Archie Bobbitt, New State Chairman, Asks ‘Good Candidates.’

By WILLIAM L. FORTUNE “I have only one purpose in| mind—that is te build up a| vigorous minority party in Indiana.” With this statement, smiling, affable, young Archie N. Bobbitt today assumed his] duties as State Republican chairman.

The 42-year-old Indianapolis at- |

torney and former State Auditor was elected by a unanimous State Committee vote after a 48-hour battle which veteran Republicans said was unprecedented in its intensity. At the same time, Will Irwin, Co-

lumbus banker, was named national |

committeeman, “We are going to try to pick up | the loose ends and strengthen the | party in preparation for 1938,” the energetic new G. O. P. leader continued. “That is our general policy. We are not interested in personalities. What we want are good candidates.

Thomas R. Hutson, State Labor | Commissioner, said today he will confer with Governor Townsend Monday in regard to accepting or rejecting an offer to take Edward F. McGrady's place in the U. S.

If you happen to touch the vicinity of Minneapolrs, better yank it away quickly to escape a scorching. Because that's where Minnesota is doing battle with Notre Dame. With Notre Dame away and Indiana at Lincoln battling Nebraska, the Hoosier spotlight was shared by the Purdue-Iowa clash at Lafayette and the renewal of But-ler-DePauw rivalry at Greencastle. Other Midwest games brought together Wisconsin and Northwestern at Madison and Ohio State and Chicago at Chicago.

Santa Clara at Chicago

Illinois hoped for the best in a home-coming game with Michigan. At Soldiers’ Field, Santa Clara's undefeated, untied eleven battled Marquette in a benefit game. In the East, Dartmouth battled Yale at New Haven, Conn. in what many regard as the outstanding game of the day. Harvard tackled Princeton and Holy Cross hoped to trample Temple and so maintain its perfect record. Fordham journeyed to North Carolina to grab the Dixie spotlight. The California U, C., L.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30 (U.

Mrs. Guggenheim, recently divorced from Col. M. Robert Guggenheim, and her escort, John Fry Jr. reported they were assaulted as they sat in an automobile by thieves who escaped with about $460. Mrs. Bessie Upjohn, a member of the party, related this version in a conversation with an investigator from the Queens District Attorney's office.

Police Radio and Fast Cars Make 1937 Haunting Risky Business;

It’s a Great Comedown From Days When Officers Rode Bicycles

After that came general installation of private phones; acceptance of the auto; the motorcycle—all of them thorns in the sides of the ghosts, so to speak. The final blow was the police radio, which practically enables police to anticipate a gate theft and be there sitting on it when the little fellows arrive. That type of Halloween fun—the gate and porch furniture games and the even more

serious pranks that can be classed

as vandalism—is on the way out, they say. It now is the police who haunt Halloween, not Halloween that haunts police. But the old timers still have a few haunts stored away like love letters done in lavender ribbon, and out they bring them for old time's sake on Halloween eve.
