Republican Scores “State's Liquor Laws in Vigo Cotinty Talk.

BY LEO DAUGHERTY Times Staff Writer TERRE HAUTE, Ind. Oct. 30.— Judge Raymond S. Springer, G. O. P, gubernatorial candidate, left ¥igo County today, confident that he has battered down the Democratic majority against him four years ago of slightly more than 8100 votes. He was encouraged by the ovation given him last night by 3000 persons at a rally in the Indiana State Teachers’ College Auditorium and by reports from County Chairman Carl Pinson and other Re-1 publican leaders. The judge, nearing the end of a campaign which has taken him to almost every corner of the state, is scheduled to stop today at Valparaiso and ‘Elkhart for receptions, then a noon speech at South Bend in St. Joseph County and a night address on a program with Col. Frank Knox, Republican vice presidential candidate, at Gary in Lake County.

Declares Fry “Czar”

In his Terre Haute address, the Connersville attorney labeled as “czar,” Paul Fry, State Liquor Commission chairman, and declared that “we stand for home rule on the liquor question to discourage bootlegging and graft that is rampant under the present system.” Assailing the state’s liquor control system, Judge Springer declared that “we demand the repeal of the liquor regulation act and denounce the flagrant and scandalous misuse of official power in its administration and enforcement.” He continued that “political tribute and obnoxious graft abuses tend to bring high costs and high prices with encoyragement to the bootlegger.”

Declares Act “Vicious”

Judge Springer declared that “no party ever has espoused the home rule doctrine with greater persistance than the Democratic Party, but this year the Indiana Administration criticizes this plank. McNutt and Townsend oppose it because it is in the Republican platform and they know it is a direct challenge to the centralization of power which has been built up under the misnomer liquor control act.” “The present alcoholic beverage law as administered is the most vicious political legislation ever perraitted on our statute books,” the candidate continued. Judge Springer claimed that “books of the excise department are not open for inspection, but will be when I am elected.” He pledged himself to the Repub-

tial reductions in the gasoline tax and automobile license fees.” Judge Springer came here from Clinton in Vermillion County, where he renewed his assault on the gross income tax, which he termed “a sales tax which in some instances amounts to 25 per cent and exacts its toll from persons of every means in every walk of life.”

Senator Bennett

Critics of Social Security. Act

Challenges Republican Leaders to Come Out in Open on National Issues.

Aiming his attack at critics of the Social Security Act, Senator Bennett Champ Clark of Missouri today had challenged Republican leaders to “come out in the open on national issues.” He spoke last night at Cadle’ Tabernacle following a marching parade

organized by the Marion ‘County Democratic Committee. 16,000 people filled the tabernacle and more than 25,000 joined the parade. Claiming the issues in the election Tuesday to be the most important since the' Civil War, Senator Clark said voters had the choice of ‘continuing recovery or turning back to |

the leadership “of those oblivious to the needs of the common man.”

Blames G. O. P.

Senator Clark blamed previous Republican administrations for extravagance and inflationary policies. Inequality of taxation,

said, continued through three Republican terms, encouragasd speculation and destroyed public confidence. Terming the Smoot-Hawley tariff bill “indefensible and outrageous,” he claimed the result of frozen foreign trade was a paralysis of farm and industrial markets. “THe Social Security Act passed by the present Congress is the first definite attempt to- meet the general welfare problem of the nation,” the Senator said. “People who are putting notices of warning in pay envelopes do not trouble to point out that both employer and the government contribute to the growing fund. Few of-us are nof willing to give up $1 when we haye the certainty of getting $3 back.

Employer Profits

“The employer stands to profit as much from improved efficiency for fhe dollar he puts out as does the employe. The Republican Party during 12 ‘long years in undisputed control not only failed, but refused to consider social security. “In a frantic effort to hedge, the party suddenly declared for old-age pensions under a mythical system of matched appropriations from state and Federal governments,” he -said. Senator Clark criticised Republican leaders for what he called failure to warn or instruct the last Congress, while social security legislation was under discussion, “When Mr. John Hamilton slips insinuations into pay envelopes designed to reflect on the President of the United States, he is reflecting

_ An intervening petition against the Benjamin Harrison Life Insurance Co., which now is conducting

voluntary liquidation procédings with the State Insurance Department, was filed in Circuit Court today by Mrs. Carrie A. Beggs. . Mrs. Beggs lent officers ‘and organizers of the company $3000 for organization work in 1933 and the sum never was returned, the petition charged. In addition to requesting return of this money, the petition asked a subpena on all company records. Named by. the petition’ as officers ‘were Fred S. Purnell, president ant treasurer; Perry S. Ward, executive vice president and secretary; Raymond 8. Springer, former second vice president, and William B. Tilley, third vice president. Named as organizer was Frederick Schortemeier. Mr. Schortemeier denied the charge against him in a statement to The Indianapolis Times. +I never handled or received any money whatever, either directly or indirectly, in the entire undertaking,” he said. Mr. Springer, according to a liquidation petition filed several days ago by the attorney general's office, resigned his .post in the company Sept. 6. The state’s liquidation action declared the company had liabilities amounting to $2892 and assets totaling $340. Hearing on the intervening petition was set for this afternoon by Judge Earl R. Cox. A Circuit Court entry today stated the company had agreed to submit its assets to the state department for liquidation. Mr. Schortemeier's statement continued: “I did ‘perform some’ legal service for the company for which I never was paid. I did not advisé any person, including Mrs. Beggs, to invest a single dollar in the enterprise. | “I did assist Mr. Ward, her son, in legal matters relative to getting the company started, but m¥ only concefn was that of an attorney. I did not have any discussions with Mrs. Beggs about investing funds in the concern. Her son had charge of all finances. ”

‘Digest Poll - Five to Four|

(Continued from Page One)

nquncements of this year’s poll, the magazine's final statement of its poil results did not reduce them to electoral votes nor did it calculate the percentage of popular vote for each

However, the 32 states in whith Gov. Landon led in the Digest poll have 370 electoral votes. The 16 in which the President was ahead have 161. For election 266 electoral votes are necessary,

" 16:States Given Roosevelt

The states in which the Digest showed Mr. Roosevelt ahead were Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia; Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, ‘Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Caro-. lina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia. In all other states Gov. Landon led. In announcing its final returns, which differ strikingly with those of some other polls-that predict Mr. Roosevelt's re-election, the Digest commented: “Never before in an experience covering more than a quarter of a century in taking polls have we received so many different varieties. of criticism—praise from many; condemnation from many others—and yet it has been just of the same type that has come to us every time a poll has been taken in = these years.

No Claims Made

“Are the figures in this poll correct? We make no claims at this Yime for their absolute accuracy.

" The magazine said it ‘believed its Landon percentages in Massachusetts and Rhode Island were too high, but, “we feel both will be found in the Landon column.” Final tabulation showed the Roosevelt percentage increasing for the eighth consecutive week. The first report gave Landon 65 per cent of the popular vote cast, to 31 per cent for Roosevelt. Of the major party vote in. the final tabulation, Landon received slightly less than 57.1 per cent and Roosevelt a little more than 429 per cent. The Digest pointed out that 1,078,012 ballots were cast this time

by persons who voted for Hoover in

1932, and 1,020,010. by those who voted for Roosevelt. Thus, it. was noted, 58,02 more votes in the poll came from 1932 Hoover - supporters than from 1932 Roosevelt voters.
