And for the last 40 years Indiana has
given its electoral votes only to two
Democratic candidates for President,
Roosevelt in 1882 and Wilson in 1912.
In the latter year the combined vote
for Theodore Roosevelt and William
Howard Taft far exceeded the vote
for Wilson. Even in 1916, when Will
son was elected on the slogan HE
kept us out of war;" Indiana turned
in for the Republican nominee.
Charles Evans Hughes. 1t is evident,
therefore, that Indiana has strong
Republican roots. And it is increas-
ingly evident that Indiana voters are
turning back to old allegiances.
The State is real battle-ground
this year. Political observers here
say that they believe Roosevelt will
carry the State They hesitate. how
ever, to set any figure for his plurality.
and when they are pressed they say
that there is always the possibility OF
a swing" that will carry Landon
across the line winner. The Demo-
Gratis claim the State by 100000. The
Republicans don't go in for figures
so strongly. They will be content
to carry the State by any margin
whatever.
The Republican organization here
is in a furry over plans for the Lam
don meeting Saturday night. A big
parade is planned, in which every
county in the State will be repre-
sented. And, incidentally, this parade
will go through the Negro section of
the town to the State fair grounds.
In the parade will be herd Of IA

Governor Race Active.
Complicating to some extent the
presidential race is very active con.
test on in Indiana for Governor. The
Republicans have put forward Ray
mond S. Springer of Connersville, the
first State commander of the Ameri-
can Legion. 1t was Springer whom
Gov. McNutt defeated in 1892. The
Democrats have as their candidate the
hand-picked choice Of McNutt, Lieut..
Gov. M. Clifford Townsend. NC
nuttism" is an issue in the State elec-
ton. For the Governor has many
enemies and not all of them by any
means are Republicans. At the same
time McNutt has built up a strong
personal organization, with all the
State employees figuring in it.
The Republicans believe they have
a real chance to elect Springer Gov
ernor and they are doing their ut
most to bring that about. Even the
Democrats admit they may lose the
governorship. They hasten to add,
however. that II Roosevelt goes over
in big way, Townsend probably will
win, too.
For the first time Indiana voters
this year will have separate ballots
handed them, one ballot for the presi-
dental race. and the other for the
State contest. The Democrats them
selves put through the law calling for
the separate ballots, and now they are
wondering why they did it. They fear
many of the voters will give their
presidential ballots to Roosevelt and
at the same time will give their State

ballots to Springer. They are trying
to teach the voters to vote her

McNutt has been a dominant figure
in Democratic circles since his cleo
ton and has carried things with a
high hand, offending a number Of
Democrats. He is rated extremely am
bilious. Under the State law he cam

self. But with Townsend as Cover
nor, If he can elect him. McNutt hopes
to keep control Of the Democratic
organization and to launch his own
presidential boom in 1910. Even now
when McNutt addresses Democratic
rallies he is frequently introduced as
the next Democratic nominee for
President. 1t is not on record he dis
likes the soft impeachment.
Go. P. Has Faction Troubles.
The Republicans, who have as many
factional troubles as a dog has fleas,
seem to have ironed them out for the
campaign. They may go back to cut
ting each others throats after the
election. But for the present there
is harmony. Not only does Gov. Lam
don have many supporters in Indiana,
but so does Col. Frank Knox, the G..
o. P. vice presidential candidate.
Knox is giving a lot of his time to
Indiana and making effective speeches.

