Mr. Haymaker called a series of conferences for precinct and ward | leaders for every night this week | and next “to outline some new organization work.” “Organization workers of wards will meet each night instructions will be outlined for the | most drastic campaign work the party has attempted in many years,” | Mr. Haymaker said. The necessity for broader campaign tactics was admitted by par ty leaders this year because of near-defeat in 1938 and the oe that the number of Democratic | voters in primary here last May | was about 10,000 less than two years ago while the Republicans brought out about 15,000 more than they counted in 1938. There were reports that there would be some shakeups among the ward chairmen before the campaign opens in September “to bolster the weak spots.” The impending changes in ward chairmen, however, were described as having no connection with the factional scrap over the county chairmanship last May

Schricker Gets 3000 Letters

More than 3000 letters have been received by Lieut. Gov. Henry F.| Schricker for Governor month ago. “Most of them, of course, were congratulatory but on the other hand there were scores of requests for donations, jobs and solicitations of all kinds.” he said. “I guess #a candidate must expect those things.”

Democrats Stress Jobs

One of the biggest campaign talking points the Democrats are planning to stress this fall is that business and jobs are on the inorease Democratic leaders this week were distributing literature showing that Indiana farmers received $882,000 more income in 1938 than in,1938 “Every business report you see shows a continuing uptrend—the people are not going to change administrations at the polls this vear,” said County Chairman Ira Haymaker
