Any other gossip? Let's get rid of
it all while we are at it.
QUESTION: Are you Million
aire, Governor?
Says He's Not Rich
GOVERNOR: 1t was stated one
place 1 have S125,000 deposited in
Chicago; another one said 1925, 900.
What money 1 have, and it is not
much, is deposited in Indiana banks,
and every penny that is in there I
earned honestly. 1t is not much, be-
cause when these folks that come in
talk about financial institutions,
come in with hard luck story, can
match it. When they talk about a
bank blowing up in your face, can
tell them about the one that blew
up in mine. When they tell me
about paying the assessment on
their stock, I can tell them what 1
had to Go the day before Christmas
1932-and it came at a tough time
When they talk to me about build
ing and loan stock, I can tell them
I have some, too, and haven't been
able to get a penny out of it. But it
is all there. That is silly gossip.
The lives and fortunes Of our citi-
zens are at stake in this campaign
and they resort to that stuff. What
want to do, my fellow citizens, is
just get these things all cleared
away so we can go ahead with the
business of government. What I
have done tonight I have done in
every community in which I have
spoken, thrown the door entirely
wide for questions, and as long as
they wanted to ask them 1 stood
there and answered them. Up in
Starke county the other night they
asked them for so long, l finally
went around and sat down on the
table and we had a town meeting.
Tells of Prison Conditions
QUESTION: How about the pris-
on at Michigan City?
GOVERNOR: 1 said I had made
some mistakes up there. 1 didn't
clean house enough. And I put my
finger exactly on the blame-guardS
inherited from the Leslie admins
tration.
QUESTION: What are their
names?
GOVERNOR: You know their
names. Furthermore, we aren't
through with that thing yet, either;
don't think for a minute we are. We
are not going to say what we are
going to do until we are all ready to
Shoot but I am not going to quit
until we do find the end of it, not
once.
Let me tell you something about
the state institutions. I have heard
their talk. They said I put politics
into the state institutions, did, eh?
Wish you would see what I found
when I came. Eighteen out of
twenty-one superintendent Repub-
lican, Sc per cent of the employees
Republicans. Ed Jackson put them
in politics and Harry Leslie kept
them there. All I am doing is to
even up, even up, that is all.
QUESTION:: What about the deaf
school?
GOVERNOR: What about the
deaf school? I left one there. I am
not entirely happy about it, either,
if you want to know the truth about
it. Any man or woman who had
demonstrated real capacity ir his
job was left on that job. Why do
you think kept Cap Howard, who
is out here at the penal farm,
dyed-in-the-wool Republican? Why
90 you suppose I kept DR.. Bahr at
central hospital, or NIillikan at the
hospital in Madison? Why? There
have been no changes made except
for the better. Let me tell you some
thing
Defends Appointments
QUESTION: Who did you put at
Butlerville?
GOVERNOR: Dan McCauley.
QUESTION: Is he fitted for a
job like that?
GOVERNORS: He certainly is.
Who do you suppose they had at
the head of all that institution in the
days before, an institution for the
treatment of the feeble minded? I
put doctor at the head of that in
stitution; they put Republican pol
iticianS.
QUESTION: Is Dan McCauley a
doctor?
GOVERNOR: He is not the head
of the institution. DR.. Durham is
the superintendent.
QUESTION: What is McCauley's
capacity then?
