MAN
SUPPORTED IN
Mayor RACE
East Chicago Situation
Among Unusual Ones
in Indiana.
CANDIDATE BY PARDON
Prisoner Coolidge Freed
Seeks Highest Gary
Office.

Voters in Indiana cities and towns
will go to the polls Tuesday to
elect municipal officials with I'M
usual situations prevailing at some
points.
One of these situations is in East
Chicago, where Mayor Raleigh P.
Hale, facing a federal indictment
charging conspiracy to violate the
prohibition laws, remains on the
Republican ballot as candidate for
reelection. Among developments
in the campaign is announcement
of Frank Callahan, former mayor.
that he is aligned with the forces
supporting Hale.
Roswell o. Johnson, Republican
candidate for mayor of Gary, was
pardoned by President Coolidge
after being convicted of plotting
dry law violation. 1t is predicted
he will defeat Emmett N. White, his
Democratic opponent.
Mayor Quit Race
Anderson has witnessed some I'M
usual political moves in the last few
weeks, including resignation from
the Republican ticket of F. M. Will
liams, candidate for reelection as
mayor. He took that step after all
other candidates deserted him, 60
ing over to Citizens ticket. After
he quit, the ticket was made the
Republican slate. It's candidate for
mayor is A. P. Priest.
Henry Quigley, Republican, Is
conceded victory in the mayoralty
race at Kokomo, which normally
returns a majority of 1000 over the
Democrats. However, there is a
strong campaign on for control of
the city council so that defeat of
James P. Davis, Democratic can
didate for mayor, will not neces-
sarily mean complete rout of his
party.
George Dale, militant editor, who
is the Democratic candidate for
mayor of Muncie, is providing the
fireworks for the campaign there,
which is remarkable in that charges
are being made to the effect that
Earl Randolph, Republican city
chairman, is favorable to Dale, while
Wilbur Sims, the Democratic lead
er, is friendly to Robert Barnes,
Republican candidate for mayor.
Quiet at Evansville
j. Stuart Hopkins, Republican
candidate for mayor of Evansville
by virtue of his defeat in the spring
primary of Mayor Herbert Males
and his cohorts, and Frank w.
Griese, his Democratic opponent,
have conducted comparatively quiet
campaigns. Politicians are predict
ing a light vote.
Michigan City is politically "up
in the air." due mostly to the de-
cision by the Indiana supreme court
that the city manager law by which
it had been governed Is unconstitu-
tional. The latest development is
ruling by the state board of cleo
ton commissioners that the filing
by Republican candidates was. lille
gal. The list was given the city
clerk under the manager form. The
state board says it should have
been given the clerk who took Of
flee after the federal form was re-
stored following the court decision.
One of the quietest campaigns in
history is being carried on at Ft.
Wayne. William j. Hosey, three
times mayor, is the Democratic can
didate for the Office, and is opposed
by Jacob Bill, Republican, and
James T. Johnson, independent.
Normally, Fl. Wayne is Republican
by about 5000 margin.
Khan Issue Raised
Among the hotly contested town
elections, the one at Dublin is out
standing, the khan issue being in
the spotlight. Three members Of
the present anti-klan board of
trustees may be replaced by those of
other views, as only one, Robert
Lingenfelder, is seeking reelection.
One town, Gimco, in Madison
county, will hold its first election
Tuesday, having been only recently
incorporated. 1t has only seven
voters, and four Offices are to be
filled. Another new town in the
same county, Aladdin, will hold its
second election. There is but one
ticket in each.
Summitville's election will be the
ultimate in harmony. There is but
one ticket, the Democratic.
