“Senator Minton, who urged al united front among common people |: in support of the New Deal here last ||

night, will continue his local speaking campaign tonight at a 10th

Ward Democratic meeting at Forest |

Ave. and E: Washington St. Speaking with the Senator tonight will be Reginald H. Sullivan, Democratic Mayoralty candidate. :At a 15th Ward rally at the South Side Turners’ Hall and at a Sixth Ward rally at 29th and Clifton Sts., last night, Senator Minton said:

“The hope of the common people

of America for continued progréss| fg

lies in the co-operation of-labor and agriculture and anyone who disturbs this relationship is an instrument for the destruction of democracy. “A democracy needs the. co-op-eration of all the people, and great harm is done when someone, either through ignorance ‘or malice, attempts to drive people with similar economic interests apart. «A favorite trick of great wealth and privilege to keep itself in power was to create and ‘stir up misunderstanding and suspicion between the farmer and the labering men. “They know that if ever the worker and the farmer got together and found out that their interests were the same, then special privilege would be kicked out and the days of selfish concentration of wealth would be over. © «Naturally, the farmer and the worker have a common share in the welfare of the other. If the worker is underpaid, purchasing power is destroyed.- But if the worker is well-paid, he buys and consumes the great portion of the goods of agriculture. “Within the last five and a half years, the workers -and farmers have discovered that they both belong to the masses, that when one is oppressed the other is, too. Both farm and labor organizations have taught and encouraged co-opera-tion between labor and agriculture. At last the two are getting together, and as a result both have prospered.

Other Meetings Listed

“And yet, afew nights ago, the Republican nominee for Senator told an audience that the reason he voted against measures benefitting the laboring people in the Legislature was because he came from an agricultural community. “That statement is both dangerous and absurd, dangerous because it is a recurrence of that artificial jll-will which the enemies of humanity and democracy try to stimulate. And it is absurd, because tis economic and social interests and goals of labor and agriculture are the same.” .

VanNuys Pledges Loyalty To Constitutional System

Times 8pecial

KOKOMO, Oct. 25.—Defending the Constitution as the “greatest charter of human liberty ever written,” U. S. Senator VanNuys said here last hight that this document guaranteed Americans a Government of law instead of men. Speaking at a Democratic rally, Senator VanNuys, who led the successful fight against the President’s Supreme Court Reorganization Bill on the grounds that it would undermine the constitutional system, said: ; - : “I call your attention to the fact that our written Constitution is a limitation upon Government itself. It is a sacred pact between the people and the Government clearly defining the rights and powers of

- each. It defines just how fat the

Government may go and no further. : «All powers not delegated to the Government are reserved to the people. It forever assures the most humble of our citizens that we are a Government of law and not of men. To its preservation, I pledge continued loyalty and fidelity.” Senator VanNuys pointed out

that in some foreign countries

where people are without protection of a written constitution, the rights of minority groups are trampled under foot by the edicts of a single man. “There we see men, women and children condemned to persecution and exile on account of their race or religion. There we see the rights of free speech, trial by jury, a free press and a free religion denied millions of citizens on account of the prejudice and hatred of a single individual and his little coterie of adherents. “There we see labor denied the right to organize and private property confiscated without compensation. Not only the right to vote, but the right to speak and even to think is denied and the edict enforced by pointed bayonets and coricentration camps,” he declared.

Mrs. Hattie Dunkin... finds security greater under New Deal.

in the last year of Republican State Administration, despite the increase in governmental services to people in practically all fields, Governor Townsend said at a political rally here last night. v - “The taxes on rural property have been reduced from $26,290,000 inf 1932 to $17,539,000 in 1937, and taxes on homes have been reduced from $83,006,000 in 1932 to $58,438,000 in 19317,” the Governor said. : “In comparing the last year of Republican State Administration, 1931-32, with 1936-37, the total cost of local and State government has been reduced $18,436,624. And let me emphasize that these are not partisan figures but were compiled by the Board of Accounts. “In 1931-32, there were no oldage pensions, no pensions for dependent children, no pensions for the blind, no maternal and child program, no community sanitation program, no extensive venereal disease central program, no WPA, no extension safety program requiring a large and well-trained State Police force, no Labor Division, no Housing Board, and no State support for teachers’ salaries. “By reorganizing and Increasing the efficiency of State government, we have been able to give more services to the people at less cost to our Indiana taxpayers. We have beén able to bring greater security to the people, without in any way endangering the financial security of government.”

