LEGION VOTE TO f BE SPLIT WIDE OPEN, IS CLAIM Sheriff Candidates Will Break Up Factions, Observers Say. BY DICK MILLER Time, Staff Writer ''Back room politics,'’ it would ap-jfc-Er from examination of the field UD the Democratic race for sheriff, have played more of a part than i|sual in attempting to split vote 4ipport that each candidate ordinarily might expect. .There has been a great deal said 1* Democratic city and county leaders about not having slates for the jirimary May 8. H. Nathan Swaim, county chairman, and other leaders l*n-e indicated they will maintain as ‘.hands off’ policy. In some races, ifccumbents are unopposed. ’ “Back room" opposition to this hands off policy is evidenced most clearly, observers say, in the sheriff race where seven candidates seek the nomination. Two strongest candidates in a race where the vote will be swayed by such factors as religion, the legion vote and the labor vote, appear to be Otto Ray, city license inspector, and Bill Brown, state excise department inspector. Resigns Police Captaincy Ray, sheriff nominee in 1924, resigned his police captaincy last Saturday to enter the race. He has a strong personal following and affiliations that might be counted on to do him a lot of good at the polls. He once was president of the Central Labor Union, was honored by the American Red Cross for local relief work and is expected to receive strong Catholic and legion support. He recently resigned as commander of the Twelfth district legion and is a former commander of Indianapolis police past. An installment payment plan to enable peddlers and other city license users to obtain their tags without hardship, is another accomplishment boasted by the Ray supporters. "Back room" politics has forced strong opposition to Ray into the field, his workers claim. They charge that several additional candidates were persuaded that they might receive organization support, or were interested mainly in defeating Ray. Legion Vote to Be Split They point out that James Delaney and Claude E. Shover, a railroad yardmaster, may be expected to cut into Ray’s Catholic and labor votes. Gar Davis, an inspector in the city building department, should be instrumental in splitting up the legion vote for sheriff, they say. Two other candidates, Patrick McCleary and John W. Taggart, although they are not well known, are to control some votes that otherwise would be polled for Ray. Mr. Brown, however, has almost no interference with his votes. A ward chairman, he is supposed to have the whispered support of the party organization. Brown is a close friend of William E. Clauer. city chairman, and is in a position to make important contacts while executing his duties of beer license inspector. As an employe of the state excise department, he may receive statehouse backing. The Center township assessor race will be marked with bitter struggle between two Democratic candidates, James F. Cunningham, city park board investigator, and John C. McCloskey, incumbent. McCloskcy in Disfavor McCloskey has received the stamp of party disapproval by ignoring the organization in the awarding of several hundred deputy assessor appointments. He further incurred the disfavor of the party by maintaining a close friendship with Sheriff Charles (Buck) Sumner, himself a notorious insurgent. Sumner may stump for McCloskey and cinch votes in strong Sumner districts. Ernest Marker and John Mann, county commissioners, have lost favor with the party by unfavorable publicity in their attempt to award an election supply contract to a high bidder. Mann was appointed to fill the vac any caused bv the death of Thomas Ellis. The deciding votes were cast by Marker and Charles Grossart. county auditor, while the organization and Commissioner Dow Vorhies favored the widow, Mrs. Thomas Ellis. The Republican party, although crushingly defeated in the last elections, is expected to have a strong, undivided slate prepared by George V. (Cap.) CofTm and supported by ward and precinct leaders. Candidates marked by Coffin will have the inside track as has been the case for the last several years of his control.

THERE is going to be a movie dropped on our doorsteps tomorrow which is going to make many people laugh, chill and yell. The movie is “Looking for Trouble.” with Spencer Tracy and Jack Oakie as two trouble-shooters for a telephone company in a large city. After seeing it at a preview. I. for one, am still laughing.

and I’m sure that some of the thrill scenes has pushed my blood pressure way up. “Looking for Trouble’ is effective melodrama. With Jack Oakie in the cast, the story has the right comedy background. For once Oakie didn’t get on my nerves, but handed me one

of gold and turns out to be a hero along with Tracy before the story ends. Oakie stages many funny love scenes with Arline Judge, and his “Dallas” brand of kisses is so successful that he leads Arline to the altar before the final fadeout. Tracy gives a striking masculine performance of a man who loves to have adventure and lot of thrills. His work as a trouble shooter takes him into a den of wire-tappers and bank bandits. He even stumbles upon a dead man in a house while seeking wire trouble. During all of this excitement his own girl, played by Constance Cummings, gets mixed up with the wire-tappers and the bank robbers. While trying to get evidence to clear her on a charge of murder, Tracy and Oakie experience an earthquake. Just how the camera caught this scene is beyond my comprehension, but it is a grand piece of camera work. That was the scene that jolted my blood pressure. Although many of the situations are far-fetched and impossible,
