registered and out to vote on election day will do more to win this off-year election than all the ora‘tory they can muster. , And somewhat to their surprise, party leaders are finding more interest in the campaign than they had anticipated. Voters registration up-to-date, at least, is equaling that of 1938 when ' 196,000 votes were ‘cast by members of both parties “in the county for secretary of state. With the war on, party leaders had expecied to find much more apathy on the part of the general public toward registration than they have found. Chief reason for the unexpected interest in this year’s election is the mayor’s race. This, aside‘ from “the interest usually evolved by a mayor’s race, is due to the two candidates themselves. Both Criminal Court Judge Dewey Myers, the Democratic candidate, and Gen. Robert Tyndall, the Republican nominee, have been in the public eye in this city for many years in various: capaci- | ties and both have hosts of personal friends. And these friends are out Waging.

(Gen. Tyndall charged that under the present Democratic regime, Indianapolis “has about the worst police administration of any larger city in America.”) Gen. Tyndall did not refer: to Judge Myers in his address and the judge is‘éxpected to return the favors.
