lists i'm the city is inheritance from
Democratic administration which will re-
quire more than term of Republican
rule to eliminate. 1t is a big job.
All know that Hoffman is but the tip
of the tail of the Democratic party in In
dianapolis. In the event of such an i'm
probable thing as his election as mayor,
which would do the wagging-the beast,
or this tip of its tail? Holtzman's subser-
viency to his party i'm the past is the an
swer to this question. He is not made of
the stuff that, once elected. would act con-
trary to the wishes of the most active and
influential men of his party. No Demo-
cratic official has ever yet shown that
quality. If he did, he would soon cease
TO be a Democratic official