Mrs. Dunkin Lauds Security Program

Times Special EVANSVILLE, Oct. 25.—The New Deal in the State and Nation has afforded the average peérson greater security in all stages of his life, Mrs. Hattie Dunkin, of the State Division of Institutions, said in a campaign address here last night. “As a woman, I have been particularly interested in the programs of benefit to children and young people,” she said. “Even in early infancy, ‘the maternal and child health programs give the modern child more health protection.”

RELIEF FUND GRAFT CHARGED BY HAERLE

Claims Contributions Made By ‘Favored’ Merchants.

Speaking from the headquarters of the Citizens Wolff-for-Mayor Club, Edwin Haerle, Republican candidate for Prosecutor, today told a noon gathering that “the Nazis who cheat the-poor to pay for their spy system are on the same moral and mental level as the boss politicians of this country.” “In this country, right here in Marion County,” he said, “we have seen an example of how politicians can eep themselves in office through the power given by relief funds. “A township trustee who pays ex-

tra high prices for relief groceries|

receives the benefit of those high prices, indirectly, in the form of campaign contributions. “These high prices never have been investigated by the Prosecutor's office, although it is apparent somebody is cheating somewhere. The varying campaign contributions from coal, grocery, meat and milk dealers indicates that the contributions are based on the amount of business dorie on relief supplies.”

NEW WPA AID APPROVED

Times Special 2 WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—President Roosevelt has approved expenditure of $148,780 in WPA funds to operate a Bedford stone quarry to .obtain building material for WPA projects, Senator VanNuys’ Yrashingien office was notified toy. : : Other WPA approvals included $151,314 for low dams in Howard County; $162,260 in Perry, and $99,888 in Huntington County.

Stark in Irvington Speech Charges It Helped Build

Political ‘Machine.’

Judson L. Stark, former County Prosecutor, today had assailed the Gross Income Tax Law and the Liquor Control Act as two major “steps” by which a “dictatorship and a great political machine” had been built inh Indiana. Mr. Stark in an address. before the Irvington Republican Club last night, outlined what he called the development of the “McNutt-Town« send machine.” “The Executive Administrative Act (of 1933) was the foundation of the present dictatorship in Indiana,” he charged. “It was the entering. wedge which made possible the development of this political racketeering machine which Senator VanNuys called ‘the worst machine in America. And to date he has neither repented nor retracted a single statement he made on this subject. Criticizes Tax Law “The next steps in the development of this great political machine were the Gross Income Tax Law, the 140-page Liquor Control Act and finally the act legalizing the notori-

ous “Two Per Cent Club’ activities,” he said. » Criticizing the Gross Income Tax Law, he charged that it enabled the “poorer counties” to reach into.the pockets of the citizens of other counties. “For instance,” he said, “in 1937 Marion County citizens paid $5,385,175.80 in Gross Income tax to swell the State fund available to help local units with their school and welfare problems, but less than two millions of this huge fund ever returned to Marion County. “Our ‘Good Neighbor’ policy is so strong in. Marion County that we are forced to contribute over three million dollars in this fund alone to the less fortunate counties, and all the while our local taxes increase and our newspapérs groan with pages and pages of published sales of tax delinquency property. Cites Liquor Act

“While an army of volunteers go out and sweat blood to raise $700,000 to relieve suffering through our Community Fund, four times that sum is forced from our pockets to be scattered about in less fortunate counties.” . Mr. Stark cited the Liquor Control Act as another “step” in the direction of what he called “machine control.” He assailed the set-up and supervision of the act and its provision for the ‘“port-of-entry” system. , “It takes an administrator and a three-man commission each at salary of $6000 a year and expenses to supérvise and direct an army of investigators with ample police pow» ers to prevent forever the return of the open saloon,” he said. “All these beer joints,” road houses and so-called tavertis where anybody can buy any and all kinds of intoxicating liquor opénly aré not open saloons, we are to believe, and their present state of morality and putity is due to this expensive set-up of supervision and control. “It is hard to cope with a ma-= chine which has its agents everywhere at our expense.” Cites “Two Per Cent Club” . While women’s clubs and other organizations were being “assured” that heads cf State departments were for the merit system, he said, a dispenser of patronage “is scanning the list to reward or punish in the most scientific political fashion.” He declared that “the machine” sponsored the act legalizing the “Two, Per Cent Club” in order “to get funds to remain in power.” “The more we study the laws of. the State of Indiana,” he said, “the better we understand how the Mc-Nutt-Townsend machine has become, as Senator VanNuys says, ‘the worst machine in America.’ “It began with the Executive-Ad-ministrative Act of 1933, continued with the Gross Income Tax Act of 1933, the Liquor Control Act of 1935, the recent legalization of the ‘Two Per Cent Club’ and the extension of bureaucratic control to build up one of the most formidable political ma= chines this State and Nation has ever seen.”

