~ G. O.P. Candidates Ready for Final Talks: Remy Calls Crime Disease of Society;

Sullivan to Make R

Myers’ Ambition Is to Be ‘Best Judge’; Markey Wins Praise.

Reginald H. Sullivan, seeking the Democratic mayoralty is to make his only public statements during the primary campaign in two radio addresses tonight. He is to speak over WIRE from 6 to 6:30 p. m. and over WFBM from 6:30 to T p. m. The Democratic County Committee is sponsoring these programs. Mayor Walter C. Boetcher and James E. Deery, City Attorney during Mr. Sullivan's former administration, also are to speak. Three speakers urged nomination of Mr. Sullivan in a radio address Saturday night. They were John E. Smith, former president of the Central Labor Union; Dr. Frank S. C.

Wicks, pastor of All Souls Unitarian |

Church, and Samuel E. Garrison,

attorney and former School Beard | : . : Re sel ’ jcovered evidence of false registra- | waged it with the one object of | public ownership because of the de-

member. Defends Sullivan's Position

Mr. Smith, commenting on a recent campaign charge that Mr. Sullivan had failed to repeal the antipicketing ordinance during former administration, said: “It is my recollection the question never came up in the campaign or later. “And if it had come up. can you imagine Reginald H. Sullivan with his understanding of city government, making such a promise? Who better than he would know that the passing or repeal of any ordinance is strictly up to the City Council? Would he had made a promise for nine men? That wouldn't be Reginald H. Sullivan.” He asserted that throughout the five vears of his term, Mr. Sullivan was fair to labor, and “that is all that labor asked of him.”

Dr. Wicks Lauds Sullivan

Dr. Wicks declared Mr. Sullivan's greatest achievement as Mayor was “restoration of faith and confidence in city government.” “He demonstrated that fine government is not beyond the people's reach. He dramatized the virtues.” He said that throughout the five years of the term the cynics watched, “vulture-like,” for graft and corruption to be laid bare. “But three years have passed and this man who the cynics said certainly would bring ruin upon himself, stands shining in the public eve. He served five years as Mayor of a big city and emerged a bigger man among his friends, a bigger man among those who had known him only casually.” Mr. Garrison praised Mr. Sullivan as a man of the “highest honor and integrity.” Myers Concludes Campaign

Dewey E. Myers ended his campaign for nomination for Criminal Court Judge by explaining that his ambition, if elected, is to be known as the “best Criminal Court Judge we ever had.” “There are only a few things the voters need to consider in selecting their candidate for the position. Among these are the questions as to whether a man has had the experience, legal training, the character and the record as a citizen necessary to highest conduct of this office. They want to know whether

the candidate is free from alliances |

that might make him unfit to sit in every case without prejudice “If I achieve my ambition to become judge of this court there will be no occasion for any defendant or for the prosecution to take a change of venue from my court. I believe in stiff penalties when guilt of vicious crimes has been established. I wil be consistent in my administration of justice.” Mr. Myers expressed appreciation for the “overwhelming vote of confidence given me in the recent poll taken by the Indianapolis Bar Association.” Two addresses were made Saturday night in behalf of Criminal Court Judge Frank P. Raker. Speaking at a meting at 1126 Linden St, County Attorney John F. Linder declared nomination of Judge Baker will add strength to the Democratic ticket next fall. Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch. onetime Democratic candidate for Governor, spoke for Judge Baker otVer WIRE. He said Judge Baker has “approached the crime problem with study and discrimination and has realized that the irresponsible youth

of our generation must understand | that crime demands adequate pun- | ishment.” | “Judge Baker deserves a renom- { ination,” Dr. McCulloch said. “All | citizens interested in crime prevention and crime cure will indorse | his past record.” | Perry H. Easton, candidate for | State Representative, declared that he believed precinct committeemen and ward chairmen will not yieid | to dictatorial domination at the | polis. “Those in control have declined to accept the wishes of the party organization,” he said.

