Mr. Willis will open his activities tomorrow with speeches at Frank-

lin and Kokomo to be followed by

a night speech at Marion, where

Senator Minton is also scheduled to ;

speak tomorrow night.

Meanwhile, other Republican can- |§

didates today were on record con-

demning a statement said to have §

been made by Floyd I. McMurray, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, in defending a history textbook at Richmond where it had been denounced as “partisan” in its Civil War treatment. Several organizations had objected to the book on the grounds

that it “misrepresented” the North- :

ern cause.

Candidates in a meeting yesterday

at the Claypool Hotel passed a resolution - pledging themselves “to clean out the State House machine.” The resolution follows: «We, the candidates on the Republican State ticket, pledge ourselves to clean out the State House machine and to smash every racket sponsored by the present privileged few who are in control of this infamous machine. We also wish to condemn the recent statements. of Floyd 1. McMurray to the effect that the ‘heroes of the Civil War have been honored sufficiently in the past’.” Norman J. Lasher, Republican candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction, said that “the Civil War is over but its effects are everlasting and perpetual.” “The heroism of the Northern soldiers is worth commendation for all time,” he said. Mr. McMurray refused to comment.

Willis Asks VanNuys Produce ‘Evidence’

Times Special PERU, Oct. 18. — Opening his _ Fifth District campaign here yesterday, Raymond E. Willis, Republican Senatorial nominee, demanded that Senator VanNuys “turn over to the people of Indiana a photostatic copy of Federal tax records showing a $140,000 income for one Democratic state official in 1937.” “7’d like to ask Senator VanNuys tonight if he ever had that photostatic copy of the Federal income tax report showing that a high official in the State of Indiana got $140,000 in 1937,” Mr. Willis said. “Last March he said he would take full responsibility for publishing it,” the nominee added. “If the Senator has that report, where is it? “Senator VanNuys has been denouncing me in strong terms. I'm not accustomed to calling people names, but I want to ask the citi-

zens of Indiana to judge whether:

a man who has promised them he will reveal serious dishonesty and graft in their State government and then sells out to these forces of iniquity in order to get the Senatorial nomination is a worthy person to represent this State at the nation’s capital.”

Rackets ‘Soak’ Common People, Says Tucker

Times Special RICHMOND, Oct. 18—It is the common people “who are soaked by the liquor racket and all the other rackets and grafts which increase the cost of government,” James M.

Tucker, Republican candidate for

|

John D. M. Hamilton

Secretary of State, said here last night. “Governor Townsend’s claim that, the common people are ‘their’ people is true,” he declared, “for it is from the common people that the various rackets espoused by his administration take their toll.” - Mr. Tucker lashed the present administration at a Republican rally. He promised reforms in administration of WPA funds, if the Republicans win in November, and asserted that his party “will see to it that all relief will be taken out of politics.” “1t will obliterate the liquor racket, the schoolbook racket and all the other rackets which now besmirch the good name of Indiana throughout the nation,” he said. “No wonder the Governor says he wants an investigation of the liquor system in 1939, after these beer barons have had their licenses renewed in November of this year. If the port-of-entry import system needs investigation now, it also needed it when Governor Townsend was elected to office in 1936.”

Farm Policy Failed,

Hamilton Says

MONTPELIER, O., Oct. 18 (U. P.). —Chairman John D. M. Hamilton of the Republican National Committee charged at a tri-state Republican rally today that the New Deal farm program has collapsed. He appealed for farm support of Republican candidates in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana in an effort to obtain a “common sense” solution of the farm problem. “One does not need to be an agricultural expert,” Mr. Hamilton said, “to know that the New Deal farm program has collapsed. A glance at the current prices of wheat, corn, cotton and other farm -products is evidence of that fact.” Mr. Hamilton said Secretary of Agriculture Wallace is “frantically searching around” for a substitute for the New Deal agricultural set-

up. “It is possible,” said Mr. Hamilton, “indeed, I say it is very probable— that unless someone brings Mr. Wallace down to earth very soon you will get a farm program far worse than any you have had—far worse than the: miserable failure of the cone we how have.”

POLL WORKERS LOSE SUIT FOR MORE PAY

Election Day 24 Hours Long, Court Rules.

