Mr. Jewett pledged his support to the Townsend Old-Age Pension Plan, and said it should be ‘“thor-

A only analyzed by expert eco-

nomists and actuaries.” If it is sound in principle, he said, “some practical application of it should be put into law.” If it won't “work, he said, he is for a similar plan “to meet this great need.” He declared that his opponent, Louis Ludlow, Democratic incumbent running for re-election, “believes in and votes for New Deal measures which I believe are unAmerican, unsound and, if carried to their logical conclusion, will wreck our system of free competitive enterprise and destroy our evenly-balanced Repuhlican form of government.”

_ Reform Promised

. Reform in City, County and State governments is promised voters by the Republican Party, Mr. Richardson declared. : . “Its candidates are -unbossed and

free agents,” he said. “They owe no allegiance superior to the people whom they hope to serve.” . Enslavement of labor is inevitable under the New Deal, Mr. Meadows " declared. “If the present totalitarian system of government continues, you . wil] be nothing but a serf,” he said. “There is toc much bureau law in these United States today. “We have seen in the past six years an attempt to make our daily lives over. “Business and industry and personal initiative have been subject to so much restrictive regulations because there is not a law yet passed by the New Deal that anybody understands. “There were 9,000,000 men out of work in June, 1933, and there are 12,000,000 out of work now.” Mr. Meadows charged that the only “prosperity” since the New Deal took office came in 1934, 1936 ‘and this year. He pointed out that these were “election years,” and declaréd that Federal money was spent at these times to win votes.”

State-Wide G. 0. P. Victory Predicted by Willis

Times Special FT. WAYNE, Nov. 5—A Statewide victory next Tuesday for the Republican Party was predicted last - night by Raymond E. Willis, Republican Senatorial nominee. Speaking at a party rally here, ~ Mr. Willis asserted: “The scent of victory is in the air, and it seems to emanate most noticeably here.” Attacking Democratic tariff policies, he charged that the money sent abroad for imports last year would have “given jobs to two million of our unemployed.” “Last year, three billions of dollars worth of goods were imported into this country,” he said, adding that New Deal reciprocal trade treaties were responsible for these importations. “Let’s be fair to American Labor,” _ he said. “Let's aid it in getting a * proper share of the wealth we produce, and in hours and conditions of work, but more than all else, let's provide jobs.”

* Candidate for Prosecutor

Pledges Economy

Edwin Haerle, Republican candidate for Prosecutor, today had promised that if elected he will keep down expenses and hire the most Saparle lawyers available as depues. Speaking last night at the Wolff-for-Mayor headquarters, he declared: . “I promise you that the Prosecutor’s office will be open to your inspection at ‘all times. I will appoint deputies whose integrity and ability are unquestioned. “There will not be any undercover or shady transactions or dealings with any person, group or organization. I will prosecute those who deserve prosecution but will not use the powers of my office to get even with or get revenge upon anyone.”

_. Communist-Democrat “Alliance’ Charged

Times Special PAOLI, Nov. 5—An “unholy alliance” between Democrats and Communists was charged by James M. Tucker, Republican candidate for Secretary of State, in an address here last night. He said Governor - Townsend's guarantee of free speech and assembly for a Communist rally in Bloomington is evidence of the “alliance.” . He described the Democratic Party as “founded by Thomas Jefferson but dumfounded by " Pranklin D. Roosevelt.” 3 “The Republican Party is not pane against the Democratic Party; it is campaigning - against the New Deal,” Mr. Tucker

Democratic Election Board workers today had been warned that anyone attempting to tamper with vote totals at the polls Tuesday will face “the pena ty of long prison terms.” The warning was given by Russell Ryan, assistant Democratic county chairman, at the first of a series of instruction meetings for Democratic canvassing board workers last night. “And any board worker seen taking a single drink while on duty will be removed by the Sheriff and replaced at once,” Mr. Ryan warned. “We are not going to tolerate any foolishness at this election because the confidence of the people of the entire nation is at stake.” He also warned the board workers that it is their responsibility to see that every qualified voter gets a chance to vote and “it must be counted correctly at all costs.” “There is no reason to take any kind of chances. . . . Remember we

VanNuys Outlines Campaign Senator VanNuys, in his semifinal address of the campaign, spoke here over the radio last night. Discussing the campaign, he said

.1he had assiduously “refrained from

personalities and invectives,” adding that “I have been subjected to the most vicious attack upon the part of certain leaders . . . which I have ever witnessed in nearly 40 years of activity in Indiana politics.” “My integrity and honesty of purpose have been questioned in every community in the State,” he said. “It is none of my business how the opposition conducts its campaign, but I cannot refrain from the observation that if the opposition is really desirous of building a strong, militant and appealing opposing party—which is always a wholesome condition for the country—mudslinging personal invectives are a flimsy foundation upon which to build its appeal.”

Cites Accomplishments

The senior Senator recited accomplishments of the present Administration, and pledge “my continued and unremitting fidelity to our constitutional form of government.” Discussing the European situation, he declared: “I see but one course to pursue— to stay out of that vortex of greed, selfishness, persecution and international anarchy which today is destroying European civilization. “Through no vote of mine will the United States of America ever become a party to it.”

