OPEN LETTER
To WARREN T. MORAY.

To WARREN 7. MORAY,
Republican Candidate for Governor.
Dear Warren-There seems to be
a general impression in Indiana
that you are seeking not only to
succeed Jim Goodrich in the state
house, but also to succeed him IN
the centralized dictatorship which
the people were foolish enough to
allow him to establish.
Can not you spare a little time
from your many business interests
to tell the voters whether you
would, If elected, continue the Good
rich parolefest, utility rate raising,
pardoning fund and tax law manip-
ulation?
Remember, you are running on
platform that indorsesJ all these
things and let us know whether you
really desire TO see them perpe-
tuated.
