PETERS’ PRAISE MANUFACTURED, SAYS GREENLEE Claques Pack Rallies and Lead Cheering, Asserts McNutt Aid. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer Latest worry of the McNutt clan is caused by the fact that at the numerous Democratic meetings throughout the state their political foe, R. Earl Peters, is getting the most applause. They charge that the Peters supporters have organized claques and that employes in the office of Floyd Williamson, state auditor, are “working in shifts” at this business. A simple technique is followed by the Peters' ]>ep men. When Governor Paul V. McNutt or his patronage secretary, Pleas Greenlee, makes a speech they sit on their hands. Then when Mr. Peters appears they applaud and applaud and applaud. They also cheer. Peters “Steals the Show” Thus they are reported to have “stolen the show” at the Laporte meeting Thursday night. Then there was the Terre Haute event where Richard Werneke presented Mr. Greenlee with a loving cup. It seems that Pleas got the cup, but A1 Feeney, state safety director and Mr Greenlee’s chief protagonist, got the applause. Credit for this, or debit, depending upon which side you view it from, was given the Peters’ crowd, augmented by the Lee Bays forces from Sullivan county. Feeney Gets Big Hand Mr. Feeney was cheered for five minutes or more and Mrs. Peters also was given a “great big hand.” That this represents the popular sentiment of the rank and file of the party, McNutt leaders refuse to believe. But it has them worried. They are sending out distress signals. This was definitely demonstrated recently when Mr. Greenlee spent his entire time “talking turkey” to various county chairmen who had been summoned to the Governor’s office for interviews. The genial McNutt machinist, Mr. Greenlee, remains confident through it all. When questioned regarding the Peters’ plan of bringing your own applause, he commented : Pleas Wants Delegates “Peters can have the applause, but we are going to get the convention delegates. That is what really counts.” In nonpolitical language, this means that Mr. Greenlee is working for McNutt control of the state convention where Mr. Peters, former Democratic state chairman, who was ousted by Governor McNutt, is seeking the nomination for United States senator. Mr. Greenlee long has been backing Sherman Minton, public counselor, for the senate race. Nobody seems to know who the Governor is backing and it has been questioned whether he knows himself.
