JAN. 17, 1930 HIGH HOPES FOR VICTORIES HELD BY DEMOCRATS State Chairman Says Party Future Depends on * Officeholders. lor a Democratic victory in the fall election are “extremely favorable prominent Democrats attending the advisory committee tonferenct t r day at the Glavpool declared. Party policy concerning school aid, a constitutional convention and methods of reapportionment were placed before the committee for onsideration and recommendations by R. Eai 1 Peters, state chairman. Preceding discussion of these points, Peters declared optimism among Democrats over the state is high but the victories won in the city elections should not be op portunities for jollification, but rather a rededication to public service in order that the party may gain other victories. Future With Officials “The future of the Democratic party rests on the manner in which the civic affairs are conducted by the new officials.” Peters said. He pointed out that the com bined Democratic majority in city elections was 100,000. and that Hoover carried this state by 300,000 while Leslie was elected Governor by about 45,000 votes. The majority by which the Re publicans win in Marion county is the percentage of the G. O. P. vic tory through the state, Peters de clared. The fact that Indianapolis was carried by 30.000 votes by the Democrats should give a working margin for our victory of by at least 5.000 or 6.000 votes in the fall state-wide election,” he said. Woollen Speaks Elias Salsbury, Indianapolis at torney, discussed defects of the state aid law and its administration. Evans Woollen and Dan Sims of Lafayette discussed constitutional revision. The committee will confer soon and will make a report of its recom mendations to the Democratic state committee at its meeting Feb. 13 >n the eve of the Democratic Edi orial Association meeting here.
