~ 8-YEAR RECORD IN STATE THEME OF DEMOCRATS
Speakers Compare Conditions Today With Those Of G. 0. P. Regime.
By NOBLE REED A political birds-eye view of Indiana now, compared to conditions in the state eight years ago, comprised the theme of Democratic speakers last night and today.
Lieut. Gov. Henry Schricker, Democratic Governor candidate, speaking at Batesville - last night, declared that property tax levies this year were lower in every county in the state than in 1932. “This tax decrease on property has been brought about through the use of so-called replacement taxes, collected by the state and sent back to local communities to be used in lieu of local property taxes,” he said. Cites Fair Management
Mr. Schricker declared that tax receipts from all sources under the last two Republican administrations totaled more than one billion dollars while collections during the Democratic - administrations since
1932 totaled $962,000,000. : Anderson Ketchum, Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, speaking at Galveston, said the Democratic administration's policies in handling the State Fair “had placed the event on a paying basis.” “This year is the first In the history of the Fair that itthas been unnecessary for the Legislature to appropriate money to retire outstand"ing bonds,” he said. He declared that the net profit for the eight-year period pefore 1933 was about $6000 a year while the net profit during the last eighty years under the Democratic administra= tions averaged about $44,000 a year.
Compares Living Conditions
Mrs. Olive Belden Lewis of Indianapolis, speaking at Lyons last night, compared the “chaos and confusion in which the nation lived prior to 1933 with the prosperity and improved conditions under which we live today.” “The onts of the United States were more ripe for dictatorship in the winter of 1932 than they have ever been in their history,” she said. “During the last three years of the Hoover Administration there were 1072 bank failures while for six years of the Roosevelt Administration, 1934 through 1939, there were 14 bank failures and in these banks all deposit accounts up to $5000 were insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. ; Mrs. Inez Scholl, Democratic candigate for Supreme Court Reporter, speaking at Winamac, said the New Deal's surpius - commodities act saved the nation’s farmers from | ruin. Give Willkie Example «The farmer would be unable to continue his work unless some of the surplus was absorbed by restriction of growing or provisions of the surplus commodities act,” she said. She said Republican Presidential Nominee Willkie “is receiving benefits from the AAA himself. The Government will pay him approximately $3400 this year. If the farm program is good enough for that ‘farmer’ it’s good enough for all the farmers of America.”

One of the few. open-air rallies||
planned by Marion County Democrats will be held on the large lawn at the Clarence I. Wheatley residence, 1521 Pleasant St., next Tuesday night. : Principal speakers will be Frank P. Baker, former Criminal Court judge, and Chalmer Schlosser, attorney and Democratic leader. The meeting will be sponsored by Democrats of the 12th Precinct, 16th Ward.

CAMPAIGN KITS GIVEN TO 7500 G.0.P. LEADERS
Precinct Drive Intensified As Bradford Predicts Victory at Polls.
By LOWELL B. NUSSBAUM
The Republican campaign in the precincts was intensified today with the mailing of “campaign kits” to 7500 precinct executive members. : The kits included a message from County Chairman James L. Bradford praising the workers for their part in the heavy registration and predicting a Republican victory Nov. 5. Also included in each kit was a Willkie or Hillis auto tag, suggestions on what to talk about to the voters, and a big assortment of windshield stickers. Some of the stickers read “No Third Term,” or “Happy Days Are Near.” A pamphlet, entitled the “Trumpeter,” gave the precinct workers “department dope from headquarters.” This “dope” informed them that 8000 are cafrying Young Republican membership cards; the war veterans are “85 to 90 per cent for Willkie”; that more women will vote on Nov. 5 than ever before “because they don’t want war and they distrust F. D. R.” Enlists More Speakers
