S. Representative of the Second District of Indiana. These signatures came from eight of the 14 counties of the district. Logan's news release scores both Oppenheim and Fithian. “Mr. Oppenheim realizes that something is wrong, but he hasn’t realized that half of the problem is the Republican Party. It was the leadership of the Republican Party that promoted the ‘Canal give-a-way’ and it was Republicans that joined the Democrats in voting to give it away.” The release continues, "The constitution says that both houses shall vote on the disposal of any government property. There is a bill in the house to do just that, but it has been ‘pigeon-holed’ in committee. Representative Hansen has filed a petition to bring that bill to the house floor to be voted on, and Jim Logan calls on Mr. Fithian to sign that petition and do his constitutional duty and vote whether he represents the citizens of the second district or the International Bankers.. —O'CLAUDE STAHL, Pierceton, has filed for first district county councilman and Bruce A.
