MONDAY. NOVEMBER S 18J4. A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE TUST as the 1932 election was decided on the unpopularity of a President, so the •lection tomorrow will be decided on the popularity of a President. Mr. Roosevelt richly deserves approval of the broad, humanitarian purposes of the New Deal. Tomorrow's vote should demonstrate to the President's reactionary critics that they can not beat something with nothing. It may cause them thereafter to substitute a positive program of action for their negative course of recent months. Republican leadership in this campaign has been even more bankrupt than expected. Only m such rock-bound Republican states as Vermont. Delaware and Pennsylvania are their candidates for the United States senate given even a chance to win. In at least five other normally Republican states. Democrats will win handily. This impotence of the G. O. P. opposition can not be other than a cause for regret to all who like to see democracy function. There are clear state issues, but in most of the congressional contests there will be no decision on definite national problems. In some states, the voters will choose between what the Roosevelt administration has done or hopes to do, on one side, and nothing on the other side. While in other states Democratic and Republican candidates for congress are equally pro-Roosevelt. Thus the election is apt to serve as a general tribute to the President’s intentions rather than as a popular mandate for specific recovery and reform measures.

S:R C HARLES MAKES IT WHENEVER a spectacular flight of worldwide acclaim is completed, we always seem to ask ourselves, “Well, what did this one prove?" It shouldn't, perhaps, be necessary for it to prove anything, but we always ask the question anyway. And so it comes up again, with the amazingly successful flight of Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith from Australia to California. The answer in this case is that it does not prove much, other than that Sir Charles further identifies himself as one of the world’s most skillful fliers, as well as a very bold one. To start out over some j>,ooo miles of water in a land plane, as Sir Charles did, was reckless. And to do it in a single-motored ship was tempting the old man with the scythe almost beyond endurance. But luck rode with Sir Charles and here he is, safe and sound. This flight did prove that motors have gotten pretty good. But it shouldn’t mislead us into any belief that one motor is better than three. A COMPLICATED TASK GETTING Bill Smith through the depression does more than any other single government undertaking to reveal the astounding and perplexing contradictions involved in our effort to get back to good times. Bill Smith, let us say, is an Arkansas cotton grower; a tenant farmer who has always rented his land. Last year the depression got him right down to the bottom of the barrel. He couldn't rent his farm any more and he couldn't get a job. He had a wife and five children. The sum total of his worldly goods was a flock of seventeen chickens. Like others in such circumstances, he went on relief. The other day. his family was one of a number of families established on a tract of 16.500 acres of government land in northeast Arkansas. There was a house all ready for Bill Smith; a nice, attractive little cottage, with electric lights, running water, and so on. B’ck of it and the other houses stretched the 16.500 acres of government land, all grown up with trees. The scheme is this: Thirty acres are allotted to Bill Smith. He will clear them this winter, with the relief administration furnishing him with anything he lacks. Some of this he will pay for with his labor, helping to grade the roads, build a community house, erect bridges, etc. He spent the summer on a tract the government rented to him. and raised enough foodstuffs to live on all winter until he gets his new land cleared and planted. He also earned enough to buy a mule, a cow. some more chickens, and a few other things he needed. Now consider what is being done here. Avery worthy end is being attained. Bill Smith, together with hundreds like him, is being made self-supporting. He is regaining his hope and happiness. There may be some victims of the depression who would like to see our government tom down and replaced by some ism or other, but he isn't one of them. But look at the contradictions. At a time when the government pays men to reduce cotton production, here is new land being put into the growing of cotton. Marginal farm land is being retired—and here is a new stretch being opened. Forest conservation is being stressed—and here a forest is being cut down. What's the answer? Heaven only knows. It is contradictory- and illogical—and we can't help doing it. We must get Bill Smith through the depression—even if. by doing so, w-e raise questions for which we have not the shadow of an answer. BRITAIN SWINGS LEFT LABOR'S victory in the British elections indicates another swing to the left. They were municipal elections with no direct relation to the national government. Neverthe-

