COFFIN MACHINE
HAS CRUMBLED,
SAY DEMOCRATS
Election Triumph for Good
Government, Declares
Party Chairman.

The sweeping victory in Tues
days elections was more than a
mere victory of the Democratic
party. 1t was a triumph for good
government. Coffinism has crumbled
beneath the feet of the county
voters" thus H. Nathan Swain,
Democratic county chairman, ap-
praised success of this ticket today.
Tuesday will go down in the his
tory of the county government as
the day when citizens went to the
polls and registered their vigorous
protest against gang rule" he said.
Other Democratic candidates swept
into Office Tuesday echoed Swaim's
enthusiasm for clean government,
and predicted return of economic
prosperity.
Way Opened for Service
A telegram from Mayor Reginald
II. Sullivan from his bed in st. Vim
cents hospital, where he is recupe-
rating from injuries suffered recent
" in an airplane crash in South
Bend, congratulated Swain and the
ticket, together with Democratic
workers and voters.
You and your loyal workers did
a fine job. Marion county today
elected men and women of whom
all citizens of our city may well be
proud" he said.
This tremendous triumph is a
commission to us to do our utmost
10 bring about better times in In
dianapolis and to proceed with the
redemption Of our city from influ-
ences that have disgraced its good
name and blighted its material
progress" Representative Louis Lud-
low, reelected by $4,000 votes, de-
clared.
Victory at the polls has opened
for representatives of our party an
opportunity for service. These rep
resentatives are under solemn oath
to eliminate extravaganza and re-
establish in Indiana government
that is representative in fact" r..
Earl Peters, state Democratic chair
man, said.
Declares Voters Wrong
A statement Of appreciation foT
efforts of Republican workers was
forthcoming from Clyde E. Robin
son, G. o. P. county chairman, who
appended his praises with a decla-
ration that the voters are wrong.
Marion county was no different,
he said, than other counties and
states in reacting toward the pres
emit Republican national administra-
ton, he said.
Herbert E. Wilson, Democratic
victor in the county prosecutors
race, and Judson L. Stark defeated
Republican incumbent, praised each
other for their campaigns, and
stark extended congratulations to
Wilson.

Pointing out that the minority report

contends as to the minoritys claim that
haste in presenting the matter pra-
vented proper consideration: THE in
terestlng point is that the three pro-
testing Senators firmly believe in the
Justice of these objections, despite the
indecent haste with which they have
peen asked to consider the treaty.
Without sufficient time to study it's

More rhetoric than logic" and zap

of the arguments, the Danbury Evening

Announcement is made of the pur-
chase by one of the largest art firms in
the world of the Gustave Dreyfus COL
lection, now located in Paris, for trans
port to the United States and probably
for sale in this country as a unit or by
items. The collection has been valued
by the owning family at about six mil
lion dollars, end though the amount
paid for it now has not been disclosed
the sum is believed to be an approxima-
ton of that figure. This is rated as the
Largest single transaction ever achieved
in the realm of art
The Dreyfus collection comprises sew
eral hundred items, all of the italian
high renaissance" 1t includes paintings.
sculptures, panels, bronzes, terra cottas
and medals. 1t comprises works of YER
rocchio, Leonardo da Vinci, Desiderio da
Settignano, Francesca Laurano, Mino da
Fiesole, Rossellino, the Della Robbias
Francesca Cossa, Filippo Lippi. Filipino
Lippi, Bellini, Neroccio. Donatello Ber-
toldo, Bellano and scores of others whose
names are familiar to students. creators
and apprecators of art. For fifty years
this great treasure has been housed in
apartments Of the Dreyfus family in
Paris 1t was started about sixty years
ago, shortly after the Franco-Prussian
War, by Gustave Dreyfus, a wealthy
French banker, who for forty-three
years after labored increasingly to i'm
prove the quality of the collection.
Interesting speculation is aroused as
to the possible future disposal of this
rare assemblage of art. It is most de-
sirable that it should be kept intact.
Yet purchasers for so costly a collec-
ton as a whole are rare. There may
be some American connoisSeur who is
rich enough to take it as it stands and
either house it for his own pleasure
or give it to one of the great American
museums of art. Such a treatment
would entail an outlay of much more
than six million dollars, in terms of
the profit of the present purchaser and
the provision Of a proper housing for
the collection. Would it be beyond the
range Of reason to suggest that this
treasure be, secured for the Nation with
emplacement in Washington in the Ma
tlonal Gallery, permanent home for
which is soon to be created?
