‘I Am An Old Campaigner’
“You would be silly, of course, to point out that a well organized political party is the most competent to govern because its leaders already have shown a capacity for organization. I'm an old campaigner, ladies and gentlemen, and I know from experience that if you can't-run a campaign with smoothness and ef-
| ficiency, you can't run a public | office.”
Referring to ‘Sidney Miller, the
| president of the Tyndall-for-mayor
club who made the charges against Judge Myers, Judge Cox said: “The Republican spook spotter I do hope Sid doesn’t become one of our airplane spotters in the. civilian defense organization. Now Sidney

{highly respected and admired Dem-

[things that Judge Myers has said
about our present city administration. Sid and his friends don’t like that. administration. They do wish that it wasn’t so doggoned good. They can’t find anything® to talk about.” . Judge Myers turned to Mr. Miller's charges that the administration of the police department was inefficient and said: “Now Mike Morrissey and T have differed bitterly on many things in years gone by and we still are not boon companions. But even I, with all the things I have said about our red-headed chief of police; would be the last to charge him with letting the crime situation get out of hand.

“Tavern Situation Called Good
“And if I didn’t know better, the work of high military authorities is good enough for me. Did you'
know, friends, that Indianapolis has
only two taverns which the army has ruled out of bounds? Two taverns out of 1200 permittees. Louis« ville, a much smaller city, has 22 taverns out of bounds.” : Judge Cox did a little namecalling himself, referring to Charles Jewett, former mayor and campaign manager of Gen. Tyndall in the primary, as “Chuck-hole Charlie. »
Election of a: Democratic congress this fall‘ to keep the mistakes of 1918 from being repeated was urged here last night by Mrs. Charles W. Tillett, assistant chairman ‘of the Democratic national committee. She spoke before a Democratic women’s rally at the Clapyool hotel. “In the last two decades,” Mrs. Tillett declared, “the American people have learned how a congress by its decisions can make history for years to come, how these decisions can reach right down into our homes and send your boy and mine marching off to war 20 years later.

CEILINGS RAISED ON SOME FOODS
Increases Authorized to . Hold Dealers Caught In ‘Squeeze.’
Local housewives - today nay be paying a cent or two.more for foods in’ 11 ‘broad, categories. 3 The ' change in ceiling “prices, made by: the government this week, affects . about 15 per cent of the food . purchased in grocery stores. Items: on which" the: lady of the house may notice a change in price include: Breakfast cereals. Canned Fish. = ‘ Cooking and salad oils. Sugar. Canned vegetables. Coffee. ' Rice.. Hydrogenated and other types of shortening. Dried fruits. Lard. j . * i - The increases were authorized by the government in order to help retailers and wholesalers caught in a “squeeze” under the original maximum price regulations, Because they were caught in the “squeeze,” some grocers no longer carried certain products and brands. This authorization will mean that many of them will probably put them back on their shelves. The only two categories which the wholesalers and retailers are required to refigure new ceilings are lard and dried fruits. The others are optional. Prunes were placed under price control for the first time under this new order affecting dried fruits.