newspapers have an old custom of publishing their slates of candidates just before election. Today The Times lists the men running for public office in whom it believes the public may place its faith. We are an independent newspaper. We make no deals nor do we attempt to dictate to any party. If a party gives # us principles and candidates we feel we can support conscientiously we back them; if not, we attack them. We care nothing for labels. What interests us is the thing that is back of the label. In general, we believe the voters will best serve themselves and their nation by supporting the Democratic ticket. Do not be deceived Ijy the straw men which a leaderless and floundering Republicanism has set up in the campaign which has Just closed. Look at the record. Compare the situation of the country, state ind city today with their plight at the end of the do-nothing era of Hoovensm. The Democrats have made errors, some of them absurd. They still have a long distance to go to recovery, but things ARE better. SHERMAN MINTON should be elected. He has saved the people millions of dollars in utility rates. He is pledged to support the progressive and humanitarian policies of President Roosevelt. His opponent, Arthur Robinson. is opposed to the New Deal, has made no record at all In the senate and has not the confidence of his own party leaders. Not a single member of the senate came to Indiana to assist in his campaign. If his own national leaders don't trust him why should the voters of Indiana? Senator Robinson, desperate for issues, dragged Governor McNutt into the campaign although the Governor is not standing for office. His move was a boomerang. Governor McNutt stood up publicly and answered every question, no matter how personal, about himself. Senator Robinson failed to do the same thing, although we publicly have asked him three times what were his relations with D. C. Stephenson, former klan leader and convicted murderer. The voters will draw’ their own conclusions from his silence. JOHN KERN should be elected mayor of Indianapolis. He will continue the policies of Mayor Sullivan, who has pulled the city through the depression with a surplus, with lower taxes and with the soundest credit of any large community in the country. Judge Kern will have the co-operation of Washington in obtaining public funds for such necessary improvements as track elevation and other public works for the relief of unemployment. Public-minded Republicans should, we think, vote for Judge Kern as the only way of purging their party of Coffinism. Local Republicanism never is going to be worth a continental so long as It is boss controlled. The only way to get rid of a boss is to lick him at the polls. There should be anew deal for the Republican party in Indianapolis. Coffinism MUST go. Next in importance is the legislative ticket. Governor McNutt’s liberal and progressiva policies should be supported by giving the Democrats a working majority in both houses. Yet, as an independent newspaper, we believe the legislature should contain an intelligent, fighting minority of first-class, young Republicans. Too much power is a bad thing for any party and legislatures should be" deliberative bodies in which matters of public policy will be thoroughly debated. So we are backing four Republicans from Marion county for the lower house. nan Albert j. beveridge jr. should by all means be supported by members of both parties. His tremendous knowledge of state police systems throughout this country and Canada is of the utmost importance at this time. He is fearless, independent and shrewd. LAURENS HENDERSON will be invaluable in the legislature. He has made a careful and detailed study of liquor control both in Indiana and elsewhere. The present liquor law is experimental. Both Democrats and Republicans agree that it must be overhauled at the

less they are commonly accepted as straws in the national political wind. Incomplete returns gave Labor a gain of 190 seats at the expense of the conservatives, liberals and independents. Labor was especially strong in the industrial areas. One of the surprising features of the campaign was the failure of the Tories to frighten away Labor votes with the threat of higher taxes. The English people, already highly taxed, seem to be willing to pay for widespread government and social services provided they get something for their money. Doubtless the British swing to the left is to be explained in part by the same popular discontent with depression conditions also indicated in this country. In the recent American primaries voters tended to choose the most radical candidate offered, and—with the exception of Sinclair who has made himself rather a laughing stock in California—they apparently intend to continue their swing to the left in the elections tomorrow. CAUSE OF SEA DISASTER A N excellent follow-up of such sea disasters as the burning of the Morro Castle is to be found in a survey made recently by government marine experts and submitted to the National Labor Relations Board. The agents who made this survey find that American steamship lines are consistently underpaying and overworking their crews. The ''turn-around'’ is so short that the men get very little time in port. In many cases even the food—for years the big talking-point of the American merchant marine—is below standard. Such things can have a direct connection with tragedies at sea. They make it hard for a ship to keep a seasoned crew. They keep a crew's efficiency below par. Result—when trouble comes, the ship's company does not function as skillfully, promptly, and obediently as it should. Any program to make sea travel safer must include some consideration of the sailor's working conditions. A wealthy woman, who has been appearing in shorts around Reno, couldn’t get her divorce until she dressed as 'a woman. But it would have been too much to ask her to act like one.

