gram were Governor Paul V. Nc
Mutt and Mrs. Virginia Jenckes,
candidate for reelection to con-
press from the Sixth district.
Astonished at Enthusiasm
The meeting at the teachers col
lege climaxed an all-day rally spon-
sored by Vigo county Democrats,
who, although they made plenty of
preparations for a huge turnout
we're astonished at the enthusiasm
with which Indiana Democracy
f1ocked into Terre Haute.
Nearly 1000 persons attended the
banquet preceding the meeting,
overfowing the Hotel Deming di-
ming rooms and causing extra tables
to be assembled hastily.
Richard Werneke, Vigo county,
political boss ard general chairman
for the rally, acted as POSTMASTER
He introduced Omer S. Jackson,
Democratic state chairman, who, in
turn, presented local and state or
ganization leaders, members OF the
state ticket, the Governor, Mr.. Min
ton and Pleas Greenlee, secretary
to the Governor.
E. Kirk Mckinney, Indiana head
of the Home owners Loan Cor
poration, and Mrs. A. P. Flynn, for
mer state vice chairman, also were
introduced at the banquet.
Touches on Fear Campaign
Taking up the constitutional is
sues raised by Senator Arthur R
Robinson, his Republican opponent
Mr.. Minton declared:
THE Republican campaign always
has been one of fear, but you can't
brighten people today about the loss
of their constitutional rights, as if
liberty were something apart from
human happiness. You can't
frighten people today about the loss
of their constitutional rights when
they are struggling to live. You
can't walk up to a hungry man and
say, Here, have a Constitution.
You can't say to labor that has
had the tools of toll stricken from
their hands, Here, have Constitu-
ton and read what it says about the
sacredness of property
THE Constitution lives and is
made only to serve the people"
Mr.. Minton spoke of the national
administration plans for unem-
ployment insurance and old age
pensions and pointed out that great
utilities companies set aside mil
lions of dollars year in deprecia-
ton and retirement reserves sc
that when machinery wears out, it
can be junked.
Thrown on Junkpile
Nothing has been set aside fol
the retirement of labor that is used
for the best years of its life and
then thrown on the junkpile oil
human derelicts with many gooc
years ahead which it can not use,'
Mr.. Minton declared.
Provision must be made for the
retirement of humans from industry
the same as machinery. Business
labor and society in general must co.
operate to the end that unemploy-
ment insurance and old age pensions
be established when you turn g
working man out because you nc
longer can use him and the future
holds no protection for him."
Mr.. Minton pointed out the Fed
eral Land bank and the Home Own
ers Loan corporation and declared
that his opponent, Senator Robin
son. voted for them.
yet the senator screams we are
on the road to Moscow" said Mr.
Minton. Il say that the people OF
this state and of the nation believe
we are on the road to recovery.
Knows Most That "Ain't So"
mo one else seems to know the
road to Moscow. 1 never hear any
one else taking about it."
Governor McNutt spoke briefly, re-
ferring to the Democratic victories
in Maine with the assertion: The
critics may rave, but the man in
the street makes known his verdict
in no mistaken terms"
The Governor dismissed Senator
Robinson's attacks on the state adj
ministration with:
Day by day, he completely fills
the picture painted by the New York
Times, as the man who knows the
most that amt So"
