FRANK MeIIALE Justice of the Indiana Supreme Court, he visited, since August 14, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, California (twice), Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado,

Nebraska and Iowa.

Of the 24 states he has been in, McIIale stated unequivocally that Paul V. McNutt would get at least 80 per cent of 19 delegations to the National Convention next year, with the President out of the race. Four of the states visited will have favorite son candidates, he said, and when in these states, he contented himself with a statement of the availability of McNutt if and when (he favorite son withdraws from the race. In one state, he found the sentiment about 55 per cent for another candidate and about 45 per

cent for McNutt.

McIIale started on August 14, before the war started, and was greatly surprised to find that, although the people arc greatly interested in the war, they are also interested in politics. “Tho crowds that turned out were larger than ever after the war started,” he said. “In every state we were met by the ranking Democratic officials, including National Committeemen and Women, State Chairmen, State Vice-Chairmen, Governors, Congressmen, Senators, and State, County, and City officials when they were available. "We did not seek instructed delegations and did not put anyone on the spot. Our case was simple enough when we explained it to the many meetings we attended and to | the hundreds of persons we intcrj viewed.

“Continually we found old and new McNutt adherents who believe the year 1940 is no time for the Democrats to wind up their Convention is discord, and believe that McNutt is the ideal man to solidify all the forces of the party and bring them into harmony for the campaign.” McIIale and Judge Fansler spent nine and one-half days in California, during which they saw representatives of all tho many factions in tho State. The registration now being completed for the vote on the $30 a week plan on November 7 shows a trend toward a Democratic majority of 800,000, McIIale said. Under tho law, delegates to the National Convention are elected by a statewide primary on the first Tuesday in May and the candidates for delegates must express the preference for President. If the person so preferred does not withdraw his..name, then his candidacy is assumed. Biggot Buildup In Colorado MeHale said the biggest McNutt buildup was in Colorado, where Administrator and Mrs. McNutt have often visited. "Our forces there are in the open working for our cause,” he declared. While in Wisconsin, McIIale and Fansler went from Alilwaukee to Madison where the State Legislature was meeting. They conferred with a number of its members, most of whom they found favorable to Me* Nutt if the President is not * candl*

They attended a meeting of Democratic state leaders at Waseca, Minn., and were well received. At St. Paul they had interviews with several scores of prominent persons, most of whom were interested in tho McNutt cause. Leaving Minnesota for Fargo and Bismarck. N. D., they again were welcomed by the National. State, County and local loaders. At Helena, Mont., they attended a Democratic luncheon with many prominent per-

sons.

They visited Spokane and Seattle in Washington and found a rather mixed political situation, though they believe all factions of the State can be united around McNutt. At Portland. Ore., they reported almost the same situation, though of course, the factions are different. Met Farm And Labor Leader, "We had excellent meetings and conferences in Phoenix, Ariz.; Salt Lake City. Utah; Boise and Pocatello. Idaho; Cheyenne, Wyo.; Denver, Colo.; Omaha, Neb., and Des Moines, la. These are all great farm states and we found keen interest in tho Farm Program of the Administration,” said McIIale. “We met the farm leaders in every state and found most of them favorable io McNutt because his gross income tax effected reduced assessments on Indiana farm land by many millions. “We met about 95 per cent of the top labor leaders in the states we visited, including representatives of both the C.

Three new teams on the schedule for the season are Covington. Fillmore, and Ladoga. The school and coach Cooper feel that this is one of the best schedules Russellville has had for some time, as Bellmore is the only school with a smaller enrollment that Russellville. Russellville has a total of 30 boys in high school. The 1939-40 schedule is as follows: Basket hall Schedule Nov. 1—Bellemore Here Nov. 3 Roachdale There Nov. 10—Bainbridge There Nov. 22—Cloverdale Here Nov. 29—Fillmore There Dec. 2—Covington ....

In the suit of Ivan S. Leathers et al vs. Tamar Huber et al, Cyril C. Leathers files a petition for a change < venue from the judge and asks that the clerk cf the State Supreme Court name three judges from which the attorneys may select a special judge to try the case. A divorce was granted Glen M. Steele from Burdie Steele, but the court gave the mother the privilege of visiting their son, Glen Russell Steele “at any and all reasonable times and places.” Rollie M. Hurst and E. Ghlec Hurst have petitioned the court for an order making Charles M. Corns their a 'opted son, “in the interest of the said child," who, however, is 17 years Id. His parents, Kenneth and Hester Corns, are deceased. Jessup IPcks, of Spencer, has been the guardian of the young man. Accompanying the petition for adoption, is a let-

Pauw played Boston University at Boston that the Tigers have not used a bus for their road trips. Coach Neal announced that he would pare his squad to twenty-eight men for this game and that the team would work out on the local field Friday morning and leave immediately for Lafayette where they change trains for Detroit. The squad will leave Detroit immediately after ‘he tilt Saturday afternoon and get back in Greencastle the same night. Alumni are planning a football banquet for Friday night for DePauw’ grads in the Detroit area. It will be the first opportunity that the Dctroit-DePauw Alumni Club has bait to entertain a football team. The DePamv-Lawrence Tech series was inaugurated here last year and the first game played ended in a 47-6 victory for the Tigers, something the Tech team will be out to avenge this year. After this disastrous defeat the Blue Devils went on to win the Ontario-Michigan Conference. going undefeated in conference i play. Coach Neal expects the Detroit ; team to be much stronger this year as their 1938 squad was composed j largely of sophomores. On the other, hand. DePauw has not shown as much in offensive strength this year.
