Myers Invites Voter Analysis

JUDGE DEWEY E. MYERS, Democratic candidate for mayor,

declared in an address at the South Side Turners hall last night that the Democratic candidates welcome a critical analysis by the voters. “We are convinced,” he said, “that we will win an overwhelming victory at the polls if such an | analysis is made.” “In my candidacy for mayor, I have based my campdign on one theme—I love Indianapolis. I want to serve it well and to protect its good name. I would not seek this high honor if I were not convinced in my own mind that my experience gained in public office these last 11 years has equipped me to serve well.”

CANDIDATES GIVEN LEAGUE SUPPORT

A group of men calling themselves “The Good Govérnment League” today announced their indorsements of candidates for the state legislature from Marion county and for the Indianapolis city council.

Moore, Democrat. For city council—John A. Schumacker, Edward R. Kealing and Herman E. Bowers, Republicans, and: William B. Sullivan, Arthur C. Paetz and Carl Vestal, Democrats. Heading the group making the indorsements are Caleb M. Adams, president; Louis W. Heagy, secretary; Robert F. Shepherd and Vernon L. Cole.

PROTECTION FOR SCHOOLS URGED

Candidates of Citizens Committee Promise to i Guard Standards.

Ward and ‘precinct workers for the Citizens school committee heard

three of the Citizens candidates pledge to maintain the school system’s present high standards, or improve them if possible, at an organization meeting in the Fletcher Trust building last night. Mrs. Eldo I. Wagner promised on behalf of all candidates “to give the best service that five persons can give.” Children in our public schools,”

_| she said, “are our responsibility, If

elected we five will pledge to accept the responsibility of providing proper school and playground facilities, good teachers, and we will do our utmost to keep the present high standards of our school system, or improve them if possible.” Clarence Farrington, another candidate urged workers to impress it upon citizens to back the Citizens ticket “to give our children the best possible opportunity along educational lines.

Might Have Saved Europe

“If European school systems had been maintained,” he said, “along the same standards as we know them in this country—and in Indianapolis especially—there wouldn’t be the bunch of raving maniacs that all are over there.” Dr. Harry G. Mayer, the committee’s southside candidate said, “The best we can give our school children is none too good. This board, if elected, will face many difficult problems, and will meet many wartime emergencies.” To help meet these unusual emergencies, Dr. Mayer said that

if he were elected he would solicit|

the aid of the board of health, the board of safety and park board for the well-being of the school children, Other citizens school committee candidates who did not attend last night’s meeting are Edgar A. Perkins and Howard S. Young. Harry RR. Champ, committee secretary, answered the Citizens school co! ittee candidates were “hand picked” He explained how the final five were se-

Dear Fellows— THINGS REALLY were cookin’ "this week-end, what with 16,000 schoolmarms here:for their annual convention. . Guess

there were a few Hoosier schoolmasters here, .

. Gosh, those schoolmarms seem to get cuter every year. . . . And they really took over the town. . You should have seen the home town boys giving them the eye and angling for dates. . Before the schoolmarms got: us all upset, the talk of the town was the army’s big War Show, out at Butler Bowl. . . . They gave us five nights of the most thrilling entertainment we've ever had here. . . . Glad it was only make believe fighting. . . . You fellows may be interested in knowing how they got all those tanks and jeeps and artillery into the bowl. Well, that was easy for the army. They just cut a big hole in the north end of the bowl. . . . Nothing stumps those army engineers.

x K * No Vandalism This Year—

IT LOOKS LIKE the old home town is going to have a safe and sane Halloween— the safest and sanest in years. . The boys and girls in school are pledging that theyll help prevent any property damage because of the war.. .. Hope they don’t have their fingers crossed. . . . Any regular Halloween vandalism now is outright sabotage that would help Hitler. . Speaking of holidays, there’s good news about Thanksgiving. . . . The news is that there’ll be no shortage of the big bird, or chicken, ‘either. . At least, not here. Hope you all get your favorite drumstick. . . . The coffee situation still is “critical” . . . The restaurant association warns us not, to ask for a second cup. . . . Out at Allison’s, they had “No Coffee Today” signs in the plant cafeterias Thursday. . . . Frightful hardships, we civilians have to undergo,

all about it over the radio Monday night. « . . County Auditor Glenn Ralston died

What's Cookin’ in Sports— BUTLER JUST can’t hang onto its coaches these days, not with Uncle Sam calling. . . . First the navy made Tony Hinkle a Lieut, . . . No sooner had Wally Middlesworth taken his place until the army called, and now its C a pt Wally. . . . Next to enter the army was J im Hauss. . + . And now it’s Ray Sears, ‘track and cross country coach, "and once one of: . the country’s greatest distance runners. He reports Dec. 7 (remember that date last year?) to the marine reserve officers training school in San Diego. Good luck, Ray. . . .

. They're going to decide within a few days

out at Butler whether to cancel or merely abbreviate the basketball schedule. . . . Traveling difficulties and the fact they no longer have a home gym. The navy’s using it as a training “ship.” . . The Hoosier football Big Three have tough going this week-end. . Wisconsin threatens to spoil the Purdue home-coming, . . Towa tangles with: Indiana at Bloomington, .
