DR.. M'CULLOCH
MAY Be GIVEN
PETERS POST
4 Have Nothing to Say Is
Reply of Former Gov
ernor Candidate.

A laconic, Il have nothing to say
was the reply today of DR.. Carleton
B. McCulloch, former Democratic
candidate for Governor, to persist
ent reports that he would be the
next Democratic state chairman.
Asked to either affirm or deny re-
ports that he has been decided upon
by the McNutt high command, .
DR.. Mccullough repeated, Il have
nothing to say"
However, it was learned from au-
thoritative sources that DR.. Nc
Culloch definitely has been chosen
by Governor Paul v. McNutt and
Senator Van Mugs to step into Mr..
Peters shoes.
Selection of DR.. McCulloch, who
was defeated for Governor in 1924
by Ed Jackson, Republican, would be
contingent, of course, on R. Earl
Peters, incumbent chairman, hand
ing in his resignation.
Split Is No Secret
However, Mr.. Peters has not re-
signed, or at least, he says he has
not and points out logically enough
that any news of his resignation
5hould come from him.
Democratic party leaders admit
generally that the rupture between
Mr. Peters and Governor Paul v.
McNutt and Senator Frederick Van
Mugs is no secret.
At least some of them are ran
king under proof they have received
that Mr.. Peters rates" very well
indeed, with Washington, SO well
that Senator Van Mugs was fouted
by Postmaster Jim Farley and Cur
rency Comptroller j. F. O'Conner,
in the selection of a receiver for the
Old First National Bank of FIT.
Wayne.
Just Complaint
This slap came when Mr.. Peters
candidate for receiver was chosen
and Senator Van Mugs candidate
was turned down This followed an
indignant complaint from the sena-
tor in California. So far, it hasn't
amounted to more than just a COM
plant.
The McNutt-P breach has
been widening for some time with
much the same effect of a stone
tossed into pool of water.
The state committee battle over
the Statehouse per cent salary
levy CLUB brought things to a
head and Mr.. Peters ran a bad sec
ond.
Another factor that has caused
bad blood between the Governor and
the state chairman is Mr.. Peters re-
ported ambitions to run for United
States senator
The Governors choice reliably is
reported to be Sherman Minton,
public counselor of the public serv-
ice commission.
Keeps Discreet Silence
Dr. McCulloch's name as a state
chairman possibility was brought
into the picture when members of
the anti-Peters faction charged
during the weekend, that Mr.
Peters already has resigned.
He signed his resignation, they
claim, making it effective Jan. Is.
when he was unsuccessful in his
clash with the Governor over the SO
per cent club"
However, Mr.. Peters has main
tanned discreet silence on his
future plans and his advisers point
out that any conjecture as to a
new state chairman properly might
be held in allegiance until the post
is made vacant by a formal an
nouncement from Mr.. Peters.

With transition today of poor re-

LA CUARDIA is

Fusion Candidate Picked to

Mayor Race. }

By United Press
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Fiorello H.
La Guardia was seen the victor in
tomorrow's mayoralty election by
many political observers today. If
he wins it will be the first rout of
Tammany hall, symbolic in all parts
of the country for ruthless machine
politics, since the election of John
P. Mitchell in 1918.
Defeat of Tammany was regard
ed by many as near a certainty as
is possible on the day before an
election.
La Guardia's campaign manager
joined the managers of Joseph V.
Mckee, Recovery party candidate,
and Mayor John P. O'Brien, Tam
many incumbent, in sweeping claims
of victory, each for his own man.
The slender indications available
before the voters pass judgment,
however, pointed to La Guardia. The
Literary Digest poll gave him a plu-
rality. A straw vote conducted by a
newspaper supporting Mckee showed
him in the lead. Newspaper po-
litical experts who INDUCED in pre-
diction generally chose La Guardia

announcements from Governor
Paul V. McNutt have indicated that
under no circumstances viii the sale
of whisky for drinking on the
premises be permitted
However, it was pointed out by
persons close to the administration
that the Cuban pint would pro-
vide a way to place whisky within
the reach of those of moderate
means, who could not afford to buy
a regular sized pint.
It also was reported that a 612-
cent stamp tax is being considered,
so the state can collect its levy. A
25-cent tax is fixed for pint sales,
under the present Indiana medicinal
whisky control bill.
Waiting for Advice
The Governor has indicated that
the Indiana whisky situation will be
handled through rulings of the state
excise department under Paul Fry,
who also handles the states beer
business.
The Governor is waiting for ad-
vice from Attorney-GeneraI Philip
Lutz before making a definite an
nouncement, it was said
Meanwhile, a canvass of the
downtown beer retailers revealed
that they have made no plans for
handling whisky after repeal and
do not anticipate a rush for hard
liquor.
They do expect, however, many
of them said, a renewed impetus to
the beer business when prohibition
repeal permits the raising of the
alcoholic content of 80 beer.
So far, no rectifed or cut whisky
has reached Indianapolis, it was
learned, but several downtown drug
stores report a rushing business in
blended whisky.
Steady Sale Reported
Blended whisky, a mixture of 4,
10 and 16-year-old Whistles on a
basis Of one-third each, retails for
between SITS and $225 a pint, in
contrast to prices of $275 to 81 a
pint for the standard grades of
medicinal whisky. Drug store oper-
stors anticipate a 25-cent reduction
