With twenty-five miles to go,
Boyer was leading the great Earl
Copper by only twelve seconds and
both drivers were taking turns with
a desperation that seemed to make
a crash certain. Both took several
skids, but pulled out. 1t was with a
sigh of relief that pit attendants and
officials saw Cooper come with a bad
front tire, giving Boyer a clear field
for victory in the final laps.

been killed sure had It come to

timer said.

NEW ADVANTAGES
ARE CLAIMED BY
ALL CANDIDATES
Parties See Gains as Re-
suit of Labor Day
Addresses.
BY PAUL r. MALLON,

BIZ United Press stan C0rreSp 0ndent
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Having
passed the first milestone of the
presidential campaign Labor day,
each of the three candidates is claim
ing new strength from the ranks of
their opponents.
Spokesman here for President
Coolidge and John w. Davis now
claim they will divide half Of the
labor vote of the country between
them. La Toilette, they claim. may
get the remainder, but will only be
fraction of what previously haC
been conceded him.
Bow to Labor
These new claims We're advanced
as results of Labor day addresses of
Coolidge and Davis in which the
Republican candidate presented a
platform Unexpectedly conciliatory to
labor and the Democrat drew a
warm approval from some union
mine leaders.
La Toilette, meantime, received
scores of enthusiastic kilograms
from his leaders throughout the
country, notification of more money
raised and pledges of support.
Coolidge May Speak
Following up the newly claimed
advantage, Davis has gone West on
tour, Coolidge is now reported con
sidering a trip to the midwest for
two or three speeches, Senator
Wheeler Of the Independent ticket is
crusading through New England. La
Toilette is preparing to start shortly.
Reports that the Democratic ma
tional committee would investigate
rumors that the expenses Of the la
Dor delegation which called on Presi-
dent Coolidge had been paid by the
Republican committee were denied
by Democratic headquarters.
Report Is Denied
William B. Wilson. former Secre-
tary of Labor and head OF the labor
division of the committee. fatty de-
clared that the committee had no
such intention.
Members Of the committee yester-
day told newspaper men that they
had paid their own expenses annd
that T. V. O'Connor, chairman Of
the Shipping Board. who headed the
delegation, said no believed the com
mittee knew nothing about the com
ing Of the delegation.

heard addresses in the morning be-
fore the grandstand by e. J. Hen
ming. assistant secretary of labor,
and Dixon H. Bynum, member Of the
State industrial board. More than
forty labor organizations were rep
resented.
Hoosiers Take HOnOrs
Indiana entries and riders took
first honors in five OF the sixteen
saddle and driving events ar the
horse show. So popular did the
evening horse show prove that
throughout the remainder OF the
week this event promises to be one
Of the most popular.
The older generations Of Hosoiers
were far from having things 10 them
selves. Never at any previous fair
have the boys and girls taken such
a prominent part. They have their
own schools, exhibits and clubs and
every effort has been made to stimu-
late interest in agricultural pursuits
among the youngsters.
Tonight members of the lamb and
poultry clubs will parade in the Coli
scum, and later members of the boys
camp will join the girls Of the home
economies school in special exercises
IL the grove adjoining the camp.
Boys and Girls Parade
Monday night the boys and home
economies girls held a colorful pa
rade in the Coliseum following a din
ner in the boys mess hall for win
ners of the pig and calf clubs.
The exhibits undoubtedly are the
largest and most complete in the
history OF the fair More htan half
the States OF the Union and three
provinces of Canada are represented.
The new buildings have made pos
sible a far more effective and attrac-
tive display OF exhibits and a wider
range of attractions has been pro
vided than ever before.

AUDITOR SUBMITS
27-CENT LEVY TO
COUNTY Fathers
Does Not Favor Reductions
Proposed by Chamber of
Commerce.
Commerce,

Despite arguments Of the Chamber
of Commerce that Marion County
need increase in its tax levy only
cents county councilmen, meeting
today in annual session to consider
the 1925 budget of $2.O70,500, de-
manded by courthouse officials, said
it is probable the rate will be in
creased 9 cents.
This would make a total Of 27
cents instead of the 81 for 1924.
County Auditor Harry Dunn said he
would submit the Chamber of Com
-merce plan TO the council, but would
also present figures showing why
the rate must be 27 cents.
Whatever Dunn recommends the
council will fix" councilmen said be-
fore entering the two-day session.
The county budget is divided into
four funds: General, sinking, tn
5erculosis and road.
Road Expenses Heavier
County commissioners control the
road fund, and they recommended
an increase of cent, making 413
cents Tor repair OF improved ROADS
Auditor Dunn has said he does not
favor this increase. and this levy
probably viii remain go cents. The
law, however. compels Dunn to make
known TO the council the commits
sioners' request for road funds. with
mis- own recommendation.
The increase of cents as recon-
mended by Dunn provides additional
money for the sinking fund, which is
used to pay interest on county debt
and retire principal on the debt.
The increase is necessary. Dunn
said, because Leo K. Fesler, former
auditor, fixed the 1924 levy too low
to meet actual expenses with a view
to pleasing the public"
The IL cents for the sinking fund
will raise $S73.O0O. figured on an as
sessed valuation Of $72s, 100000 for
the county.
Comparison Of the 1924 rate and
that submitted the council by Audi
tor Dunn for 1925:
