Democrats warned not to become party of the establishment

In the text of a speech given to about 130 supporters, Indiana Secretary of State Joe Hogsett cautioned that now is not the time for the party to rest on it’s laurels; even though there’s a Democrat (Evan Bayh) as Governor of Indiana. “We must make sure,” he warned, “that the same ideas which we advocated when we were out of office continue to percolate now that we are in office. We have to be innovative, responsive and creative.” Democrats must not become the party of the establishment and the past, as the Republicans were until 1988, he said. Rather, the Democrats must remain the party of the future and the movement. Hogsett did say that the victories recently gained by Democrats are the product of hard work of “people like you.” Future victories will also “require the same type of monumental energy and effort.” Political mudslinging was also touched upon, with Hogsett saying, “Given the tone of the last campaign, we must expect that our opponents will be looking at everything we do through a microscope." He further warned that as Indiana Democrats, hard work is needed to “dispel the inaccurate stereotypes which our opponents have tried to apply to us on the national level.” He urged the crowd gathered at the Warsaw Shrine Building for the county party's annual Jefferson- Jackson Dinner, held on April 17, to be proud Democrats but to never allow “our opponents to define to the voters what being a Democrat is all about.” He added that in the future, opponents will “wave the bloody

shirt” at election time. The "bloody shirt” he said, is the charge that the Democratic Party is the party of high taxes. It is they, Hogsett said, who raise taxes. He also brought up the familiar Republican charge that the Democratic Party favors special interest groups. "It is their party which became a special interest unto itself," he, charged.

FIRST DEMOCRATIC SHERIFF IN 50 YEARS — Former Kosciusko County Sheriff Sam Holbrook w as honored on April 17 at the Kosciusko County Democratic Party's annual Jefferson-Jackson Dinner for having been the first Democratic sheriff in 50 years when he became sheriff in 1959. He was in office through 1966 and during that time, his wife served as prison matron; Isabelle Holbrook, pictured above with her husband, was honored at the dinner as well. Holbrook said he was "a doer,” not a speaker. The local party is honoring Democrats who have done important things for the party over the years and the Holbrooks Were the first to be so honored. During the evening's festivities. Jack Mason w as high bidder in an auction of Indiana Secretary of State Joe Hogsett’s tie. He paid $325 for the souvenir. The auctioning was done bv Will Warren. Dale Tucker, county Democratic chairman, said that pledge cards would be sent out to all party members to build the treasury. He intends to put the Kosciusko County Party on the map.

When Democrats serve all the people, they will be accused of not serving the "right" people, he added. The party can counter these charges by leading by example. Hogsett said. In his office. "We have cut he budget by 10 percent and reduced our staff by 20 percent. At the same time, we have increased our office hours and are handling an increasing

amount of business. We are doing more with less." Putting "service to the public above any other consideration" is Mhe different philosophy that the Democratic Party brings to government, Hogsett said.

DEMOCRATIC GATHERING — Geoff Paddock. left, executive, director of the Indiana Democratic State Central Committee in Indianapolis; and Dale Tucker, right, county Democratic Party chairman, were on hand at the party’s annual Jefferson-Jackson Dinner on April 17. Paddock said, "I’m real pleased with the state party.” He added that in his travels in the Fourth District, for example, he’s found spirits to be high over the election of Jill Long to Congress. That kind of victory helps, he said, with the recruiting of candidates for the 1990 election. That particular election is especially important because legislative districts will be re-drawn in 1991, following the census in 1990; the party in control of the state legislature will be able to participate in the process. It is important that the Democrats have that control, Paddock added. As for the local party, Paddock pointed to the recent big Democratic wins such as Evan Bayh’s gubernatorial win and Long's congressional win as big boosters for party spirit. He added that those wins will aid him in raising money, recruiting candidates and building the state organization. < Photo by Kate Wolford)

He warned, "All of our gains in recent years will evaporate the • minute the public can distinguish . no between Democrats and Republicans behave in office. If we allow that confusion to happen. our successes will pass away.”
