NEW ALBANY, Ind, March 29
(U. P).—Judge James A. Emmert
of Shelbyville, Ind., a candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, last night charged that the Democrats were using vaudeville attractions to prevent discussion of grave issues brought on by a prolonged World War depression. He referred to entertainers campaigning the state with Fred F. Bayes, state Democratic chairman. Judge Emmert asked “why the principles of Thomas Jefferson were not followed, why the old line Democrats were flattened out in every state convention, why the real workers of the party have been forgotten and why we have had the dou-ble-barreled Two Per Cent Club raising our costs of government hundreds of thousands of dollars every year?”.
