Fatal Embrace

One Democrat not renominated in last week's Indiana primaries was Robert G. Estill, Attorney for Lake County. His opponent, Fred A. Egan, circulated the notorious picture of Attorney Estill with his arm around John Dillinger before the desperado's jail break at Crown Point, a picture which Attorney General Cummings in Washington denounced as showing "a complete lack of sense of responsibility or propriety." The citizens of Lake County did the rest.

All sitting Democrats in Congress were renominated, including Mrs. Virginia Jenckes of Terre Haute who was opposed by the local Democratic organization but backed by the A. F. of L. Governor Paul V. McNutt apparently failed to get his picked slate of delegates elected to the State convention which will choose a Democratic nominee to run against Senator Arthur R. Robinson next November. The victory went to Reuben Earl Peters, onetime State Chairman, who will probably be Indiana's Democratic candidate for the Senate.
