NNE thing to the credit of the
~ Marion county Republican or
ganization dominated by George V.
Coffin is the CELEBRITY with which it
swings into action.
Although only four days have
elapsed since end of the primary
filing period, the boys in the
trenches know the slate by heart.
Here it is, according to them, for
your reference.
The delegates will vote for Ed
Bush as first choice for Governor
and James M. Ogden as second
choice.
William Henry Harrison is to be
our candidate for the congressional
nomination in the Twelfth and Fred
Dickermap in the Eleventh. and
Judge Harry o. Chamberlin for the
circuit court BENCH
But Coffin is taking Harrison
and Chamberlin, not because he
likes the two, or has entered into
any agreement with them, but be-
cause he needs them to add respec-
liability to his ticket this fall.
The remainder of the slate is re-
cited as follows:
L. Lyn Logsdon for county treas
urer and John o. Lewis for prose-
cutor. And last, but not least, Orel
Chitwood for sheriff.
For years Omer Hawkins has been
the fair-haired boy of the Coffin
organization. AS sheriff, as county
highway superintendent, as jailer
and as county chairman, he always
has been Collins man Friday and
this time he thought that he again
should be the nominee for sheriff.
At a meeting one night last week
in the Office of Schuyler Haas, old
Seventh district chairman, the slate
was selected.
Chitwood, according to the dope,
laid the better part of 800 on the
line and received the assurance that
he would be the preferred one for
the sheriff nomination.
On the way out. Hawkins vented
his ire and declared that he should
and would be a candidate for the
nomination.
II.
Right then and there he was
shorn of power, for Hawkins was at
once notified that he was ousted as
Washington township chairman, in
favor of William D. Balm.
Other changes went into effect
also. Seth Ward who wants to be
the nominee for congress from the
Twelfth. was deposed che says re-
signeO as Third ward chairman
and the old wheelhorse Billy Hamil-
ton is in charge.
Thomas G. Whallon, old Sixth
ward Coffin chairman, was notified
that Tom McNulty has that Job.
incidentally, Ed Hart, Junior Re-
publican leader, recently named
Fourth ward chairman by Coffin to
replace Hamilton, and Oscar H.
Smith, is being talked about for
the figurehead honor of county
chairman.

JUDGE MISCAST
IN HERO ROLE,
OPPONENTSSAY
New Light Is Flashed on
WiIkerSon's Course in
Capone Case.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times stan writer

WASHINGTON. April 6.-Conflr-
nation Of President Hoover's APP
pointment OF District Judge James
II. Wilkerson Of Chicago to the cir
cult court will be opposed by the
senate judiciary subcommittee
which has begun considering quali-
1cations Of the jurist, it was report
ed today.
Wilkerson has been opposed Bit
terly by organized labor and similar
agencies for signing the 1922 shop
mems injunction without holding a
hearing. while he has been support
ed by conservative Chicago interests
because OF the courage he is report
ed 10 have shown in sentencing Al
Capone to prison for long term.
The controversy centering around
nim has been the most exciting
since the senate refused to confirm
Judge John J. Parker for the su-
preme court.
Three Oppose Appointment
It is understood that at least three
members Of the subcommittee will
vote against Wilkerson. They are
said to be the three liberal mem
bers-Walsh Dem, Mont), Dill
Dem, Wash) and Blaine CRep.,
WIS.,.
Borah, who is chairman, has not
made known his attitude, while
Robinson (Rep., Ind is expected to
favor the nominee. Chairman Nor
ris Of the full committee predicts
that the senate will not ratify the
nomination.
The testimony of George E. @.
johnson, Chicago district attorney,
concerning the agreement under
which Capone was to have received
a light term. has hurt Wilkerson.
It has, in the opinion of members
of the subcommittee, completely de-
stroyed the picture of him as a
brave Judge defying the gangsters
and refusing to sanction any con-
tract between the government and
the merchant of vice
At the time Capone was to be
sentenced, johnson said, Attorney
General Mitchell had agreed to a
light sentence in view of the gov
ernments failure to get in touch
with several key witnesses.
Tears Halo of Head
Wilkerson, however, denounced
this arrangement. and announced
that Capone would not be let off
easily through any such bargain.
The Judge eventually sentenced the
eangsters to prison for eleven years,
whereas the original compromise
was two and half years.
Instead Of resenting the compro-
mise, johnson testified, Wilkerson
at first agreed to it, and broke it
only because of Capone's effrontery
in making the announcement Of the
two and a half year sentence before
the court did.
"Capone was convicted for his
crimes, and not for blabbing," COM
mented one subcommittee member,
and he should have been sentenced
on the basis of what had been
brought out in court"
This tears the halo from Judge
Wilkerson's head Norris COM

BY BEN BERNIE
(Ths Old Maestro HImseIf)


Today begins our Back to Pros
perity with Bernie Drive" and
hope you like it.
Yessir, Benny's a patriot, and he's
been sitting up nights figuring out
way to help the government in its
anti-hoarding campaign. That's
how I got this Prosperity Limerick
Idea and I think it's swell way to
kill two birds with one poem.
The contest gives the old maestro
chance to put little money in
which ought to please
congress, and my Republican sup
porters. Besides that, to satisfy the
Democrats, can use the space
which The Times so kindly has al
lotted to me to spread some anti
boarding ballyhoo.
Here's the Idea
Of course, understand that any,
thing might say about not saving
your money shouldn't be taken
seriously until next Sunday, when
the lads and l play Indianapolis
Youse guys better start boarding fer
Bernie right now and begin
your prosperity spending spree Sun
day night at the Indiana roof ball
room.
Here's the idea of the contest. You
probably have heard the old maestro
and his lads play "Limericks." the
comedy song novelty, on one of our
broadcasts. It's a. great tune and
writing limericks is great sport.
But just to make this contest easy
Tor you, it won't be necessary to
write a whole limerick. Every day
this week, up to and including Sat-
urday, I'm going to write the first
four lines of different prosperity
limerick, and all you have to do is
make up last line to win a prize.
Mark Day on Envelope
Either clip it out and write your
last line on the newspaper clipping
or copy on separate sheet of paper
and add your original last line
Mark each limerick you submit on
the outside of the envelope, accord
ing to the day it runs in The Times
For instance, today's limerick will
say "Wednesday" on the envelope
There is no limit to the number
of limericks you may submit. There
will be daily prize of two tickets
for the dance the lads and myself
are going to play Sunday night at
the Indiana ballroom.
I'll dig into the money l boarded
in my Golfers before this campaign
and give $40 to the writer of the
best limerick submitted for the four
days.
Old Maestro Bernie, himself. will
present his boarded gold to lucky
writer's at the Indiana ballroom
Sunday night.
Then. to make it more exciting
the lads will play Limericks" at
the ballroom and I'll mutter the
winning verses in my ack-to- Pros
perity baritone.
Try This Limerick
If you're not at the dance, boys
and girls, it's your own fault. Grab
a pencil right now, get the old brain
working, make up last line for the
Old Maestro, and send it to the
Contest Editor, The Times.
Here's a sample limerick:
oh, WHY should the whole world he fearful?
Here's sunshine. a whole eve and earful.
Though we haven't much dough.
still. with prices IN low.
EVERYTHING rs OKAY. LET'S BE
CHEERFUL
Now here's one for you!

What we need is a GOOD fve-cent niekIe
