some of the New Deal policies in order to assure victory for the Democratic ticket in Indiana. “That is not true—I always have

been for the New Deal and still am for it all the way,” he said. The Lieutenant Governor charged that the Republican administrations in Indiana during 16 years they were in power “never did any thing constructive for the people of Indiana.” “The State was facing a deficit when the Democratic Party took over in 1933 and after two Democratic administrations, the state treasury has enough money to handle any emergency that might arise,” he said. “Indiana is one

of only five states in the nation that is keeping a balanced budget.” Mr. Schricker reiterated previous statements that he is “not going to buy his way into the Governor's office.” He appealed to the voters to send a Democratic majority to the State Legislature for the 1941 session. “We don’t want any more Republican control in the lower house of the Legislature,” he said. “During the last session the Republicans were able to block some very important legislation that was vital to the health of Indiana citizens.” Mr. Schricker charged that the “opposition refused to appropriate money to continue Indiana's fight against Bang's disease in cattle.”

Cites Labor Record

“As a result, our veterinarians have reported that herd after herd has become infected without means of stopping it,” he said. The Lieutenant Governor said that the State Labor Division, created under the administration of Governor Townsend, has settled more than 1000 labor disputes without the loss of time or wages. Senator Minton brought cheers when he shouted that a Republican victory “would put the present liberal program for the United States in the ‘dog house’ for the next 25 years.” He said the only issue in the campaign is “Wall Street against Main

Street is spending big money to put a Wall Street man in the White ~ House,” he charged. “Wendell Willkie's heart might be on the banks of the Wabash in Indiana but his money is in he banks of Wall Street.”

Lashes at ‘Reversals’

The Senator lashed at Mr. Willkie for what he described as ‘changing his mind on many issues—reversing himself on some big questions.” “You can’t trust a man like that in the White House, the Senator repeated several times as he accused the Republican Presidential nominee of ‘‘dancing around from one point of view to another.” ’ Answering charges that the Democrats were “smearing” Mr. Willkie, the Senator said: “We don't have to smear Willkie—just turn him loose and he’ll smear himself. I was afraid for a while that he was losing his voice because his voice is the best asset the Democrats have.” Challenging Mr. Willkie’s charges that President Roosevelt couldn't provide jobs, the Senator contended that the New Deal has returned “more than 8,000,000. men to jobs in private industry in seven years. He said he had been “accused” of being a 100 per cent New Dealer. Waving his arms to a cheerine crowd, Mr. Minton shouted: “I plead guilty to that charge.” He hurled a broadside at newspapers in general.

Raps Newspapers

“Don’t trust the propaganda you read in the public press,” he said. “Newspapers are big business and big business is out to beat the New Deal.” “If Willkie knows so much about how to give the people jobs why didn’t he tell President Hoover—he didn’t know. As a matter of fact Willkie can’t tell you how he would

provide jobs for the people.” The Senator ridiculed Mr. Willkie's charges that business has been put in the “dog house” by the New Deal, » “Authentic figures show that every large corporation in America increased its earmings by large margins between 1932 and 1939,” he claimed. Speaking on international affairs, Senator Minton asserted that the Government “is not preparing to go to war—we are preparing so others won't dare to attack us.” F. B. Ransom, Negro City Councilman, the third speaker on the program, predicted that 75 per cent of all Negroes in Marion County will vote Democratic. “They are behind the New Deal because President. Roosevelt has

President,” he said. “The Republicans never lifted a finger. to better

*|housing conditions, and under the

New Deal a huge project was completed in Indianapolis.”