The working day for election workers is 24 hours long and they ran be paid only at the statutory rate of $3 a day, the Indiana Su-| preme Court ruled today. In a case brought from Lake County, the Court ruled that election workers are public officials and do not come under the so-called eight-hour day law. Lowrence O. Bryan, Edwin Tiemann and Irene Teleky, who were inspector, judge and clerk, -respectively, at the recent primary election, filed suit against County officials, claiming they had not been paid sufficiently. - Mr. Bryan wanted $8 and the others $5 each. They claimed they had worked 24 hours straight and thus actually had put in three legal working days. In another opinion, the Court granted a change of venue from the court of Marion County Juvenile Court Judge John F. Geckler. A petition for change of venue was filed by the State for a minor in the usual forms used in criminal trials. Judge Geckler had held that juvenile cases were not subject to the same rules as Criminal Court cases.

PLEA FOR NEW CROP USES TAKES PRIZE

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Oct. 18 (U. P.).—Leslie H. Standlea, 18, of Ontario, Cal., who urged chemical research as a means of bringing about a combined advance of agriculture, industry and government today was the 1938 national oratorical champion of the future farmers of American. Standlea, a bee raiser, emphasized the need for discovering new crops and new uses for old crops. He won a $250 prize and a gold medal.

STOCKHOLDERS MAY APPEAL

NEW ALBANY, Oct. 18 (U. P.).— A ruling by Judge Robert Baltzell that nearly 100 Southern Indiana holders of stock in the defunct National Bank of Louisville, one of whom is Senator Minton, must pay o double assessment on their stock, will be appealed, it was said today.

high taxes would wreck society.” A majority of the 1000 persons who attended the rally at 25th St. and Northwestern Ave, were: Negroes, and they gave Senator VanNuys an ovation when he promised to continue his fight for passage of the Anti-Lynching Bill. Senator VanNuys also repeated his declaration that, if elected, he would retire from public life at the conclusion of another six-year term. He praised New Deal labor and relief policies, and declared that his record showed he had been a friend of the veterans.

Urges Caution on Pensions

After explaining that the Republican Party had made no attempt to pass social security legislation during its years of power, Senator VanNuys declared: «I have done more for old-age pensions and social security than Willis will ever be able to do. I am in favor of old-age pensions; I am in favor of unemployment insurance, and I am in favor of aid to needy blind. “I recognize that the present oldage pensions: are not adequate. We must find our way in this kind of legislation. We don’t want to wreck the whole structure so that there won’t be any more pensions. This is experimental legislation and we will have to go slowly.” Senator VanNuys pointed out that he fought to have the workers on PWA paid the prevailing wage scale, and denied again Mr. Willis’ assertion of heavy administrative costs of WPA in Indiana. Declaring his sponsorship of the Antilynching Bill was not political, Senator VanNuys said that while he was an undergraduate he debated on the necessity of legislation of this type. “I am going to give all‘the energy at my command to secure passage of this bill before I retire from public life. All classes and races of people are entitled to equal protection under the law. Both Senator VanNuys and Mr. Sullivan predicted an overwhelming Democratic victory Nov. 8, and both invited a comparison of tickets, candidate for candidate.

Seeks More Industries

After explaining that more new industries have located here in the last seven or eight years than in any previous 30-year period in the city’s history, Mr. Sullivan said: “if our City ticket is elected, and if our .County ticket is elected, we as public officials will so administer the affairs of Government so that a large number of new industries will be attracted here. That will mean pay envelcpes of more men and a reduction of unemployment problems.” : - He sald the factors. which attract business to a city are fair tax rates, good school and recreational facilities, proper enforcement of laws and a friendly relationship between employers, employees and Government. : Before the Democrats came into power, he said, there was a dumping ground at Northwestern Ave. and Fall Creek. “Our Park Board converted that dumping ground into a beautiful park. That park is still on its way to betterment. I am also informed that next month work is to start on a new community center there—a place to hold meetings and conduct recreational activities.” Grant W. Hawkins presided at the meeting and introduced local Democratic ° candidates. Mercer Mance, former Indiana National Youth Administration director for Negroes, and F. B. Ranson, City Council candidate, also spoke.

Townsend Hints at Security Changes

Times Special TERRE HAUTE, Oct. 18. — The State Administration now is conducting a study of Indiana’s old-age pension system with the hope of “improving ‘the security of the aged,” Governor Townsend revealed in an address here. Speaking at a Democratic rally last night, the Governor declared that the Republican Party in its years of power “sent the old people to the poor house, or let them suffer without lifting a hand.” He said the Democratic Party was the “parent” of social security. He said he was not contending that the present old-age assistance law is perfect, but declared that the party which originally sponsored the plan should be given the task of improving it. “From April 1, 1936, to Sept. $0, 1938, the old people of our State re-

For the 1939 calendar year, Indiana's welfare program will place $15,000,000 in the pockets of the elderly.”