It also advised them not to worry about “New Deal lies being circulated about Willkie’s iabor record.” At the same time, the county headquarters was lining up more and more speakers for the numerous precinct campaign meetings being held nightly. Teams of speakers, headed by Charles M. Dawson, nominee for lieutenant - governor, will concentrate on the Third and Fifth Wards tonight, with a total of 29 meetings scheduled. The third Ward meetings are to be at 3054 Sutherland Ave. where Mr. Dawson will speak, at 2756 Guilford Ave., 2354 Carrollton Ave., 2238 Guilford Ave. 921 E. 19th St., 1455 Carrollton Ave., 1811 Central Ave. 2047 Park Ave. 2052 Central Ave. 2111 Broadway, -2314 College Ave., 2516 Park Ave, 2324 N. New Jersey St. and at 1628 Central Ave. :
Other Meetings Listed
Fifth Ward meetings are to be at 646 W. 30th St., 3737 N. Capitol Ave., 3516 Salem St., 3460 Salem St., 3240 Kenwood Ave., 620 W. 29th St., 2914 N. Illinois St., 446 W. 25th St., 131 > 27th St. and at Shriver and 25th S. Other meetings scheduled are to be at the Decatur Township Central High School, and at the 16th Ward Horwood Colored Club, 3801 Prospect Another battery of speakers lashed the New Deal at meetings last night in the Sixth and Nineteenth Wards. Sherwood Blue, Republican nominee for Prosecutor, hinted at a “whitewash” in the handling of indictments in the Center Township poor relief cases, in an address before the Marion Council of Republican Women at the Columbia Club. Refers to Quinn Case
Mr. Blue said former Trustee Thomas M. Quinn Sr. has. not been sentenced on his plea of guilty to official neglect and has not even entered a plea on a charge of bribery. The record, he says, shows no arraignment of another defendant in the case. He promised that if he is elected
board:
he will make a full investigation of the poor relief scandal and bring | to trial various pending cases. | The charge that WPA has bigasi used unscrupulously by the New Deal as a political football was| made by Henry B. Krug, attorney. | 3 a party meeting at 3347 W. Ninth
Maurice G. Robinson, 11th District congressional nominee, told a Law- | rence Township audience at Oaklandon that “business is like a horse being ridden by the New Deal. _“Blsiness, like the horse,” he said, “is being whipped forward with scorns and slurs while it is so reined by restrictions, .regulations and socialistic experiments that it cannot see the ground on which it is to take a step.” Henry M. Dowling, attorney, told the Warren Township Republican Club that “it is perilous to continue vast power in the hands of any one man year after year, especially in one who grasps for more and more authority.” The rank and file of labor is “trending to the Republican party,” William L. Yeager, president of the
Republican Wage Earners League, said at a league meeting last night.
Retained on Job
Fred Hoke (above) Indianapolis manufacturer, was re-elected president of the State Board of Public Welfare for the fifth consecutive time at the board’s annual election here yesterday. Mrs. Richard Edwards, Peru, was reelected vice president. Thurman A. Gottschalk, state welfare administrator, serves as ex-officio secretary of the board.
HALLECK BACK WITH WILLKIE
Hoosier Gathers Campaign Advice From G. 0. P. Congressmen.
Times Special WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. — Rep. Charles A. Halleck (R. Ind), rejoined the Willkie campaign tour at New Haven, Conn. last night loaded to the guards with advice from G. O. P. Congressmen. During his three-day stay here, the young dean of the Indiana Republican delegation, who nominated Wendell L. Willkie at Philadelphia, was given all sorts of ideas as to how Mr. Willkie can win. : Nearly every one of the 168 G. O. P. Congressmen has his own personal idea of how the campaign ought to be conducted from now on and they gladly gave it to Rep. Halleck to pass along. One veteran upstate New Yorker, who has held his seat throughout the Roosevelt landslide, offered the suggestion that from now on Mr. Willkie stay out of the booing areas —particularly if the candidate’s speech is to be broadcast. Mr. Willkie has been campaigning the hard-way by invading industrial districts in an effort to snare the labor vote. Rep. Halleck, who returned here on Monday after taking the entire western trip and back as far -as Philadelphia, expressed the view that the Republican nominee had made some friends through these tactics. “Working people were pleased to see and hear him,” he said. “And the cheers always outnumbered the boos. Besides all fair-minded persons admire his fearlessness and ability to stand up and take it. Another plan offered was to hold more indoor meetings, as the nights get cooler, and thus have overflow meetings in halls rather than just fair-size crowds in outdoor parks. Rep. Halleck listened patiently to all of the various plans and promised to pass them along to Mr. Willkie and his entourage.
