Physicians Indorse Booher

Dr. Norman Booher, who was not slated in the Democratic coroner contest, launched a campaign appeal to the voters today on the ground that he is “not running on a political platform.” “The fact that I have not been placed On any slate ought to be indicative that I am not a politician,” he said at a meeting of Physicians at the Indianapolis Athletic Club last night. About 60 physicians, attending the meeting, indorsed Dr. Booher's for the coroner nomination.

Reiley Raps Boss Rule

William E. Reiley, an unslated G. O. P. candidate for Prosecutor, in & speech last night at 1258 W. Washington St, attackefi boss rule in politics. “The people resent any group, whether officially selected or arbitrarily set up to select their office holders,” he said. “It may seem a small thing to attempt to control a county election, but if the abuses are allowed to creep into the smallest unit of government, they may spread to the state and nation.” Referring to several removals of G. O. P. ward chairmen, Mr. Reiley said: “The Republican State Central rules provide that ward chairmen shall be appointed by the county chairman subject to the precinct | committeemen’s approval. The) rules provide that the ward chairmen shall be appointed to serve un-

Young Democrats Head Out For Secretary of State Nomination.

Robert L. Tilton, 3630 N. Meridian St., president of the Indiana Young Democrats, today announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for Secretary of State.

Mr. Tilton is head of the State Oil Inspection Division. He is organizer and was first president of the Benton County Young Democratic Club.

Mr. Tilton said he was running for nomination because he felt the 1940 State ticket should include a representative of the Young Democrats. He praised the Young Democrats for working “enthusiastically and unselfishly” during three campaigns, and said they had contributed much to the success of the Democrat party, both in ideas and in party work. Mr. Tilton, whose home is at Fowler, Ind, advanced in Young Democcratic ranks to Second District Chairman and in 1938 was elected State president. He hamed Richard Wall of Rochester, Ind, as his campaign manager.

‘No Punishment’ Meant

In a speech before Democratic war veterans yesterday, Chairman Haymaker said the “County Committee wished to punish no one” in selection of a slate of candidates. “The Committee is interested in| only one thing—the success of the Democratic Party next November,” he said. At the same meeting, State Democratic Chairman Fred F. Bays pre- | dicted that “Marion County will} go Democratic next November by at least 30,000.” The 1938 majority in Marion County ranged between T7000 and 13,000. Meanwhile a scheduled meeting of State House employees yesterday to pick a slate was canceled at the last minute without explanation. It was reported that the Governor'’s office may have advised against it since Governor Townsend recently said “no pressure would be put on State employees in the Primary.”

Extend Social Security, Erbecker Urges

City, County, State and Federal employees should participate in Social Security benefits, Williams C. Erbecker, candidate for the 12th District Democratic congressional nomination, said last night. Speaking at a dance given in his honor by the Colored Erbecker-for-Congress Club at 447 Indiana Ave, Mr. Erbecker said he would support legislation to continue the WPA for all worthy people regardless of race, creed or color.

Holmes Asks Fitness, Not

‘Finesse’ Be Required

Ira M. Holmes, Republican candidate for Prosecutor, declared fitness for office, not “political finesse,” should be the determining factor in selecting public officials. in a talk last night at 1739 Northwestern Ave. “I can point with pride to a record of 35 years of practical experince in handling criminal cases,” he said, “and I can boast of the fact that I was practicing law before some of my opponents were out of grade schools. “I am not ‘heiling’ any political bosses within the party to gain votes, but am leaving it entirely to the voters to pick a man who knows what should be done to clean house

man and Mr. Moore were not on the other slate. COUNTY COMMISSIONER— First District: Herbert Wadsworth, same as the other group; Second District, William August Brown. Amos Stevens was slated by the other group. Republicans indorsed were: Congress— 11th District: Alvah C. Waggoner; Congress, 12th District, Ernest E. Owens both the same as the other slate. STATE SENATOR: Robert Lee Brokenburr who was not on the other slate. Only one was listed. STATE REPRESENTATIVES: Alvah Baxter, Robert E. Brown, J. Otto Lee, Robert B. Schuyler, Lawrence Shaw and Jeanette Gipe Thienes. All were on the A. F. of L. slate except Mr. Brown. SHERIFF: Otto W Petit. other slate listed Jesse Hutsell. PROSECUTOR: Glenn W. Funk. The other group indorsed Sherwood Blue and Jack Tilson. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS — First District: George E. Kincaid; Second District, Harry D. Hatfield, same as the other slate.

All Will Be Served, Petit Promises

A pledge to serve all sections of the City and County was made by Otto W. Pstit, Republican candidate for Sheriff, in a talk last night at a party meeting at Harrison and Jackson Sts. “When you go to the polls, as you soon will, taking advantage of your American rights, cast your ballots for those you believe will serve with credit, and in so doing every community will be proud of your

The

Speedway and Beech Grove City Hall Quarters Arranged For.

