Final Rites For War Veteran To Be Held Tuesday
(By Boyd Gill) United Press Correspondent INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 28. (UP) Indiana's political pot began simmering today as thousands of candidates swung into the final phase of the off -year election campaign. One week from tomorrow, Hoosiers will flock to the polls. They will elect a U. S. Senator, 11 Congressmen, 10 state officials and a flood of judicial, county and township officers.
Until today steam came from
the political kettle at varioutimes. But the temperature rose to a boil as the last week before
the Nov. 5th election opens. Three outstanding rallies were
planned over the state for to
night, two by Democrats and one
by Republicans.
At Bedford, Senator Claude Pepper, D., Florida, makes his second appearance in Indiana irv two days. He planned to say: again as he said yesterday in Indianapolis, that the Democrats; would sweep the November elec-. tion with voters "showing their, determination to avoid the Republican inflation and depression that followed World War I." Senator Alben W. Barkley, D., Kentucky, speaks at an Eighth District rally at Boonville. Wm. E. Jenner, GOP nominee for U. S. Senator speaks in Indianapolis for the Eleventh District rally, while his opponent, former governor M. Clifford Townsend, D., Hartford City, will speak in Indianapolis Wednesday night. ','.'...... .;,.!.:. Republican Cpngressman Charles LaFollette will speak in behalf of M. -Clifford Townsend, Democratic candidate for senator. The LaFollette speech presents a new departure in Indiana politics. The Eighth District congressman has repudiated hid
party as "hopelessly" reactionary
and his radio address will espouse Mr. Townsend as the hope of
liberalism in Indiana.
Boston, Wolfe, Walls, Thudium
and Pirtle will see action .tonight, also, Coach Jones said. "These B games are being nlaved solely for experience,"
the Arrow mentor further stated, j"and I want to see as many as (possible get in the game this year. Of course, we like to win, but primarily we are interested in starting the ball to rolling for
