Political Pot Fails To Reach Slow Boil As Most People Talk About The Weather

By Journal Staff Writer The local political pot was still a long way from a slow boil as this weeks Journal goes to press —in fact there wasn’t even a murmur of a simmer—yet. A good deal of visiting and hand-shaking was going on, but what was being said was pretty generally “just between us girls.” No burning issues—no name calling—no challenges—in fact nothing to create any pre-elec-tion tenseness was visible—on the surface. There we?g straws in the wind, however, to remind one that a

Susan Darr z s Essay Wins District Honors Susan Darr, who won first place in Syracuse in the essay contest sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary last month on the subject of “Justice For All,” has been chosen winner of the second district essay contest in the girls’ division. Her essay was judged with those which won first place in towns including Warsaw, LaFayette, Delphi, Logansport, Valparaiso and Rensselear, all of which are larger than Syracuse and would present greater competition. First prize in the local contest was $lO which was presented to Susan in a school assembly this week by Mrs. Marshall Coy from the local Auxiliary.

modern 1956 pressure cooker can build up a mighty head of steam before any of it is visible—or audible. The. activities of the local “renegade regulars” who vocalized loudly in both major and minor modes during the weeks preceding last year’s town election —were apparently being carried on without benefit of sound. Whatever the local ‘'solid Republicans" were doing about it was likewise a silent matter. Democrats —who had the floor by default—had little to say. It might be interpreted as a lack of interest—but this reporter doesn’t think so. He interprets

Cast Urges Voters To Go To Polls 8 May Alvin C. Cast, Chairman of the Indiana Republican State Central Committee, has called upon Republican voters of the state to go to the polls 8 May and demonstrate their support of President Eisenhower. At the same time he cautioned Hoosiers against losing their votes by any sincere effort to honor Vice President Nixon or any other candidate by “writein.” Writing in the name of candidates is illegal in Indiana and mutilates the entire ballot, Mr. Cast reminded. “There must be no doubt about Indiana’s continued enthusiastic support of President Eisenhower,” Mr. Cast said today in a letter to all G.O.P. county and district chairmen and vice-chairmen. ‘ Therefore, it is essential every voter in the Indiana Reubllcan primary election 8 May cast his ballot for our President.” “The new presidential preference primary law will operate for the first time in Indiana 8 May. While everyone agrees Hoosiers are enthusiastic about the renomination and re-election of President Eisenhower, yet any failure to demonstrate this support at the polls would be seized upon loudly by the New Dealers as a hopeful sign,” Mrs. Cast continued. “Hoosiers likewise have great admiration for Vice President Richard M. Nixon. Undoubtedly hundreds of thousands of them would like to write in his name on the ballot 8 May,” he said. “However, any writing placed on these ballots—and there are hundreds of precincts in Indiana where paper ballots are used—would disqualify the entire ballot. Do not lose your vote by such a sincere effort to honor Mr. Nixon.” Mr. Cast called upon the party organization leaders to tell their neighbors about the importance of registering their votes for President Eisenhower.
