tween the great groups of our citizens. Other mayoralty candidates in this campaign completely have _ ignored the problem. I propose to do something about it. «1f I am elected your Mayor, I propose that there shall be created immediately a labor peace board, composed of three members selected by labor, three by industry, three by the administration to represent the general public, and the Mayor, him

self. “The duty of this board of 10 shall be to arbitrate immediately, speedily and impartially any differences that may arise in our community between capital and labor, to the end that there at no time be any unemployment in Indianapolis because of some dispute over an hourly wage. Unemployment is far too widespread now to add to its stupendous toll by strikes and - Jockouts. : ! Serve Without Pay

“This board shall serve without pay, except for any expenses that might be incurred in investigating and determining the proper outcome of labor disputes. “The workability of such a plan is unquestionable. An outstanding example is given us by a large Ohio town which, for months, was torn by dissension, strikes and lockouts. This city was one of the hardest hit of all towns in the country by a vicious labor problem. “After the peace board plan was installed, this city almost immediately calmed down, and it has now no difficulty of any character in its labor field. . “The peace board plan for labor is my answer to what will be done in this community if I am chosen your chief executive. And, I assure you this: “That the Mayor himself will be an active, moving force in such a committee; he will not shirk his responsibility and hide behind excuses, alibis and technicalities. “Some persons might say that this plan is now in operation with the State Labor Conciliation Department. Such a statement is an evasion. The State department has the entire field of Indiana to serve. It cannot under any circumstances give the proper attention to a presing labor problem that might arise in our City on a moments noce. “On such an occasion, the State board may have its hands full elsewhere in the State with an investigation of another city’s problem. A labor crisis needs prompt attention, and the further duty of a local board should be to prevent at all - times the occurrence of a crisis.” A meeting of the Fountain Square Henry-for-Mayor Club will be held at 8 o'clock tonight at McClain’s Hall, Hoyt St. and State Ave. Principal speakers will be Fae W. Patrick, president of the Henry-for-Mayor Clubs, and Delbert O. Wilmeth. Mr. Henry will attend the meeting.

Up to City’s Voters

Mr. Teckemeyer said Indianapolis’ citizens are entitled only to a brand of governmental management as good as the brand they vote for at primary elections. “It is possible,” he said, “to cut the tax rate, reduce waste and mismanagement, eliminate unnecessary expense and keep costs at a low level, but that can only be done by officials who' have nothing but that as their foremost policy. “Office holders, gaining power by virtue of political machines built on the spoils system, cannot hope to have a free hand and a free conscience in spending the taxpayers’ money. Too many others must be taken into consideration as a reward for their blind allegiance to a cut-and-dried slate. : ; “On the other hand, men elected by the people can be guided by the dictates of their own hearts and minds in managing the city’s affairs. Is there any need for five or six men riding a City truck to repair a chuck hole that two men could attend to? - Of course not! “Need we have a parade of precinct and ward workers trailing after every ash and garbage wagon, pretending to work? Of course not!

Waste Should Be Stopped

“Need our municipal and county buildings be crowded with employees anxiously trying. to appear busy when that is a task beyond accomplishment considering the huge niimber who are assigned to the task? Certainly not!

“An honest, sane, business manager would stop all that monkey business in a minute. And it could be stopped, make no mistake about that. If the citizens of Indianapolis want it stopped let them vote for men who are not tied to any group or clique; who are pledged to nothing but a cleaning up of conditions which exist.

“That is what I am pledged lo and that is what I will be able to carry out, if nominated and elected because every one of the businessmen, home owners and citizens who are backing my efforts are doing so because ‘they realize that a swift return to sanity and reason is imperative, and not because they want 3 8 0 '. . “They all have jobs, and homes

and business—something at stake and something which is being ruthlessly destroyed by this present nonsense which we call our city government.” In addressing the Wolff - for - Mayor Clubs, Mr. Thurman said Republicans should nominate the best: available candidate for Mayor because of a “rapidly growing political sentiment in. favor of supplanting the extravagant New Dealers of National, State, County and City Governments.”

New Deal Discredited

“In Indianapolis,” he said, “there are thousands of citizens, Democrats as well as Republicans, who are of the honest conviction that the New Dealers are rank failures in running this Government, from Washington down to Center Township, and these citizens are going to vote the Republican ticket this fall if we nominate candidates in whom they have confidence. “Herman C. Wolff will make a candidate for Mayor in whom the

‘voters of the ‘city can have faith.

He is the kind of citizen needed to head the Government of our city. He is intelligent, honest, courageous and sympathetic. “The time has come when municipal government in Indiana should be divorced from strictly partisan politics. Neither of the two major political parties has a trademarked formula for operating a municipality. “Herman Wolff is not a politician in the commonly accepted sense. In national and state politics he js a Republican, but when it comes to municipal government he believes in the city manager plan. “It is the duty of the citizens of Indianapolis to give more careful thought to the selection of capable public officials. In times of trial and travail the demagog appears and fans the fires of discontent, while sober minded men and women are earnestly endeavoring to solve economic problems to restore better times.