The Slate A Statement

next session. The people wfli make no mistake in availing themselves of Mr. Henfierson's services. CONRAD RUCKELSHAUS is a specialist in finance. He has a thorough grasp of the economic problems which are confronting the legislature. Like Mr. Beveridge and Mr. Henderson he is young and progressive. He is precisely the type of Republican who should go to the house in January. ROBERT LEE BROKENBURR represents the highest type in the Negro community of Indianapolis. Thoroughly educated, courteous and courageous he belongs in public office. He received his nomination DESPITE Coffin. He has achieved a reputation as a member of the Indiana bar. The Times believes it is vital to good government that Mr. Beveridge, Mr. Henderson, Mr. Ruckelshaus and Mr. Brokenburr, all Republicans, be elected to the legislature. You will best serve yourself by voting for them. The Democratic party offers an unusually strong slate of legislative candidates. It is difficult to go wrong on any of them, but three, we think, deserve particular mention. ROBERTA WEST NICHOLSON (Mrs. Meredith Nicholson Jr.) was one of the doughtiest fighters for the wet cause in the days when it took courage of the highest order for a woman to take such a stand. She has a splendid background for public office. In addition, she has brains. y MORRIS H. COERS is the progressive young pastor of the Thirty-first Street Baptist church. We do not entirely agree with his opinions on prohibition, but we heartily indorse his views on everything else. It will be a mighty good thing to have a clergyman in the legislature. The voters are fortunate in having such a man available for their service. THOMAS A. HENDRICKS certainly should go to the state senate. He has a thorough grasp of public affairs, having bfcen a newspaper man and a state representative for several years. His record as executive secretary of the Indiana State Medical Association speaks for itself. a a u npHOUGHTFUL voters can, we think, do a little pruning so far as the countv ticket is concerned. The Democrats have allowed some political hacks to move into the county building and this is as good a time as any to move them out. JOHN F. ENGELKE, Republican, should be elected judge of juvenile court. The conduct of this court has for several years been totally inadequate to modern conditions. Judge Geckler, the incumbent, is a hard worker, but he is unsuited temperamentally to the position and therefore should not be returned. Mr. Engelke is a far better man for the job having had fifteen years of experience in this court as legal investigator. His record was splendid. JAMES L. BRADFORD, Republican, seeks the imporant post of county recorder. He has been a newspaper man for many years in Indianapolis and when employed by the “News” was assigned to the recorder’s office. He Is honest and independent and will be an ideal man for this job. A few years ago The Times exposed the activities of Ira P. Haymaker in connection with the purchase of real estate out of the school fund. Mr. Haymaker is running for re-election as recorder. His record is such that he should be repudiated by the voters. CHARLES W. MANN, Republican, should be elected county auditor. His opponent, Charles A. Grossart, incumbent, is a political error on the part of the Democratic party. We think it is an excellent idea for the man who keeps the coupty books to be a member of the minority party. It serves as a check on the majority. Mr. Mann's personal record is clean and as the chief fiscal officer of a fire insurance association he will bring an accurate knowledge of finance to the office of auditor. Aside from the exceptions we have cited the Democratic party should, we believe, receive the sweeping support of the voters. Its candidates are good candidates. Its principles are of the highest. The Republicans have raised no important issue in the campaign. They have nothing to offer. Let us march on with President Roosevelt.

