Candidates . . . issues . . . U S y °“ r duty WILL ERWIN. Republican candidate for US Congress, outlmed recently what he feels is one of the basic issues confronting American society. Erwin posed the question, “Are we going to strengthen our society of free, independent, hard-working people ... or are we facing a society where the federal government through rules and regulations enacted by Congress assumes more and more of the individual creativity of the American citizen. "Miany laws enacted by Congress." Erwin stated, “are based upon humanitarian ideals that we all share. “The objectives are right, but the methods of accomplishment are an affront to our American values." Erw’in cited OSHA as an example. “W-OME’N ARE too valuable an asset to be wasted. They should have an equal opportunity to realize their full potential. To go a step further, there should be an affirmative attempt to involve women in government. They would be involved not just in the appointed advisory positions but in the important paying jobs. We should not find them solely in the traditional women's jobs, but in the £glal decision,, making process and in the areas responsible for carrying forward the decisions made. „ }“I have consistently supported the Equal Rights Amendment, continued Senator Robert J. Fair, Democratic candidate for Governor. in a recent speech. “It should not be considered a panacea, for some of the attitudes which work against equal treatment have been in existence for generations and have been ingrained in us since childhood. On the other hand, this amendment is not. as some would have us believe, a threat to the American way of life... ’ REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL candidate Glenn Sullivan said Tuesday that the people of northwestern Indiana are sick and tired of having the C-SELM proposal hanging over their heads and that candidates* promises of working for anything less than total deauthorization of the project is nothing more than political double talk. In comments made to the Rotary club here, Sullivan referred to a recent press release in which one of his primary opponents said he would do everything in his power to see that C-SELM remains no more than a study and if it would again become active he would be in opposition. COMPETITION IS seen in the race to seek the nomination for the Indiana Senate. 13th district, on the Republican ticket. John B. Augsburger of Milford announced early this year he would seek his father’s seat in the state senate. Since that time four others have filed for the same post — Donald Clark, 506 South Martha St., Angola; Charles W. Marks, r 2 Wolcottville; David M. Whitesell, r 6 Warsaw; and! Ellsworth Peterson, Ligonier Only one Democrat, Donald Helmkamp, LaGrange, seeks his party’s nomination. STATE TREASURER Jack New has responded to Governor Bowen’s defense of increased state spending by pointing out a material increase in the number of state employees. Appearing with Bowen March 18 at an Indianapolis meeting of Sigma Delta Chi. New said Bowen really doesn’t know how many employees he has on the state payroll “It’s like the state surplus. You get three or four different figures, depending on who you talk to.” The Democratic candidate for the nomination for Governor said the auditor's office reports more than 26,000 employees in general sta|e government. "This figure is about 4,000 people higher than it was when Bowen assumed office.” New said. “This represents an 18 per cent increase. Do you see an 18 per cent increase in state services?” < New said the money spent on these salaries — conservatively estimated to be about S2B million a year — could better be spent on programs to benefit Hoosier taxpayers.

Montgomery has joined us with artillery, and about three thousand men. “And yesterday we arrived here from Point aux Trembles, and are making preparation to attack the enemy, who are in close garrison, but cannot hold out long. “From the best accounts they are much divided amongst themselves, and a prodigious panick has seized them all. “Our men are in high spirits, being now well clothed, with the regimentals destined for the seventh and twenty-sixth regiments, who were taken prisoners at St. John’s. “This is a circumstance which I believe the like never before happened to the British troops, as two regiments of them to be made prisoners at one time. "They are all astonished at our march through the wilderness, which they say was impossible; and would not believe our coming until they had occular demonstra-
