So far, thag is similar to Mr. Wolff's record. The judge wrote poetry frankly admitted it compared favorably with anything Longfellow turned out. Mr. Wolff admits just as frankly he is the best gardener in town and that his bed of tulips is second to none. The judge liked people and liked to work with them. he went to college manity.” About His Office Hours The judge insisted on being a leader. Herman Wolff ventured in to business to be his own boss and enjoyed his rank of captain during the World War because it enabled him to be “master of all I surveyed.” His grandfather demanded changes of scenery as his migra-

fire station and city offices and the like, because I can do a better job that way.” It seemed ordained that he become a businessman. His father and his father’s father were businessmen, and Herman Wolff says it never occured to him to be anything else. Came Here at Age of 6

He was born 48 years ago in To-

ance business, but Mr. Wolff remembers little of life in Kansas. When he was 6, his father took a position with an insurance company in Indianapolis. He enrolled at old School 2 at Delaware St. and It. Wayne Ave. The family lived at 1808 Delaware. The family moved several times during the next few years and Herman’s school affiliations changed. He attended School 45, then School 27 and School 32. There he first tasted victory when the eighth grade graduating class of 1904 elected him president, an event which he described as “the highlight of my youth.”

Tried for “Every Team”

The next year he entered Shortridge High School and went out for “every team on the book.” A stray football shoe removed two of his front teeth, and a strenuous scirmmage left him with an injured tendon. This did not discourage Herman from his athletic aspirations, but it discouraged his father for him. “Dad put his foot down and warned he would take me out of school if he caught me playing football again. He would have done that, too, because he was very strict.”

At Shortridge he met Florence

From 1914 to 1917 he read avidly newspaper accounts of the World war. “I was curious. For some reason or other I wanted to go over and have a look for myself.” When the United States entered the war, Herman Wolff, 27 yeavs old and married, enlisted in the Ninth Training company at Ft. Harrison. He describes himself as “the rawest of the raw” recruits.

“I Was Afraid of Being Shot”

In December, 1917, he was transferred, coincidentally, to Funston, Kas., just a few miles from Topeka. There the 359th Division was formed which was sent overseas in April. “I saw France, went through a brief training period over there and then witnessed the war from the front-line trenches. My curiesity soon was satisfied and then I discovered something else. I was afraid of being shot at—scared to death. “I don’t know what would have happened if I hadn't got my first ‘hunch.’ I woula

“There was all humanity behind me. Wave after wave of men five yards apart coming out from the woods. I forgot danger. Then the barrage began and men began dropping at my side. My hunch kept me going.” “Life . . . Follows a Groove”

He calls the war “the highlight of my maturity.” “Everything has seemed more or less routine since then. Life seems to follow a groove.” For a short time, after the war, Mr. Wolff ran an insurance office in Chicago. It was there his daughter, Florence, was born. The family returned to Indianapolis and Mr. Wolfl decided the time had arrived for him to become his own boss. “I bought my desk and went to work. It’s all I had when I started and I'll never give it up. There's been pressure by my family, my secretary and numerous salesmen, but it’s no use.”

The Old-Type Rolltop

The desk, by the way, is the oldtype rolltop. The varnish has vanished in many of its battered places. It has dozens of pigeon-holes and each one is stuffed with papers. The top is littered with pipes and calendars and magazines. Mr, Wolff says that he became

His family has remained in the background and expressed only mild interest in his political activity. But at a meeting in an out-of-the-way place, he walked on the platform, started to speak, and then

noticed his mother, who is 75, sitting in the front row. “It was an inspiration,” Mr. Wolfl said. His father died two years ago. He died suddenly, the way his grandfather died. “That is the way I want to go,” he said. His hobbies are books and flowers.

