YOUNG G. 0. P. LEADERS SEEK COFFINOUSTER Crushing Defeat in County Brings Cry for New Organization. BY JAMES BOSS Timi Staff Writr Probably one of the outstanding manifestations of the election aftermath. in regard to Marion county, is the rumbling of discontent among the younger Republicans over the leadership of the party. It has been said that the crushing defeat of Waiter Pritchard, the Republican mayor nominee, means political oblivion for George V. *Bossi Coffin. The anti-Coffin faction points out that "Boss'' Coffin backed Mr. Pritehard and Mr. Pritchard took a sound drubbing Ergo, the "Boss" is washed up politically. Too ready acceptance of that argument is to discount the. qualities which have enabled the "Boas" on other occasions to come back after he had taken a whipping. Coffin Keeps Silence However, there does appear to be a grave doubt that the "Boss" will ! be able to control the next primary j or convention with ease, because of the disaffection among the younger j element of the Republican party. The "Boss" himself is not what one might describe as a loose talker.; Consequently, his feelings about his j political future are not any too well known, but the best thought is that f the old stag will not take flight at j the onset of the young bucks of the : party. It Is no secret that some of the younger Republican candidates feel j that they didn't get the best of ! deals from the organization which controls the Republican party, because the "Boss" and his boys didn't j want the candidates to get any j ideas. In other words, the theory is that the "Boss" knew the Democrats were going to win and consequently, there wasn't any point in letting' the younger candidates look too j good. This alleged dumping was i said to have taken place in the leg- i lslative races. Emmclman's Future In Doubt Os course, to bring up the question of disposing of the "Boss" also brings up the question of Wayne Emmclman's future. Mr. Emmelman. the Republican county chairman. is a comparatively young man. Hence on the score of age. he can not be ranked with the old guard leaders like the “Boss’* and Gavin L. Fwyne, the Twelfth district Republican chairman. However, to paraphrase the political dictum : about Maine: "As Coffin goes, so goes Emmelman." The "Boss" is credited with putting him in as chairman, so if the ‘ Boss'* is relegated to the political background, it would be logical for 1 Mr Fmmelman also to sit back and relax. Payne Also l’nder Fire “Boss” Coffin alone is not the target of the younger Republican element. There have been some complaints voiced about Mr. Payne s leadership also. However, if there is a concerted effort for a general i. fa aning in the G. O. P. leadei h’.p, Mr. Payne may not present as formidable a problem as the “Boss" because the district leader is reported to have stated before the election, “if we don't win this time,” I m through. However, he might put up a fight and stick to the “Boss." He did when Senator Arthur R. Robinson committed the prize tactical blunder of trying to wrest control of the state committee from the younger group of state leaders who now hold the reins. The "Boss” controlled the four committee votes from the Eleventh and Twelfih districts and the Senator couldn't get one of them, despite all manner of pleas to the man who made him politically. The move to unseat the “Boss" already has gained some momentum,

