A. B. praises Governor McNutt two years into office for reorganizing state government, broadening the tax base, and coordinating with the federal recovery effort. He notes opposition from Republicans and some Democrats, but cites open schools, relief from hunger, and a sound administration as signs of progress and steady statesmanship.
A Richmond reader notes the Congressional contest between Halleck and Durgan. Halleck pledges Republican principles with flexible liberal measures while Roosevelt policies determine his votes. The writer questions Halleck’s clear stance and platform breadth before the January election. Also a brief item: a Richmond woman sues for breach of promise after a husband’s three marriage proposals.
Arc patrons see Marie Galante with Ketti Gallian as a French girl swept into a Panama bound plot by a tramp steamer captain. The film centers on a munitions plot to spark war and a dam power house climax. International objections arose over depictions, but the story remains a tense thriller. Spencer Tracy and Leslie Fenton co star with Robert Loraine. If you crave thrills, this is not to miss.
A reader criticizes Republican officials for denouncing Copperheads while patronizing their businesses. The writer, N Black, vows to join Copperhead circles and seeks patronage from Republican shops. The note reveals partisan tension and market-based opportunism.
The Siamese twins travel in Liverpool for a United Kingdom tour as a show before heading to Paris to undergo the planned operation to be cut apart.
Joseph Dillinger notes one year in business on the west side of the square. He recalls initial difficulty in attracting trade and expresses gratitude that affairs have improved and now enjoy fair business.
A letter references Harrison Smith and a Times subscription, noting no payment shown and the paper returned with an odd endorsement. It claims Smith will not receive further papers and implies a plan to halt delivery.
N Stuart visits Dillingers daily on his velocipede to buy Havana cigars and go up steam. The week’s largest Delphi hog weighed 640 pounds and was brought to town by Ephraim Kerlin.
Lafayette Democrat George R. Durgan, a candidate in the January 29 special election, cites $1,725,575.77 in New Deal cash and loan benefits to Carroll County. He notes refinanced mortgages, farm supports, bank stabilization loans, and civil works spending benefiting 1,813 farms and local homeowners, framing his re election campaign on Recovery act support.
The Second Congressional district of Indiana votes next Tuesday in a unique special election framed as a single proposition over Roosevelt era recovery policies. Supporters praise Durgan’s record aiding farmers workers veterans and business while opponents focus on competing doctrine amid wartime fears and social changes. A. P. Giannini of Bank of America lauds the call for rapid social reforms as pivotal guidance.
A compilation of quotes covers Ruth St Denis on dancing as rhythm, T N Walton's dig at petition signatures, a Methodist remark by Bishop McConnell, Bruce Barton’s life view after 40 years, and Dr James B Conant on free inquiry in colleges urging diverse viewpoints for genuine conflict of opinion.
