Republican ] Women's Luncheon The luncheon meeting of the Republican Women’s club was attested by about 60 women and four men and was held Thursday at Marley’s Steak House on road 13, south of Syracuse, Mrs. Norman Clouse, Turkey Creek township director was the general chairman with Mrs. Floyd Schtotterback, membership chairman for the same township, assisting. Mrs. Nellie Garman of Claypool introduced the speaker, Mrs. Charles (Lucille) Woof endale, who is GOP vice-chairman of Johnson county and clerk of the Johnson circuit court. She also has been a lobbyist at the Indiana General Assembly for several sessions and has been first vice-president of the Indiana Federation of Republican Women. She spoke of the job of every Republican woman to get ready for the election year of 1966. The election can be won by careful planning on the county, state and nattered level. The morale of the Republican party’ is as low’ as it has ever been and a victory in 1966 is needed. It must be realized that the Republican party is the opposition party, and as such we must assume the responsibility and

actions of the opposition party by accepting the challenges anti privilege of working for the party. It takes women with courage to serve I and lead the fellow men and women. By combining our efforts and abilities the party will go forward. In speaking of the last legislature she stated they have already had two sessions and are about to have a third. There is a predominance erf Democrats in the Indiana legislature. Among the things that they have done is the refusal to put a ceiling on property taxes as they promised in the campaigning: the 1.7 billion dollar budget is already in the red. Gov. Branigan said the sales tax would be repealed and if not, exemptions would be put on, which have not been done: the household tax was repealed but the personal property tax was raised to more than offset k; certain sections of the intangible tax were repealed but not enough to benefit many people: the hunting and fishing licenses were separated so now one has to buy two licenses instead of one, and they were raised 100 per cent. The reapportionment law was so highly political that the courts found it unconstitional so it has to be gone over again; the new ■ election code of 29 pages was in- ■ traduced on the last day of the sesI sion and it’s passage jammed th-
President Johnson Says...
It is with both pride and pleasure that I participate in this traditional tribute to our nation’s newspapers. Too ofen taken for granted, America’s countless daily and weekly papers have been vital guardians of her time-honored traditions and eloquent spokesmen for the cherished ideals of her free-dom-loving people.. Taken together,
rough before it was thoroughly read. It calls for several things, among them the doing away with watchers at the polls only by certain picked groups, and new regulations regarding absentee voting, j To vote an absentee ballot one has to present himself at the clerk’s office 1.7 days before the election and when one member of each party are present. A resident of a nursing home or one who is going to be in the hospital on election day must vote on Monday before the election. If a voter is out of the county on election day he cannot vote, even by absentee ballot, if he is out of the satte. he can. Two county clerks have resigned as a result of the unfair regulations set down in the law. Also a voter can vote in a given precinct without transfer if he swears in an affidavit that he lives in that precinct. That will help anyone who wants to vote in several different places — no one can stop him. In Lake county in the last election each person, instead of having one vote, had two. One voter’s mother w’as allowed to vote, and when the daughter was told she said her mother had been dead for several years. Mrs. Woofendale spoke of the national legislature and told of a few of the bills that were passed. ■Among them the Anti-poverty bill,

The- Medicare bill, the national Voting Rights bill, the Education bill and the Beautification bill, sposnsored by Mrs. Johnson are all designed to take power away from the states and vest it in the national government. The moral decay and race riots are caused in part, by the fact that we are a lazy’ nation, taking what the government will give and fighting because they do not give us more. Mrs. Woofendale spoke of the stalemate in the war in Viet Nam, stating that; “President Johnson, does not want to tag the Democratic party as a war party, so will not push the fighting to a successful conclusion.” She closed her speech with an appeal to get good candidates for office and stand by them and see that they do not forget that it was the Republican party that put them in office. ‘ A quote from Abraham Lincoln was at each place setting at -he luncheon and, in part, read like this: “You cannot help the poor by J ‘ destroying the rich.
