GilliOm Talked


Without any announcement to that
effect, the speeches. recently made by
Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom
are regarded as his opening gun for
1928.
Their gist has been toler with
slight sprinkling of wet" tendency
and they have been effective. Geog.
raphy, too, would help Gilliom, be-
cause the northern part of the State
has not had a Governor for many
years. He is from South Bend.
NJ. Bert Thurman, collector Of in
ternal revenue for Indiana, thinks
he can fill the chair. However, with
the Watson machine missing on a
few cylinders since the election Nov.
4, the collector probably will come
to the conclusion that a Federal Job
beats a State contest.
Walter Bossert, former Grand
Dragon of Ku Klux Klan and poll
teal foe of Senator James E. Wat
son, may throw his hat into the ring.
If he does the candidacy of Frederick
E. Schortemeier. secretary OF State,
will be hurt more than that of any
other.
Distribution Of license plates and
control of the State highway police
has helped Schortemeicr in building
up an organization. He has accepted
many invitations to speak to
churches and Sunday schools and
has been an avid hand shaker since
the Legislature convened.
The fright of succession" may
play some part in his case as Jack
son was secretary Of State until
elected Governor.

least discussed Republican candidate
is Harry G. Leslie, House speaker,
who makes Lafayette his home.
AS secretary of Purdue University
alumni Leslie is known throughout
Indiana. His defeat of Lemuel A.
-Pittenger, Coffin-T rotter-J Jackson

Former Lieutenant Governor Ed
Bush of Salem has his eye on the
office. :. He has also seen the Tex.

Bush started out by lambasting
the utilities and urging abolition of

is now the lobbyist for the Farm
Bureau Federation, and has been
the center Of some stormy battles
in the farmer ranks. Bush is cred
tied with being the originator of the
luxury tax idea during this session

divided.

8 ASPIRE TO

|0F Governor
And All See Advantage in
Present Direct Pri-
mary.
BY Frank j. Primes

Tinkering with the direct primary
has brought many bills into the legis-
iaive hopper. All of them have
fot nd opposition chiefly because
there are eight known candidates
for the office of State executive on
the Republican side. Friends of
each Of these candidates see some
advantage in the primary law which
was scored by both parties in con-
ventions last summer.
With both parties pledged to a
revision of the direct primary neither
has had the courage to make the
promised fight against public
opinion.
Many a gubernatorial candidate
has seen the light" since the con-
ventions adjourned last May. Each
one has a following which sees pos

vote for choice.

Republican State chairman, who
toured Indiana before the Legisla-
ture convened in behalf of primary
repeal as a party measure" is

Editors throughout the State, who
saw nothing but ruin" and lex

about it now.

Governorship until he made charges
that ION every hand evidence may
be seen of the money interest of

his investigation into Indiana poll.

convention would do his bidding II

INCREASED Tire
BUSINESS! seen
Goodyear President Pre-
diets IL Per Cent Gain.

By United Press
AKRON, Ohio, sept. 27.-An in
crease of IL per cent in the worlds
tire business this year was forecast
today by P. w. Litchfield, president
of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company.
Pointing out that tire sales had
been made in the face of unusual
and unsatisfactory weather condi-
tons, Litchfleld said, yet, despite
these bars there is hardly a single
major rubber company which has
not enjoyed larger sales than it
had expected"
Coupled with Litchfield's state
nent were figures ON the condition
OF the Goodyear company which &C
count in measure for activities in
the security on the New York stock
market.
While sales of the whole industry
were increasing on the basis of IL
per cent for the entire year in units,
Goodyear sales in the term of dol
lars increased twenty per cent in
eight months, Litchfield said.
Goodyear's next annual state
ment is expected to show a total
of around S25O,00o,OOO in sales.
The company broke all produc-
ton records last month, Litchfield
said.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Prices
moved in narrow rut in early trad
ing on the stock exchange today.
While some irregularity was noted
at the outset this was quickly elm
mated by another burst of activity in
General Motors new stock which
opened lower but recovered to the
previous close.
U. s. Steel began the day at the
last price of yesterday 149, rising to
1917 and then declining to the
initial level where it held steady.
Allied Chemical. American Can and
several others made no change.
Oils firrned up following another
decline in production, while rail is
sues were generally stronger. In the
former group producers and refiners
advanced In fairly good demand,
while in the latter Missouri Pacific
Spurted nearly point to 81, New
Haven rose y to 81 and New York
Central held steady.
Utilities Lose
Utilities were fairly active but lost
ground slightly while steels eased
also with motors. Specialties con-
tinued to make progress.
Transactions in early trading
were noticeably diminished by the
absence Of many traders on account
Of the religious holidays. The mar
ket was forced to absorb further cor
receive selling and leaders displayed
a heavy tone.
"Stecl common and General Mo-
tors were freely offered around the
low levels of the movement. Utili-
ties moved against the trend, Com
monwealth Power advancing to a
fresh record high, while National
Power and Light duplicated the
years high"
Noon Drive
Failure of the late morning rally
to develop vigor encouraged a drive
around noon. Steel common was
forced to new low ground at 148A,
of q.
In connection with the renewed
decline reports were widespread
that strength of Sterling would re-
suit in a drain of gold from the
country. But international bank
ers declined the belief.
While Atchison, New York Central
and other high-grade rails displayed
a somewhat heavy tone, offerings of
railroad stocks were not large.
New Haven displayed pronounced
strength, moving up tx to 521s.

