WITH FIRM HAND

Governor Considered Strong Candidate for 1940 Presidential Race.

(Fourth of u Series) BY ALLEN DIBBLE United Press Staff Correspondent The off-stage political activities of , McNutt are attached as

closely to his administration as his |

rapid-fire legislative action and his fisdal policies. Considered a formidable candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1940, the retiring Governor has fabricated one of the most powerrul political machines in the state’s history.

Added to his striking personality and abilities as a leader, the Gov~ernor has had able assistance from the Hoosier Democratic “Two Per ‘Cent Club” and the Reorganization Act passed by the Seventy-eighth General Assembly. ~The “Two Per Cent Club” gave the state party leader funds with which to campaign in the state and the Reorganization Act centralized control of the administration with the Governor, i

Rumbles of Feud

There had been rumblings of a feud between McNutt and Peters, - the source of which was found in “the 1932 National Democratic Convention. McNutt, and his advisers © had decided to play Indiana as a ‘pivotal state and distribute its 20 ~ delegates until a bandwagon actually

' was started. Peters reportedly played a lone hand and shopped among the candidates. After the convention smoke had cleared, Indiana politicians found Peters had the ear of James A. Farley, national Democratic chairman and Roosevelt campaign manager, as result of a reported final deliverance of the Hoosier vote by the former state chairman. McNutt and the others found . their relations with Farley strained. The Governor denied emphatically that Peters had delivered the Indiana vote and contended the state had given Roosevelt a majority on each of the three ballots leading to the bandwagon movement.

Heals Party Wounds

Peters resigned on Nov. 14, 1933, as state chairman to enter the senatorial race. Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch was rushed into the state

chairmanship by cNutt to heal party wounds. Just! prior to the state convention in 1934, Omer Stokes Jackson took up the cudgel for the administration, relieving Dr. McCulloch as chairman. Waiting until virtually the eve of the state convention, the Governor named as the administration’s senatorial favorite Sherman Minton, Public Service Commission public counselor. Senator Frederick Van Nuys, previously outspoken against the patronage principles of Pleas E. Greenlee, the Governor's secretary, placed Reginald Sullivan, former Indianapolis Mayor, in the field. Minton won on the fourth ballot against a field of seven and faced Arthur R. Robinson, Republican incumbhent, in the fall election. Although not a candidate, the Governor defended his administration vigorously. Minton won the election. Meanwhile, patronage dispensed over a counter at the Statehouse drew increased opposition. Greenlee made the wholesale replacement necessary with the changing of ad- ~ ministrations and continued to build up the -party machine by displacing insurgents.

-Legislates Job Out

i One of his chief feuds was with Al Feeney, appointed safety director as a peace offering to Senator Van Nuys. Feeney made most of his answers through the newspapers, bringing the fight before the public.

After both principals had been scolded by McNutt for airing their troubles before the public, the Governor legislated Feeney’s position out of existence, Major factions of the state Democratic Party lined up again at the | convention in this spring. Although - henever gave a formal indorsement, the candidacy of Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend for the gubernatorial nomination was known to carry McNutt's approval, Van Nuys entered the fray again with E. Kirk McKinney, Indiana Home Owners Loan Corp. head, as his candidate. = Minton returned from Washington to support the candidacy of Pleas E. Greenlee, who was fired from the administration with announcement of his candi-

dacy. , It took McNutt only one ballot to demonstrate his supremacy at the convention. Marion County held up the convention nearly a half hour, . but split its vote previously pledged to McKinney and shoved the Townsend bandwagon down victory hill.

He cited savings to municipalities by virtue of the tax appeal system. He said that approximately $80,000,000 had been saved under Indiana laws providing for appeal to the State Tax Board. Fred R. Stewart, California State Tax Board of Equilization member, told association members that tax administration must be adopted to modern conditions if it is to meet
