HILLIS EX-FOES STUMP STATE

IN HIS BEHALF!

Jenner on Brownstown Pro- |!

By LOWELL B. NUSSBAUM

Candidates who opposed Glen R. Hillis for the Governor nomination in a bitter State G. O. P. Convenhon Et last May will enter the campaign in behal . Hillis this a Por State Senator William E. Jenner of Shoals, who ran a close second to Mr. Hillis on the first ballot at the convention, will forget the old factional fight and make his first campaign speech for the state ticket at Brownstown, Ind. Friday night.

“Judge James A. Emmert of Shel- |; byville, who was third in the Gov- |:

ernor nomination contest, will speak in behalf of Mr. Hillis at Greenfield tomorrow night. ;

‘David I. Hogg of Pt. Wayne, an- |}

other Governor candidate defeated

by Mr. Hillis, will speak at Bippus|[

Wednesday night. . Other candidates who opposed the hominee, Clarence Benadum of Muncie and George R. Jeffrey of Indianapolis, will enter the speaking campaign later.

Raps Tax Rate

-Mr. Hillis has accused Governor Townsend of “breaking faith with the people” in his failure to reduce the 15-cent state tax rate. “For the eighth consecutive year the Democratic state administration has broken its solemnly given promise to reduce property taxes,” Mr. Hillis said. | “The State Treasury Board, of which the Governor is the chief,’ fixed the 15-cent rate last Friday,

“This is the only place where the Governor can lower the | property tax rate,” Mr. Hillis said. | “It was & golden opportunity for the administration to redeem at least one of the promises but, with the usual disregard for the people, ithe rate again was fixed at 15 cents and again the taxpayer is let down.”

or public power districts should retail the electricity. Only 40 miles from giant Bonneville Dam, tremendous $87,000,000 project on the Columbia River, Mr. Willkie said that since the Federal Government has invested “some 270 million dollars in the development of Bonneville and Grand Coulee Dams, it seems inconceivable that anyone would suggest that these projects should not be completed.” : Leave It to the People The people in Oregon and other states within “transmission distance of these projects,” the Republican | nominee continued, ‘should determine how they wish the power | aistributed, whether through existling distribution systems municipally or privately owned. | “Whatever the method of distribution, ‘this great | reservoir of cheap power should be used for the industrial development of the great Northwest and to provide domestic {and rural users of electricity their | requirements at the lowest possible {rates,” he said in a speech re- | leased in advance of delivery. | He said the Federal Government “has an obligation in the matter of {developing projects for navigation, flood control and irrigation.” -

Pleased at Reception

As he reached Portland, Mr. Will- | kie had covered approximately 4500 ‘miles in 11 states on his first formal campaign tour, and had been | greeted by crowds which he said convinced him that they would ‘never allow democracy to fail nor ‘permit the “doctrines of total|itarianism” to take over. | | Bonneville is an important New | Deal project, but President Roose- | velt in signing the bill for its con- | struction several years ago gave Mr. { Willkie’s running mate, Senator | Charles L.

Urges Aid to Britain

Continued American aid tg Great Britain was urged by Mr. Willkie Saturday night in his San Francisco speech, . “We must send, and we must] keep sending aid to Britain, our | | first line of defense, and our only remaining friend,” he said. . “In the Pacific our best ends will be served by a free, strong and democratically. progressive China and we should render China economic assistance to that end. “I favor exploring the acquisition and development of Pacific air bases for the protection of our interests in that ocean. “I favor the building of a defense system adequate to protect our soil from aggression from any quarter— 'a defense system: so strong that | none will ever dare to strike.” | The nominee claimad that the Roosevelt Administration “has contributed to the downfall of Ameri“1 charge,” he

I have, standing as it were by my side, speaking, I would almost say, my own words, the man who above all others stands forth | today as the defender of democracy and freedom on this earth. This man said in 1937. less than a year after Mr. Roosevelt was inaugurated a second time: * “There is one way above all others in which the United States |can aid the European democracies.

whirlwind tour through San Francisco topped off by a talk at night to an overflow audience that could not get into the hall. Nor did he devote himself entirely to rest yesterday traveling through northern California and Oregon. Though refraining from any political speeches, he showed himself at several stops where crowds had. gathered from far in the back country and spoke a few words of greeting and shook hands over the back platform rail. The. vaudeville trouper - goes through a regular routine, doing the same thing over. and over. Mr. Willkie's job is far more strenuous. His is an impromptu performance, except for the major speeches, with a slightly different arrangement and emphasis before varying groups. Forever, there is the whine of police sirens and the cheering of thousands of people. There probably has been nothing just like it in American politics, unless it were that barnstorming tour

Some of Mr. Willkie’s friends, however, have become concerned over the very demanding schedule he has set himself which, as planned, calls for a continuation of | the barnstorming type of campaign from now until the election. A crowd lifts and inspires him and he gives himself wholly at each appearance. He spoke, for instance, nearly half an hour to a crowd of | 500 which gathered about his train | at the tiny town of Vaughn, N. M. The apparent slump in his fortunes, as indicated by the Gallup Poll, only has whetted his desire to give everything he has in what he regards as a crusade to preserve American democracy. He has the