BY GEORGE ABELL ! 'T'HE capital’s younger diplomatic set had (as one envoy put) "a hell of good time” over Halloween. One of the most amusing and successful parties of the season was given, with every nationality contributing a clever idea. In the course of a merry evening, which began with dinner parties and ended when the music stopped at about 5 (or was it later?), everything was imbibed in the way of drinks from Spanish sherry to champagne. A young rooster tied with pink ribbons was brought on the dance floor by tall blond Carl Borgenstierna of the Swedish legation, who arrived dressed as a farmer in overalls and broadbrimmed straw hat. Handsome Louis Micheli of the Swiss legation was another farmer, a blue bandana handkerchief around his neck. With a few flowers sewed on his coat, an alpenstock, an eidelweiss and a yodel, he would have been a “success sou” as a Swiss mountaineer. The very entrancing Socha Moscicka, wife of Polish secretary Joseph Moscicka <a son of Poland's President), appeared as a little girl, a bright ribbon in her blond, bobbed hair, wearing socks and a gingham dress. Sidney Gest, admirer of Mexico and formerly stationed at the American embassy in Cuba, wore his famous “traje de Charro,’’ including a huge horse pistol, silver spurs, leather jacket and silver-buckled belt. It was (as Sidney assured his friends) "the genuine thing, not at all overdone.” a a a MARUJA and Gerald Walravens of the Belgian embassy wore nautical costumes— Gerard in a sailor suit and Maruja in yachting togs, with a Chilean sailor hat adorned by a red pom-pom. Andrew Wylie (who has just returned from a two years' voyage through Siberia, China, Japan, Arabia and nearly every exotic place one can imagine) chose to come attired as a New Jersey farmer who has never gone farther than Trenton. A Russian peasant girl with a red kerchief wrapped around her black hair and strings of multi-colored beads turned out to be Larissa de Echegaray, Russian wife of Don Miguel Echegaray Romea, Spanish diplomat. Don Miguel himself declined to wear a faccy costume at first, but friends forcibly arrayed him in checkered trousers, velvet coat and Windsor tie, a transformation which made him resemble a daguerreotype of General Beauregard in 1862. Explorers’ outfits were popular. Among those who favored them was the attractive Marjorie Talman. in khaki shorts and helmet; Don Mario Rodrigues, Chilean diplomat and world traveler, and Lieutenant-Colonel Paolo Sbemadori of the Italian embassy, who carried a mouse trap with the legend “Bring ’em Back Alive.”

Make your Limit them to 850 words or less.) letters short, so all can have a chance. a a a HE WANTS TO KNOW WHERE THAT "CORNER” IS By Boy Brown. May I reply to a Times reader who wrote on Oct. 24? He'd outlaw Socialism and Communism. In the first place, Mr. Reader, please be fair with us. And when you try to quote such authority as Webster, quote it as it is written, and don’t leave the parts out that you don’t like. It makes us think you aim to leave a bad impression. I am going to watch to see if you have the nerve to quote the full definition of Socialism as it is given in Webster’s dictionary. Such attacks on Socialism remind me of a Republican making a speech a few days ago, and, after telling everything he knew on the Democratic party, he closed his talk and sat down without telling us what he or his party were going to do about the situation. As for your advice to us to read up on the Russian experiment in Soicalism, I will say that if the Russian can come out of the mess that the old czar left them in, and can save half of their people, they will do well. I wonder if Mr. Times Reader would advise the Russian people to go back to the old system under the czar. Do you know the history of that old system and the conditions that the people of Russia were in under the czar? If you do, certainly you will have to give them credit for having brains enough to shake off their shackles and try a new system. Many more things could be said on the question of outlawing Socialism and Communism, but on account of space I will close by asking Mr. Times Reader one question: If we outlaw Socialism and Communism and depend on the Democratic or Republican party to lift us out of this mess, just when can we expect good times? When Hoover was elected good times were just around the corner—sixty days and everything would be 6. K„ and when Mr. Roosevelt took his scat, it just was six months. Now, just when will it be? a a a RADIO SPEECH IS BRANDED "SILLY” By H. C. Thorpe. I heard William A. Huff of Greenfield give a little bedtime story of "Paul and the Bear” on the radio. Had all the children of Marion county been listening and could vote probably his talk would not have been wasted but, as it is, I believe that he did the Republican cause more harm than good. I have heard many silly things said during a campaign but this was undoubtedly the worst of all. a a a SOCIALISM COMING IS HIS THEORY By Noah Little. In reply to Times Reader of Oct. 24, when a man comes to the place where his mind is a single track, and can not or will not read a subject with an open mind, he is beyond hope. Everything we have today was at one time theory—then entered ex-: perimental stages later to be perfected. No one can say our present sys- I tern is perfect, when 23.000,000 people are pauperized without hope for anything but a dole. In Lincoln's first Inaugural address, 1861, he said, "This country,: with its institutions, belong to the j people who inhabit it. Whenever, they shall grow weary of existing j government, they may exercise their j constitutional right of amending it *

