7 serve the evidence to be turned over to the Federal Grand Jury. “We invite any citizen who has ‘facts or information that can be verified, pertaining to any such ‘irregularities, to send the same to Postoffice Box No. 573, but we do not want anonymous letters. We will keep the information confidential, and will not disclose the name of any informer, except with ~his consent. : “The Indiana statute makes it a felony for any inspector, judge or clerk of the precinct election board to purposely cause the vote registered on a voting machine to be incorrectly taken down as to any, candidate, or to cause to be made or signed any false statement, certificate or return of any kind of such vote, or to knowingly consent to any of said things being done, and such person shall be imprisoned in the State Prison for not less than two years nor more than 10 years, to which may be added a fine of not more than $1000. : «In view of the vast amount of money that the Democratic machine has been able to accumulate by the

assessment of 2 per cent or more p

on the salaries of all public employees, and which sums, it is rumored, they have used in the past and will attempt to use this time to corrupt election boards, we have decided to have a recount immediately after the election Nov. 8, win, lose, or draw. : ~ «I would like also at this time to make clear to all voters that no one can tell how they vote; that there is only one bell on the voting machine, and that it is operated by the same mechanism, regardless of which party emblem is pulled, and that the ring is the same, regardless of which party emblem is pulled. The curtain on the voting machine is timed so that it does not open until after the candidates’ pointers return to their unvoted position.

Voting Is Secret

Therefore, no one can tell how the voter voted when the curtains open up: Neither is anyone allowed to accompany the voter inside the voting machine unless the voter is unable to vote by reason of hysical disability or inability te read the English language, and makes an affidavit to that effect. . «Restoration and preservation of the American system” was the keynote of a rally of Republican veterans at the Murat Theater Saturday night. : . The principal speaker was Edward A. Hayes, of Decatur, Ill, past national commander of the Amerjcan Legion. Attacking President Roosevelt and the New Deal, Mr. Hayes said: “When the President took to himself, under the National Economy Act, the right to do as he saw fit, it was the first indirect step toward dictatorship and destruction of the American system.

Jewett Also Speaks

" “pictators want to be the ones to decide what to do or not to do. Permissive legislative enactments have given the present head of the Democratic Party a great deal of that type of power. He still has, for instance, $2,000,000,000 in his hands for which he need not account.” Other speakers on the program were Charles W. Jewett, candidate for 12th District congressman; Herman C. Wolff, candidate for Mayor; Joe Rand Beckett, who introduced G. A. R. veterans and other honored guests; Ralph Gregg, 12th District chairman; William O. Nelson, candidate for 11th District congressman; William BE. Reiley, County division chairman of the Indiana Republican veterans, and V. M. Armstrong, former State Legion commander. Mr. Hayes charged that Senator VanNuys “promised veterans more than any other candidate in this State ever did” but “voted with the President against the veterans.”

Wolff Hits Boss Rule

Mr. Wolff urged a city “free from boss rule.” “If the people do not take action {n the election next month to stop this liquor racket and gambling, we will find ourselves in the same plight as Kansas City, which is ruled by a political machine with an iron hand,” he declared. Mr.- Nelson charged that the Administration has “dominated every phase of American life except. religion, and that will come.” Predicting success in November, Mr. Jewett said “the people will go our way because they know our cause is right.”

VanNuys Raps Labor Record of Rival

Times Special - NOBLESVILLE, Oct. 17.—Senator Van Nuys defended his record and lashed at the labor policies of his Republican: opponents, Raymond E. Willis, in a speech here Saturday night. he “During the last six years I have disagreed with some of my own party concerning certain proposals and the working of certain statutes both Federal and State,” he declared. “In these instances I was actuated only by the desire to be of lasting service to the people of the State and nation. By the same token I felt that I was also serving the best -interests of my party. I

|always have believed and still be-

lieve that a clean, nonest administration is the best asset of a political party.” ; : Referring to Mr. Willis’ challenge for a debate, the Senator declared that “in every campaign, that stage is finally reached where somebody

From such viewpoint it is not irrelevant to question the depth of Mr. Willis’ protestations to organized labor in view of his record in the Sate Senate and the fact that he has for years run a nonunion printing shop.” Regarding Mr. Willis’ indorsement by the Townsend Clubs, he cited an anti-Townsend Plan editorial he said appeared in Mr. Willis’ newspaper, the Steuben County Republican, Dec. 11, 1935.
