G. 0. P. HOUSE NOMINEE BACKS MERIT SYSTEM Laurens Henderson Pledges Support to Proposal of The Times. Pledging his support to adoption of a merit system in the selection of all state appointive employes, and denouncing the present liquor con- ' trol law as iniquitous, Laurens j Henderson, young attorney and Republican candidate for the state legislature, last night spoke at 28G0 Brookside avenue and at the McKinley Republican Club. East Michigan street. Mr. Henderson promised that, if 1 he were elected, he would propose I a merit system under which it would be possible, without regard to political affiliations, to select the ! b'sst available man for each state : position. Such a system has been uiged editorially by The Indianapolis Turns in its campaign for penal and law enforcement reform. Mr. Henderson based his appeal for the merit system, however, on the belief that, under the reorgan- i ization of the state departments, i Governor Paul V. McNutt made appointments designed to be mad* by j other state officials and that this j had created a situation in which j “the McNutt conscience acts as thej collective guide for the entire state i government.” For this, he proposed to substitute, through a civil service system, a situation in which, he said, merit and the best judgment of experienced employes would rule. Mr. Henderson, one of the group of younger men which fought through the primary campaign as the Unified Eleven, tore into the' s*ate liquor control law, although he assured his audience at the same time that he did not wish to inject the “moral or wet and dry issue into the campaign.” He thundered against the monopolistic system created under the state law’ by which twelve importers, appointed under a patronage system, hold "and often employ” the power to exclude by arbitrary decree from sale in their districts beers not in their personal favor.

Young Orator Opposes Aged Doctor in Jay County’s Legislative Race

Democrat Lets Youthful Opponent Do All the Talking. By Time * Special PORTLAND, Ind., Oct. 30.-1116 warm handshake and kindly words of an aging country doctor are pitted against the fiery phrases of a youthful state Oratorical champion m the current race for ballots in Jay county. This battle between age and youth at the polls will be decided Nov. 6 when Jay county voters go to the polls to pick for their state representative either Dr. Frederick Schenk, 68. Democrat, New Corydon, the country doctor, or Richard T. James, 24, Republican, Portland, the former state high school oratorical champion. Hus kindly bedside manner and a very human interest in the affairs of persons, now grown up, into whom iie spanked the first breath of life are Dr. Schenk's principal campaign standbys as he seeks rc-election to the general assembly. Campaign of Contrasts For almost forty years, he has peddled pills, sympathy, and medical wisdom in New Corydon and the only change in his method of touring the county for ballots is that he now rides in an auto instead of in the one-horse “shay” of the days when smoking lanterns guided him to rooms of the sick after hours of riding over muddy roads. “He’s brought enough voters into the world to w in off by himself,” declare his adherents. In direct contrast to the quiet campaign of the country doctor is that of his youthful opponent, Mr. James. Mr. James fires broadside after broadside against the McNutt administration in such stirring words that he has been placed on the Republican stale speakers’ bureau. Known As Hard Hitter Marion, Upland, Huntington besides towns in his own county, have heard his hard-hitting attacks against the Democratic ticket. “Too young,” carp his Democratic critics, sure that the country doctor will beat the boy orator. “Why, he east his first vote in 1932 —and lost it to Hoover!” Much of Portland's- younger set seems sure, however, that Mr. James

He is vacationing from his job in the cutting room of a Portland garment factory for his attempt to cut wide swathes in the Democratic vote total in Jay as well as other counties. He is a member of the state bar. Graduated from Portland high school in 1929, he attended Western Reserve college, Cleveland, 0., two

Destructive Pranks Are Target of School Drive Persuasive Campaign Against Destructive Actions on Halloween Waged by City Teachers. The public school system, under the direction of Superintendent Paul C. Stetson, has been carrying on a persuasive campaign during the last week to discourage destructive pranks on Halloween. For the benefit of those of the citizenry who do not feel happy over the prospect of soaped windows, dumped aslicans and deflated automobile tires, the teachers have been stressing good citizenship to their pupils.