‘Colorful’ Interview Is Given by City Artist Let Your Mind, Not Complexion, Guide Choice of Wearing Apparel, Taflinger Says.
Si I v
“Let your mind guide you in your color choice, instead of your- complexion,” Elmer E. Taflinger. artists, tells Helen Hicks, Butler senior, 2049 Frinceton place. And Helen, who is a cousin of the famous golf champion who bears the same name, believes she’ll not be handicapped by following the artist's advice. a a a x ana DON'T worry, girls, about what colors you should wear. No matter whether you are blond, brunet, or red-head, all the colors in the rainbow are at your service. That is, if you are intelligent. "The girl with an intelligent brain can wear any color,” Elmer E. Taflinger, 158 East Fourteenth street, Indianapolis artist, says. And, Mr. Taflinger should know—for, as art director for David Bela.sco. he once had to plan the colorings of the costumes of such' well-known actresses as Lenore Ulrich and Ina Claire.
"A blond doesn't need to wear blue to cause a heart flutter among her male acquaintances,” Mr. Taflinger proclaims, blasting at least one noted stylist’s theory. ‘‘Though blue, as a cold color, is supposed to emphasize the warmth of a blond's coloring, blonds are just as striking in red, or any other color. I found that out when I was at the Minneapolis School of Art and met numbers of the real, home-grown blonds there. “I decided then that I had been dealing w’ith synthetic blonds in the east, for those Minneapolis blonds really had warmth (of color). They had so much they had to wear blue to make them approachable.” a a a THOUGH natural coloring should not affect the colors chosen in clothing. Mr. Taflinger believes that varying shades may be selected to correct defects in dispositions. "A blatant, loud-mouthed person should wear subdued colors,” he advises. "The timid, retiring person should ‘pep’ up her character with bright hues.” But the problem of clothes, either with blonds or brunets, is a small one compared to the one it is said, through a quiet campaign among the ward chairmen. A dozen or more of them are said to have been receptive to overtures calculated to bring about a younger and more progressive leadership than that offered by the present organization.
men find themselves in when dressing, he believes. "They are much more fastidious,” the artist contends. "And, if you w r ant to see some one in the midst of a real problem, watch the average man buy a hat. He tries on every one in the store. \ “I know,” Mr. Taflinger added. “I bought anew one last week, in celebration of the election of Herbert Spencer. And it took me all afternoon to do it. "But it really is a good-looking hat, isn't it?” CONVERSATION HEAPS MISFORTUNE ON DRIVER Thrown From Car, Motorist Is Held on License Charge. Driving an automobile and conversing with his companions at the same time, caused an accident early today at Pennsylvania and Washington streets, and resulted in the arrest of John McGoran, 24, of 1750 South Meridian street. McGoran, charged with operating an automobile without a license, said he was talking to his companions when the car scraped the safety zone guard at the downtown corner. The impact swung open the car door threw McGoran into the street. The car continued on, jumped the curb, crashed into the plate glass window of a shoe store at 35 East Washington street. No one was injured.

FARM POLITICAL UPRISING NEAR, OLSONPREDICTS Private Profit Motive Must Go, Says Minnesota’s Radical Chief. • Copyright. 1934. by United Press? ST. PAUL, Nov. 14. Governor Floyd B Olson predicted an agrar- ! ian political revolt in the United States within two years in an inj terview with the United P“ess today. I He advocated anew economic system that practically would eliminate the incentive of private profit. By inference he invited the Roosevelt administration to join him in circumventing ordinary legislative machinery to establish a mammoth public ownership program with Federal Emergency Relief Administration funds. The FERA presently is operating a few factories to produce goods for the unemployed. Governor Olson said that through a legal technicality, the federal government and the Minnesota state government could take relief money to operate factories for unemployed, and sell goods on the open market to obtain cash to pry workers. AAA Is Attacked “I’m not suggesting this exact’y,” j he said. "I'm just asking, why not?” j In FERA policies he saw many leanings acceptable to state owner- I ship. The Rooseveltian cure fo,r agrarian ills, the AAA, he condemned because of its conformation to a “capitalistic pattern.” Governor Olson was re-elected last week on the radical platform of his Farmer-Labor party. The platform stated capitalism should be abolished and advocated public ownership of banks, utilities, insur- ! ance companies, and establishment of state factories. La Follctte Merger Hinted Today he hinted at an alliance of his Farmer-Labor party with the ] Progressive party of Wisconsin, j which last week re-elected Senator j Robert M. La Follette and elected | Phillip La Follette Governor, to ! form a powerful third party that would lead the agrarian revolt. He spoke of the revolt as certain to develop in 1936 and saw little chance of the Roosevelt administration staving it off. Governor Olson said he intended to carry out the pledges of his party platform in Minnesota. “It is my purpose to change the production for use system of federal emergency relief administration relief into an enormous co-operative system in competition with private business,” he said. He granted that this, if carried to its logical limits, ultimately would wreck private enterprise. CORRECTION IS MADE IN STORY OF ARREST Mother Did Not Turn Over Guns to Police, Suspect’s Father Says. Everett Carroll, 1122 Southern avenue, today asked The Indianapolis Times to correct a statement in a story printed in The Times Monday in regard arrest of Lawrence Carroll, 17, his son, on robbery charges. The Times story said the boy's mother took to police headquarters a rifle and an automatic pistol which were found in weeds in the back yard of the Carroll home. Mr. Carroll said patrolman Rudolph Price found the weapons in the back yard after the officer had been called to the home by Mr. Carroll, and asked to aid in searching the yard. Mr. Carroll said the boy's mother had no connection with the incident. Relief Plant Typewriter Stolen A rented typewriter valued at SIOO was stolen from the Marion county emergency relief mattress factory, 55 South Harding street, last night, according to police.
>250.00 "Ts EEX NAME For “Rough Dry” Laundry Service
What’s in a name? Very much indeed! For example: When a lady desires to have the laundry do her WASHING, but not the ironing, she merely specifies that she w ants “DAMP WASH.” The laundry returns the washing DAMP, ready to iron; the lady irons it herself, or has it ironed by someone else, in the home. • Naturally, so helpful a service for 44 or 5c a pound WOULD be popular—but we believe the simple, understandable NAME of this excellent service has helped very much. • Now, “Rough Dry” is a much better service actually more for the patron’s money than “Damp Wash” and, in our opinion, a better, “snappier” name for “Rough Dry” will introduce it into more homes.

