TOWNSEND PLAN SWEEPING lOWA, WILSON LEARNS Roosevelt Still Popular, Though, Because of AAA Benefits. BY I k'LE C. WILSON Cnited Press Staff Correspondent DES MOINES, la., Dec. 12.—Iowa is breaking out in a rash of radical political ideas. They don't amount to much so far, but they indicate new thinking trends in this normally Republican state. The Townsend Plan is beginning to make itself felt. More significant is the fact that discontented elements, which hitherto have followed radical Republican leaders, have begun to organize for themselves. There is in lowa a formal P’arnn-er-Labor party. State law requires a political party to obtain 2 per cent of the vote cast to obtain recognition of its candidates on primary ballots. Last election the FarmerLa borites polled double the necessary percentage and hope to chisel more votes next year. Holiday Croup Active Milo Reno's Farm Holiday Association still is active, although less is heard of it now than when Mr. Reno was organizing farm strike picket lines a couple of years ago. Politically minded lowans are interested—many of them alarmedby recent Townsend Plan developments. Cleveland O. Crowninshield, named for Ohio's Greatest city, is Dr. Townsend’s lowa representative. The Townsendites are having trouble with some of the daily newspapers in the state. Until Mr. Crowninshield was convinced I was not an employe of the Des Moines Register-Tribune he would tell me nothing. I convinced him and his story was short and sweet. “There ain't any question,” he told me, “but that lowa is going over for the Plan. It is the only hope of the Republican party in lowa.” 25,000 Members So Far There are 600 Townsend Plan clubs with 25, members so far. Organization began Jan. 1, and there has been rapid recent growth. As on the West Coast and in the mountain states, Mid-Western Townsendites have borrowed the late Wayne B. Wheeler’s Anti-Saloon League political strategy. They wall support Congressional candidates who support their plan. Republicans and Democrats should be warned by the experience of Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace here recently. He made a speech and submitted himself for questions. Up popped this one: “If the New Deal is sound, wouldn’t a step further to the the Townsend Plan put more money in circulation and aid recovery.” YVallace Ducks That One A statesman of national standing should have had an answer, but Mr. Wallace had to duck it. The incident probably will make Townsend Club members and Townsend Plan votes. I was told that the Progressive Farmer-Labor leaders of the Mid-West are perfecting their reply to such questions and j that they believe they have a con- j vincing argument. The brighter side of the lowa j landscape reveals better business, j and back of that improved agricultural purchasing power. The dispute between the left wing and the New Deal during the campaign will be whether farm purchasing power would have been greater if Mr. Roosevelt had pursued more vigorously the policies generally denounced by the Republican opposition on grounds of regimentation, extravagance and state socialism. lowa's corn-hog take in 1934 and

Don’t Buy Medicine FOR THESE DISORDERS! ||| Indigestion, Sour Stomach, Sluggish Liver, Constipation, Gas Pains in Stomach and Bowels, or Rundown Condition | Acceptlndo-Yin— FREE '\||^| **

Every person who suffers from these ailments may have an introductory treatment of the new medicine that works with one's food to try free. Simply read the offer below. Do this in your own interest. This is a scientific formula, not a “cure-all.” It is known as Indo-Vin and has helped 85 tor 90) per cent of the people who have taken it. Therefore, we offer the FIRST bottle free because we believe those who are benefited will keep on using it. We want no money from those it does not help. The regular full-size price of this medicine is $1.25. How It Acts Indo-Vin is taken after meals and mixes with the food in the stomach, often acting in less than ten minutes to stop gas pains, sourness and bloating. It contains pure ingredients of natural origin. It will aid the liver by stimulating the flow of fresh bile, so necessary in helping Nature digest your food, and it will further aid in the removal of intestinal impurities that may‘have been the cause, all along, of your headaches, biliousness, dizzy spells or lazy’, drowsy, worn-out feelings. Now, whether or not it will help you as it has thousands of others—whether it will end your suffering in a day or week—remains to be seen. But under this free offer, you can easily find out in a period of a few days whether it seems to be effective in your case or not. And for that reason, it would seem foolish not to try it; therefore, read the rest of this announcement and act at once. Do this in fairness to yourself. What It Will Do! Indo-Vin will cleanse your bowels gradually, easily, and thoroughly without the usual pain and griping that often come from the use of many cathartics. It will bring out gases and in-

Lutz Points to Dillinger as Spur to Enforcement Fear Instilled by Gang Raids Has Brought New Crime Treatment, Says Indiana Attorney General. "The fear which Dillinger and bis gang put into law enforcement of this state in 1933 and 1934 has borne fruit in new methods of law en'orcement,' Atty. Gen. Philip Lutz Jr. told Indiana sheriffs today.

Speaking before the Indiana Association of County Sheriffs today in the Claypool, Mr. Lutz reviewed nev criminal laws and methods of la ** enforcement. The practice of “dumping” paroled convicts into adjoining states was condemned by Mr. Lutz, who pointed out that Gov. McNutt had signed an interstate compact with Michigan. Defending the parole system, Mr. Lutz said. “The philosophy cf our 1935 was approximately $113,000,000 and there was a million or so for wheat and sugar beet growers. In the corn-hog referendum this year lowa voted about 6 to 1 to continue those AAA benefits. In Senator L J. Dickinson s home county Kossuth the vote was more than 16 to 1 for AAA. Mr. Dickinson is chief critic of Roosevelt crop control. Republicans say there was plural voting because both farm tenants and owners were polled. But the 6-to-l margin of 1935 is impressive when compared with the 2 V 2 to Iby which corn-hog control was approved last year. Auto Sales Up Automobile and retail sales present evidence of improved business. In 1933, 27.000 new cars were sold. In the first nine months of 1934 new car sales aggregated 31,000. In the first nine months this year lowa dealers delivered 53,900 new cars. I was told that increases in car registration were largely in the rural districts. A state sales tax check showed that lowa retail business for July, August and September of this year was 21 per cent, over the corresponding months of 1934. The John Deere tractor plant, idle through most of the depression, now is employing between 3000 and 4000. I took a turn through Yonkers department store. The largest of its kind in lowa. The Christmas crowds looked like the good old days. Roosevelt Favored I do not believe an Eastern Republican would have any chance to win lowa. I was told Senator William E. Borah would give the New Deal its stiffest lowa contest today. Gov. Alf M. Landon of Kansas. Col. Frank Knox of Chicago or Senator Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan would poll in direct proportion to appeal of their agricultural progress in comparison with the AAA system of sending farmers checks for not growing this or that. State politics favor the Republicans. The Democratic State Administration has had trouble. Atty. Gen. O'Connor has been indicted on charges of gambling conspiracy and is on trial in Sioux City. State sale of liquor has proved embarrassing. As of today I believe Mr. Roosevelt would win in lowa. B. F. Kauffman a Republican, who is president of the Bankers Trust Cos, told he he thought the only man who could lick Mr. Roosevelt in lowa next November is Franklin Delano Roosevelt. That is, barring bad breaks and political blunders, the New Deal may count lowa in its column of electoral votes. Traces Family Trees for 12 Years By I'nited Press HUMBOLDT.

law is that the purpose of penalty for crime is not revenge or brutal and vindictive punishment, but is one of reformation, and after a person has served his minimum term he should be adjudged according to whether he has sufficiently reformed to take his place in society.” Sheriff Otto Ray, Marion County, j was praised by Mr. Lutz as “an outstanding example of fine public servant.” HOSIERY UNION YULE FETE TO BE SATURDAY Branch 35 to Give Party, Dance at Castle Hall.