Of this new registration has been due

Undercurrents Unrevealed.
The undercurrent, if there is one,
has not yet fully manifested itself.
In Indianapolis there are some $4,000
voters unwilling to state their political
allegiance The Republicans like to
think that these politically silent peo-
pie will vote for Landon. They say
there seems no good reason for reti-
cence on the part of these people II
they are going to vote Democratic.
But that is after all guess.
In Indiana the Democrats are strong
in the industrial centers and in the
big cities-Indianapols, Gary. Fort
Wayne, Terre Haute. etc. They be-
lieve they have the industrial workers
sewed up in a bag and it seems they
do have great strength in these CEN
ters. Nevertheless the Republicans
have by no means given up hope OF a
considerable labor vote. In Lake
County which includes Gary and its
great mills, campaign of Republican
education is under way and the steel
workers are being told that if they
really wish to continue on the road
to recovery they had better vote the
Republican ticket. That It will mean
the old. full dinner pail to them.
Republican strength lies principally
In the rural communities, of which
there are q great number, and on
the farms. Despite the Government
checks to the farmers, many of the
Hoosier farmers are back in the Re-
publican fold. Some of them have
reached the conclusion that the Lam
don farm program offers them as
much, If not more, than RoOsevelt's.
The Democrats have the advantage
OF being in power They control the
election machinery, and up in Lake
County, if reports are true, that con-
troll has been very effective in elec-
tions in the past. There was once a
time when that county was strongly
Republican, and was able to kick in
5000 or 10000 votes extra, when II
became necessary. The advantage
Is now with the Democrats.

In 1884 the State went overwhelm-

"Why don't your merchants adj
vertise?" was the question asked
of The Citizen Saturday after
noon by Judge E. E. Miller, a
visitor who is enjoying a vacation
in Key West and who came in the
office to place a subscription.
Mr.. Miller explained he was a
visitor and was residing at 1911
Grinnell street. Desiring to make
purchases he looked over the pa
per and was chagrined to find
so few announcements by business
places.
This same condition has at
tracted the attention OF a number
of other visitors who remarked,
in a general way, that there are
many persons who visit a COM
munity and base their ideas on
that community by the newspa-
per advertisements.

RITTER HEARING
SCHEDULED TO BE
HELD This WEEK
IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS
AGAINST FEDERAL JUDGE
To COME BEFORE HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES
fnv Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, March 2.-lm-
parchment proceedings against
Federal Judge Halsted L. Ritter
of Miami probably will be called
up in the house of representatives
this week.
Chairman Summers of the house
judiciary committee, who intro
duced the impeachment resolution
for the committee, said it would
be brought up at that time.
Four articles of impeachment
are made gaainst Judge Ritter,
who is charged with accepting
large fees and gratuities from
persons who had business in his
court. If the house adopts the
resolution it will go to the senate
for consideration on whether it is
to be made final.
Impeachment was proposed for
"misbehavior, and for high crimes
and misdemeanors" in office by
Judge Ritter, a Republican who
was appointed by President Coo
ldige and was qualified as Unit
ed States judge on Feb. Is, 1929.
The first article charges he ac-
cepted $4,000 from A. L. Rankin,
an attorney in mortgage fore
close actions against the Whitehall
Building and Operating Company
of Palm Beach. 1t charges the
payment was made after Judge
Ritter allowed Rankin $4,000
for his services, in addition to
$4,000 previously allowed by
Federal Judge Alexander Aker-
man. who considered the fee fix
ing at Judge Ritter's written re-
quest.
Rankin was identified as the
law partner of Judge Ritter before
the latter's appointment to the
bench.
Judge Ritter was charged in the
second article with entering into
an agreement to continue mort
gage litigation against the Palm
Beach company even after Bert
F.. Holland, of Boston, who had
the proceedings instituted. sought
to withdraw his case. 1t also was
charged that Judge Ritter, MEM
bers Of his family and others oc-
cupied rooms and received serv-
ices, without cost. at the White
hall hotel during the time the
property was in receivership in his
court.
A third article charged Ritter
/ solicited and received $4,000 from
/ a New York law firm as addition
al payment for litigation he con-
! Quoted for the firm before his ap-
! pcintment on the bench.
The fourth article charged Judge
! Ritter brought his court "into
scandal and disrepute" by his ac-
tions and orders in other cases.
Among these was his appointment
of Cary T. Hutchinson as special
master in a proceedings by which
| the city of Miami sought to force
reduction in rates charged by the
Florida Power and Light Com
rany.
Judge Ritter also was charged
with accepting $500 from J. R.
Francis who had 'large property
, interests within the territorial
4 jurisdiction of the court of which
Judge Ritter was judge.
