accorded the native son that would be an extremely wide margin of victory. But it is a dry county and this may aid Purnell. Hamilton—Always Republican. The smallest G. O. P. majority was in 1930, when it was 1.288 votes. /The usual lead is more than 20.000. The small communities of Arcadia and Cicero have evidenced a wet sentiment and this is expected to aid Mrs. Jenckes. The Republican majority this year should not exceed 1,000. Springer did not click here and Watson is disliked because of the activities of Owen. Hendrick*—Republican by a ma-1

jority of 1.500 or more, but the lead was slashed to 311 in 1930. It is probable that it will not exceed 400 this year. In this, as in other agricultural counties, the Republican managers are counting heavily upon a trend to Hoover because of his recent addresses, and especially his Indiana appearance. Wabash Helps Woman Montgomery—This is another battleground whiefi has never strayed from the Republican columns. The margins of G. O. P. victory have ranged from 1,200 upward, but in the off year elections this majority has dropped as low as 559 in 1930. Here it is heard that Purnell has promised too much in the past and resentment is high. The city of Crawfordsville and Wabash college are rated as liberal, and this will help the Democratic ticket, including Mrs. Jenckes. The Democrats would consider themselves fortunate if they lost it by only 500 votes. Parke—Another agricultural county where the farmers have been Republican, making for G. O. P. majorities of 1,200 on up. In 1930 the majority was only 667, and now there are approximately 750 unemployed in the county who formerly worked in the small coal mines.

Putnam Is Democratic Hope Putnam —Veers between the Republicans and the Democrats in the congressional elections, but this year is a cinch to give a Democratic majority of 1,000. Mrs. Jenckes may lag here because her wet stand has antagonized the drys of De Pauw university. Vermillion—Coal mining and agriculture. went Democratic by 230 in 1930. Clinton township casts half the vote and it is as wet as Terre Haute. Even the Republicans estimate that Mrs. Jenckes should pile up a lead of 1,000 votes here, while Roosevelt, McNutt and Van Nuys should be even stronger. Vigo—Almost the wettest county in the state. Went Democratic by 1,100 in 1930. The city and county administrations are of that party. Some criticism is heard of them, but the widespread unemployment has made for bitter feeling against the administration. This is Mrs. Jenckes’ home county and it is believed that the Democratic majority will range from 5,000 upward, which would insure her election.

Feeling Against Watson Because Hugh Cuthbertson, Republican county chairman, feels that Watson “doubled" him out of the postmastership after he was in* dorsed by party workers, and appointed Jack Wood, it is more than faintly possible that the senior senator will trail the state and national tickets. • Terre Haute industrialists have been putting the pressure on employes to vote for Hoover, but it isn’t having much effect, because there is not a sufficient number employed. Warren—This county has been Purnell's stronghold. Adjacent to his home, it gave him a majority of 1,040 in 1930. Mrs. Jenckes has made an excellent appeal to the women here, and a strong women's organization is active in her behalf. In gauging the separate counties of the district, it is easy to see why it is absolutely necessary for the Democrats to carry Vigo by a majority of 5.000 to elect Mrs. Jenckes.

Blood Pressure | Is Now Normal ‘Never Felt Better in My Life’ Kansas Woman Asserts. If you are fat and have high blood pressure read this letter from Mrs. E. S. B. of Dodge City. Kansas—then use your own judgment—it was written January 1, 1932. “The reason I am taking Kruschen Salts is: I was overweight, I naturally was sluggish in every way. I had high blood pressure and was <SO nervous I did not enjoy myself. I could not sleep and day after day I spent in bed with headaches. I had tried everything I ever heard of to remove fat from my body and nothing did me any good. “I read so much in the papers about Kruschen Salts but to myself it was like all the rest, but I finally decided to try it. And Sept. 20. 1931, I I started taking Kruschen and dieting as you suggested. “I have lost 39 lbs. and I can honestly say I never felt better in all mv life. I sleep fine and my blood pressure is normal. My nerves are also better. I have recommended Kruschen Salts to lots of people and I know several are taking them with good results.’* A jar of Kruschen Salts that costs but a tiifle lasts 4 weeks and can be obtained at any drug store in the f world.—Advertisement.
