THURSDAY, OCT. 18,

- * DENIAL GREETS 6.0, P, ATTACK

ON INFIRMARY

‘Wheatley Takes Issue With Accusations Hurled by Garrabrandt.

County Commissioner Clarence I. Wheatley today denied a Republican charge that conditions at the Marion County Infirmary are “worse than the slavery system of the Miu-

dle Ages.” The charge was made by William E. Garrabrandt, G. O. P. candidate . for Commissioner, in a speech at ihe Cumberland Community Hous: last night. : Meanwhile, Republican County organizations prepared to conduct four meetings this afternoon and tonight. Afternoon meetings were scheduled at 6850 E. 10th St. and 1916 Ralston Ave, and night meetings at 47 N. Warman Ave. and at the Odd Fellows Hall, Cottage Ave. and Olive St. City and County nominees are to attend the four meetings. A tea for Republican women of Warren Township and Irvington was to be given at-2 p. m. today by Mrs. Bernard L. Curry and Mrs. Harry N. White at the home of Mrs. - Curry, 6797 E. 10th St. A card party will be held at the home of Mrs. L. J. Runyon, 1108 N. Alabama St., at 8 o'clock tonight, -under the auspices of the Republican women of Precinct 8, Ward 8.

- Food Poor, Is Claim

Discussing the Infirmary, Mr. Garrabrandt charged that it has be“come a “political football with the "favorites of the machine kicking it from one extreme to another, all to . their selfish profit.”

“If the 240 acres of Marion County ‘land which is part of the property - of the Infirmary raises a big crop of potatoes,” he commented, why should the inmates not have the benefit? “Why should they. be forced to accept poorly made coffee, rice fit only for a Chinese —coolie, and miserable gravy? Marion County can afford better treatment than this for the inmates and without raising taxes either. There is something rotten in Denmark.” : At one time, he said, the Infirmary had one of the finest herds of dairy cattle in this part of the State, but “today they have virtually no stock.” : Promises New System

“Once in England,” Mr. Garrabrandt said, “they imprisoned men for debt. In this country, we send people to a place like the Marion County Infirmary where they have to eat Mulligan stew and thin, watery oatmeal, while the superintendent and his help eat first class quality food served hot from warm ovens. “Infringing upon the rights of the poor seems to be a habit with the besses. who have taken over the Democratic party in recent years. = “You remember there was an oldtime slogan the Demoocrats used to have—‘equal rights for all, special privilege to none.” Well, you never hear that slogan any more. It invites too much trouble. Today it’s ‘two per cent from all, or out you go, and everybody pays off. “When I .am elected Marion County Commissioner, we will start a new custom—the custom of looking over the bills for poor relief more carefully.” :

Claims High Prices Paid

Asserting that Center Township, with a Democratic Trustee, pays higher prices for poor relief articles than are paid for the same items by Washington Township, with a Republican Trustee, Mr. Garrabrandt added: “And where does this extra money go? It goes to feed the political machine, and you and I pay the bill. Thus relief of human suffering has been turned into a sordid political racket.” Mr. Wheatley, who is not a candidate for re-election as Commissioner, said in reply to Mr. Garrabrand’s charge that conditions at the Infirmary are “not one-tenth as bad as when we took office.” “They never even had a hospital or nurses at the Infirmary when we Democrats went in office,” he said. : Discussing the food situation, Mr. - Wheatley said the patients are getting the “best food we can give them with the money we have.” “They're not getting any T-bone steaks,” he added, “but they are getting good substantial food.” -

Boss Rule Royse Topic

Wilbur A. Royse, nominee for Judge of Superior Court 1, who also spoke at the Cumberland Community House, discussed attacks on “poss rule” ‘made by Chalmer Schlosser during the Primary campaign.

“Records in this County disclose

that Mr. Schlosser did not exaggerate the evil Clauerism,” he said. “Only recently, we were informed

resulting from

8 Off-Year

The previous off-year high was 265,000 in 1934. Earlier estimates were about 290,000, but a recheck of deaths and transfers of voters nut of the county decreased the total, Mr. Ralston said. “A total of 30,403 new registrations were filed and 39,040 transfers were effected, a total of 69,443,” he said. “Of this total, 42,480 persons were handled at branch stations and 26,933 voters came to the Court Houseoffice. Pending an accurate run of the poll sheets, this indicates 285,000 voters.” “The co-operation of the public is evidenced in that 6000 more persons availed themselves of our

lished. He never was placed under arrest. “Last week, the Prosecuting Attorney of this County, who now is under the Clauer machine for a judicial position, brazenly announced that he would not prosecute this man because he was ‘mentally ill.’ : “Before the advent of Clauerism, it was regarded as the duty of the courts to determine whether a man was or was not mentally responsible.” Haerle Discusses Case

The same topic was discussed by Edwin Haerle, nominee for Prosecutor, in a talk last night at 310 W. 28th St. “It seems to me,” he said, “that if a man deliberately steals money

‘the should be punished for that

crime regardless of the fact that someone came to his aid and made good the loss.” ‘ Heading tomorrows G. O. P. schedule is a rally to be held at McClain’s Hall, Hoyt and State Aves.