Minton Praises Nation’s Trade Pacts

Times Special PETERSBURG, Oct. 18.—Reciprocal trade agreements which are being promoted by the National Administration are “paving the way for enduring world peace,” U. S. Senator Minton declared at a Demsocratic Party rally here ‘last night. “Wars with their terrible cost in lives and dollars are caused largely by economic disputes, and the reciprocal trade treaties break down these walls of hate,” he declared. “Nations with which the United States has negotiated these agreements are at peace with us. They are our friends and allies.” Senator Minton said these agreements provide a foreign market for our surplus commodities and permit the importation of goods from other countries which this country needs but does not produce. “The most practical and hardheaded way to find increased markets at home and abroad is to remove or reduce the excessive and economically unjustifiable trade barriers which since 1929 have been disastrously blocking the trade highways of the world,” he said. “Anyone who attacks the trade agreements program for political reasons is inviting this nation to break off her friendships with other nations and encourage world-wide hatred.”

40 Seek Ballots For Abent Voters

Applications for 40 absent voters’ ballots have been made at the County Clerk’s office since the service was started a week ago. Under the law, these sealed ballots cannot be accepted until next Monday, 15 days before the election. Absent voters, who have qualified properly, can send their marked ballots into the Clerk’s office any time before the 6 p. m. deadline at

®declared: “It has been stated publicly and in the press that this organization has collected vast sums of money for which it has made no accounting to anyone, and that it has neither paid a Federal income tax nor filed any Federal income tax return. |

“Senator VanNuys issued a public statement through the newspapers on March 31, 1938, that he considered the Two Per Cent Club violative of the Federal Corrupt Practices Act,” the letter continued. “I feel sure it is his opinion that this club should pay a Federal income tax. “I believe that Senator VanNuys has personal knowledge and possession of a great deal of igformation which would be very helpful to you and your department in determining whether there has been an income tax evasion and that this information could be readily obtained by calling Senator VanNuys before a Federal Grand Jury.” Neither Frank Finney, president of the “Two Per Cent Club,” nor Bowman Elder, treasurer, could be reached for comment on Mr. Jeffrey’s action. Addressing the Irvington Republican Club last night, Wilbur A. Royse, Republican nominee for Superior Court Judge, Room 1, declared that the “real issue in this campaign is whether the forces of Clauerism retain their stranglehold on our local and State government.” Meanwhile, several Republican campaign meetings were scheduled for tonight - and tomorrow.

Mr. Willis entered the Fifth District yesterday at Wabash and Peru and “hitched” his campaign wagon to Forrest A.

membered by: his {fellow Kokomo townsmen as the vigorous U. 8S. prosecutor under the Hoover Administration who brought the late Samuel Insull back from a Greek mountain retreat to face trial in Chicago. His opponent is Glenn Griswold, Peru attorney, the Democratic incumbent. As former district Legion commander, Mr, Griswold has had a large portion of the Legion vote. Now he faces the prospect of sharing it with Mr. Harness, himself active in the Legion. May Split Legion Vote It was the Legion, Republican leaders assert, which served as the instrument to write the name of Mr. Harness on the ballot in preference to that of Richard James, his primary opponent. Mr. James appears to have gotten the harder job when he was named chairman of the State Speakers’ Bureau. Having four long distance calls on the line at once is no novelty for Mr. James, who is largely responsible for the heavy speaking schedule ‘this campaign. Although the G. O. P. lost eight of the Fifth District’s nine counties in the 1936 Congressional landslide, party leaders are confident of big gains in this off-year election, if not victory. ; Their confidence seems to be built on indications of a “protest” vote against the Administration by labor.

Fears Cut in Overtime

The predicted protest is supposed to come, .in part, from the skilled workers in the brick industry, who are said to work long hours\at high rates when the industry flourishes and hardly at all when it is slack. It is said that these workers fear the Administration’s Wages and Hours Law will cut their overtime income, which - is supposed - to balance against the slack periods. “The support of the Townsendites is pledged. Republican leaders recall the race two years ago by Benjamin J. Brown, then Republican Congressional nominee, who polled 63,854 votes from his party, Townsendites and unhappy Democrats, against 70,854 for Mr. Griswold. ; Mr. Brown is now listed as the