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE BOYS?

By Nine Veterans. Otto Ray, Democratic nominee for sheriff, was the subject of an attack in the Message Center of your paper Oct. 3, in a letter signed, “A Foreign Service Man” under the pretext of asking for Ray's service record during the World war. The signers of this letter feel sure that The Times, in a spirit of fairness will give us the same opportunity to set out the record of Mr. Ray as it gave "Foreign Service Man.” Briefly, here is the record: Otto Ray enlisted in the United States army, Oct. 5, 1917, despite the fact that he was offered and urged to take an exemption from military service because of the character of the work in which he was engaged, work by the way, which paid him a salary in excess of SIOO a week. He received an honorable discharge May 9, 1919, with character given as excellent. During his nineteen months of service, Ray held the rank of duty sergeant, first sergeant and sergeant first class. As his discharge with excellent character proves, he did a fine job of soldiering by carrying out every assignment given by his superior officers, by doing what he was ordered to do and going where he was told to go, as every good service man did. Mr. Foreign Service Man and others can verify these facts easily by asking Senator Arthur Robinson under whom Mr. Ray served while in the Three hundred thirty-fourth infantry, Eighty-fourth division. While in service, Ray received an injury which sent him to the hospital. He was advised to take a surgeon’s certificate of discharge, but refused and finally prevailed

or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it.” What any one man thinks or would do is beside the question. I hold nothing against any man for his views. It is his right to think out his own problems, but the great trouble with men of your type is they let someone else do their thinking. They try to tell other people things, as you have, without sense, rhyme or reason. Mr. Times Reader, as a poor man, have you advanced any in the last fifteen years? Our economic system is wrong and the Socialist offers the only solution. For years the Socialists have warned present conditions were bound to come under the present system. It is here and to stay under this system. A few days ago the President stated prices were not yet high enough. Who is the loser? I’ll tell you. The little fellow working for small wages or living on our dole system. So, Mr. Times Reader, if you have not awakened in forty-three years, sleep on. Socialism is coming with a bang. Yes. and you will like it. The only thing wrong is you do not understand it now. a a a BEER IS GARNERING VOTES, READER SAYS Bv a Time* Reader. Asa Times Reader I would like space in your Message Center with just a few words about Walter Pritchard. In The Times a few days ago it said Mr. Pritchard had promised several men jobs on the police force if he were elected. I, for one, don't think Mr. Pritchard did anything of the kind and even if he did, he isn’t buying their votes with beer and a sandwich. You can go to a Republican meeting and enjoy it without having drunks talking all the time. At the Democratic meetings, they serve you beer and half the people wouldn’t go to these

