Secretary of State on White House 'Hate List'

Secretary of State Larry A. Conrad told about county Democratic party faithfuls at a Saturday noon luncheon in his honor at the Warsaw Holiday Inn that he was somewhat Surprised to learn he was on one of the White House “Hate Lists”. He said he was called by reporters of an Indianapolis television station for a reaction to the news, being the first time he learned of his being considered a White House enemy. Parade Marshal The Secretary of State was in Kosciusko county to act as parade marshal in the Saturday afternoon parade at the Mermaid Festival. He rode on the back of a convertible through the long parade with his coat thrown over his shoulder. A reception was held at the South Shore pavilion for Conrad following the parade where many area Democrats had an opportunity to visit with Indiana’s leading Democrat. County Democratic chairman Stanley Nice said he was pleased that nearly 100 turned out to greet Conrad at the Saturday luncheon. He said it’s always hard to get out crowds in the summer, and cm a Saturday in a non-election year. He said this represented the “new spirit” among Democrats in Kosciusko county. Conrad was introduced by John Kleeman, a bright young star in the Kosciusko Democratic firmament. Conrad indicated that he might seek re-election to the office he now holds, and he is most certainly looked upon by Democrats throughout Indiana as a possible candidate for governor in four years. Fithian Present Also present was Purdue associate history professor Floyd Fithian, who was an unsuccessful candidate for congress” from the Second District. He frankly admits he is “testing the winds” to see if he would be successful at a second bid to the congressional post. At the luncheon Conrad urged increased political activity in the wake of the Watergate affair. He pointed out that Democrats stand to lose a great deal if the general public becomes more disenchanted with politics than it is already. Conrad said, “We hear rumors and speculation that people will now be reluctant to give money, time, and even their vote the next time out. History tells us voter turnout is light in off-year Cycle rider jailed after accident A motorcycle accident mi SR 15, spur miles north of Warsaw at 2:35 a.m. Thursday resulted in body abrasions to Paul D. Crider, 23, box 514 Milford. Crider reported that he was headed south on SR 15 when his cycle left the road and he could not control it. Following the accident Crider was taken to the county jail where he was booked on charges of driving while under the influence of intoxicating beverages and public intoxication. Damage was listed at SIOO to the cycle by investigating officers county police Sgt. Ronald Robinson and patrolmen Burdell Blackburn and Marlin Rose. Vacationing in California Rev. Ralph P. and Mrs. Karstedt and daughter, Bethany, of the United Methodist church in Milford are vacationing in California during the first three weeks of July. During their absence, Rev. Bill Moon of Grace United Methodist church in New Paris will be the guest pastor and will be available for emergency pastoral services during the. week.

elections anyway. We know that money has never been easy to raise and always harder for Democrats than Republicans. Hie crisis appears to be all too real. Those of us who know, because we participate, that Watergate is not standard operating procedure for either party have a special responsibility to share our experiences. We can give politics back its good reputation by contributing our reputations.” Proud To Be Politician Conrad emphasized that he is proud to be a politician. “I feel very strongly that politics is life and that each of us is involved in

The tools of the politician are not the bug or the bribe but rather are those same techniques of reason, persuasion, and human relations that bring success in almost any held. Conrad concluded by saying, “While I thank you for your past contributions I caution you not to get complacent. Today the political picture is vastly different than it was six months ago. Only our hard work will guarantee that six and 12 months from now we will see Democrats headed for victory.”
