Minor Parties in Field

With full tickets in the field for the two major parties, the only one | of three minor parties with a com- | plete slate of offices in Marion County is the Socialist Party. The Union Party of Indiana, Inc. | places its presidential electors and | two candidates for Congress be- | fore county voters while the Communist party asks only ballots for | their presidential nominee, Earl Browder. William Lemke is the | presidential candidate of the Union | Party. Norman Thomas is the] presidential nominee of the So-] cialist Party. ~ Election interest, besides being heightened by the national campaign and the variance in straw ‘yotes that gave Indiana first to ‘he Republicans and then to the Democrats, also centers around whether the labor vote will go solidly for the Democratic party and if the

Five Indianapolis ministers—the

Rev. 8S. Grundy Fisher, the Rev. C. Johnson, the Rev. George O. Kimsey and the Rev. S. W. Hartsock— all urged their congregations to go to the polls tomorrow and vote their political beliefs. Other pastors also spoke on tomorrow’s election and urged participation by every legally registered voter. Speakers are to make last-minute radio pleas tonight. Ward and precinct meetings are to be held with radio parties given for “listen-ing-in” on the short addresses by Alfred M. Landon and President Roosevelt, which are to be broadcast tonight. The Democratic state campaign, seeking election of Mr. Townsend,

{ has been based on defending the

gross income tax and the administration of Gov. McNutt. Both Mr. Townsend and the Governor traveled thousands of miles attacking the Republican Party for alleged failure to provide a way in which revenue could be obtained to supplant the gross income tax. Mr. Springer, Connersville attorney» and former judge, has scored the McNutt administration in his campaign for election. The Lan-don-Knox Clubs have borne the brunt of carrying Landon’s claims for the state's electoral vote.

U. S. Issues to Fore

In Marion County, the Democratic county ticket has in the main been satisfied to be introduced at political nmieetings while other speakers approved the national Administration. In turn, the Republican county candidates dwelt on national issues. In the congressional districts, the Democrats believe they .will win nine with close battles expected in the Second, Sixth and Tenth districts. . Republican leaders, however, predict victory in the Third District, and with a Landon landslide to carry other districts.

‘Union Party Interest

The Union Party is not advocating the election or defeat of any

| Republican or Democratic state or

county candidate, Glenn I. Barr, national headquarters state representative, announced today. “The Union Party is not interested in election of any candidates other than Mr. Lemke for President and those running. for Congress on the Union Party ticket,” he said. “Certain politicians are circulating rumors to the contrary,” he added.

Voting Machine Keys to Be Held Equally by G. O. P., Democrats

Election Commissioners Compromise on Demand Made by "Republican County Chairman.

Keys to Marion County voting

machines are to be equally divided

between election workers of the Republican and Democratic parties, the Democratic county election commissioners, David M. Lewis and Glenn B. Ralston, decided in a compromise move this afternoon. The decision came after Frederick E. Shortemeier, G. O. P. county

chairman, made a formal demand original order made yesterday at a meeting of precinct board workers. . By that order the Democratic poll judges were to hold both keys, it was said.

Statement Is Issued

Complete statement of the Democratic commissioners follows: “Notwithstanding the fact that

the election laws do not require either one of the voting machine keys, numbered 2 and 3, to be given the poll judge of a minority party, and notwithstanding the fact that the Republicans, when they were in power did not follow such a procedure, the Democratic election commissioners are pleased to announce to the voters of Marion County that they will instruct Democratic inspectors to turn over key No. 3 to the Republican judge in each precinct at 5:30 a. m. election morning.” Rae Powell, Republican county election commissioner, did not. sign the statement.

Voting Check Possible

It was explained that key No. 3 opens the back of the machine, allowing a party worker to see how the

voting ‘is going at any particular time. It can not be used, however, until the machine has been locked. Key No. 2 must be used to lock

.the machine, and in order to look

into the back, all voting on a machine must be stopped. According to Deputy Clerk Charles Ettinger, the keys which actually change the numbers and put the dials back to zero are to be locked in County Auditor Charles A. Grossart’s office tomorrow. “No party worker, either Republican or Democrat, is to have access to one of these keys,” he said.

Board Gives Instructions

At the meeting yesterday in Tomlinson Hall, the County Election Board gave final instructions to precinct workers and appointed 30 deputy election commissioners to assist the board in investigation of complaints of fraud at polling places. ‘ ' The deputy commissioners, 15 Republicans and the same number of Democrats, are to be stationed at the Courthouse all day tomorrow. When a complaint is received, one Democrat and one Republican are to be assigned to investigate and report to the board. Board members warned precinct workers that every effort should be made to guard against irregularities and guarantee an honest election.

PEACE PETITION 70 BE SOUGHT

Committee to Ask Voters to Give Names at Polls Tomorrow.

The Indiana committee of the “People’s Mandate to End War” has completed plans for obtaining’ at the polls tomorrow its quota of names of citizens interested in promoting world peace. The state committee, of which Miss Violet Muse, 287 Downey-av, is chairman, is to have workers in the vicinity of voting places to obtain the signatures. According to Miss Muse, the petitions signed by Americans and those from 50 other nations will be presented before the Inter-American Conference for Maintenance of Peace at Buenos Aires, Dec. 1. She said. 100 organizations in the United States are co-operating in obtaining signatures.

Committee efforts for the West- :

ern Hemisphere, she said, are to demand action on three counts: an inter-American treaty for immediate armament reduction; use of existing peace machinery to settle present conflicts; and smoother economic relations which would foster real “good neighbor” relations be-1 tween American republics. Besides Miss Muse, the Indiana committee includes Mrs. Vernon Parker, Mrs. H. E. Barnard, Mrs. R. E. Schultz, Miss Ethel Moore and Mrs. Fred Dickens.