‘Poor’ Nancy Leiter’s Troubles End; Becomes of Age, Receives $1,300,000
Chicago Beauty Found It Difficult to Live On $5,000 Monthly. By L'nitt 4 Press CHICAGO, Nov. 14—Nancy Leiter won't have to struggle along any longer on $5,000 a month. Nancy became 18 years old today and among other birthday presents she got $1,300,000. To the blond and beautiful daughter of Joe Leiter and the granddaughter of Levi Z. Leiter, $1,300,000 isn't much more than something to mention in a postscript, but the money will be welcome, for all that. As Nancy earnestly assured a court last May, when reduced stock dividends cut her income to $60,000 a year, "a girl just has to have more than $5,000 a month to live properly.” dends cut her income to $60,000 a year, “a girl just has to have more than $5,000 a month to live properly.” The money is Nancy’s share of the $30,000,000 estate built up by her grandfather, pioneer Chicago merchant who came from England to become a country store clerk. Nancy today got $500,000 outright, with the balance placed in trust with her mother. A tradition of high life, easy spending and sport for sport's sake prepared the young heiress to accept calmly her acquisition of a fortune in her own name. She spent her birthday in the routine of classes at the Westover school, Middlebury, Conn., where she leads a life no whit different from that of classmates |

In “Rough Dry” we wash and dry the entire washing. We include starching of any wearing apparel, if you desire it. We iron and fold all flat pieces this includes all bed, bath and table linen, bedspreads, quilts, comforts, washable rugs. We iron and finish men’s shirts in Rough Dry for 10c each if requested. • The price of "Rough Dry” used to be 11c a pound, then 10c—and we developed sufficient volume of business in this service to reduce the price again—this time to only 8c a pound, and one can send as little as 51c worth at a time. At the new low price we will introduce “Rough . Dry” into thousands more homes —but we should have a better name for the service. So here’s your chance to get paid for helping us find a better name for “Rough Dry.”

who have to wheedle new frocks from reluctant parents. Like her father, Nancy follows all sports but gives first allegiance to horsemanship. She chose her school because riding is encouraged the year round. Joe Leiter’s offspring comes naturally by that love. Leiter at one time owned race horses valued at more than $500,000. He raced them at every major track in the coun-

The previous record for divorces filed in a single day was twentytwo. The scales were balanced however when twenty-four couples approached Judson West, marriage license clerk, and obtained twen-ty-four licenses to wed.

Kin of Chicago Merchant Prince Is 18; Now at School in East. try. His austere, double-breasted frock coat and uncreased, high felt hat were fixtures of American tracks and legends of his irascible temper persist in the paddocks to this day. The same genealogy gives Nancy a right to treat a million dollars casually. When Joe Leiter was graduated from Harvard university in 1891, his father handed him exactly that sum with an admonition to "make it do some work.” Six years later young Leiter was managing his father's entire business. Leiter died two years ago. a year after winning a decade-old court battle with his sister, the countess of Suffolk and Berks, over custody of the huge family fortune. Half his life, he once said, was spent in the courts and the other half on trains. Nancy and her brother. Thomas, inherited $15,000,000 of the estate. Thomas already has received his share. Their mother, Mrs. Juliette Leiter of Washington and Chicago, has an independent fortune and income. She testified in court last spring that maintenance of her Chicago home alone cost $6,000 a month. Attorneys handling the transfer of Nancy's fortune to her own account—the only interviewable attaches of the family—were positive today that she has no immediate prospect of marriage. Said one: "She's too busy and too young—and she's sensible. She’ll finish school and probably travel awhil*. And anyway, a million dollars isn't so much.”
