By NOBLE REED

Harassed by the toughest opposition encountered in 12 years, Indiana Democratic leaders today sent their forces into| a strenuous,

* home-stretch drive, scheduling 137 " meetings in the state. ;

They looked to Paul V. McNutt for the necessary “lift” to put the Demécratic Party in [the winning

His chief address of the Marion County campaign is to be Wednesday night before an expected crowd of between 10,000 and 15,000 in Cadle Tabernacle. "Mr. McNutt’s Xx is to be

With seven campaign days left, including today, Mr. Hillis will deliver at least 10 addresses and hold probably twice or three times as many confernces. Despite the “all-star” Democratic drive scheduled for this week, the Republican State leaders said today they were planning no “special attractions.” ~ “We've got enough stars right here in Indiana to tell the story,” is the way Republican leaders put it. Following his address at Anderson tonight, Mr. Hillis will speak at Goshen tomorrow afternoon and at South Bend tomorrow night. He goes to Knox for a luncheon Wednesday and to Lafayette that night. Mr. Hillis goes farther upstate to Gary Thursday,. comes to Butler University here Friday morning and goes to Shelbyville Friday night. He will be at Sullivan Saturday night nad at Rochester on Monday night.

In a week-end address at Shoals, Mr. Hillis pledged a State highway administration free of partisan manipulation.

“HE policies of the Roosevelt Administration are obviously designed, not to put us into war, but to keep the present wars at a distance. The cry of the British and Chinese is not for men, but for weapons. They both have plenty of men. The casualties in the European war, among both military men and civilians, have been light.

To Keep War at a Distance

WILLKIE'S WISH FULFILLED WITH CHAMP" IN RING

G. 0. P. to ‘Come Out Slugging’ in Most Exciting Finish Since 1916.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer

ABOARD WILLKIE TRAIN, Oct. 28. —Wendell L. Willkie comes .out slugging for the most exciting finish of a Presidential campagin?since 1916. In that year he was 24, and a Iemocrat, and though he did not know it, he was only a few mecnths from the battlefields of France. The comparison to a prize fighter occurs inevitably to those who have watched him day after day, night after night, before hundreds of crowds. 5 He himself resorted to the idiom of the ring early in. his campaign and called for “The Champ.” Now his / wish’ is granted. Franklin D. Roosevelt, no mean slugger himself, has reluctantly discarded the robes of the Presidency and has stepped into the ring.

New Enthusiasm Apparent

Those on this train are very conscious of that other figure in the ring, who is exhibiting his prowess today in New York City while Mr. Willkie appears in Indianapolis. New enthusiasm was apparent on

| the Willkie train, attributed Lo two

factors: 1. Willkie gains reflected in the Gallup Poll. 2. Indorsement of Mr, Willkié by John L. Lewis. The Republican candidate's lieutenants are hopefully interpreting the latest Gallup findings as evidence of a trend toward Mr. Willkie that will gather momentum throughout the campaign's “home stretch.” i

Recall F. D. R. Speech

Hopefully, too, in the final week, Willkie men consider what John L. Lewis’ support may do for them. Mr. Willkie was speaking in a hall at Wilkes-Barre, Pa., when the voice of Mr. Lewis, like a Shakespearean actor of the old school and

with some of the ominous under-

cal Campaigns

tones of Orson Welles, came to a little group in a club car. As they listened, some could. recall that in Wilkes-Barre, four years ago, President Roosevelt talked from his train to thousands and thousands of miners about .John Mitchell, founder of the United Mine Workers, and John L., Lewis, who then was riding the Roosevelt train. Some could recall how the John L. Lewis of early 1933, the leader of a dwindling army depleted by depression, was welcomed by the New Deal, and how, under .the protec tion of Section 7-A, he again built up his battalions and again became a dominant figure in American labor, Some could recall also how John L. Lewis had been a good Republican in the days of Harding and Coolidge and Hoover. And ‘all could remember, for it is very recent, how this same John L. Lewis was de- * nounced as a communist. Mr. Willkie returned to the train and was told about the speech, though undoubtedly he knew. A record was run off for him, so he could hear, and then he issued a statement welcoming John L. Lewis’ support. ‘Next morning, at Bethlehem, there was new confidence: in Mr, | Willkie's voice as he talked to steel workers. There was nd apology now. He had John L. Lewis on his side.

Such cases as highway accidents would’ be handled in this way. Unnecessary delays in disposing of cases could thus be avoided, the two cahdidates claimed.

‘ELECT FRIENDS,’ GREEN TELLS A. F. L.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 (U. P.) — President William Green of the A. F. of L. said Saturday that men and women of labor resent the attempt of John L. Lewis, C.1.0. chief, to deliver their votes to any political candidate. He characterized Mr. Lewis as “a general without an army.” Mr. Green urged A. F. of L. followers to “elect their friends.” Mr. Green did not mention the name of President Roosevelt in his statement. He said the A. F. of L. stands by its non-partisan political

F the Administration were planning to plunge us into war, it would not be letting the British have so large a percentage of our stores and current output of munitions. The more we let them have, the longer it will be before we are equipped to fight, except with our Navy. And the longer they hold out, the more time we will have to strengthen our main and final lines of defense. Cynically, it might be said that Roosevelt is ready to fight to the last Englishman and the last Chinaman. When, if ever, they have had enough, we will stake our stand on another line. If they eventually triumph, our safety will be doubly secured. For surely no one supposes that we are arming against the British Empire and ina. No Honest man could promise now that we would not go to war some time during the next few years—unless he were willing to risk our complete destruction in the future. There is something to be said, from the viewpoint of our future security, for wading in now and demolishing at least one side of this transoceanic alliance against us. We could knock out Japan, whichis the weak side and can be knocked out chiefly by naval ' power, perhaps plus incendiary bombs. We do not have the means now of going to war