Hoping to hold in check some of the usual Halloween license, the schools have been holding their own programs dedicated in a quieter way to All Hallows Eve. It has been pointed out with some success to the younger generations that although George Washington is reported by some historians to have chopped down cherry trees, it is not do’-’n on the books that he ever rang doorbells. Meanwhile, police are taking the usual precautions that law and order will be preserved and are keeping a close lookout for those youngsters who have not been thoroughly innoculated with good citizenship lessons. Monument Circle, as in other years, will be roped off Wednesday night for the crowds of masqueraders who wish to parade their grotesqueness downtown. Beating the calendar a day, Boy Scout Troop 69 will hold a Halloween frolic for scouts, parents and friends tomorrow night at Utley hut, 3731 Boulevard place. Mrs. E. J. Marott, social chairman, will have charge of the affair. CIDER. DOUGHNUTS, PIE STOLEN DURING PARTY Host Enters Kitchen, Finds Dinner and Crockery Gone, Fun is fun, but there is a limit to everything, John F. Custard, 218 North Jefferson street, concluded today, Mr. Custard was having a Halloween party at his home last night. When time came for refreshments, he repaired to the kitchen and found that thieves had 1 been at work. Through an unlocked rear door someone had entered the | house and departed with five pump^ : kin pies, two dozen doughnuts, one ! gallon of cider, a half dozen green plates and one dozen glasses, all valued at $5.

By United Press CLEVELAND, 0., Oct. 30. Joseph R. Nutt and Wilbur M. Baldwin, former chairman and president of the closed Union Trust Company, had been freed today of charges of “window dressing” the bank’s statement of condition in 1931 “with intent to deceive.” A federal court jury of eight men and four women brought in the verdict of acquittal after deliberating five hours. Indictments still stand against the two bankers on charges of using the mails to defraud in connection with the same $10,000,000 government bond transaction which formpd the basis of the “window dressing” charges. District Attorney Emesich B. Freed was to announce today whether the government will prosecute on the mail fraud charges.

SELF-DISCIPLINE GOAL NEAR FOR NRA INDUSTRIES Code Authorities Encouraged to Make Plans for Policing Violators. By Seripp.-ll otceird Xctcspapcr Alliance. WASHINGTON, Oct. 30— NRA is moving a step nearer industrial selfdiscipline. Code authorities, it is learned, are being encouraged to perfect arrangements for policing their own code violators without intervention of NRA’s compliance division. More than a dozen industries already have set up machinery by which members agree in advance to pay certain stipulated sums if they 1 are found by the code authority to 1 have violated code provisions. These so-called “liquidated damages” are paid into the code authority’s treasury. Titus they bring a reduction in the assessments against all members for code administration. Enforcement Speeded l’p Where such a system obtains, much of the work of enforcement is automatically lifted from NRA's j shoulders, and enforcement furthermore is speeded up. Ordinarily, the “liquidated damages” clause applies only to such members of the industry as have ! specifically agreed to its terms. Experience in a number of indus- j tries has shown that the system works to NRA’s satisfaction. Con- j sequently, word has gone down the line that inclusion of such provisions in other codes will be looked on with favor. The trend is in line w r ith recent indications by President Roosevelt and by Donald R. Richberg, chief co-ordinator of the emergency agencies, that industry would be encouraged to enforce its own codes so far as is practicable and in the public interest. System Is Not New The “liquidated damages” system is not new. It dates from the iron j and steel code. But it has been applied to only a scattered few. The agreement to pay damages is not always limited to unethical breaches of the code. In at least two instances—the floor and wall clay tile industry and the carpet and rug industry—members agree to pay certain sums if they sell more than an allotted proportion of “seconds.” Here the “liquidated damages” provision is more a tax : than a fine. Stiekiip Man Gets $26 A stickup man robbed him of $26 last night, David R. Srader, 2928 j West Tenth street, manager of an | A. & P. grocery at 2512 West Sixteenth street, reported to police. Ruptured Men Get $3.50 Truss Free Pay No Money—Now or Ever, for This Truss. KANSAS CITY, Mo. A newer rupture method developed by a doctor is so successful he offers to give every ruptured man or woman who tries it, a $3.50 truss free. It does j away with leg straps, elastic belts, binding spring and harsh pads. After using it, many have reported their ruptures better. Often in a very short time. Other say they no longer need any support. The doctor offers to send his method on thirty days’ trial and will send the $3.50 truss free with it. If the method does not help your rupture return it and keep the $3.50 truss for your trouble. If you are ruptured, just write Dr. Kaiser, 6229 Koch bldg., 2906 Main street, Kansas City, Mo., for his trial offer.--Advertisement,
