Chief Moss Gets Fire Post —Not a Ballot Challenged

The election of Battalion Chief Phillip Moss as Fire Pension Fund trustee today had the official okay of Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan. The Mayor counted the votes himself. Although it is true that the count went on by spurts and stops and the Mayor (had some help, everything came out all right in the end.

The Mayor demonstrated that he still knows a few things about ballots, even with a staff of assistants checking up on him. The ballots were: counted in the presence and with the aid of Fred W. Heaton, Fund secretary; Russell E. Campbell, the Mayor’s secretary, and Mrs. Bertha Meyers, deputy City Clerk. Considerable confusion handi- |Z capped ballot counting as taxpayers, ials (and curious persons er ort in and out of the anteroom which served as central ballot counting headquarters. When the tabulation was finished, the Mayor decided that a recount wasn’t necessary since Chief Moss had polled more votes than all the other candidates put together. To make the thing airtight, however, it was decided to cross check the ballots to see if they tallied with the total number of men in the Fire Department. The only difficulty in this kind of a check was that no one knew exactly how many men there were in the Fire Department. So they totaled the vote by fire stations and it came out right—to everybody's surprise. . Chief Moss led by 298 yotes out of a total of 554 cast. He will assume office immediately since. his term expired Jan. 1. Other candidates for trustee included Capt. Hallie Scherer, Capt. Joseph Wilhelm, Capt. Oscar Hubp, Capt. Frank Quinn, Capt. Orville Marshall and chauffeur Karl Kloepper.

Court House CrowdsDo Tell

The main floor of the Court House has taken, ‘on many aspects of the Grand Central Station. It's

crowded with hurrying people and tor 750 new ballot boxes and elec-|

groups hunched in coriferences. The corridor is like this from carly morning until late in the afternoon. It's the regular prolog to a primary election in- Indiana. Focal point is just ‘outside the office where candidates file their petitions and declarations of candidacy for the 'primary, which is a six weeks away. There, ps - precinct workers, office ‘holders and persons iy ing to pave the to a job afte the election sit on tables and s their legs.

‘Some appear to have stopped ol

only because of the crowd. Others, who shake their fingers decisively for or against a candidate or issue, stand for hours along the walls. Every time a candidate steps up to the counter and asks for a blank, the groups shift positions to peer suspiciously through the door. “Who's that?” “7’ll bet that’'s———, He's going out SERINE in the 13th. of e » As soon'as the candidate leaves, a self-appointed “runner” (trying to look as though it was some of his business) casually walks over and looks at the candidate’s signature before it’s had time to dry. Then he bustles out to tell the news. Meanwhile, Room 34 is jammed with voters checking their registra tion fo make sure they can cast a ballot in May.

On the other side of the hall, County officials hurry about election business. ‘County Commissioners open bids

tion booths, which will have to be delivered as quickly as possible. Election Board members confer with other officials about ballots, obtain money for tables to use in the counting and call on printers to rush the election signs. ; Then there are the attorneys, who find it difficult to press through the jam on their way to and from the courts upstairs.
