Twenty THE HAMMOND TIMES Sunday, June 25, 1939. GOP HOPEFULS BUILD FENCES FOR '40 RACE Many See Chance to Win Next Year; Expect Contests For All Offices SHE QUALIFIED By LOUIS P. ADE Taking heart from 1938 election gains of the party and the reported trend towards conservatism, prospective Lake county candidates on the republican ticket are beginning to pop up with such regularity that the 1940 primary promises wide open races for almost every office. In short, scores of politically ambitious republicans, who didn't think 1936 or 1939 the opportune years to get their necks out, are building or mending fences--as their respective ses may be--with an eye towards support next May 1. Belshaw in Race Beginning with the top of the ticket, let's see who is being mentioned for the nominatino for congressman, the which William F.

Schulte, a 100 per cent New Dealer, has -held down since the 2932 election. First, there is M. Elliott Belshaw, Hammond attorney and the unopposed 1938 nominee of the republican party. Belshaw created considerable favorable comment by his aggressive campaign last fall, and judging by his platform utterances, he can be considered friendly to labor, more or less an important qualification in industrial Lake county. Belshaw is almost certain to be opposed by a half-dozen other aspirants.

Among the names mentioned at this ti is that of Frank Galvin, brother and law partner of Tim, whom party leaders have been attempting to induce to run for six years. Maybe Starr Will Run Others in the congressional picture are Arthur Travers, Gary automobile dealer who finished third in the 1936 GOP primary: W. Vincent Youkey, Crown Point mayor, County Chairman Fred F. Schultz, Who is president of the Lake County Central Labor union, AFL affiliate, and John Sabo, Gary City controller. Oliver Starr, Gary attorney who sought to win the GOP senatorial nomination in the 1938 convention, is reported undecided whether to make a bid for junior United States senator, the post held by Sherman Minton, or attempt to work out his political future via the house of representatives in the job now held by Schulte.

Reliable sources in the party indicate that Schutz's decision to run for congress depends on his future status as county chairman. Dr. David 'Johns, first district chairman, at the Lowell rally June 14, urged that Schutz remain at the helm, not only for the remainder of this term, but for another two years. Draper in Race In the race for prosecutor, party leaders said Virgil E. Whitaker, Hammond attorney and twice the GOP nominee by overwhelming margins, would most likely make the race again.

There is a possibility that he might be opposed by Floyd Draper, Gary city attorney and a former deputy prosecutor who would no doubt have the sup port of Mayor Ernst L. Schaible's organization. Willard Van Home, East Chicago lawyer and former city chairman, is reported to have eyes on the prosecutorship along with Herman Key, former Gary city judge, and Louis Holland, Gary attorney Three names are said to be definitely in the hat for the office of sheriff. They are Frank Galloway, thrice nominated: Louis H. O.

Wolf, Hammond cleaning and dying company owner, and Dr. Elmer E. Watts, Gary dentist and brother of Dr. Albert A. Watts, unsuccessful candidate for the mayoralty nomination of Gary a year ago last spring.

And if Dr. E. E. Watts runs for sheriff, he will have the support of his brother's organization, no mean factor in a Gary primary. Schonert Mentioned James McShane, Hammond business man, has indicated that he will again be a candidate for renomina- tion for county treasurer, he may be opposed by Dr.

Marlon McCormick, former East Chicago controller and GOP 1938 mayoralty nominee. Francis L. "Doc" Wilson, young Hammond business man who won the 1936 nomination for auditor, is reported ready to make the race again, but his opposition has made no appearance to date. In Hammond, friends of former Mayor Charles O. Schonert are attempting to induce him to run for county commissioner.

They point out that he is least likely to have serious opposition, although Dan Eder, 1938 nominee for township trustee, has indicated that he would like to run for commissioner COL, ENDS LIFE IN EIFFEL DIVE Czech Officer Suicides at Height of Gayety of the Windsors' Party (Charmame Studio) NINA LEE SHEETZ When they decide "Miss Hammond of 1955" at the Parthenon theater July 12, little Nina Lee Sheets will be a strong contender.

Be-drich Benes, who was named Czecho- Slovakian military attache here last March only a few days before Germany swallowed up his republic, was being investigated by police today. Col.

Benes--who is no relation to Edouard Benes, former president of Czecho-Slovakia and now a resident of Chicago hurtled to his death at p. last night from the first platform of the Eiffel tower, not far from where the duke of Windsor and the duchess were celebrating the duke's 45th birthday. The occasion also marked the 50th anniversary of the famous tower's construction. Benes went over the railing at the height of the gayety as 400 of the most important social, military, governmental and diplomatic officials of Paris dined. Benes himself was not a guest- as he would have been if Czechoslovakia was still a country--and he was not white tie and tails or uniform as the other men were.

Thousands of persons frolicked amid a circus below when the Czechs fell among them. The guests above were unaware of the tragedy and when the duchess of Windsor left she remarked that the party was "lovely, simply lovely Police could say only that Benes met his death through murder or suicide--an accident being impossible owing to the height of the rail ing. Col. Kalina, former Czech mill tary attache in Paris, told police that Benes, a flaming patriot who fought for the allies against Ger many on the Italian front in the World war, had taken the nation's tragedy exetremely hard.