New Deal Has Relieved

Misery, Minton Claims

EVANSVILLE, Nov. 5—“The New Deal has restored to the American people a fundamental right, the right to earn a decent living and to live in decency,” Senator Minton said here last night. . “Now that misery has been relieved and starvation checked, the party which failed to stop the tide of depression in 1932 wants to know who is going to foot the bill for recovery. “They are worrying about the wrong bill. True, we have ine creased the national debt. But we have incurred it by trying to preserve for millions of our citizens the right to work, the right to live.”

‘Townsend Says Fear of

'Dictatorships Removed

Times Special GARY, Nov. 5—“All fears of dictatorship in this country were removed when the President substituted jobs for the breadline und security for insecurity,” Governor Townsend said here last night. “The only time during our lifetime when this nation wag in danger of being seized by a dictator was when families were starving, labor was cruelly oppressed and the farmers were being sold down the river to bankruptcy. “The Democratic administrations have removed this fear ¢f autocratic control by freeing the people from the threat of want and returning the Government to them.” The Governor added that the Republican Party “still holds to the idea that government is instituted for the benefit of the upper crust.”

REAR ADMIRAL BRYANT DIES

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 (U. P.).— The Navy Department was advised today of the death last night in Asheville, N. C., of Rear Admiral Samuel Wood Bryant, 61. Admiral Bryant saw active duty in the Spanish American and World Wars and also the Nicaraguan campaigns.

PF. of L., Labor, however. A. PF. of L. indorsement letters also were sent upon request, to Reps. Glen Griswold, Fifth District Democrat, and Charles A. Halleck, Second District Republican, both of whom seek re-election.

Democrat Poll Workers Warned on Tampering

“The law gives the party in power the right to have a majority on the election boards and this makes it

doubly important that you see that the Republicans get a fair deal at the polls.” Mr. Ryan instructed the workers at length on the many possible voting machine tampering tricks. “There always are all kinds of reports that matches or other matter have been placed under keys of the machine so they won't work,” he said. “Any tampering like this can be seen at a glance. Check the numbering meter on the back at 6 a. m. to see that it is zero and Monday night take a reading of the permanent total to see that no tampering has been done during the night before the polls open.” He insisted that every voter, 1egardless of his attitude, should be treated courteuosly at all times. “Don’t allow any person not properly registered the right to vote; if (they insist they are registered send them to Circuit Judge Earl Cox at the Court House and he will ise certificate,” ©

Hoover Promises Answer on Label of Fascist in Speech Tonight.

tolerance and unity at home, but one militant against social oppression or military aggression.

Backs Profit System

Pledging himself again te support the private profit system, Mr. Roosevelt said Government must eliminate abuse where private initiative failed to do so. He said the large majority of business men had accepted ‘certain necessary supervision” of private business. “The voters throughout the country should remember that need for continuous liberal government when they vote next Tuesday,” he said in charging that broken continuity interrupted progress. Too many persons, he added, talk of saving democracy but really desire only to save things as they were. From Chicago came a parallel accusation by Earl Browder, leader of American Communists, that former President Hoover was a representative of fascism and that the elements fighting the New Deal represented the forces that brought the peace of Munich. At Walla Walla, Wash., former President Hoover said he wouid make a real and genuine reply to the Fascist label put on the oldline Republica by Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Browder in his radio speech at Spokane tonight. A new and unexplored election issue was proposed in dispatches from Germany quoting the newspaper Der Angriff which spread across its front page a charge that the visit of His Eminence George Cardinal Mundelein to the Pape today was part of an “election deal.” The paper argued that 21 million American Catholics would decide Tuesday's election here and that Mr. Roosevelt had won them with a promise to re-establish diplomatic relations with the Holy See broken off in 1845. “Mundelein, the dictator-devourer and incidentally clgse friend of Mr. Roosevelt,” said Der Angriff, “hopes to bridge the last gap in the negotiations.”

Ickes Joins Roosevelt

Issues closer home included the plea of Mr. Roosevelt seconded by Interior Secretary Ickes, in Pennsylvania, and by others that the United States is the strongest if not the last bulwark of democracy. They warned that retreat from New Deal liberalism would raise fascism and communism to significant heights here. But Mr. Roosevelt assured the nation last night that as of today neither is a real threat. “The voters throughout the country,” he said last night, “should remember that need for continuous liberal governmené when they vote next Tuesday. “But,” he warned, “if there should be any weakening of the power of a liberal Government next Tuesday, it would resurrect false hopes on the part of some businessmen, now beginning to change antiquated ideas, that if they can hold out a little longer, no adaptation to change will be necessary.” Republicans campaigned generally on a prosperity issue and Mr. Roosevelt countered with the assertion that under the New Deal the United States has enjoyed “a more stable and less artificial prosperity than any other nation in the world.”

