Automotive engineers have dressed up the 1941 models with a multitude of new devices to save time and labor and increase safety. For instance, Studebaker for 1941 has curved the rear bumper tips
to protect fenders in tight traffic.
Gravel guards protect the body.
Many of the new Buicks have lights in the base of the driver's seat, which turn on when either front door is opened.

Bobbitt Assails Democrats, Pp DEMOCRATS! Charges New Fraud Method
i Letter Purportedly
From Road Aid Asking For $3.50.
| Arch N.- Bobbitt, Republican state chairman. charged today that state Democratic leaders are “leaving no Stone unturned to hike their slush | fund.” The Indiana attorney general's jopinion that employees in the State ‘Highway Commission's maintenance | division are not subject to Hatch
Act provisions, he said, has opened |
'the way to a new nique.” “With the bars let down by the {attorney general's opinion,” he asserted, “bosses and supervisors in the State Administration are 'shaking down employee after employee in the State Government to add to
{the huge campaign chest already | piled up in the notorious ‘Two Per Cent Club.’ He accompanied this statement (with a reproduction of a letter pur|portedly signed by a Highway Commission subdistrict superintendent asking an employee for a contributlon of $3.50. A guard at the Indiana State Reformatory, he said, “had $5 taken from his pay check and then was given a receipt for his ‘voluntary contribution.” At the same time, Mr. Bobbitt added, the guard was handed a.receipt for his $2 monthly dues to the Two Per Cent Club. The state chairman said an Anderson newspaper revealed recently
“racket tech-
been *‘nicked 3 per cent of a year's salary for the county campaign fund and a half of 1 per cent of a
Creek Township, Madison County. All this is in addition to their regular contribution through the Mec-Nutt-McHale-Elder ‘Two Per cent Club.”

Speaking on the same platform, Secretary of State James M. ‘Tucker pleaded for the election of a Republican Legislature. “All the promises and pledges made by Mr. Hillis and the state candidates for reforms in our government will avail nothing if they do not have a Republican Legislature to. back them up,” he said. “A Republican General Assembly will correct the evils that have found their way into our governmental structure under the actions 6f subservient legislators of the past seven years.” On Road to War, Says Willis Raymond E.
