Frank E. Finney, motor vehicle
commissioner, could not be reached
to reply to charges of tactics Of in
limitation to influence Greenlee
adherents of the statehouse. He was
reported out of the city.
Takes Foes One by One
Charging "McHale-lsm" is a
worm that has eaten it's way into
the very core of both Democratic
and Republican parties" the former
secretary of Gov. McNutt said:
Imagine Frank McHale running
for Governor. The man who sup
ported Fred Lands for Governor in
the 1923 Republican convention.
The man who manipulated the In
diana delegation to the Chicago
convention in 1882 against Roose-
welt. Why he couldn't be elected
dog catcher in his old home town
OF Logansport.
Imagine Wayne Coy running for
Governor. The former secretary of
the Johnson County Republican
Committee, the former secretary Of
the Fourth District Republican
Committee, the former campaign
manager of Republican candidate
for Congress, the former writer of
Republican editorials. The Demo-
Gratis wouldn't have him, and the
Republicans wouldn't trust him,
either.
Charges Pressure Used
Imagine" continued Mr.. Green
lee, Virgil Simmons running for
Governor. The man who couldn't
carry his home county in his race
for the Legislature. And it's a
Democratic county, too.
These are some of the men at
tempting to dictate the nominee for
Governor, and who say that Green
lee can't win.
Il have been the best friend the
Governor ever had-and still am
but he doesn't know it. l approve
his administration but that does
not keep me from denouncing Nc
Hale-ism from the housetops," he
said.
Opening an attack on other APP
pointees of Gov. McNutt. the former
secretary said: The same selfish
influences that dictated that I be
removed from the Governors Office
are now openly and brazenly
using that power as a club over the
heads of my friends, to whip them
into the camp of another candi-
date"

"These selfish interests dictated
my dismissal as matter of policy,
stating that the power of patronage
should not be used to further any
ones candidacy. Let's see how sin
cere they were in this matter of
policy.
THE man who replaced me has
been and is calling in state en-
ployes and county district chairmen
and women and telling them that
to be for Greenlee is to incur the
wrath of the Governor, and that
they should line UP for another
candidate, yet he retains his job"
Mr.. Greenlee's former position as
secretary to Gov. McNutt was taken
by Mr.. Crawford, former speaker of
the House of Representatives
THE head of the department of
conservation, Mr.. Simmons, who
also is district chairman and one
of the Darkroom bosses with whom
will deal later on, is openly fight
ing me. And yet he retains his
job" added Mr.. Greenlee.
Termed Policy of Fear
THE commissioner of motor We
hicles (Mr. Finney)," continued the
former patronage" secretary.
takes time out from the arduous
duties of his Office to Jump into his
state car and call on the license
branch managers advising them to
line up. And yet he retains his
job
'Of all the people fired, have you
ever heard OF one being fired for
being for another candidate? The
matter of policy becomes a policy
of fear and intimidation. A one
sided policy if you please. The
policy of rule or ruin," he said.
Mr.. Greenlee said he favored the
gross income tax because 1T saved
the schools of Indiana" but lit has