Wolff Asks for Big Vote; Henry Declares for ‘Free’ Primary. Herman ©. Wolff, Republican candidate for Mayor, today asked

his workers to encourage a heavy attendance at the polls tomorrow.

That they have selected my chief opponent as their pawn in this movement, is incidental.” Speaking on the problem of relief, he said some persons had used | the miseries of unfortunates to play politics. Mr. Henry announced he will speak over WIRE at 7:30 o'clock to(night. His candidacy will be sup- | ported by five other speakers on (the half-hour program. They are Fae W.

Judge Joseph T. Markey, seeking renomination to Superior Court 1, {was indorsed by leaders at a meeting of the 20th Ward Democratic { Club. Hubert Hickam, former president of the Indianapolis Bar Association, {also urged Judge Markey's re-

| nomination on his past record, com- | menting that “he has proved he is possessed of fine, judicial tempera-

ment, and there has been no delay

| in the dispostion of the cases.” | © Others praising Judge Markey's | candidacy included Adolph Fritz, Indiana Federation of Labor secre- { tary, and Arthur W. Heidenreich, | former president of the State Flor- | ists’ Association. Robert M. Stith, a candidate for State Representative, said in a | statement today that he opposes | the diversion of revenue from gaso- | line taxes and automobile registra- | tion and license funds to other than { highway building purposes | He said he also favored changing {the date of issuing automobile {licenses from Jan. 1 to July 1. Richard O'Neil declared he would establish an efficient system if nominated and elected Center Township trustee.

Primaries to Be Held ‘In Three Other States

| WASHINGTON, May 2 (U. P.) — | Primaries will be held tomorrow in | : { Florida, South Dakota, Alabama {and Indiana. The only campaign | providing a clear test of New Deal | sentiment was in Florida. Florida Democrats will [morrow on five U, S. Senate candi- | dates, among them Senator Claude | Pepper, running for re-election > > » | with ‘President Roosevelt's approval. His chief opponents, Dave Sholtz. Governor, and Rep. Mark | Wilcox, are but erratic supporters of the New Deal. The primary therefore was regarded as the first {direct test of the Administration's prestige since it suffered reverses in the current Congress. Senator Pepper campaigned as a | “100 per cent” New Dealer. Mr | Sholtz and Rep. Wilcox called him a “rubber stamp” Senator. Both | said that if they were elected they {would vote their own convictions. {| Rep. Wilcox voted against the Ad- | ministration on the Supreme Court i . 2 jand Government Reorganization | Bills in the House.

voters have an opportunity in this|

primary to do their party a service | by appearing at the polls in num- | bers that will reveal the switch in sentiment that now is taking place { here as well as in other parts of the country. | Urges Orderly Election

“I know you will all do your part | to see that the windup of our cam- | paign at the polls will find the larg- | est possible number of Republican | voters casting their ballots, and that {you will use every effort to see that [activities at the polls are conducted {in a clean, orderly manner.” In the final address of his May- | oraity campaign, Mr. Teckemeyer {sald the campaign has been con- | ducted free from rancor and discord and commented that elections couid be won without machines and [money and bull-dozing if the citi- | zenry became aroused over condi- | tions as deplorable as exist in In- { dianapolis today.” “Our primary election is at hand.” {he said, “although it is not an ideal { method it is the best we have and provides the opportunity of our citi- { zens to express their own wiil in se- | lecting the men to govern their city.

Henry Attacks “Machine”

