OWN PLATFORM
:Nine Planks Are Included In. Proposed ‘Program Of G. 0. P. Candidate.
Judge James A. Emmert; Shelby-| Republican
_ ville, candidate for "nomination as governor, taday is- - :sued: a printed platform, moting 8s “he did so that any candidate’ is _ bound to the|platform adopted by
"the Republican State Convention. Judge Emmert said that he be-
- lieves the voters are entitled tof
"know what any candidate for Gov=-
.ernor recommends on State issues.;
‘The platform fomprises nine planks. * They ‘are: = =} Destroy the “Indiana Gang” which, he says, has been “vicious, ruthless, greedy and ungrateful to gld-line Jeffersonian Democrats. 2. Furnish free school textbooks. ~ - 3. Make the purchase date for iio license plates July 1 rather “than Jan. 1, so that the additional “expense ~ will'| not - fall at holiday s time and in a|season when costs are “up. ; * 4, Return tire tax to truck owners. “We owe a moral duty to thousands * of ‘truck owners who paid their tire ‘tax when othérs did not, to refund the ‘$650,000 : which the State col- * lected from those who paid. Noncommercial trucks not operating as ‘contract carriers or tommon carriers “should have this tax reduced.” 5. Get 100 cents of value for every 81 spent on highways. 6. A 25 per cent reduction in the Gross Income Tax to retailers, without adding to ‘the property, real estate or personal taxes and without taking away from school income. 7. Abolishment of the liquor im2 ‘porter. system, with. a consequent increase in the revenue fo the In- , diana General Fund, 8. A 25 per cent cut in state. payrolls and a 25 per cent reduction in . the expenses of State government. 9. Decentralization of government as it affects penal and charitable institutions, | the right of elected officials to- hire their own deputies and ‘help, retention of township - government, and the control of state highways in| cities.
Value of Women In. Politics Cited The Republican Party realizes}: that a large measure of its future success rests with the American - womanhood, Maurice G. Robinson, -Anderson, 11th: District’ Congressional candidate, told the Irvington -Women’s © Republican = Club last : night. : “The American woman of today is better informed and more fully equipped to assume the responsi‘bility of citizenship than the woman of any other nation of the world,” he said. “It was the American housewife who first realized the significance of the machine age, for, in the last 20 years, the time required for the average housewife to perform all her duties has been reduced from 14 to five hours a day. This means the housewife of today can properly caré for her family .and: yet find

The Gallup Poll Shows—

PRINCETON, N. J. April 17— Kansas, which went Democratic in 1936 even though it was the home state of Alf M. Landon, shows signs of returning to the Republican fold in a state-wide survey by the lnstitute. The trend away from the Democrats there has been so sharp that, in any political dope sheet, Kansas would have to be listed &s a Republican state at tnis time.

The Missouri results indicate that there has ‘been some shift of sentiment away from the Democrats, but not a large shift. - Roosevelt carried the state four years ago with 61 per cent of the major party vote—or 3 per cent more than the present Democratic percentage.in the survey. In 1938 the Democratic vote cast for Congressmen in the state was 59 per cent, and for Senator (Bennett Clark) 61 per cent.
In Kansas, however, the shift away from the Democratic Party has been dramatic. Roosevelt carried the state in 1936 with 54 .per cent. crats were in the minority in the voting for Governor, Senator and Congressmen, polling 44 per cent in the Senatorial race, and only 41 per cent in the Congressional bal|loting. ‘The present Democratic strength—44 per cent in the Institute survey—is a full 10 points below the Democratic vote in 1936. A sharp difference of sentiment in Kansas and Missouri on the third term for President was found in the study. In Kansas, 63. per | cent of voters polled said they would vote against President Roosevelt for a third term. In Missouri, on the other hand, a small majority (53 per cent) said they would vote for him. :

ity and higher standards of living for all classes, but I want it to come by the route of increased production and regular expansion of business, instead ‘of through government subsidy.” Mr. Stark said he beileves in social security, but does not favor its “group and class discrimina~ tion.” “If it is good for employees of big corporations,” he asked, “why is it not good for lawyers, doctors, social workers, domestic servants and agricultural workers?” - Speaking at the same meeting, Glenn W. Funk, Republican can-

‘Asks Jobs for Youth
“Communism will have no appeal to the youth of today,” Mr. Fund said, “if public officials" join with. other agencies in extending constructive . help and aissistance in solving the all-important American
{youth problem.
“This problem will not be met by mere words and phrases, however. We have got to do something about: it. One of the crying needs,
{for example, is gainful employment.
These young people want jobs and we have got to see that they are at least given the opportunity for gainful employment. “Restitution ‘of the. opportunity for employment. is one- of the greatest needs today—something that the American youth has not had under these Democratic times. I:don’t believe that the world owes every man a living, but I do believe that the world owes every man an opportunity to get a job.”
Hit by Richardson
The New Deal ‘administration in Marion County has forfeited its right to continue by the character
‘lof its government in the last seven
years, Russell I. Richardson, Republican candidate for Prosecutor, told the Irvington Women’s Republican Club last night. “Jt has fathered and condoned ‘the open saloon, while pretending to prevent forever, its return to Indiana,” he ‘said. “It has devised a’ form of political extortion in the Two Per Cent Club, and refuses to report its doings. It has borne down upon the taxpayer, while promising economy in government. “It has allowed to grow up and thiive and go virtually unpunished a hundred forms of political rackets that enrich themselves at the expense of the poor arfdimeedy. These conditions strike at the root of our character both. in” individuals and in government. » Every city, county and state is judged by the acts and conduct of its public officials, Otto W. Petit, Republican candidate for Sheriff, said at the same meeting. “Every public - spirited citizen would like to point with pride to the fact that the city in ‘which he lives is one to be proud of,” he said “By voting into office people who entertain the same ideals, Indianapolis will. be a wonderful place where parents may educate and give their. children the proper training as they grow to manhood and womanhood. “I realize that public safety programs are essential to any community. However, a sheriff should also be well versed in the enforcement of law which is also the protection of life and property.”
Owens Urges Tariff Wall for Farmer
© The American farmer is entitled to an adequate tariff on agricultural products, Ernest E. Owens, Republican candidate for the 12th District congressional nomination, said in a political talk at 46 W. 24th St. last night. “The. reciprocal | trade treaty policy has worked to the disadvantage of the American farmer,” he “It should be modified immediately. No tariff on any product should be reduced below the cost of production here and abroad.”

\BOSSERT WARNS OF
WAR PROPAGANDA
Times Special MUNCIE, Ind. April 17.—Walter F. Bossert, Liberty attorney, warned here last night “that Americans should guard themselves against British propaganda which will flood this country in an effort to force America inta the European conflict.” “With the. grave economic crisis which now faces this country,” he said, “Americans should forget ‘Europe and turn their. energies toward solving this problem before it dissolves Americans.” “I do not accuse the Administration of attempting to turn the eyes of America toward Europe and away from problems at home, but I must say that there is an awful lot of talk about Europe emanating from Washington. “Do not let -the British and French fool you, and do not let Washington take your eyes off the crucial situation which exists in America today.” !