Hamilton Asks 11 More ‘Like Rep. Halleck’ -

Times Special RENSSELAER, Oct. 25.—Campaigning for the re-election of his

National G. O. P. Chairman John D. M. Hamilton today had urged Hoosiers to send 11 more men “like Rep. Halleck .to Congress.” He also urged election of Raymond E. Willis to the U. S. Senate. ~ Mr. Hamilton, addressing a Republican rally here last night, told citizens of Rep. Halleck’s home town that the lone Republican Congressman from Indiana is. “a credit to the Republican Party nationally.” - _ Praising Mr. Willis, Mr, Hamilton

“I hope there will be no Republicans in Indiana who will be fooled by the effort fo make it appear that Senator VanNuys is a courageous, independent man.” ‘ Waving a paper which he sai contained the voting record of Senator VanNuys, Mr. Hamilton said that the senjor Indiana Senator had voted “yes” on the original AAA, the TVA, the abrogation of the gold clause in private and Government contracts, and the NRA.

‘Yes Man for Roosevelt’

He added that Senator VanNuys also had voted “yes” for the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act, the Guffey Coal Control Act, the Wagner Labor Relations Act, the Second AAA Farm Act, extension of the NRA, the second Bituminous Coal Act, “the spending ‘bills, with one exception,” and the present Farm Act. : “The fact that Senator VanNuys opposed the Supreme Court packing plan attracted widespread attention—primarily because he had been such an ardent ‘yes man’ for the Roosevelt Administration,” the speaker said. “Once Senator VanNuys voted right. But that one vote cannot wipe out or even offset the large number of other wrong and unsound votes he has cast in the Senate. “And, of course, I need not tell you that today Senator VanNuys is going along with the McNutt machine and the smelly ‘Two Per Cent Club’ in this State. If he is a man of courage, let him prove it to us by telling the things he knows about the. McNutt crowd in this State as he threatened to do last spring.” Farm Policy Attacked Assailing the New Deal's farm policy, Mr. Hamilton said “he did not need to be a farm expert to know that this program has collapsed.” “A glance at the current prices of wheat, corn, cotton and other farm products is evidence of that fact,” he asserted. “Surely Secretary of Agriculture Wallace must have had his tongue in his cheek recently

farmers that the present New Deal farm plan was ‘the best farm program that the farmers and the nation ever had.’ “If the present legislation is, in the words of Mr. Wallace, ‘the best farm program the nation ever had,’ why is he now so frantically searching around for a substitute for it?” He called n the assembly not to overlook the agricultural plank in the Indiana Republican platform, which opposes any Federal law seeking to “limit farm production or to encourage importation of products to this country.”

Links Blacktop to Townsend ‘Adviser’

Times Special SHERIDAN, Oct. 25.—An “adviser” of Governor Townsend is reported to be responsible for the increased use of “blacktop” as a State highway paving material, James Tucker, Republican candidate:for Secretary of State, charged at a party rally here last night. Mr. Tucker said that 100,000 tons of Kentucky rock asphalt had been used in Indiana this year, while Kentucky used only 15,000 tons, He asked why Kentncky did not use more of this material “if it is such good material,” and asserted: “For all we know, someone, perhaps some politician is getting a commission or something out of it.”

‘Buy American’ Plea Is Made by Willis

Times Special MICHIGAN CITY, Oct. 25.—Raymond E. Willis, Republican senatorial cancidate, charged here last night that the New Deal “experiments” were being projected at the “expense of labor.” : The nominee assailed the Admin-

istration’s Reciprocal Trade Agrees ments and called upon labor to join with the farmer in a “buy Ameri can” drive. “Mindful of the prosperity in the years the Republican party was in power” he said, “organized labor in our party knows full well that the restoration of the business and industrial policies of the Republicans is the action most needed today. “Those of labor in the Repub lican Party remember well the days when just and reasonable business and industrial policies of the party were bringing to the workers of Indiana and of the United States their period of most gainful labor and most widespread employment. “During the last few years, those policies have been cast aside. Lae bor has borne the brunt pf unems ployment, greatly reduced earnings and the many attendant maladjustments that followed the s0called ‘purging’ of the business and industry of this country.” Mr, Willis charged that the New Deal, instead “of “rescuing us from unemployment and depression, plunged us into a second depress sion.” .
