Declares He Will Not Lét ‘Few Leaders’ Take Over Democratic Party.

By DANIEL KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, March 4—Senator VanNuys;will return to Indianapolis for “personal political conferences” about the middle of next

“| week, he announced today.

The exact date will depend upon his state of health, he said. . For the first time in a week, Senator VanNuys was able to attend the Senate session yesterday.

‘| dianapolis next week, with the doc- | tor’s permission,” he said.

“I expect to establish headquarters at the Spink-Arms Hotel and receive personal reports from my political lieutenants regarding the response to my mail campaign for reelection. “We very likely will decide at that time whether I shall try to get convention delegates and seek renomination on the Democratic ticket or run as an Independent. Whatever is decided, I want to repeat again that I shall be a candidate for re-election to the Senate.” Plans ‘Fighting Campaign’ Should he run independently, Senator VanNuys will conduct a “vigorous campaign,” he said. “I have no intention of letting a few leaders take over the Democrat Party for their own purposes,” the Senator declared. “I expect to conduct a fighting campaign against them and have ample ammunition to use at the proper time.” Senator VanNuys expressed enthusiasm over the response to his letter asking for a ‘Committee of 100,000” to support his re-election. His office reports more than 8000 signed pledge cards have been returned. “About 1 per cent of the replies are from persons who are afraid to sign their names because of reprisals,” Senator VanNuys said. ‘But they often add long lists of names of persong they have contacted who Pledge | their support.”