The County's first two magistrate courts, created by Circuit Court order yesterday, will be set up immediately in Beech Grove and

Speedway City. Edward McElfresh, Democratic magistrate, said he was preparing to open an office at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway grounds this afternoon. Ira M. Holmes, Republican magistrate, said he will open his court in the City Hall of Beech Grove probably today or tomorrow.

Both magistrates said the courts would operate on a part-time schedule to be announced later. Two deputy county clerks will be assigned to the courts and deputy prosecutors will be assigned as needed.

The two judicial officers will serve in the county outside Indianapolis and will have jurisdiction in criminal cases, chiefly traffic, involving penalties up to six months in jail and $500 fines. Their jurisdiction will be concurrent with that of Indianapolis Municipal Courts.

The appointment of the two men, made upon a petition under the 1939 Magistrates Court Act, divests Justices of the Peace, in townships outside the city, of jurisdiction in traffic cases. The magistrates will serve without pay for a trial period to determine the need for such courts.

Lewis Urges Reduction

In State Bureaus

John O. Lewis, Republican candidate for State Senator nomination, urged reduction in the number of bureaus and employees in the State

government in speeches at several meetings last night. “Since the present administration came into power it has been its apparent policy to create a vicious political machine without regard to the taxpayers,” he said. “Business in Indiana has been suppressed and stifled through taxation to such an extent that business leaders are fearful of branching out and increasing their activities.”

Lane Denounces ‘School Book Racket’

Advocating free school books for children, Ernest T. Lane, G .O. P. candidate for State Representative, denounced the “present school book racket program” in addressing a party rally last night at 689 Virginia Ave. “It is time that we put a stop to this school book racket in Indiana and save Hoosier parents millions of dollars in the cost of new books every time some radical educator gets a new theory for a new ook,” Mr. Lane said.

BOYS WILL GET LIFE SENTENCE MONDAY

CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. May 3 (U. P.).—Thomas A. Boys of Attica, convicted rape-slayer of 11-year-old Elizabeth DeBruicker last July, will be sentenced to life imprisonment in the state penitentiary next Monday by Judge Edgar A. Rice. Boys was found guilty yesterday by a Montgomery Circuit Court jury which deliberated 23 hours. The swagger and lack of emotion which marked Boys during the trial did not desert him after the verdict was announced. He sneered at the jury's decision saying: “I'd rather gotten the chair. Do you think I want to spend the rest of my life in prison?” “When the lawyers and doctors said I was crazy, they were all wrong,” Boys continued. Then resorting to braggadocio he added that “I was up for a crime that there aren't many like it committed.”

Blue Promises Aid To Delinquents

Sherwood Blue, Republican candidate for Prosecutor, promised to co-operate fully with all law enforcement agencies in addressing the Wayne Club last night. “Many of our young, taking their first false step, can be saved for society and become decent, lawabiding citizens through the proper co-operation of the Prosecutor’s office,” Mr. Blue said. “As Prosecuting Attorney I shall strive to enforce constitutional codes that provide ‘justice administered freely and without purchase; completely and without denial; speedily, and with= out delay’.”

Eleven organizations have filed consents of primary candidates to the use of their names on party slates. The consents, filed with the County Board of Election Commis sioners, were taken from virtually every candidate on both party tickets. The consents are required

under the election laws before slates can be printed and distributed at the polls on primary day. The marion County Democratic Central Committee, filed consents from every candidate for Congress and the various Jegislative and county offices. Two separate groups of consents were filed by Republicans, one by the official Marion County Republican Campaign Committee, and another by the Republican Builders, Inc. a group. led by James L. Bradford, who is opposing County Chairman Carl Vandivier for reelection. Filing of consents of all candidates gives the organization, the oppertunity to select its own slate from the list of consents without “showing its hand” prior to primary day. Other organizations which sub-

mitted consents were Labor's Nonpartisan League of Marion County, the Indiana Independent Barbers’ Association, the Roosevelt Democrats, the Workers Nonpartisan Political League, the Democratic Colored Voters League, the Perry Township Committeeman’s Organization, the United Colored Nonpartisan Association and Primary News, Inc.

Funk Scores Record

Of Prosecutions

Criminals must be impressed with the certainty of vigorous prosecution if bandits, burglars and petty thieves are to be held in check. Glenn W. Funk; Republican candidate for Prosecutor, said in a campaign talk last night at 629 Virginia Ave.

Mr. Funk charged that the city has become a “mecca for smalltime thieves and robbers.” He also asserted that too few convictions are obtained. “Out of 265 cases of offenses against property rights that were brought in the Criminal Court in

the!

1939,” Mr. Funk said, “only 87 were tried and of these only 57 resulted in convictions. Fifty-one times the defendants were released when the charges against them were dismissed by the Prosecutor.”

Return to ‘American Form,” Collins Asks

James A. Collins, candidate for the 12th District Republican Congressional nomination, told a 12th Ward G. O. P. rally last night that “we are drifting “away from the American form of government.” He urged a “return to Constitutional government” and the preservation of peace. “As we face the facts in reviewing the last seven years,” he said, “we must admit that much of our legislative enactments do not square with the Constitution.”
