At, his office it was claimed that many complaints had been received of candidates for precinct committeemen “running in and out of voiing places,” sample ballots jerked from the hands of voters, and other misconduct.
Police Follow Ray
Sheriff Ray, in his dual capacity | as Sheriff and Democratic mayoralty candidate, spent the morning | rushing from voting place to vot-| ing place, checking: on reports of| trouble phoned by his campaign | workers. | On his rounds, the Sheriff's ii was followed by a police “escort. Trailing the Sheriff were Capt. Eq | Helm, Sergt. Carl Ashley, head of | the vice squad, and two patrolmen, | riding in Chief Morrissey’s Car. | Bringing up the rear was a motor- | cycle patrolman. Chief Morrissey, asked about the escort, sald he did not know Capt. Helm was following the Sheriff, but | commented: “He and a lot of other police are | riding around town. We are going to protect the voters from any violence or harm.’ The Sheriff stopped at his own | polling place at 20 Jackson Place, near the Union Station. During the 10 minutes it took the | Sherift to vote, the police car stood | on the opposite side of the street, the officers watching a nickel pie vender do a landoffice business among the large crowd which was attracted by the caravan of official | cars.
Drives Across City Line i |
Emerging from the polling booth, the Sheriff announced to bystanders: “I did not vote for a single machine man.” The he climbed back in his car | and, with the police car and motor- | cycle again following, drove away. | He predicted that he would “beat | Sullivan by 16.000 or 18,000 votes.” He drove out State Road 35 then | across a side road to Route 37 where | he stopped for gasoline outside the | City limits. The police car followed | to the City After a brief pause, started back to town.

More than reported arrested by deputies, but several were released almost immediately on the issuance of habeas corpus writs from the courts of Superior Judges Joseph P.; Markey and Herbert E. Wilson and Criminal Court Judge Frank B. Baker. In some cases the writs arrived at the jail before the deputies had brought in the prisoners.
Arrests Protested
The arrests brought criticism from Judge Wilson, who said law enforcement officials arresting party workers on “unlawful charges” should be | prosecuted under Indiana's kidnap- | ing statute. He made his statement when! Charles McCallister, chief deputy | sheriff, brought a Democratic work- | er, Ed Dunn, 2346 N. Pennsylvania | St., before Judge Wilson on a writ | of habeas corpus. “Why was this man Judge Wilson asked. | “He's charged with violating the | election laws, but I don't know what he did,” Mr. McCallister replied. “It is a pretty serious thing to arrest men without knowing why,” Judge Wilson said. “This is nothing more than a violation of the kidnaping laws. I think it is a mistake to let these things go with the mere discharge of the prisoner. There should be some thought to prosecuting the person who made the arrest.” Mr. Dunn said he was arrested when he handed out cards. Judge Wilson told him to return to his work at the polls. William P. Flanary, registration | supervisor, announced that ahout 75 | persons who had been turned awav from the polls because of questionable registration, appeared at his office by 9 a, m. He said that about 50 of these had been properly registered, but had been certified for the wrong precinct.

The Election Commissioners reported at noon that they had received calls for 62 extra ballot boxes, indicating a heavy vote in some localities. Out of 1490 ballot boxes | available, 1360 were in voting places when the polls opened this morning. It was estimated that twothirds of the requests for extra ballot boxes were received from Democratic workers, and one-third from Republicans.
G. 0. P. Workers Short of Slates
At polling places, G. O. P. workers reported they were running out of slates and buttons, and in one instance had run short on ballots. A bushel basket was used as a container for voted ballots when the ballot boxes were filled at Precinct Two, 14th Ward, 646 Birch St. When workers for candidates complained, the Eelection Board dispatched two commissioners to the

Ruling Permits Slates
The Democratic County Committee was permitted to circulate its slates of favored candidates today as a result of an Indiana Supreme Court ruling. The high tribunal late yesterday made permanent a writ of prohibition barring interference with the committee in its issuance of slates. A temporary writ was granted Royal A. Nicholas, 9 issued a temporary order restraining the committee from printing or circulating slates. His action was on a petition filed by Andrew Jacobs, Democratic candidate for Prosecutor.

Favors Smoke Curb
Mr. Wolff urged a program of track elevation, flood control and smoke abatement. : Track elevation is not a problem of any one section of the City,” he said. “It is a problem of the entire city. The same thing is | true of flood control and smoke abatement. On these matters we must have more than mere talk Action is required.

At Madison, a light vote was reported, although citizens expressed a Democratic preference. Contrary to the general Hoosier trend this year, few candidates were opposed in Jay County and voting there was light Whitley County also reported a meager vote. Despite a lively primary campaign and eight congressional candidates in the Third District, early South Bend voting was slow, but gained’ momentum during the morning. The city of La Porte produced a heavy vote due to the campaign for renomination of Mayor Alban Smith, attorney for D. C. Stephenson, former Ku-Klux Klan leader serving a life sentence in the State Prison for murder.