HILLIS OES INTO FACTORY AREAS

At noon he was to meet employees

| lof the Link Belt Ewart works, with

the National Silk Hosiery Mills and the Beech Grove railroad shops scheduled for later in the day. “I am very much encouraged by my reception here,” Mr. Hillis said. “I got a fine reception everywhere I went. At the factories, I received friendly and courteous treatment, and a lot of the workmen told me they had been Demo-

‘lcrats but they were going to vote

Republican this year.” The nominee, in a whirlwind tour yesterday that was reminiscent of the Willkie mode of campaigning, visited several factories, addressed 300 cheering women at a luncheon in the Columbia Club, and spoke at a dinner and three meetings last night. He keynoted his remarks at each of the meetings with a plea for “decent government in the State House.” He got a laugh with a crack at

in his talk at the Dearborn Hotel. He said he wanted to conduct himself in office in such a manner that he could go back to Kokomo at the end of his term with the respect of his four children and his neighbors. “I will go home to Kokomo because I am not going to the Philippine Islands nor be a candidate for the Vice Presidency. “But if I were a candidate for the Vice Presidency, I would go through with it.” ; He pledged that there would be no “Hillis machine in the State House,” if he is elected. A common horse sense administration, he said, could save the public hundreds of thousands of dollars. He told his audiences at least 20 per cent could be cut from the cost of state government without sacrificing any essentials. “We are going to give a decent administration,” he said. “Ability and honesty will be demanded of all those appointed.

Urges Willis Support

The nominee urged support for Raymond E. Willis, the Senatorial nominee, “because he is a man who thinks in terms of what the people back home want.” In his talk at the Southport High School, he pledged removal of politics from the school system and charged the Democrats with wanting to restore the beer importer system. In his address before a group of women’s organizations yesterday afternoon, Mr. Hillis took a ‘serious view of the peace-time conscription, charging that the appearance of a military emergency is being created. “Do not make the mistake of thinking our boys have been called for peace-time service,” he warned. “The Republican Party is the party of peace, but if we are thrown into a conflict, the war President should be one who knows what happens to young men and who understands the sacrifices they make and the dangers they must face. “Certainly Wendell Willkie would not permit materials of war and scrap iron to be shipped to a potential enemy even up to the date of the registration of our sons.” At the conclusion of his factory tour this-afternoon, Mr. Hillis was to got to New Castle for an address there tonight.

Miss Anna Ray, sister of former Sheriff Otto Ray, today filed a suit in Superior Court, demanding a $3500 judgment against Sheriff Al Feeney. z Informed of the Feeney commented: “It sounds like another of the Ray cheap political tricks reminiscent of the goats in the jail yard.” The suit charged that Miss Ray loaned Sheriff Feeney $2831 to help finance the latter's campaign in the 1938 primary election and to help pay expenses of the .recount of votes that resulted in Mr. Feeney’s nomination.

said that the first contingent of 30,000 trainees—an average of less than five per local draft board— wanted by the Army on Nov, 18 probably will be obtained from volunteers. They also were sure of meeting the Army’s demand for 800,000 men by conscription well in advance of the War Department's schedule. Present plans call for that many one-year conscripts to be inducted into the Army by June 15, 1941.

Registration returns from states swelled the probable number of registrants for the draft well over 17 million—nearly one million more than pre-registration estimates. Dr. Clarence A. Dykstra, draft director, ordered leniency for persons who failed to register Wednesday. He directed all state headquarters to register such persons, if they present themselves before the national lottery, and not to consider them delinquents, The law provides a penalty of five years in jail and a $10,000 fine for wilful failure fo reg-

Stimson, a lifelong Republican, after he had criticized Republican Presidential candidate Wendell L. Willkie, who, he said, had been “misled ‘into making statements about delays in the progress of housing the men.” He said that, far from being a “ghost program,” as Mr. ‘Willkie charged, the housing program was

ahead of schedule. When questioned about the plan to call only 150,000 men by the first of the year instead of 400,000, as previously planned, Mr, Stimson replied “exigencies of Army training,” insisting that it was not due to a lack of housing. The schedule announced by Mr. Stimson is as follows: Nov. 18, 30, 000 men; Dec. 2, 60,000; Jan. 3, 60,« 000; Jan. 15, 90,000; Feb. 10, 160,000; March 5, 200,000; June 15, 200,000.
