fashion
Chairman James Lands confessed, during
speech at Princeton last winter that the SEC had
tailed to curb the market. But meanwhile he was
content to sit on the side lines and let the market
roar on without taking the steps he could take
to curb it.
Many forms Of market manipulation are legal
under The Stock Exchange Act, unless the SEC rules
otherwise. For instance members of the exchange
still can trade in their own accounts while at the
same time handling those of their customers They
can boost prices cash in Them leaving their cus-s
toners to hold the bag. Many bull market has
been started by this sort of manipulation.

A S SHERIFF of Marion County

the support of citizens and voters
strictly on the record of my acts and
achievements since I took office. ]
urge full investigation of all activ-
tiles of the sheriff's office since
came in.
There never has been a time in
the police history of the country
when the need for capable, efficient
sheriffs was any greater than it is
today. The duties of the office are
manifold. The sheriff not only is an
officer of the law, but public serv-
ant, an arbiter, to whom is entrusted
the peace and safety of every man,
woman and child in his county.
Therefore, he must be man who
not only is capable of solving a
crime and apprehending its per-
petrator, but who is able to guard
the safety of the public and prevent
the occurrence of crime by elimi-
mating the human cesspools where
it invariably breeds.
The Jail has been renovated and
repaired. My regular deputies are
selected for their fitness for the
job and not for their political con-
nectionS.
In addition to the regular force of
deputies, reserve group of reput-
able and dependable citizens from
each community in the county has
been selected and deputized as re-
serve force. These reserve deputies
have played a large part in our sue

cattle thievery. car stripping and

acts.

PAW University in 1908. For a
time I was editor of the Mishawaka
Enterprise. I am married and have
one son.
There is widespread suspicion
that politics is rotten. To nomi-
nate for sheriff a Presbyterian min
lister, who has the confidence and
support of the people in his part of
the county, will do more to inspire
confidence in the honesty of the en-
tire county ticket than anything else
that the party can do.
You should vote for me because:
If elected sheriff will appoint as
chief deputy a man of such OUT
standing ability and experience that
his appointment will mean new

office, and my experience in public
oPSoAAAA6 dAiA 40 4lCWCPdRCl
will enable me to awaken the public
interest AND support that does not
exist and that he must have if he
really enforces the laws.
I will promote the crime pre-
vention program of Indiana Univer-
sity. 1t will greatly reduce crime and
the cost as soon as the public learns
what can be done and the impor-
lance of doing it.
Party machinery must be kept up
and party workers should be favored
in appointments, but the task of
teaching our children, and the task
of protecting life and property,
should be above politics and ! will
not allow politics to interfere with
the effectiveness of law enforcement.
1t is shame for public officials
to raid the public treasury when
people are hungry and taxes are
crushing.
