GOP Bids For Help Os Young In Re-election Bid

GETTING IN formation for an allout battle to elect a U.S. Senator in 1970, Hoosier Republicans have taken a leaf from the Democrats. It is a bid for young people’s aid and votes, especially those in college. Paul E. Johnson, of Huntington, was elected State Chairman of the Young Republicans, in a conclave at Columbus. The G.O.P. State Committee has added Michael H. Organ, of Marion, outgoing President of Collegiate Republicans to staff of state headquarters. Organ will aid Ron Culp, who succeeded him in boosting Collegiate Republican rolls far above the present 2,500 members. Both the Y.Rs and Collegiate Republicans have been put in the State Committee budget. With Democrat Senator R. Vance Hartke up for reelection, a Republican victory is considered crucial both for Indiana and President Nixon getting a second term. Etched on G.O.P. minds is millions of dollars of mass media publicity Democrat presidential candidates got from youth, especially college youth. This was garnered by Hubert H. Humphrey. Robert Kennedy, Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern, who bid for president. Ostensibly State House Republicans kept hands off the bitter fight at Columbus. Gov. Edgar Whitcomb naively asked “whose running” when questioned by newsmen. But in reality, State Auditor Trudy S. Etherton, 27, and Don E. Cope, from the State House were right in there pitching. Trudy is a former, Young Republican leader from St.' Joseph county. The hefty, blunt spoken, Cope heads the newly formed State House Young Republican Club. He is director of unclaimed property for Attorney General Theodore L. Sendak. With such backing, Johnson beat his opponent, Douglas R. Bridges, of Bloomington, 101 to 42 for Y.R. Chairman, the top office. Johnson ran on a “pro Whitcomb” plank and Bridges was “anti Whitcomb.” He drew support from Whitcomb dissidents of the last Legislature. licans’ organization suffered, from insistence of the Governor and State Committee, that they name the Chairman. Gov. George N. Craig fought to untether the young Republicans, let them elect their officers, and adopt a platform, even if counter to the adult GOP platform. Craig’s planting bore fruit. WHEN STRONG Men win elections they often fall out over spoils of office and green light for- candidacies. Republican William Ruckelshaus let this out of the bag by a novel proposal. Ruckelshaus lost to Democrat Birch Bayh in the senate race last time. Both reportedly spent a million dollars and more. The Senate fight is crucial. The Senate now has 57 Democrats and 43 Republicans, with Vice President Spiro T. Agnew casting a Republican vote in a tie. Recession and the turmoil over Presidential candidate Barry Goldwater enabled the Democrats to tack up their load. Republicans now hold nine of the 34 Senate seats to be filled in 1970. Republicans battle to win Senate control.

RUCKELSHAUS’S proposal is that the Republican State Committee conduct a popularity poll to select the nominee to run against Sen. R. Vance Hartke, Democrat, whom he characterized as a strong candidate for re-e---lection. Ruckelshaus is Attorney General, and on a Presidential commission studying campus unrest and disorders. He suggested seve r a 1 prominent Republicans whom he would have in the popularity poll to decide who would run against Hartke. They are: John K. Snyder, who is serving his second term as state treasurer and who was top vote getter for the GOP last time; Dr. Otis T. Bowen, M.D., who twice won speakership of the House of the legislature who runs his campaigns with surgical precision; Congressman Richard Roudebush, John T. Myers and E. Ross Adair; Secretary of State William N. Salin; former State Senator Milford E. Annis, and himself. State Republican leaders take pride that Young Republicans at Columbus passed a resolution copiously praising the Whitcomb administration. They likewise profess pride in so many high class men wanting to run for the Senate. PURDUE U.
