Most Of the remarks Of Mr. Bookwalter
were devoted to exposure Of the political
methods Of what he termed the evening
mudwallower" as he las found them IN
twenty-five years Of public life. He said
he was going to say that the News was
q good newspaper because the paper al
ways took such great delight In quoting
him upon that and that that was about
the only thing he was correctly quoted
upon therein.
"But, thank Cad, we have two other
to think for themselves and the courage
TO stand up and say what they think"
He said he had not always agreed with
the Indianapolis Star. but that he was
glad to see # on the right side this
time.
Then there's the Daily Times. It's
just as Independent as a hog on ice.
They're 4 little bit inclined 10 be Demo
cratic. but then they're sort 81 homeo-
pathic about it and it isn't very hard to
swallow It the way they give 1t to you"