With “Ojibway Conquest,” a book of [n

poems by Judge Julius T. Clark, as a starter, he has built up a book collection of 1500 volumes. “Tulips . . . Prettiest You Ever Saw” “I built my library. With one exception it's the pride of my heart, It has shelves on all four walls and books on every shelf. “The exception is my flowers. I have 2000 tulips, the prettiest you ever saw.” Mr. Wolff attends the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church, is a member of the Memorial Post, American Legion, and the Kiwanis Club. That other “hunch” which came to him a year ago is the firm conviction that the Republican Party will win next fall. “Only twice in my life have I felt this way.” He laughed. “But even if I'm wrong I'll still be batting .500 per cent.”

statement. “The plurality given me in the | Democratic primary is extremely | gratifying and I wish to express

port that has been given me, “I interpret the result as a vote of confidence and I will do the utmost, if elected in the fall, to fulfill the trust that has been placed in me. “l have known and regarded highly both of my opponents for many years. The results show that they have a large following of admirers and supporters.” Mr. Wolff made this statement: “I am grateful of course for the nomination but deeply sensitive to obligations of the Republican Party and the people of Indianapolis. More particularly I want to commend my opponents in the pri mary for showing characteristic Republican sportsmanship. “They have agreed to go down the line in the November eiection and that is the kind of spirit which will bring a Republican victory.” Edward O. Snethen, who trailed in the Democratic mayoralty race, pledged his support to Mr. Sullivan in a congratulatory message. “Congratulations upon your nomination for Mayor,” he said. “This overwhelming vote should insure your election in November. I was glad to note in your radio speech that you were for the city manager form of government. I shall be at your service in the fall campaign and in your efforts to secure the city manager plan of government for Indianapolis.”

Bradshaw Is “Grateful”

Judge Wilfred Bradshaw who slept a few hours last night at his office, smiled as he checked returns at Democratic headquarters this morning. “I am extremely grateful for the support given me in the primary by members of the Democratic Party,” he said, “especially those who aided in the work of the Juvenile Court Committee, “I do not consider this a personal victory, but rather consider it a victory for the good people and organizations who joined together in what amounted to a crusade in an [attempt to get a better Juvenile | Court. “I also want to thank the Indianapolis newspapers for the splendid way in which they supported my | candidacy.”

Richardson Gaining

As returns increased, Russell Richardson was reducing Edwin Haerle's lead in their race for the Republican nomination for Prosecutor. Only 264 votes separated them on the basis of returns from 77 precincys, the vote being Haerle 3785 and Richardson 3521, Mr, Richardson's supporters claimed that his stronghold was in Irvington where only a few precincts had reported,

Ballot Box Supply Exhausted

County Election Board headquarters were quiet during most of the primary day. Reports of trouble were described as “fewer than usual.” Some reports were made early in the morning that the ballot boxes assigned to precincts were insufficient. When the polls opened at 6 a. m, there were 1360 ballot boxes in the 336 precincts. There were only 130 additional boxes and at 2 p. m., the Election Commissioners announced that this supply had been exhausted. By this time, reports of filled ballot boxes were piling up in the Commissioners’ offices and teams of deputy election commissioners were hurried to the complaining precincts to see just what could be done to relieve the situation.

Shortly before 7 a. m,, iff announced he was investigating “numerous reports of people trying to buy votes for 25 and 50 cents.” More than half a dozen persons were arrested by the Sheriff's deputies between then and noon, but most of them were released almost immediately with the issuance of habeas corpus writs from Superior Court Judges Joseph Markey and Herbert Wilson and Criminal Court Judge Frank P. Baker. In some cases, the writs appeared at the Jail before the deputies had are rived with the prisoners. The arrests resulted criticism from Judge Wilson, when Ed Dunn, 2346 N. Pennsylvania St, a Democratic worker, was brought before him by Deputy Sheriff Charles McCallister, “Why was this man arrested?” asked the Judge. “He's charged with violating the election laws,” said Mr. McCallister, “but I don’t Know what he did.” “It is a pretty serious thing to arrest men without knowing why,” retorted Judge Wilson ‘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 told the Judge that he had been arrested while he was handing’ out cards for one of the candidates. Judge Wilson told him to return to his work at the polls,

Mr. Ray Rushes About

Most of the leading candidates did not appear in the limelight during the day. Mr. Sullivan voted during the morning, and returned immediately to his apartment. Mr.