“No Threat Now”

“I reject,” he continued, “the merely negative purposes proposed by old-line Republicans and Communists alike—for they are people whose only purpose is to survive against any other Fascist threat than their own. “As of today, fascism and communism—and old-line Tory Republicans—are not-threats to the continuation of our form of government. “But I venture the challenging statement that if American democracy ceases to move forward as a living force, seeking day and night by peaceful means to better the lot of our citizens, fascism and <ommunism, aided, unconsciously perhaps, by old-line tory Republicanism will grow in strength.” Mr. Roosevelt’s unusual and em-

prevent a damaging midterm shift of political power. In New York, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and other politically vital industrial areas there has been poll and survey indication of a Republican upturn. But its extent and political significance cannot be measured until the tabulation shows which side has won the big gubernatorial jobs and how many Democratic seats in Congress have been delivered to Republicans.

Roosevelt Ignores Thomas

Republican charges of Democratic registration frauds roiled New Jersey politics. Norman Thomas, Socialist leader, sought to speak last night in Jersey City, of which Frank Hague is Mayor, but the meeting permit was cancelled by municipal officials. Mr. Thomas demanded of Mr. Roosevelt whether he would support William H. J. Ely, nominated by New Jersey Democrats of whom Mayor Hague is the leader, for United States Senator. Mr. Roosevelt ignored the question. But Assistant Navy Secretary Charles Edison went home to New Jersey last night to tell voters that “Mr. Ely and President Roosevelt see alike.” There were scattered reports from coast to coast of division among labor leaders in choice between Democratic and Republican candidates but no conclusive demonstration that the phalanx of privates in the ranks has been broken either by the Republican charge or the 1937-38 depression and continued unemployment. Pensions promises echoed from coast to coast. Pre-election indications were that local candidates of all parties were about ‘equally eager to get on the various band wagons driven by the aged. Governor Philip La Follette, candidate in Wisconsin for re-election as leader of his new National Progressive Party, is the latest among the pension campaighers. He directly asked aged pensioners to vote for him and repeated promises of incrased pension aid.

TUITION FROM MINE BUTTE, Mont, To make enough money during the summer to attend the Montana School of Mines, Max Rudin of Costa Rica, Ralph Robideau of Portland, Ore., George Johnson of Kevin and Jerry Jarrard of Spokane leased an old gold mine. They extracted 200 tons of ore which assayed from $40 to $70 per ton, the royalities from which enabled them to continue their mining courses.

DOG RESCUE WORK IS HALTED BY RAIN

CLARKSBURG, W. Va, Nov. 5 (U. P.).—If Sport, the Spelter “community dog,” is still alive in the mine sink hole that has imprisoned him 17 days, he must wait another 24 hours before 1escue workers break through the rock that holds him. Cold rains beat down on the crew of men that has been toiling night and day for more than two weeks to save Sport, their pet, a brown and white beagle hound. They said they could not sink a shaft to the point where Sport is believed lying before Sunday. Using a hose and bellows, the miner-rescue workers pumped fresh air into the fissure in which Sport was trapped.

Fighters Disband

‘State Forester. ‘Hershell Woods, who directed fire' fighters from

headquarters at Columbus, said if the rain continued it would completely extinguish the fires that were whipped out of control yesterday.

The main body of fire fighters,

composed of Civillan Conservation Corps enrollees, state foresters and farmers, disbanded last night when the deluge struck.

One of the fires near Hindustan, blown by shifting winds, trapped four CCC

workers who had attempted to gini

head off flames spreading in another direction. They were saved

a few minutes later when rain started falling.

They were part of a crew of 20 who had been fighting the fire since

it broke out early yesterday.

Saved by Rain

Headed by Ivan Perkins, crew

foreman, the men left the main

group and crossed the fire lane in an attempt to head off the fire,

which was spreading in another direction,

Others in the crew were ‘Sam Bryant, Carl Glover and Francis Waldon. When they had been missing more than an hour, their companions set up shouts to guide them to safety, but to no avail. Then the flames died down as a drenching rain started falling, and a few minutes later the trapped youths emerged from the blackened woods, unhurt. Wild life suffered ‘heavy losses in the fire regions. Sections hardest hit were Harrison and Union Townships in Bartholomew County, where 3000 acres were destroyed, and Monroe and Morgan Counties.

News Fires Threaten

Fires also had heen raging near Mooresville, Monrovia, Hindustan, Rattsville, Paragon, Fredericksburg, Orangeville, Campbellsburg, Tunnelton, ‘Williams, Columbus, Brooklyn, Mahalsville, Ogilville, Mitchell, Bowling Green, Montezuma and Bloomington. Eugene Wilson, ‘assistant State forester, warned that the danger of new fires breaking out is not past. “Most of the fires seem to be out or under control,” Mr, Wilson said, “and I think we'll be all right for a day or two. “But if we get more sunshine, the ground and trees will dry out, and will again become highly inflammable.” For this reason, he said motorists should continue to exercise care in throwing cigarets and matches from auto windows, and farmers should not light brush fires where they can spread.
