THE KOKOMO TRIBUNE. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1935 Local V.F.W. Post Plans Activities For Near Future FIVE George Ray Goudy Post! BY WILLIS THOBNTOJV Veterans of Foreign Wars! XEA Service Staff Correspondent will 4oU'the regular meeting on First fruits of the new political "next" Wednesday night in Post campaign of the Townsend Plan are 503 Washington street, in the bag. TOWNSEND VICTORY IN MICHIGAN PRIMARY REVEALS ORGANIZATION'S PLAN FOR CONTROL OF CONGRESS RECEIVES PROMOTION All members are urged to be pres-1 ent as this will be the first meeting since the installation of the new officers for the ensuing year. Commander Shively has announced that the complete list of committees will be named at this time.

The committee recently named to act on entertainments have secured a tentative dale for trie appearance of the famous W. L. S. A snow-under victory in Michigan congressional primary would seem to justify the decision of Townsenders to adopt the same political tactic? that won such complete success for the Anti-Sa loon League under Wayne B. Wheeler.

Dr. Francis E. Townsend, who came into this district to stump his candidate, regarded this minstrel umt and all members of campaign a test of the nev the Post activities committee are tactics, telling hearers that "MC requested to meet at the hall as tory W0 uld set loose forces that early as possible Wednesday night in order that they may have their committee meeting just before the regular meeting convenes. Communication from the national headquarters relative to the called bonus and a method of pro- that in 193G Townsend votes will senting the soldiers side of the argument relative to the immediate cash payment will come up for discussion. The membership drive being put on fay three teams is still would give the Townsend movement complete control of the next Congress." Townsend is so -confident a these tactics will succeed that he assured a Pittsburgh audience control the election in every state west of the Mississippi.

"Whoever supports the Townsend Plan we will elect," says the soft-spoken leader. "Candidates accede to our demands--or full swing and the race is so close stay home!" that only a few votes separate Last year Townsend efforts were thftm. All members of each team are requested to be present at this meeting as the attendance of each member counts in the final score. TWO CHILDREN DIE OF POISONED FOOD; FIVE ILL Port Scott. Nov.

25-- (fl --Dr. S. Gooch, county health physician, said that food poison- caused the deaths of two children an-J the serious illness of five. other persons who attended a school- pie supper near here Friday night. Heita Ann- Wilson, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Levi of near Fort Scott, died Sunday night. Her brother. Robert, died Saturday night. Three other Wilson children are among those ill.

The source of the poisoning has not been established. Friendship Circle Meets Flora, Nov. Busy Bee Friendship Circle met at the home of Mrs. Jessie Kirk, in Flora, Wednesday, all day. Ten members and one guest were present.

Dottie Waltman, former member of the class -who is now married and lives in Flora, became a circle member. The afternoon was spent sewing and contests. The hostess entertained witb. a piano solo-and-a vocal solo which were greatly enjoyed. The next meeting will be held Dec.

18. at the home of Mrs. Margaret Feightner, 1623 South CouriJand avonue. Each member is asked to bring a covered dish, her own table service and a ten-cent gift. THROAT RAW AND SORE? Cuinmnn Sore Tlirimt Ucllcvcd In 15 Without Cartcllne; For real relief, don't depend on treatments.

Next year, while organization work will continue, the main battle will be fought in the congressional districts, concentrating in turn on each district in support of any candidate who will pledge himself to vote for the Townsend Plan. Once enough pro-pledged congressmen are elected, the Townsend general staff declares, the plan is in.

CONVERTS IN CONGKJSSS. In the meantime, leaders claim between 40 and 50 "converts" in the Congress convening in January and the first effort will be concentrated on getting the McGroarty bill, or some modification of it, out of the committees which rejected it last session and onto the floor for open discussion. The Michigan victory was a pretty good example of what will bo seen in scores of districts next year. Five- candidates ran for the Republican nomination for Congress in a special election brought on by the death of Rep. Henry M.

Kimbali. Among them was Verner W. Main, a Battle Creek lawyer, a churchman, and a dry, rather well known in the district, and with some church and dry support in addition to his avowed Townsend- ito following. All four opponents came out for "workable old-age pensions," but Main was the only straight Townsend candidate. WINS SWEEPING VICTORY Claiming 5000 Townsend club members in the district, Townsend himself came on to join Main in a speaking tour, to stump the district, and assure complete delivery of the vote.

Result: Main polled more votes than ail four of his opponents together. Credit for his overwhelming victory was given by Main to the influence of Townsend and the plan chief's activities in the campaign, rather than to his own personal popularity. The special election is Dec. 17, when Main will run against the unopposed Democratic nominee, Howard W. Cavanagh.

