Politics By Vern Boxell

SOMETIME late today,.the 135 or so Demo-

cratic candidates in

county will know just

where they stand insofar as the organization is concerned. In a downtown hotel (and they hope too mahy persons don’t know which one), the 66 ward chairmen and vice chairmen will get together this

afternoon with

Chairman Ira Haymaker and offi-

cially decide which candidates will get the coveted ‘slate” positions

‘for the May 5 primary.

So far as the records are concerned, those whose names are

selected will be the choice of the precinct officials. Last night, the ward leaders called in their precinct committeemen and committeewomen and asked them to vote on their preferences. But in the final analysis, the slate will be composed of the candidates most highly regarded by Criminal Court Judge Dewey E. Myers, the party's mayor nom=inee who will head next Novemsber’s ticket, Mr. Haymaker and his close advisers. The ward officials who will cast the votes were, in most cases, appointed to their posts by the county chairman and, in most cases, will fol-, low his lead. Pressure groups of all kinds— political, labor, veterans, etc.— have been pouring on the heat for at least a month now for their favorites, and in recent days they have turned up the fire full blast. There has been some trading, and the best guess is that there will be some more before the final decisions are reached.

4 Races Stressed

OF THE 41 contests in which the organization must select from two or more candidates, the chief interest centers in four races— superior court room 1, prosecutor, probate court and the 12-man James Scott, trucking firm executive, apparently had the inside track for the sherifl blessing as today’s session convened, and Oscar Hagemier apparently was the prosecutor choice, although Maurice T. Harrell showed a lastminute upswing in strength and a labor group chose Robley George. In demanding that Jacob Weiss, former state senator, be given the nod over the incumbent, Judge Joseph T. Markey, with Thomas Blackwell's backers also claiming strong support. Another incumbent, Probate Judge Smiley N. Chambers, apparently will go to the post without organization support, despite the reported indorsement of Mayor Reginald Sullivan and several David M. Lewis, former prosecutor, and his chief backer; Frank McKinney, h intensive campaign among the party workers for several months and were reported o be practically assured of the “go-sign.” Two other present office-hold-ers. vucze Herbert Wilsen of superior ‘court 5, and Hanna A.

State House Mum

CONTRARY TO practices of recent years, the state house— meaning Governor Schricker and his advisers—have kept hands off in the Marion county struggle. They say the- job belongs to the county organization and every report that this candidate or that one had “state house backing” met with the answer—‘"of course, they all have.” And ‘while theyre approving candidates today, the ward officials also will be doing a little talking about the next county chairman. Mr. Haymaker says he is ‘going to retire. So far, no cinch successor has been found. Among the most frequently mentioned are Franks McCarthy, an adviser of Judge Myers, and Joseph Wood, attorney and former city r council president. Also Val McLeay, agsistant city engineer; Russell Dean, attorney and ward chairman; Frank McKinney, banker and former county treasurer, and James Cunningham, Center township assessor.

” SINCE THE nt organization Republicans have already filed their “victory slate,” the next big one to come out will be the regular G. O. P. organization’s choices. Several months ago, County Chairman James Bradford announced a list of his “preferences,” and most of them who got in still have his blessings. ; And with the anti-organization boys lined up behind mayor candidate Maj. Gen. Robert H. Tyndall and already slated publicity, it’s not hard to make a rundown of the probable organi-

zation lineup. Of the major of- '

fices, only those of superior court room 35, auditor, and sheriff leave much room for speculation. There will be other slates, of course, by various organizations,

| groups of organizations, etc. But

these are the important ones for the candidates. It' will be an unhappy primary day for most of the candidates whe don’t make one of the major o. k. lists.

Urges Strong Leaders

“In my opinion, the surest way to strengthen the Republican party is to place in positions of leadership men and women of character and ability. Political observers for a long time have been troubled over the fact that far too few mien of first rate talents were willing to particie pate in politics. ! “The Republican party in this prie mary has|a marvelous opportunity. to strengthen its leadership by the nomination of John G. Coulter. Here is the type of man who should be in politics inthis country. Let us put in public office men of his character jand capacity and I have little doubt that this crisis can be eventually -

|turned into an opportunity for make .

ing a stronger and, better American democracy,” Speaks in 4th Ward Speaking at fourth ward meet« {ings last |night, Mr. Coulter told G. O. P. workers that “to win the war at the same time to preserve our democratic system are the two |great problems that confront Amer ica today. Preoccupied with the | first of these problems, we must not | lose sight of the second.

| “Our democratic system cannot

be preserved unless the two party

| system is |preserved. For 10 years, one party hds been in control of the governmefit. Republican victory this fall will be more than a party , victory. It will be an American vice , tory, a victory that will insure the | health of our democratic system as well as the winning of the war.”

Indorses Howard Meyer Mrs. Edward Franklin White, former Indiana "supreme and ap- | pellate «courts reporter and for four |years deputy attorney general, toe day indorsed the candidacy of Howe ard M. Meyer for the Republican congressional nomination.| Mrs, White said: “Because of his past record and his steadfast devotion to Amer.can ideals; because of his reputation for |integrity and accomplishment, I ap-" peal to all Republicans to .support | Mr. Meyer, ! “For the past 10 years, he has |toured the state preaching and teaching Americanism and, assisting the American Legion in its program of Americanization. He is a member of that organization, the Vete erans of Foreign Wars and of other patriotic organizations.”