Wolff and Mr. Henry voted in their precincts and then went to their offices. Acting in his dual role of Sheriff and opposition Mayoralty candidate, Mr. Ray spent the morning rushing from voting place to voting place, checking on reports of trouble phoned in by his workers, On the rounds, the Sheriff's car was trailed by a police “escort.” Following the Sheriff were Capt. Ed Helm, Sergt. Carl Ashley, head of the police vice squad, and two patrolmen riding in Chief Morrissey's car. Bringing up in the rear was a motorcycle policeman. The Sheriff stopped his car at his own polling place, 20 Jackson Place. near Union Station. Durin the 10 minutes it took the Sheri to vote, the police car stood on the opposite side of the street, the police officers watching a nickel pie vender do a landoffice business among the large crowd which was attracted

by the caravan of official automobiles Emerging from the polling place, the Sheriff announced to bystanders that “I did not vote for a sine gle machine candidate.” He climbed into his car and with the police car and motorcycle officer still following, drove out State Road 35. He crossed a side road to State Road 37, where he stopped for gasoline outside the City limits, The police car followed to the City line, stopped and turned around, The Sheriff started back into town after a brief pause. At one time during the morning, the Sheriff complained that the Indiana State Police had refused to broadcast his calls, This was denied by State Police, “My regular calls,” said Mr. Ray “are carried over the State Police radio but this morning when we had a report of trouble at a voting place at 312 W. Vermont St, they refused to put us on the air so we could dispatch a car to the scene One of my deputies was told by the State Police that they had orders not to accept any of my calls today.” In reply to this, State Police Captain Walter Eckert said: “We are putting on the air all calls which we are allowed to do under the Federal Communications System. And I know that just about two minutes ago we put out a call for Sheriff Ray to call his office.” The Election Board announced early in the day that it had taken no action on the Sheriff's complaint yesterday that at least 38 of the more than 200 precinct board workers were ineligible to serve, The Board said the Sheriff had made no formal complaint and that they were unable to discover any sub stance to the charge, Official Democratic County Cens tral Committee slates were in evi dence throughout the day at the polls. The Committee was pers mitted to eirculate its slates of favored candidates as the result of a ruling late yesterday by the Indie ana Supreme Court, The high court made permanent a writ of prohibition barring inter. ference with the Committee in its issuance of slates, Late last week, Andrew Jacobs, Democratic candidate for the Prose. cutor nomination, appealed for a Superior Court order ruling out the issuance of slates, A temporary ors der was issued by Royal A. Nicholas, judge pro tem, in Superior Court Room Two. The Democratic Come mittee immediately appealed to the Supreme Court which first issued a temporary ruling, then made its decision permanent yesterday, The official tabulation of votes was started at the registration office about 8:30 a. m. County Clerk Glenn B. Ralston, ex-officio member of the Election Board, said that the county probably would require about 30 to 36 hours.

Take Over 4 Courtrooms Election officials took over four courtrooms-Cireuit, Criminal, Su perior One and Superior Two--for the canvassing. Criminal Court and Superior Two are to be used for the reading of the precinct returns and Cireuit Court and Superior One for the of. ficial checking of the Oanvassing Board. In the comparable 1934 primary, 46,514 Democrats voted and 42715 Republicans. In 1036, there were 63,165 Democratic primary votes and 36012 Re. publican, This was attributed to the fact that it was a Presidential year election.

the most fireworks were called forth by Sheriff Ray's “bust-the-machine” campaign for the Democratic nomination, Interest throughout the campaign remained centered on the Mayoralty races, The Sheriff helped organise Machine Busters, Inc, and held seve eral large rallies, at which he and others denounced the Democratie organization for alleged “machine” tactics, To this frontal attack, the Demo= cratie organization turned a deaf ear.
