Robert E. Gates Steps Down As 4th District GOP Chairman

Robert E. Gates of neighboring Columbia City last week suddenly announced his resignation as Fourth District Republican chairman and from the state GOP central committee. Gates, the 48-year-old son of former Gov. Ralph Gates, himself often mentioned as a gubernatorial hopeful, was one of seven signers of a critical “statement of concern” that came out of the August 27 central committee meeting after opponents of state chairman Buena Chaney failed to unseat him. In his letter of resignation, Gates said lack of time because of his duties as Indiana university trustee and his own personal law practice were reasons for his resignation. Some observers speculated today Gates wanted to avoid a future battle like the one that occurred before and during the unsuccessful anti-Chaney coup. Others thought Gates was irked by the hamstringing resolution in the county chairmen of his district passed, blocking a future dissent by the district chairman without the majority votfe of the county chairmen. , Still others saw his action as a bow to Whitcomb’s power which brought a request from the governor for Gates’ resignation as an IU trustee —a resignation that was not accepted after it was received. , Still others thought Gates meant what his letter said; that he cherished the IU trusteeship more than his seat on the central committee and did not have time for both and still have time left for his law business and his family, which includes three daughters, 9 to 17 years of age. But, while the speculation was inconclusive, the competition to be the next 4th District chairman was not. State Sen. Dean V. Kruse, R-Auburn, who had been a leader in passage of the limiting resolution, said he is a candidate. Kruse, who is the DeKalb county chairman, said “I feel I have enough votes to win.” He said the vote might be the same as that on the resolution which was 12-4 with two abstentions. Chaney said he will advise the county chairmen and vice chairmen of the fourth district by telegram of the time and place for the election meeting. He said he hopes to have the election next week so as “not to let this drag out.” But would abide by the GOP rule requiring at least five days notice of such an election. Gates was named IU trustee by Whitcomb July 26. RETURNS FROM COLORADO Mrs. J. Boyd Ogle of Syracuse returned Thursday from Colorado Springs. Colo., where she spent a week visiting her brother and family, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ganger. She ( was accompanied by her father, Perry Ganger of Nappanee.
