A BIG OVATION

He said the party must live up to its
every promise or go down into disre-
pute. He advocated a law for the non
partisan election OF judges and OF
municipal officers. saying both these
things should be kept out of party
politics.
He also declared for an amendment
to the primary law, TO safeguard all
votes. The plan he suggested was to
have the primaries on the day of the
first registration, making the registra-
ton boards serve as primary election
boards. He said that where there were
several candidates for one office the
two highest would be the nominees
selected
He also advocated nonpa rtisan school
boards in cities and towns of Indiana.
He said schoclhouses should be used as
social centers for public gatherings.
He favored public utility commission
and referendum vote on public fran
chises for the people of the community
in which the franchise is sought and
favored direct election of United
states senators and a constitutional
convention.
