ELECTION DISPUTE FLARES; COURT FREES 3 HELD BY RAY; LIGHT VOTING IS REPORTED

Sheriff Arrests Workers on Charges of Distributing ‘lllegal’ Slates. (Continued From Page One) bench and ordered the hearing on th' - bond of the men. Lewis K. Murchie, deputy prosecutor, stood in the rear of the courtroom and refused to act as representative of the prosecutor’s office at the hearing. Judge Myers se* the bonds at SIOOO. The r/cu were returned to the county Jail. “In the true sense of the word,” said Judge Myers, “this is a Federal election because congressmen are to be nominated. I am not hearing any evidence, but it seems to me that these men should be held and turned over to Federal officers.” Judge Baker then returned to Criminal Court and Sheriff Ray took the five men to the county jail to await bond money. Judge Baker previously told Ray, the sheriff said: “This is not Philadelphia, where they have political racketeering.” Sheriff Ray said Judge Baker told h'>n that he was hurting the chances of Democratic nominees in the November elections. “The organization is hurting its chances, I am not,” the sheriff said he told Judge Baker. Sheriff Ray was refused warrants for the five workers on charges of violating the election laws by deputy prosecutors in municipal court, he said. Paul Rochford, the sheriff’s attorney, took statements from the 13 persons brought to County Jail by sheriff’s deputies shortly after the polls opened. Eight of the political workers were released after the statements were obtained. Sheriff Ray declared he had received an opinion from Mr. Gause that it was illegal to stamp Shover’s name on the regular Democratic organization slate. Legal, Spencer’s View Mr. Spencer, father of the prosecutor. expressed an opinion over the telephone that the stamping in of Mr. Shover’s name was legal. He pointed out that the organization had obtained consent from Mr. Shover for the use of his name. But Mr. Gause, according to Sheriff Ray, said that failure to have the name of the printer who placed the rubber-stamped “Shover” on the slate made it an illegal handbill. Walter C. Boetcher, Democratic county chairnian, said the rubberstamped slates would be withdrawn from all precincts. He declared the county committee did not order the use of the rubber stamp, but said that it had received an opinion from attorneys that the use of the stamp was legal. Sent to Hohlt Office The sheriff’s action resulted in threats of irate Democratic organization workers to obtain a habeas corpus action to release persons held at the County Jail. , Two deputies went to the office of Leonard Hohlt, Perry Township trustee, on a report that the slates had been stamped in his office. Sheriff Ray said he asked Louis Adams, deputy prosecutor, for a warrant for Mr. Hohlt’s arrest and that the warrant was refused. Mr. Adams told the Sheriff to get in touch with Prosecutor Spencer. Mr. Adams said that Prosecutor Spencer told him not to issue any election warrant. He said the prosecutor would handle election complaints out of his own office. A few minutes later Sheriff Ray and Trustee Hohlt clashed verbally in the prosecutoris office. Asks Warrant for Trustee Sheriff Ray entered the prosecutor’s office and said: “I want a warrant for the arrest of Leonard Hohlt.” Prosecutor Spencer retorted: "We’re waiting for Judge Gause, election commissioner. He said he’d be down here. My father (W. W. Spencer, state election commissioner! is waiting here now and when Mr. Gause comes we’ll find out if it is a violation of the law.” Sheriff Ray said: “You might get some saps to sit around here and wait but I’m just too smart to do it.” Then the sheriff added: I’ll take responsibility for any affidavit issued and signed by me.” “Anyway,” answered the prosecutor. “Hohlt is not going to leave town.” At this Juncture Mr. Hohlt entered the office and the prosecutor said: “Here’s Hohlt now.” The sheriff and the township trustee faced each other and the sheriff said: j“As soon as I can I am going to’get an affidavit out against you. I’ve been down to your place already.” Mr. Hohlt retorted: “And I’m going to get an affidavit out against you for entering my office without a search warrant.” “Your workers invited me in," answered the sheriff heatedly. “No one has any right in my office,” declared Mr. Hohlt. Wrangles With Spencer Prosecutor Spencer then interposed with the assertion that all his office was attempting to do was to protect “every one’s reputation’’ and find out whether the slate is legal. “I can take care of my own reputation.” Ray said. “The law on slates was passed to defeat slates like that,” said Mr. Soencer. The sheriff then said that he would obtain other affidavits, if necessary, charging persons with registering from places other than their residencies. A few minutes’ after the sheriff left the prosecutors’ office Chief Morrissey appeared at the prosecutor’s office and requested advice regarding the detention of some of his frienus by the sheriff.

