get their help. One thing is certain. I'll give the job all I've got and all parts of Indianapolis and all the people of Indianapolis will be represented by my administration We are all interested in good government and the American way of life.

prefer a campaigh on the issues. But whether they will be able to control the campaign once it starts snowballing is another question Just what the public's reaction would be to a dirty local campaign is worrying some politicians. There's little enough interest in the primary right now, evidenced by the light voter registrations. For the most part, the people are thinking about the war. They may require more than vague promises and mud-slinging to get them out to the polls. If one side starts tossing below-the-beit punches, the campaigh may develop into a rough - and - tumble affair that may disgust the voters and drive them away. =

It's Politics as Usual

BUT JUST TO prove that politics haven't changed much in the two years since the last election, there's a little card circulating now attacking one of the antiorganization candidates. It's unsigned and doesn’t mention the candidate by name. It doesn’t attack his record on the bench, or his personal habits —that would be hard to do. It stresses the fact that he has been a judge for a long time and that he now is seeking a higher court. It doesn't say his past record on

with an opposition slate, there will be fireworks Whether the campaign will produce light or heat and mudslinging is a question debated on all sides. Practically all the candidates for important offices say they would

the bench does not justify his seeking the higher post. And it doesn’t mention that four vears ago he withdrew from the race at the last minute, over the protest of most of his friends; to preserve party harmony and practically assure another friend of another nomination. His opponent this time is the same man he retired for in 1938. 8 2

Anti-Bradford Tactics

THERE WAS NO little eyebrow raising when the final

checkup of filing for Republican precinct committeemen disclosed that merely a handful of the Bradford - approved candidates would have opposition. It had been presumed by many that the anti - organization group would attempt to gain control of the county committee by this method. But it doesn’t mean that the opposition doesn’t have its eyes on James Bradford’s scalp. They are just going about the job in another manner, They hope to nominate their candidates for the top offices, especially mayor. If they do, they don’t have to worry about which camp the precinct committeemen will choose. Np one loves a winner more than a precinét committeeman.

TOP DEMOCRATS OF STATE HERE

Debate Convention Date Which May Be Left Fred Bays’ Hands.

By VERN BOXELL Indiana Democratic leaders met here today to tighten up their preprimary organization and to discuss selection of a state convention

date. Congressional and state legislature races were expected to be the chief topics discussed at this afternoon's state committee meeting. In some counties where no candidates fled for the legislature, the county committees will be asked to select high-grade candidates. Governor Schricker repeatedly has urged his party leaders to concentrate on the election of a favorable legislature to enable him to carry out his program. The present assembly is Republicandominated. Comttests in 10 Districts Primary contests are under way in 10 of the 11 congressional districts, Rep. William Larrabee in the 10th being the only unopposed candidate. A survey of the party's prospects was to be made by the committee today. The fifth district, in which former State Senator Edward Hays of Marfon was drafted to oppose former Mayor Olin Holt of Kokomo and two other candidates, promises one of the hottest battles. Cecil Whitehead, Anderson attorney, withdrew from the race after Mr. Hays filed. The Democrats arg concentrating on a strong candidate in this midstate district in the hopes of defeating Rep. Forrest Harness, Republican, next November.

Seventh and First Hot Spots The seventh district, with seven

powerful party leaders in the race, are the other hot spots. A late convention date to select candidates for the state ticket was predicted by the district chairmen as the meeting started. 1 was ve= ported that they woul’ -~upower State Chairman Fred ! Bays to select the date sometime within the legal limit of 150 days after the primary election. It also was reported that some chairmen would urge a monthly meeting of the state commi tee during the eight months leading up to the November general election.
