Says SIush Fund Will Be Used
''The campaign of 1886 will be a
campaign of defamation on the side
of our adversaries, a simple effort
to break down the faith of the
people in President under whose
leadership the Democratic Admin
istration has lifted our nation out
of the depths of despair to the
broadway of hope and set it on the
high road to renewed prosperity, :"
Mr.. Farley said
Il have not the slightest doubt OF
its outcome but l feel it my outy to
warn you that you will have to
combat Misrepresentation, outright
lies, and every form of foul whis-
perings you can imagine. More
over, you must realize that the as
sault on the Roosevelt AdminiStra-
ton will be financed with the larg-
est slush fund on record, contribut-
ed for the most part by those who
have neither public conscience nor
private Scruple.
Our adversaries are trying to
represent the party conflict as a
battle between the business inter-
ests of the country and mythical
group bent on substituting d social
istic, communistic system for the
economic processes that have made
this nation the greatest, wealthiest
commonwealth in the world. It is
a ridiculous perverSion OF the facts.
A great proportion of our CONNER

the President as sincerely as they
were when they rallied to his sup

Business Failures Less

there been since the President took
charge and rebuilt the whole bank

were Vulnerable business collapses
In the three-year period of the

Makes Announcement to
Marion Democrats at
Jackson Fete.
BY JAMES DOSS
Times Staff Writer

MARION, Ind, Jan. g.
Headquarters are to be opened
in Indianapolis Monday for
Lieut.. Gov. M. Clifford Town
send, who last night entered
the race for the Democratic
nomination for Governor at
the Jackson Day dinner here.
Approximately TOO from Mr.
Townsend's home town and district
turned out last night to pay tribute
to the Lieutenant Governor and
hear him make an address which
indicated he will base his campaign
on the achievements Of the state
administration.
There was little reference to poll
tics in Mr.. Townsend's address. 1t
chiefly was devoted to a summation
of the states and nations progress
under the McNutt and Roosevelt
Administrations and included, of
course, a tribute to Andrew jackson
for whom the day is named.
Mr. ToWnsend'S announcement
for Governor was at the conclusion
of his speech. He said:
Dick Heller His Manager
IF it be the will Of the democ-
racy OF Indiana to make me their
nominee for Governor next sum-
mer I wish to say in all earnest
ness that l shall do all in my power
to further the principles of popular
government so ably enunciated and
put into execution by President
Roosevelt and Gov. McNutt. and TO
carry out the expressed will of the
people"
Bursts Of applause marked Mr..
Townsend's appearances at the din
ner and at City Hall, where he de-
livered his address. He was accom-
panied to the speakers stand by his
mother. Mrs. Lydia Townsend, and
his wife. Mr.. Townsend was intro
duced by Robert K Custer, preSi-
dent of the Grant County Young {
Democratic Club.
Coincident with Mr.. Townsend s
candidacy announcement was a
statement from his secretary, Dick
Heller, Decatur, that he will re-
sign Immediately, affective Jan. Is,
and will be in charge of the Town
send campaign headquarters to be
opened Monday at Indianapolis on
the Claypool mezzanine floor.
Prominent at the meeting here
was Alex Pursley, Hartford City
Fifth District chairman, lifelong
friend of the Lieutenant Governor
A number of county chairmen and
vice chairmen of the district also at
tended.
Other Democratic leaders who at
tended included Senators Edward
Hays, Marion; E. Curtis White, In
dianapolis; John Bright Webb, In
dianapolis, and Chester K Watson,
Fort Wayne, a prospective candidate
for nomination to Congress from the
Fourth District.
Labor was represented by Alex
Gordon and Martin Miller, Indian
apolis, both of whom are prominent
in railway brotherhoods and State
Federation Of Labor circles.

Kirk Mckinney and the Governor
might be asked to back him.
Another story is that upon re-
tiring from office, Gov. McNutt may
join the law firm of Frank McHale
and that the latter's opposition to
Pleas had more to do with the custer
than the French Lick agreement
If such is the case. the VanNuyS
gratitude might be nil.

They are investing their savings in

Logic languishes when the

Of President Roosevelt forget
their declarations of no re-

With this comment and an an
alogy of the life of Andrew Jackson
and his presidential acts with those
Of President Roosevelt, the New
Deal was defended by Gov. McNutt
of Indiana, at Jackson Day din
ner here last night.
THE apprehensions of business,
of course, always exceed the prob
abilities" said the Governor as he
pointed to the Wagner labor act
as "bogeyman" that business said
would set off wave of strikes.
Yet" he continued, nothing has
happened. Labor has not taken ad-
vantage of the passage of the act in
the way that business feared.
Strikes have diminished
Opposition to the social security
legislation and banking bills dis
appeared with the restoration of
confidence and approval of the Ad-
ministration's actions, the Governor
declared.
Holds Peoples Faith, He Says
"In 1888 President Jackson, by a
bold move, closed the Bank of the
United States. He rescued an
empire from the fangs of merciless,
revengeful, moneyed power.
In 1888 President Roosevelt
closed every bank in the United
States under the same economic
conditions and saved the financial
fabric of the nation from ruin and
collapse" he said.
Gov. McNutt likened President
Roosevelt to Andrew jackson in his
ability to gain the faith of the peo-
pie of the nation"
Reciting the "revelry of the
Harding regime" the ''inaction of
the Coolidge administration" and
"vacillation of the Hoover expert
ment," ne told how the Demo-
cratic party has always stepped into
the breach to rescue the nation from
financial and political doldrums.
Claims Morale Improved
"It is far greater thing to pre-
vent such business and national
catasrophies in the future and such
is the purpose of the Administra-
tion's social security program" Gov
McNutt said.
I'VE have become again an organ
lied nation full of vitality, strong in
vigor and it was the triumphant
achievement of one of the truly
great men of the century, Franklin