State Voting Is Slow Despite Pension Issue

Ideal Farm Weather Keeps Many From Polls in Rural Areas. (Continued From Page One) ter publisher, on the Democratic ticket in Halleck’s second district, were unopposed. But, virtually every one of the other contests involved at least one candidate championing the old-age revolving pension plan. One of the strongest among the Townsendites was John Harry Browning, Elkhart attorney, opposing Rep. Samuel B. Pettingill, South Bend, for the Third District Democratic nomination. Browning also has indorsement of Fr. Charles E. Coughlin’s National Union for Scoial Justice. Benjamin J. Brown, Kokomo district organizer for the Townsend plan movement, sought the Republican nomination in a field of four candidates. A three-way fight on the Republican ticket in the Seventh District produced Stephen H. Burton, Washington, as a pension plan supporter. Mr. Burton was a candidate for the Democratic nomination in 1934. Intra-Party Fights Herbert Rader, Huntingburg, campaigned on the pension issue in opposition to Charles F. Werner, Evansville, the 1934 Republican nominee in the Eighth District. For the more “organization-mind-ed” voters there were interesting intra-party fights in both Republican and Democratic ranks. The Democratic fight, most vigorous of the two, revolved around selection of delegates to the state nominating convention and choice of precinct committeemen. Three fcandidates for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination— Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend, Hartford City; E. Kirk McKinney, Indianapolis, and Pleas Greenlee, Shelbyville—all claimed to have delegate slates in most of the 92 counties. Greenlee, ousted as patronage secretary to Gov. McNutt because he became a candidate against the

Governor's wishes, offered himself as a relief from “boss-ism.” Mr. McKinney, with the backing of United States Senator Frederick VanNuys, campaigned along the same lines. Townsend, considered McNutt's choice, was the target of both their attacks. A Federal investigator for the Works Progress Administration came to Indiana last week to probe VanNuys’ charges that relief money was being used to pack the state nominating convention in June with Townsend supporters. The result of an investigation has not yet been made public. The three guberatorial candidates also were leaders in the party organization fight. Precinct committeemen will elect their county chairmen May 9 and the district chairmen who will rule the party will be chosen May 13. Springer Is Prominent Republicans had more than half a dozen gubernatorial aspirants to consider as they chose delegates to their nomination convention, to be held here June 3. Outstanding among them were Raymond S. Springer. Connersville, the 1932 nominee; H. H. Evans, Newcastle, a State Representative, and Glen R. Hillis, Kokomo. Less vigorous campaigns were staged by Elza O. Rogers, Lebanon, former state party chairman; George R. Hillis, Michigan City; Clare W. H. Bangs, Huntington's utility-baiting Mayor, and Mayor Samuel Beecher, Terre Haute. The G. O. P. reorganization was based on accusations that present party leaders have allied themselves with Democratic officials. Wright Is Attacked Principal target in the attack was Burrell Wright, state treasurer. The Republican Editorial Association charged he was associated with Frank McHale, Democratic leader, in representing liquor interests and other legal matters. Ralph Gates, Columbia City, former state commander of the American Legion and a potential “darkhorse” candidate for Governor, was choice of the opposing group to succeed Don B. Irwin, Frankfort, as state chairman.

6-MEN WATCH BITTER FIGHTS AT SOUTH BEND St. Joseph Election Brings Fierce Campaign to Climax. By United Press SOUTH BEND, Ind., May s.—Department of Justice agents watched polis throughout St. Joseph County today as residents of the district voted in the primary election. Today's voting climaxed one of the most bitter campaigns in the county's history and one that was filled with intense factional strife in both major parties. Rudolph Ackerman, Third District chairman, and M. Edward Doran, county chairman, were rivals for control of the Democratic organization. They represent the Townsend and McKinney state gubernatorial movements, respectively. In the Republican Party, Lenn J. Oare, Third District chairman, and Edwin W. Hunter, county chairman, have waged bitter campaigns. Charges of alleged use of WPA funds for patronage and political purposes were brought during the campaigns. They were investigated by Senator Frederick VanNuys and Harry Hopkins, WPA administrator, HINT DRASTIC ACTION FOR PROTECTING FRANC French Government Discusses Measures to Save Money. By United Press PARIS, May s.—The French government today discussed drastic measures to protect the franc, which has been under pressure since the popular front victory in Sunday’s election. Marcel Reegnier, finance minister, it was understood, proposed that the cabinet invoke supervision -of exchange operations along lines of regulations in effect a year ago under similar conditions. Rumors circulated on the Bourse that the government might take “very drastic” measures.