B0RER DEMONSTRATION
Stalk Cutting Method Shown in
Three Northern Counties.

BIZ united Press
= AURORA, Ind, sept. ga new
drive against the European corn
borer opened in the infested area
of northern Indiana Monday with
demonstrations of cutting cornstalks
at the grounds.
The demonstrations were held in
Steuben. Allen and De Kalb Coun-
ties. They were arranged by the
respective county agents, L. E. Hoff-
man, Purdue University, and P. T.
Ullman of the State entomologist's
Office.
The low cutting machines pro-
vided by the Government for the
work will cut the corn so the stub
bic is more than two inches high.
and usually is lower than that. 1t
is hoped that by application of the
system the borers which may be at
their work in the stalks now may
be prevented from going down into
the roots for the winter.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Home
brew is liquor, as far as Federal pro-
hibition officials are concerned.
Prohibition Commissioner j. M.
Doran said today that home made
beer falls in the same category as
gin, whisky, rum, bourbon and 9TH
or hard drinks and that its manu-
facture is illegal. Rules relating to
intoxicating beverages affect it, DR..
Doran explained to the United
Press. .
In the opinion of dry authorities
there is no private brew made with
in the legal one-half of l per cent
alcohol requirement.
Manufacture of home brew is il
legal without permit and the Gov
eminent will not issue permit for
nome brew manufacturing.
DR.. Doran said all production of
cereal beverage drinks is under
Government supervision - except
home brewing-and the Federal
forces could not concentrate on the
small manufacturers.

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-Opening

opened &c higher to nc lower;
corn, 1Ac to 1asc lower, and oats
unchanged to &c off.
Sentiment in the wheat pit is
still bearish, with all traders in
clined to sell on the hard spots.
Canadian weather today was i'm
proved, indicating that harvesting
there would be completed shortly
and that grain would flood the mar
kets for some time. The visible
supply increase this week was the
largest in many months. Liverpool
was slightly stronger this morning.
Frost failed to appear in the corn
belt last night as had been forecast.
but rains were general.
Oats are fundamentally the
strongest grain, but this pit requires
strong movement in wheat or
corn to influence activity.
Provisions opened unchanged.

INDIANA WHEAT
RECEIPTS Low
Acreage Reduced by Last
Falls Rains.

BIZ Times Special
Reduced wheat acreage, due to
last falls rains, together with re-
duced yields, have reduced receipts
at Indiana country elevators APP
proximately so per cent below last
years total at this time, accord
ing to reports received by the Cen
trail States Soft Wheat Growers
Association, the Indiana Farm Bu-
reau wheat pool. This, according to
officials of the association, accounts
for the fact that, the pool this year
has received only about half of its
total deliveries of last year. Up to
Sept. "a the pool had received a
total of 2,039,046 bushels, against
the total of last year of something
more than 100000 bushels. Deliv-
cries, however, are continuing, with
the prospect that the total for the
year may reach two and a quarter
million bushels during the year.
Wheat stored in home bins is
showing weevil, according to reports
to the association. This is due to
storing wheat while too damp and
to the hot, dhy weather that fol-
lowed. Considerable mold also is
reported. The association is adj
vising its members to get all their
wheat to the elevators or terminals
as soon as possible in order that
it may be put through conditioning
processes. With the close of the
seeding season, and with improved
prospectsfor corn, deliveries are ex-
pected to show substantial in
crease.
Reports to the association indi-
cate that there was considerable
early wheat sowing over the State.
This, according to the association,
involves the risk of increasing the
Hessian fly, as much of the wheat
was sown before the 1iy-free date.