Attempts are being made “to saddle” a machine on Marion County Republicans, Mr. Henry declared in a speech as a mayoralty candidate over WIRE vesterday. He will conclude his campaign with a talk this afternoon. “The corruptness of the political machine that greedily gorges itself on its spoils in Marion County and Indiana today needs no exposition | by me,” he said. “The constant attempts to saddle onto our party an equally vicious | machine is presently apparent in | this primary. The moving forces in this effort cannot have the in-

| general good of our party and city at heart. “They can only have the desire

Seidensticker’s Job 'Debated in Capital

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, May 2.—Senator VanNuys' independent candidacy | for re-election may cause the ouster of Adolph Seidensticker from the Indianapolis postmastership, it was learned today. Mr. Seidensticker's present appointment expires next month. | Originally selected by { VanNuys, Mr. Seidensticker already [ has been indorsed for reappoint- | ment by the senior Senator. But he has not received the in- | dorsement of Senator Minton. al- { though Senator VanNuys has asked for it. “Since Senator VanNuys doesn't intend to seek renomination in the party convention in Indiana, I cannot indorse his candidate for postmaster at Indianapolis,” Senator Minton declared. “Of course if the Democratic Congressmen from the Indianapolis district want Mr. Seidensticker that will be all right with me. In fact I let Congressman Boehne name the postmaster in my home town at New Albany and didn’t ask Senator VanNuys to back any selection I might make.” Whether Reps. Ludlow and Lar- | rabee will recommend Mr. Seidensticker for reappointment has not | yet been decided. Senator Minton said he expects to confer with them regarding it. “Although that is the only postoffice in my district, I was never { consulted about the Indianapolis appointment in the first place,” Rep. Ludlow said. “It is a surprise to me to learn that I am to be consulted now, “I have received several letters recently asking me to indorse Mr. Seidensticker and I merely answered that this was Senator VanNuys’ business. So far as I know he is a good Democrat and always has been.”

With the Methodist Minister's Association we pledge Governor Townsend our whole-hearted moral support if he will lead us in a movement to enforce the laws against the open gambling to be found everywhere in the State. “We can think of but two possible reasons why the Governor should refuse this request which has twice been made to him.

This time the circus has selected Mother's Day. “We protest to the City Administration the desecration of the sacred days of the year for such performances. The church is not asking for blue laws, we ask only an opportunity to bring our message of soul culture and character building to the attention of the people, especially the youth. Crime and lawlessness cannot be curbed without a program of character building, The church and the church school are the leading institutions which are attempting to perform this task for the community. “To us it seems only just that we have a fair chance to reach the youth with this program which is so vitally important to the life of our whole community.

the Juvenile Court Committee issued a formal statement of its purposes, The committee, a citizens’ group, is supporting two candidates for Juvenile Court judge—Municipal Court Judge Wilfred Bradshaw, Democrat, and William H. Remy, Republican,

Consents from 26 per cent of the candidates had been filed for at-torneys-in-fact who may name watchers at the polls tomorrow. Sidney A. Horn filed as attorney for candidates aligned with the Ma{chine Busters Inc., and Roy L. Volstad filed consents from a group of Republican candidates. The watchers’ names were expected to be filed later today. The State Election Board ruled recently that consents must be obtained from 26 per cent of the total of candidates and delegates combined before attorneys-in-fact could file. The consents today, however, ‘were accepted on a basis of 26 per cent of the candidates only, Glenn B. Ralston, County Clerk, said.

Polls Open From 6 to 6

The polls will be open from 6 a. m. until 6 p. m. tomorrow. Tab|ulation of the vote will be started [by the various precinct boards im- | mediately after the polls close. The State House, Court House {and City Hall and all banks and | financial institutions will be closed all day tomorrow. Liquor sales are forbidden during the hours the polls |are open, under the election laws. Chief Morrissey announced that | all City policemen will work extra hours tomorrow to provide adequate protection to voters at polling places and to maintain the school details at dangerous street intersections. “Police will be ready to meet any emergency,” he said. “All voting places will be policed adequately land protection given to election workers and citizens. “The number of men assigned to the radio cars will not be reduced.” Approximately 3000 Democrats

precinct boards tomorrow were given final instructions and supplies yesterday afternoon at Tomlinson Hall The election inspectors were sworn by Charles R. Ettinger, chief deputy County Clerk and election supervisor. He also issued instruc-

and sheriffs. Mr. Ettinger sal® (there had been no last-minute changes in polling places. A heavy vote may result in many { precinct boards finding they have an inadequate number of voting booths, he told the board members, adding they would have to get along “as best you can” during the rush periods, since there are no more booths available. Walter Myers, attorney, addressed the group and urged the utmost | fairness in conducting the voting. “Because this primary will undoubtedly be one of the most spir[ited in years,” he said, “we must | be even more vigilant that the elec[tion be conducted on a clean, fair | basis,” he said. “Each of you must remember that (supporters of the other candidates | are just as sincere and just as hon(orable in their intentions.” He urged the workers to “guard no act of yours can be con-

The restraining order was issued by Royal A. Nicholas, judge pro tem. in Superior Court 3, on petition of Andrew Jacobs, Democratic candidate for Prosecutor. Mr. Nicholas, Superior Court Judges Joseph R. Williams and Clarence E, Weir, and Sheriff Ray filed the motion to quash the Supreme Court writ. Meanwhile, the County Election Commissioners were emphatic in declaring that they intend to make sure of an honest election.

Ray Attacks Party Heads

The major campaign barrage against the Democratic organization, which is backing Reginald H. Sullivan for the mayorlty nomination, came from Sheriff Ray. While none of the Democratic organization candidates have appeared at large public meetings, the Sheriff formed Machine Busters, Inc., and denounced party leaders. Herman C. Wolff is reputed to have the backing of a majority of the active G. O. P. workers. Defeat for either Mr. Wolff or Mr. Sullivan would be regarded as an organization upset. Other Republican mayoralty candidates are George A. Henry, Ward B. Hiner and Earl B. Teckemeyer. Glenn W. Funk, Mr. Henry's campaign manager, today predicted Mr. Henry would be nominated by a plurality of 5000. “For the past two weeks,” he said, “there has been a steady and growing trend toward George Henry for Mayor. “I predict that he will carry Washington Township, get an -even break on the East Side and carry the West Side 3 to 2. On the

and Republicans who will serve on |S0uth Side he will win by a 3 to 1,

over his closest opponent.” Edward O. Snethen is the third Democrat seeking the mayoralty nomination. Chairmen to Retire The precinct committeemen and vice committeewomen elected toSaturday to elect county organization officers. Mr. Clauer and Mr. Schortemeier, have announced they plan to retire as chairmen shortly after the primary.

Competing for the Republican nomination for 11th District Cone gressman are Keith Canan, Indiane apolis, and William O. Nelson, Ane derson. Contests for the Democratie nominations for various county of= fices have been particularly keen. Much interest has centered around the Criminal Court judgeship.

Mr, Barneclo said Courtney Hammond, C. L. U. president, joined him in the statement,

Committee's Statement The Juvenile Court Committee's statement follows in full: “The Juvenile Court Committee, a citizens’ group, urges that all voters give attention and care in the primary election to the selection of candidates on both tickets for Judge of Juvenile Court. “The committee started work seve eral months ago to focus public ate tention on this court. Cvic-minded citizens, believing that the average voter was not aware of the vast ime portance of the court, banded to= gether to carry on an educational program and to encourage men of high caliber to make the race. It is significant that more than 90 organizations interested primarily in the welfare of the home and of children have indorsed the com mittee's program, “After careful consideration the Committee agreed to indorse the candidacy of Wilfred Bradshaw in the Democratic primary and of Wile liam H. Remy in the Republican primary. Under the law this was the only way the Committee's pro gram could be made to obtain direct and tangible results. Seeks to Raise Standards “The Committee as a group has no interest in the success of one political party over another, Its only objective is the raising of the stand« ards of the Court which each year molds the lives of more than 1000 children. The Committee has studied the operations of juvenile courts throughout the country. This study has shown that high-grade courts are salvaging an overwhelming mae jority of defendants and starting them on the road to good citizen ship. Courts presided over by mis= fit judges, on the other hand, are driving children into more and more serious offenses, “The Committee is convinced that if every voter who goes to the polls tomorrow makes it a point to vote for this office, the success of tha organization's program is assured.”
