VANDIVIER BIDS FOR SUPPORT

Issues 8 - Point Program Rapping ‘Boss Rule’ County G. 0. P.

Marion County Republican Chairman Carl Vandivier today issued a statement, outlining an eight-point program of majority rule principles he said he intends to enforce as organization leader in the Primary next Tuesday. The statement follows: “The rank and file of the Republicans of Marion County, in my opinion, are going to decide at the

party, or majority rule “For many years, the party was ruled by one man. Since my election two years ago, I have worked unceasingly to bring about majority rule. Unfortunately, the issue in our organization scrap has centered around two individuals. This is not the real issue in this scrap. Individuals should not be the issue. | Principles, ideals and methods are, and should be, the true issues. Personally, I am interested much more in the right ideals, principles and methods prevailing than I am in seeing that I, as an individual, be re-elected County Chairman.

The latest deb to be crowned

is Betty Provost (above), of Garden City, L. I, selected for her “classic combination of features, figure and charm.” She's the choice of committee of artists and other beauty experts.

Opposes “Boss Rule” “If IT am to be intrusted with the leadership of the party for two more years, it must be because of the principles for which I stand. My

views, and the views of my sup- | porters, are as follows: | “1. We are opposed to boss rule’

of the party in Marion County. “2, We are opposed to last-minute indor sement of candidates by a boss | “3. We are opposed to bi-partisan] | Republicans being intrusted with

figures showing population decreases in three Madison County towns and increases in three. He said that the figures were | preliminary and subject to cor- | rection. He asked that all persons who had not enumerated get in touch with him so that he might revise the figures. Lapel, which had a population | of 1079 in 1920 and 1140 in 1930, | fell back to 1097 this year, he | said. Summittville dropped irom | 1017 in 1930 to 989 this year and Frankton fell from a 1930 count of 829 to 820 this year. Towns showing gains were Edgewood (Madison County), unincorporated in 1930, which had 204 this vear; Woodland Heights, which rose from 19 to 60, and Ingalls, which gained from 430 to 442.
