A Challenge to J- BARVBTV, MORLBT "LOSING" GROUND Yes, the campaign of personalities is on; "Roosevelt is losing ground," every Wall street "kept" magazine and newspaper is propounding it; they're constructing a bandwagon for fools to climb on all right. Even the staid Review of Reviews pukes a potfull with the current number. Democracy might better have saved some of its ballyhoo, now worn out, for use later on. They're spreading it with about the same thickness as their "Soak the Thrifty" propaganda to detract the public mind from the "soak the rich" idea, which it has been discovered was only too welcome.

The psychologists are working day and night on new ways and means of flamdoodling the feebleminded. South Bend Mirror. THE OUTS THAT WANT BACK IX It is the business of a party out of office to get back into office. Keep-, ing this fact in mind, it is not hard to see through the dust barrage that Republicans are throwing up to obscure the improved conditions in Indiana and the United States. Anybody who has given fifteen minutes to the study of political strategy should know at once that that all this chatter about Rosevelt's endangering the constitution is hooey.

It Is hooter than Hooey Long at his worst. The Greensburg Times. EAGLES OFFICIAL LAUDS McXUTT Action of Gov. Paul V. McNutt in holding in reserve a part of the state treasury surplus to insure Indiana's participation in the proposed Federal Social Security program is lauded by Otto P.

Deluse, pioneer old-age pension leader. Mr. Deluse, as chairman of the Indiana pension commission of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, has led the pension campaign In Indiana since 1921. "The governor's action," Mr. Deluse said, "probably will obviate the necessity for a special session of the legislature, with its attendant cost, and at the same time assure at least' a partially adequate contribution by the state to the national social security program.

"It should lead to a definite answer to this question, 'Shall Indiana continue an inadequate pension system in conection wih the costly inhuman poorhouses, or shall both be replaced by an Inadequate pension "Only an aroused citizenship can give the aged poor of Indiana a square deal. Despite the fact that the pension law became effective Jan. 1, 1934, there are counties which are paying a mere pittance to the aged poor and many thousands of individuals who have qualified are not receiving assistance because county officials have wilfully failed Jo provide funds. "This deplorable situation exists despite the fact that the pension law is mandatory upon counties and despite the fact that at no time has the state faltered in paying its half of pension costs. "With the assurance that the state treasury surplus will be devoted in part to meeting pension costs, every Indiana citizen who believe old men and women should be treated recently will demand effective steps by county officials when the federal program becomes a fact.

SPEAKIXG OF FUNDAMENTALS Those Republican editors at Wa-wasee verified all public suspicions that ranks of their party are without leadership, without a constructive program and without any understanding of the modern social and political problems. They backed away from an invitation by liberals in their party for a reorganization and housecleanlng; they demonstrated party indecision and confusion when a straw vote showed 36 candidates for President and 68 for governor, and when it came to drawing up resolutions they echoed the cry of Wall Street, "Back to the Constitution." Thousands of Hoos-iers interested in old age pensions, job insurance, social security, farm relief, work progress, and Recovery will find small comfort for their hopes and aspirations in reading of this and other "Grass Roots" That American industry is doing all within its power to discredit the New Deal is evident by the course of events within the past two months. Industrial sabotage has been prac-' ticed repeatedly. Manfacturing concerns have laid off men even when their orders were far ahead of the (Continued on Page 2) mm George Anspaugh Discusses Illinois Politics Political activities and politicians In Chicago and the state of Illinois were discussed before the Angola Rotary Club Friday evening by George Anspaugh, who has been employed as a lobbyist in the Illinois General Assembly by the Chicago Teachers' Association. Under this discussion it was apparent that the City of Chicago is ruled most of the time by a more or less corrupt city administration, and that the people really vote for the lesser of two evils.

If a reform candidate succeeds in being elected, he is at the mercy of the scheming politicians so that little improvement is accomplished, and the voters really prefer the man who is able to give the largest portion of good, even if It is known that some crooked deals are put over. Mr. Anspaugh stated that the leadership in both parties at the present time in state politics is at a pretty low point, and that Influences a good deal different than purely political are at work In publicizing the character of the men who are elected to office. Mr. Anspaugh's address had a vein of humor through It which made the talk exceedingly Interesting, as well as informative.
