his sentence of sixty days on In

that" said the Rev. Mr.. .Shumaker
Il do not have anything to give out
about that, because nothing definite
has been effected yet"

formation does not help the situa-
ton any. 1 would rather nothing

Leslie made the statement
that Anderson had kicked
Daley to glory" in a speech at
Ft. Wayne, Tuesday night.
The denial of Judge Anderson
follows:
"That I either publicly or pri-
vately prodded Frank G. Daley as
United States district attorney into
action in cases of political corrup-
ton is not rue.
Always Jealous, Upright
"He was at all times vigilant
Jealous and upright. He prosecuted
his fellow partisans as we'll ss those
of opposite political faith. At nc
time did I suggest that he was either
derelict or negligent in his duties .
Judge Anderson prefaced the
formal statement with the remark
that he had no desire to enter G
political controversy, but that de-
cency and justice seemed 10 dernanC
that he enter a disclaimer wher
direct charges were made involving
his own actions.
The Leslie statement was the first
definite declaration in the long
campaign of innuendo.

versy on the facts" said Anderson

and received the esteem and con-
hdence not only Of myself as judge,
but of all citizens"
Besides maligning Daley, Leslie

reading the speech.
To a crowd of Republican ban

lie voiced the conclusion: MY
friend Mr.. Daley is badly mistaken
when he tells us that the Indiana
people are yearning' for return to

that he is free, footloose and un-
trammeled,' and added he has

said, with respect to Governor Al

Daley, said Leslie, "wss picked
by Tammany and he will be licked
by the people Of Indiana"
Would Mr.. Daley, in further
ance of the mith-Tammany pro-
gram, follow the New York lead
and demand the repeal Of dry en-
forcement legislation in IndiAna?"
Imputing a Tammany aspect to
Dailey's nomination, which, Incl
dentally. preceded Smiths by three
weeks, Leslie said that Tammany's
powers -that-be" met in secret
caucus in the spring of 1927 and
selected Daley for the governorship
race, shifting Evans Woollen to the
presidential race to get rid Of him.
"One OF the saddest, and yet one
of the funniest movies in this
campaign, said Leslie, "is the pic
ture of Frank G. Daley holding on
his phoney halo with one hand
while trying to keep his grip on the
tail of the Tammany Tiger with
the other"
Attempting to belittle Dailey's
eleetion-fraud prosecution, Leslie
turned to ridicule with IF Frank
Daley earned any fame through
sending the Tammany bunch Of
election fraud workers to prison, he
should thank Judge Anderson for
kicking him to glory"
Greedy Utility" Attorney
Swinging from the paradoxical
portrayal of Daley, at once the
product and prosecutor of Tammany,
Leslie launched a TRADE against his
opponents law firm for having
served as utility counsel in hearings
before the public service commits
sion, particularly that of telephone
interests which resulted in rate In
crease.
"a greedy utility attorney" was
the appellation Leslie gave Daley in
interpreting the latter's pledge to
revamp personnel of the commission
as a scheme to give him the power
to name the commissioners.
II have no quarrel and you have
no quarrel with these public utility
lawyers for practicing law in what
ever field they may find most lucra-
tive" Leslie said. 1--WE do object
when they try to put one of their
number in the Governors chair to
name the public service commission
members and to appoint judges
where vacancies occur"