This district has elected Republican congressmen for 40 years. Cavanagh's only hope, of course, is.that the Town- candidate will have split the Vorner Main Republican vote so badly as to let Cavanagh in. That is a fair cross-section of the new Townsend policy--a policy of demanding of candidates a pre- pledA'e on a single issue, "turning on the heat" in one district after another as needed. It is very old and time-tested American political tactics, brought to finest flower by Wheeler in the clays when he was wielding the League bludgeon. LEGION GROWS RAPIDLY The Townsond movement is spreading with great rapidity.

No one knows exactly how many local clubs there are. Frank Dyer, Townsend Legion head, estimates between -1000 and 5000. Dr. Toxvn- send recently estimated 6000. In addition.

Dyer's Legion now has more than 10,000 members, he estimates, and 100,000 is his aim. This is a sort of independent organization functioning in behalf of the plan, and with the same officers as the Townsencl organization. Legion- members pay SI a month dues, whereas ordinary club members pay as low as 10 cents a month, or no dues at all if they can't afford it. Dyer's Legion organization plans to enter broadcasting on a national scale in behalf of i plan this winter. The 5000-odd Townsend clubs are widely distributed nationally.

Dyer claims, though the South is the weakest spot at present. There are some 200 paid employes of the organization, Townsencl estimates, including organizers who work on a commission basis. ROLL PAST MILLION Minimum membership for a Townsend club in 100. If there are 5000 clubs, that is a rock-bottom minimum of a half-million members. But clubs range in size up to the parent group in Lrs Angeles, which has 18,000 members.

So nobody knows just how many active Townsend club members there are -probably more than a million. Dr. Townsend estimates between two and three million. All these paid a 25-cent fee to join, but Townsend told a Detroit audience that not 5 per cent of them now pay regular' dues. The organization has collected and disbursed about S600.000, he said.

R. E. Clements, the 40-year-old former real estate operator, ho is the "spark plug" of organization, is also the country, speaking and organizing with Dyer and Townsend himself. Clements is urging a strong lobbying cam- on present congressmen, and agrees with Townsend that "nothing on rth can stop us now. 1 IGNORES TARTY LINES The Townsend congressional campaign, like that of the Anti-Saloon League, disregards the parties.

Republican or Democrat, Socialist, Communist, Farmer- Labor, or Epic, it is all the same if the candidate pledges himself to vote Townsend. No presidential candidate has been selected, as none has as yet come out for the plan. But Townsend eyes naturally gravitate to William E. Borah of Idaho. Borah has never declared himself definitely for the.

plan, but is sympathetic, has never condemned it, and there is no doubt that the Townsend leaders look or. Borah as "our man," and that "his heart is right." Borah, of course, was always the idol of the Anti-Saloon League, and there is a close coincidence between the Townsend membership and the former supporters of the dry cause. Wayne Wheeler is regarded by some oC the Townsend leaders as the ideal politician. And Borah is not unsconscious of the fact that Idaho is a strong Townsencl state. The union between the Townsend followers and Father Coughlin's National Union for Social Justice is not an airtight one.

There is little in common between the two causes except opposition to Roosevelt. It is more than possible, however, that in the cases of specific candidates in specific congressional districts, the two might lorn forces. WM. A. COOPER ELECTED VICE PRESIDENT OF STOVU COMPANY AT OWOSSO, MICH.

Judgment of $211 was awarded Jack Greenfield against Jerry Norris, Wayne Cunningham and Mrs. Vera Togstad, because ol damages William A.

Mr.

Cooper has been with I the company since 1934. The Owosso Argus-Press commenting on the election says, "During his brief association with the local company, Mr. Cooper has contributed many new developments in the design of the firm's products. For the last year he has been merchandising manager and in charge of sales development. "In elevating Mr.

Cooper to office of vice-president, the board of directors expressed the belief that he will contribute much to the growth of the local company. Sales of the firm this year have exceeded the business of the past five years." Mr. Cooper was reared in this city and spent eighteen years with the Globe American Corporation here, having an important part in designing heating equipment. From this city he went to Dowagiac, where he' spent some years with Premier Warm Air Heater Company before accepting the place with the Owosso manufacturers. Word of his promotion will give much satisfaction to relatives and friends in Kokomo, who have every confidence that he will make good.

Wikel, 114 East Jefferson street, the last survivor of the old tailoring staff of th'; old Kennedy Williams store of forty years or more ago. Three Arrests For Violation Of Speed Police station records show that there are still motorists who have not learned that local police are continuing a relentless drive on traffic law violations.

Most of the arrests over the week-end were under traffic violation charges.
