State Demos Ride High At Jefferson-Jackson Dinner

By FRANK A. WHITE INDIANA’S DEMOCRATIC party members rode high in the saddle in a Jefferson-Jackson SIOO a ’ plate roundup held in the Hoosier capital this past week end. x. record gross -of SI 12.000 was chipped into the party war chest by 3.600 persons who came from every n<xik and comer erf Indiana. This was $20,000 'more- than any previous fund banquet and the money will be used for formcoming campaigns. Gov. Henry F. Schricker. wjiite hatted, two-time Indiana governor, got a tremendous hand, but quickly melted' into the crowd along with Mrs Schricker Gov. Roger D Bran- . : of the HoosiEr party, is past 60. There were other senior celebrities present, such as First District Congressman Ray Madden and Eighth District Congressman Winfield K Denton. Mistake it not. the Young Democrats are running the party show All about were youthful figures as politics go. V. S. Senator Birch Bayh. Shaker <>f ’he House Richard BoCon gressmen .Andrew Jacobs, Jr.. .Lee Hamilton. John Brademas. J Edward Roush. Lt. Gov. Robert Rock, and Secretary <rf State John Bottorff. Further emphasizing youth was the speaker Congressman John V Tunney D-Calif. ’ He is fighting with his tongue where his father. Gene Tunriey. was heavy weigb.t champion of the AEF and later of the world. THERE WAS MUCH to see and hear politically at this great cathering that packed the huge manufacturers building of the state fairground Some political dopesters had made the remark that V S Senators Bayh and the dynamic Vance Hhirtke were at odds over competition to aid the tomado disasters To offset this. Noss. ■ Mr and. Mr- Wiiir.iir Hy.ey returned Mondav evening after a five davs’ vs-;t with their soi;, Lloyd, .ir.-i wife at Brownstown. IP.

Bayh publicly complimened Hartke and Hartke in turn lauded Bayh and Gov. Branigin praised them both. Jubilant Democrats reveled in having won sweeping victory last selection when it was said “it couldn’t be done”. They extolled Presidriit Johnson’s legislative program of aid to education, disaster relief, medicare for senior citizens and the whole package. Speaker Tunney said “Democrats are doers”. In answer to why we are in Viet Nam war, Tunney said: ( There are three, choices, withdraw and leave southeast Asia to communism engage in a peace conference and if the Reds refuse, fight the war to a conclusion. He said withdrawal was unacceptable. . As to why we are in \':et Nam,, the speaker quoted Lincoln’s malice to none, with justice to all. and to do ti:e right as we see . the right. He poined out that our country did not ■seek any real esate or other advantage and only to permit nations to be free as we are. In election of Hartke in, 1958 and 1964, Bayh in 1962. Brankin in' and seeing Democratic victory from the Presiderir to local levels, the party is enjoying its greatest victory since the days of Franklin Delano Roosevelt Reapportionmen: and redisti iCting will make it very difficult for the Republican party to stage a comeback. However, it must be realized that everything went Democratic under Roosevelt and Trumaii and in a few years the Republicans were in command. Gov. Branigin is a master of dry wit. IL- remarked that this was billed as a JeffersomJackson day dinner and he hadn’t heard either of them mentioned. The toughest problem confronting .Branigm's administration at this stage is the matter of patronage. The outgoing administration of Gov. Mattrtw E. Welsh has filled uup offices ion the state level. Wishing to make ia record. Branigin accepted many of Welch’s appointees to top office for i bis regime. I It is a real’squeeze to try to rei ward a record number of party faithfuls who want jobs with those available. There are in fact, over three j who want jobs for. every one job ext Th£ Indiana Democratic Editorial I Association, with Joe Nixon chair-
