M’NUTT TO CONTROL,

State Committee Gives Dr. (. B. MeCull®ch Power to Make the Arrangements,

Virtual control of the democratic party’s 1934 nominating convention was voted Gov. Paul V. McNutt Tuesday by the state cetral committee at Indianapolis. _ After setting June 12 as date for the convention, the committee authorizeq Dr. Carleton B. MecCulloch, gsate chairman and supporter of McNutt to complete gll arrangements for the conwvention. ; ! A special committee to be appointed by McCHlloch %ill select the temporary and permanent chairman for the conventon, choose the keynote speaker and allot periods to other speakers, The action of the committee was interpreted by political observers as seriously handicapping the efforts of R. Earl Peters, Fort Wayne, a McNutt opponent, to win the party’s nominatic for Uniteg States senator. Throught virtual domination of the convention, the governor’s supporters could place almost insurmountable obstacles in Peters’ path, it was pointed out. Friends of Peters won a small victory in the committee meeting, however, when a clause intended to punish recalcitrant democrats was rejected from a set of new party rules which were adopted. ‘As suggesteq: by Dr. McCulloch and Keith Jones, secretary of the committee, the rules would have been changed to provide for removal of county, district or state chairmen for cause by a two-thirds vote of the group by which he was selected. . ICauses for removal as set out in their proposal included mneglect of duty, disloyalty to the party or any of its nominees or regularly elected officials, failure to comply with rules of the party or state election laws, failure to cooperate with other officers or the party and all other charges which may result from actions of such chairmen as against the best interests of the party.:

Governor Irked at Dillinger Reports. “Dirty politics” were charged against Indiana republicans today by Gov. Paul V. MeéNutt in answer to a report that he is a first cousin fto John Dillinger notorious criminal. * IMcNutt was born in Johnson county and attended school in Morgan county also the home of the Dillinger family. The governor branded the attempt to link him with the much-sought ¢riminal as a “malicious lie invented by my political enemies.” “It looks like a revival of the old republican ‘poison squad,” >’ McNutt saig when he heard he and his wite were reported to be related to the Dillinger family. «The so-called ‘poison squad’ was an organization which flourished during the Ku Klux Klan reign in Indiana several years ago. It was ‘designed by republican women for the ‘punpose of defeating democratic forces by circulating malicious propaganda,” the governor said. w«rhe same forces were at work when the bond theft case of Miss Cora Steele, Terre -Haute teacher, arose. The republicans had me in possession of ‘the.bonds. «] also have heard reports that I signed the Dillinger parole as the result of a campaign promise before my election to goyernor. I never make promises -and certainly never madd any in connection with the Dillinger parole. | wall the charges are preposterous, malicious and could be made the basis of ctiminal libel.”
