RAY MAY RUN FORMAYOR ON | MANAGER PLEA

Agrees With Boetcher That City Needs Businessman; Cites Own Record.

Sheriff Ray today said he agreed with Mayor Boetcher that the Mavor's office should be filled by a businessman and declared that he (Sheriff Ray) has been successful in business since 1923. He added he did not believe an attorney should have the job after Mavor Boetcher's term expires and he believed Indianapolis attorneys felt the same way about it. | Sheriff Ray was commenting on the statement of Mayor Boetcher vesterday that he would not be a

candidate for nomination as Mayor next term because "18 montis of it 1s enough for me.” Sheriff Ray also announced that | he favored the city manager form of government,

‘Thinking Seriously’ of It The Sheriff said he was “thinking seriously of running for Mayor,” but had not decided whether he would run in the primaries as a candidate for the Democratic nomination or on a fusion ticket or for election as an independent. “But however I run,” he said, “if I am elected my administration will

be along the lines of a city manager and my administration will do everything in its power to have a city manager form of government! follow it immediately into office. | “Under the present bipartisan form of government as it is in Indianapolis, the Republican leadership is satisfied with minority patronage and is practically dictated to by the Democrats in power. Thus there is no militant minority, but only a subservient one; one that does not make for efficient government. “TI agree with Mavor Boetcher that a businessman should go into the office of Mavor. But I believe that he should be a businessman who has had experience in public life. I think a businessman who went into the office of Mayor with no previous experience in public life probably would bo lost in the office. |

Sees Danger in Present Form

| “He would be surrounded by persons who had had habitual political experience. Anyone unused to public | life and not realizing that it is the job of a Mayor to go into problems, | even as minute as the placing traffic signals and the making of | traffic regulations, would have to] rely wholly on the advice of heads | of departments, appointed through | politics, under the present system | of city government. ! “Because, for instance, changes in policy in traffic regulations, the uation is muddled. The drives doesn't have an opportunity | to know what is right and what is| wrong, and because of that he gets | arrested. “Moreover, if and when I run for | the office, I will have no fetters on me. When I ran for sheriff I wes approached before election factions from both political RHE] who tried to make me promise] certain appointments here and there. | | “If and when I am elected Mayor, | T will owe nothing to any political | party or faction and will make my appointments in the interest of | efficient government. |

Cites Business Experience |

“Whomever the Democratic machine runs, that candidate will have already promised appointments to the machine and will not be a free agent. If he is elected, the only office that will change hands is the office of Mavor. There will be no change in policy, no material change in personnel” Sheriff Rav said he has operated | the Spencer House Restaurant, 248 S. Illinois St., since a year ago last] May; Wanner Tailors, Inc, 220 Mas- | sachusetts Ave. for four years, and | Telsto Water Co. 331 S, East St, | since 1923.