ernor as the audience of Texans

ing recovery in the morale of the

program, and that alone, that saved
America.
Our adversaries characteristical-
ly are using every agency at their
command to give the impression of
division in the Democratic ranks. A
little while ago they were gravely
announcing that third party move
was impending. Whenever some ir-
responsible adventurer thinks he
sees an opportunity to launch po-
litical racket. our Republican
friends announce the advent of a
Democratic revolt Political changes
do not come about that way.
Claims Borah Has No Chance
Nobody knows who will be the
Republican nominee, least of all the
Republicans. They dare not nomi-
nate Herbert Hoover, the most emi-
nent proponent of the do-nothing
policy that brought On the great
economic calamity. They can
not nominate Senator Borah be-
cause that veteran of years of po-
litical battling must be poison to the
crowd whose league is championing
the crusade against all that is be-
ing done to keep the country safe
from depredations of its sponsors.
Inevitably they will be driven to
some colorless individual, unknown
until paid propaganda builds up a
fabulous picture and presents it to
the people as some one worthy to
direct the destinies of the United
States"
Mr.. Farley contended the only
''honest issue" is whether President
Roosevelt has done we'll or i'll by
his country"
Points to Balance Sheet
'"The balance sheets of industry
commerce and agriculture tell the
story" he said. THE market quo
tations on commodities and securi-
ties can not be faxed or distorted
These figures will tell you that the
national wealth has increased q
billions OF dollars over their market
values on the day our President
took office"
Mr.. Farley said President Roose-
velt has kept all promises he made
when he was nominated, including
the pledges to stabilize the curren-
cy, repeal the Eighteenth Amend
ment and allow no one to starve.
THE Republican National Com
mittee and its acknowledged, or un-
acknowledged, allies are bent only
on the destruction of the Demo
cratic party and Democratic prin-
ciples," he said. IF anybody be-
lieved them, it would appear that
the Roosevelt Administration was
accomplishing nothing, that it's pub
lie works were limited to rakine
leaves or moving grass or weeds
from streets of cities and perform
ing other trivialities of little worth
and no permanent advantage"

BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY
Times staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Gov.
Paul v. McNutt is expected here
Saturday for political conferences
with the two United States Sena-
tors, Thomas Taggart, Democratic
national committeeman from In
diana, and Omer jackson, state
chairman, out of which a compro-
mise candidate for the governorShip
may be decided upon.
The Governor will come to WASH
ington from Austin, Tex, where he
was jackson Day dinner speaker
last night.
Meanwhile, he was represented at
the National Committee jackson
Day dinner at the Mayfiower last
night by Wayne Coy, Indiana WPA
director, who, although a later ar
rival, was given a preferred seat.
Attend Cocktail Party
At Mr.. Taggart's table were Sen
ators Frederick VanNuys and Sher-
man Minton and their wives and
Mrs. Samuel Ralston, a VanNuy S
house guest for the last week.
R. Earl Peters, Indiana FILA di-
rector, attended and State Chairman
Jackson, who was guest of Charles
Pettijohn, former Indianapolis law
yer, now with the Will H. Hays or
ganization. Mr.. Pettijohn gave a
nnnkfn1l Of
the Willard before the dinner.
William P. O'Neill, one-time In
diana Lieutenant Governor, also
was on hand for the President S
speech.
Another prominent Democrat in
the city is State Senator Jacob
Wiess, who called on both Senators,
but said he is here merely on law
business.
Chambers Backs Adams
Earlier III the week, State Sena-
tor Walter (Scotty) Chambers, long
time Democratic editor from New
castle, was here, purportedly paving
the way for the McNutt compro-
mise meeting.
He is said to have suggested
Chairman James Adams of the
State Highway Commission for the
governorship, although he is a close
relative of Clarence Jackson, state
income tax collector, who also has
been suggested as a gubernatorial
compromise.
With Senator Minton's office "go-
ing along with the candidacy of
Pleas Greenlee, who was fired by
the Governor, it is reported here
that McNutt may try to make a
deal' with Senator VanNuys.
The McNutt candidate of the mo-
ment is reported to be Lieut.. Gov.
M. Clifford Townsend.