upon the medical officers to permit him to remain in active service. Following his dicharge from the army, this injury caused him to be a patient in the Methodist hospital in Indianapolis, and for your information Mr. (so -ca 11 ed) Foreign Service Man, he never has drawn one cent of compensation, pension or remuneration from the United States government. He has in his possession today an adjusted service certificate, No. A4068249 for $1,255, payable in 1945. Now as to the charge of Ray using the veterans or any one else for his own political advancement, let the following record speak for itself: Ray, as district commander, conducted the American Legion air circus and races July 15-16, 1933, at the municipal airport. This affair netted the legion $3,901.16, for the legion’s welfare and relief fund -and to entertain the American war mothers in their national convention in Indianapolis. Ray was chairman of the "Hell Drivers” show held this summer at the fairground, which netted the Legion more than S9OO. Over his own protest, he was selected general chairman of the Legion committees in charge of the rodeo, recently held here. He gave up three weeks of his time and the affair brought the Legion more than $2,000. Ray was chairman of the Marion county committee that attended the state Legion convention at Gary and brought back the bacon in the, form of the Legion convention for Indianapolis in 1935. Ask the newspaper men and Legionnaires who were there what they think of Ray. This convention will bring not less than fifteen thousand visitors to Indianapolis.

Democratic meetings, but they know they are going to get beer. You can stand outside the Democratic meetings and hear some of the Democrats say, "Well, the Republicans never gave us this beer to drink.” The reason is the Republicans didn’t have to have beer to go to these meetings. They went without because they were good Republicans. You can go up to some of the Democrats and ask them who they want for mayor and they can’t tell you. The Democrats even sent word out to the city employes if they weren’t at the meetings and didn’t march in the parade, they would lose their jobs. INFORMATION OBTAINED BY DEMOCRATS UNDER FIRE Br a New Dealer. There are persons who cause the differences between good government and bad government by putting out the incorrect information. They accuse the Republicans of asking where your husband was employed but the truth is that a Democrat asked that question when the poll was taken. 11l give you two guesses as to why the question was asked and your first answer probably will be right. I was a Democratic worker myself and had the poll book in my hands so I am in a position to know that the red-cover-ed book labeled Democratic Poll had a space provided for the informa-

tion. There is a possibility that you are innocent of your mistake because when the Democratic worker saw you took exception to the question he probably told you he was the Republican worker. I believe in putting the blame where it is due and the Republicans have been accused so wrongly in the last few weeks that I am forced to support them in the coming election. a a a OBJECTS TO FREQUENT M’NUTT PICTURES By George Gould Hine. If Marion county goes Republican, it will be due to the photographers. They have over-exposed McNutt. No homely he-man can look at those pictures without boiling. We say, with increasing nausea, it makes no difference whether this man is a Democrat or Republican, a doer or a drifter, there stands our natural enemy, we don’t like him; down with him and all his works. Whence comes this feeling? Why boys, that the instinct that causes every male animal to stiffen and growl at the sight of a better-look-ing one. The G. O. P. knows that slogans and catch-words have bounced off. So they just point at Paul. And we froth at the mouth. As Charlie Dawes says, take a look at that man Arthur, laughing up his sleeve. He gave the whole wide world an attack of nausea. When the country was in desperate straits, he was the only man in congress to stand up and villify the President. If there a man with soul so dead, with brain so ossified that he couldn't understand that here was a demonstration that democracy itself (not the Democratic party) was incapable of united and prompt action in an emergency. Mussolini must have laughed—he said democracy could do nothing tut talk. A curious thing to appear in a Republican newspaper, was in the Indianapolis Star the other day. William Feather quoted from Paul Warburg, as follows: "How long will the memory of painful experience prevent human greed from regaining control?” Feather guessed four years. We guess two years, in Marion county, unless we quit looking at Paul. a a a SUGGEST VOTERS THINK A BOLT CANDIDATES By Fred Deal. Why is it that we are hearing so much about Coffin and McNutt, when neither of them are running, for office? Is it to keep the voters from finding out about the men that really are running for office? There is one man that I think every taxpayer In Marion county should vote for and that Is Frank Cones for treasurer. He is not a machine man and he is running on • a platform that we all have advo-. cated. If you are sincere, you will back him. The fees and costs will go into a general fund for the benefit of the taxpayers instead of his own pocket. He is a man that will keep his word. If you are a man voting for your own good instead oi the party, think this over.