Conservative Leader

“Mr. Wolff will follow no flighty course and, if nominated and elected Mayor, he will so conduct the affairs of the city of Indianapolis that all who vote for him will be proud of the fact. “The candidacy of Herman C. Wolff afford the voters of Indianapolis the opportunity of selecting a real manager of the affairs of the civil city of Indianapolis for four years.” In urging the nomination of Mr. Richardson as Prosecutor, Mr. Shotwell said: “The office of Prosecuting Attorney calls for ability, fearlessness and

the impaktial performance of the

duties of that office. After all, the prosecution of law violators, without respect to position, the wealth or poverty of the persons involved, race or creed, will best satisfy every section of this community. This can

only be done by one who is not}

hamstrung by commitments or promises to any individual. “Mr. Richardson is free from any obligation other than to the community at large and he may be counted upon, in its interests, to enforce the laws so that every citizen, regardless of his personal place in the community, may be sure that he will be protected to the extent to which the office of Prosecuting Attorney can go in enforcing laws intended. for the protection of himself and his family and the security of life and property.”

Pledges War on Crime

Edwin Haerle, candidate for Prosecutor, declared that, if elected, he would conduct the prosecution of criminal cases vigorously and, when crimes of violence were involved, would demand the maximum sentences. He spoke last night at the Hawthorne Community House. “It is the Prosecutors’ duty to prepare evidence and conduct the prosecution of criminal cases in such a manner that those guilty of crime

Democrats, G. 0. P. Disagree on Some Things, Agree on Others.:

By Science Service ADISON, Wis, April 22.— Democrats and Republicans may be diametrically opposed in some matters, but they agree on others, Dr. Ross Stagner of the University of Akron found from a survey reported here today to the Midwestern Psychological Association. When 50 men and 50 women in--dicated like or dislike for certain terms such as “Democrat” or “Republican” and also their opinions of problems of social and political importance, it was revealed that particular brands of politics are related to certain opinions. Republicans are likely to hold antilabor opinions and be opposed to unemployment insurance, for example, while Denfocrats tend in the opposite direction. Yet both are likely to agree on opinions of nationalist sentiment, Dr. Stagner found.

Mr. Mendenhall said he was qualified for the judicial post because of his experience as a State Legislator and as a practicing attorney for a quarter century. He pledged that all cases would be tried fairly and impartially, upon the law and evidence, irrespective of the parties involved. The Oliver P. Morton Republican Club will meet at 8 o'clock tonight

He can’t do anything else but admit he got a square deal then.” ; ok ; Discussing his program for the Sheriff’s office, Mr. Feeney, former State Safety Director, said: «I will give immediate consideration to the possibility of obtaining two-way police radio for the Marion County patrol and will use other up-to-the-minute crime fighting equipment. My endeavor will be to keep the county highways and byways safe by making them unsaie for drunken and reckless drivers

and for criminals.

“If clected Sheriff ,of Marion

County, I will continue the policy 1 followed as State ‘Director of Public Safety and give rural districts as efficient a system of police protection as possible.” Mr. Schlosser urged the voters to “yote your convictions in the primary and don’t let the bosses dictate to you.” “For the past four months,” he said, “five individuals, without authority to do so, have been preparing a slate of candidates to be put out on primary day. “This slate is supposed to come from the Marion County Democratic Committee, but the ward chairmen and vice chairwomen have not been consulted.

Condemns Bosses

“Real Democrats seemingly are not to have a voice in the selection and nomination of Democratic candidates. This attempt on the part of these bosses to disfranchise the Democratic voters of Marion County is vicious and un-American. “Loyal Democrats object to these Republicans who have switched to the Democratic party in order to capture, control and use the party for their own advancement. “I have fought for the Democratic party for 40 years and propose to lead the Democrats in the fall in

Then you will be sure of selecting candidates not dominated by the bosses.” Judge Williams commented that his opponent had not attended any meetings and said that this was voiding the purpose of the primary election, which he said was to allow the voters to hear views of all candidates. . : “The courts must be kept. independent and free from any possible | criticism. that they belong to any certain clique,” Judge Williams said; “It is vital that the courts be unsullied by any boss influence and to do this we must let the people select the judges—not any machine oiganization.” -

‘Keep Court on High Plane’

Mr. Myers promised that, if elected, he would keep the Criminal Court “on a high plane on which every defendant and every attorney will be given a fair chance.” Mr. O'Neill, declaring prejudice has no place in any public office, least - of all. in the judgeship © Criminal Court, said: : “The Criminal Court judge must be unswerving in his determination to mete out justice to fit the crime, but he also must be fair, treating every defendant according to the merits of his defense. “I have been in close contact with Mr. Myers during my term as City Clerk. I have had occasion to observe his conduct of Municipal Court and in that way increased the respect I formed for him when we became friends many years ago. In my opinion, he is the outstand-

judge of Criminal Court. +
