BOTH PARTIES

QUOTE WILLKIE,

Republicans Use Hoosier’s

Statements One Way, ‘Democrats Another.

By EARL RICHERT - Leaders of both political parties are now quoting Wendell Willkie in their bids for votes.

The Democrats have been using] his statements for some time but]

# the Republicans have just started

quoting him since his Monday night

radio address. sj x Typical of the new. Republican line is a speech given before a Perry township rally here last night -by’ Republican State Treasurer x James Givens, a candidate for reelection. Agrees With Bays

“For once in this campaign,” he

said, “I am in complete accord with!

Fred Bays, New Deal state chalrman, and Governor Schricker, in their recommendations that voters ‘of Indiana follow the lead of :‘Wendell Willkie. “It must have been a keen disappointment to these New ‘Deal leaders to find that Mr. Willkie stated so well Monday hight the - very things Republicans of Indiana ~ have been saying throughout the campaign. They must recognize the strong indictment of* the New ."Deal han g of the war contained ~in Mr. Willkie's speech. . . ., . “Willkie knows and all thinking Americans know this is still a rep- . resentative government and it must gemain suth. We have one sure means of assuring that paramount consideration. That is by election of a Republican > Sonstest’ next week. ” id . . Gates" “Praises ‘Willkie

At state G. O. P. headquarters, ‘v Chairman Ralph Gates issued a statement in which he praised Mr. Willkie’'s speech and said “This new type of fireside chat placed the spotlight on New Deal inéfliciency and bungling and was of the greatest interest to citizens everywhere. “It has aroused tremendous enthusiasm for the election, and has ‘clearly outlined the need for the election of a Republican congress if we are fo stop the many unnecessary encroachments on _free government, define the straight road ahead to success in the war, stop useless expenditufes and save hug man lives.” Winfield K. Denton, “the Democratic candidate for secretary of state, hammered away on his party line on Mr. Willkie at a speech last night at South Bend.

Feared Conservatism

He quoted a recent statement of the G. O. P. presidential candidate which said: “My own party is getting more and more conservative and I'm worried over what's going to happen when it comes to writing the peace. We cannot make the same mistakes we made after the last war and let the isolationists get control. | - “Isolationist Republican obstruction ‘after. the last.war was the _ greatest contribution that was ever + made to this war, and we can’t go on fighting wars ‘every 20 years.” . + Mr. Willkie realized, Mr. Denton Jommented,. “that the election of /the Republiéan congress in 1918 was the greatest calamity this country ever had.” He referred to Mr. Gates’ recent statement that the state might elect all Republican congress- ; Tots again this year, as .it did in & 918,

He also expressed the 'legion’s confidence in the ability of the government and the war department in prosecuting the war and condemned congressmen ‘‘who know nothing of military tactics but who tell them what to do.” - ..

TRESTLE ON ROUTE OF WORKERS BURNS

CLINTON, Ind. Oct. 29 (U. P.) — Transportation facilities of = 1000 western Indiana war workers were jeopardized yesterday when fire, believed to have started from a brush fire, weakened the lower section of a large Chicago & Eastern Illirois wood railroad . trestle across the Wabash river bottom. . The fire destroyed about. 200 fect of the lcwer section of the span and caused traffic over. the railroad to be rerouted. Railroad workers said several .days could be required to repair the trestle. About 1000 Terre Haute war workers are transported daily from Terre Haute to the Wabash ordnance works near Clinton.

TYNDALL GIVES. STAND o LAR

Bargaining.

Gen. Robert H. Tyndall, the G. O. P. mayoral candidate, today issued ‘a special statement’ desighed to make clear his position toward labor. “I am a firm believer,” he ‘an-{

lective ‘bargaining. “Although I spent many yeags in the fighting forces of the nation I believe in the use of force only as a last resort and after every means of

peaceful settlement of any. contro- .

versy has been exhausted.” The G. O. P. candidate said that he had learned in the army to respect the law of the land and he pointed out that collective bargain» ing and all that it embodies is now the law.

Violence Unnecessary © He indorsed the labor-manage-

eral- government and said that it protected the rights of both sides. “I believe there has come to be a far better understanding - between’ management and labor,” he sald. “This being so, violence and ‘strife are- unnecessary and -are . rapidly becoming extinct.” Gen. Tyndall said he “will not tolerate violence or destruction. of property” and that insofar as it was within his power, he would -seek: to | bring about a fair settlement of ‘disputes that may occur in the city.

« “The armed services, the federal}

AS USUAL, ‘BOTH ‘COUNTY ebiaitmen are predicting victory, a

‘they go into’ their final pre-election week-end.

-.Democratic County Chairman Russell Dean predicts 4 a victory by

10,000 votes for the entire ticket.

Republican County Chairman Henry Ostrom predicts victory for both the G. O. P. city and county tickets, but isn't ready yet to say

by how much. All of which boiled down seems

~ to indicate that even the county

chairmen believe it will be a close election in: the county. The 10,000-vote majority, while enough: for a decisive victory it is true," isn’t much for a county

‘chairman to be claiming in a ‘county where - there are 286,000

registered voters... . There are ‘a number of imponderables which make this elec- ' tion a hard ohe to figure, the politicians say: . No one can figure; for example, whether labor which is strongly Democratic will actually be in-

} |’ terested ‘enough in the election to go to the polls.

No one can estimate accurately the vote-pulling power in these times of the Republican mayoral

. candidate; Gen. Robert H. Tyn-

dall, who. has conducted the same type unorthodox campaign

that” ws for him in the hotly

contested primary. And no one can tell just how big the against vote. will be. “These are just some of the imponderables. Another, which has Democratic leaders worried to

some extent, is the heavy German

vote in certain wards and precinects.

STRAUSS

All in all, the politicians say that the public generally is so apathetic toward the election that they will ‘be surprised if 150,000 votes are cast in the county, even with all" the get-out-the-vote drives being put on by, women’s clubs, labor unions and. the political parties. # u ®
