jwiLi be mmf' — — Warren T. McCray Will Get Nomination Unless it is Stolen From Him FESLER AND TONER !; Making Hard Fight—Keal- r ing Wants Uninstructed 1 Delegates at Chicago , Indianapolis, April 16.—Warren T. e ■ 111 ra S W *H bp tlip republican nom- , ! ee tor governor of Indiana unless j the nomination is stolen from him, „ r viOier at the primaries or In the republican convention. McCray will gel the largest vote in ( lim primaries in spite of nil the efforts of the organization to push .1. W. . Fesler ahead of him. He will not get a plurality of the | votes and he will have to contend for ] tlie nomination at the convention, bu* | c nlv a more lavisii use of money than i has characterized the Wood campaign ( I to date can prevent him from lfaving 1 a plurality of the votes in the conver l tion and even that might not be sucI cessfui. ! Fesler is without question, the per- . sonal clioice of a great many of the A state organization members and is the i unanimous choice of the Marion ■. county organization. In fact, his camPaigh is being conducteir by the Mar- : ion county organization and it is 0 i desperately pleading that he must tv* e nominated in order to save Marion | county from the democrats. 1 But Fesler cannot.win, for the reason that McCray has thp hacking of Ithaf part of the republican party : which is determined to send an untilI strutted delegate to Chicago. In order ]to insure an uninstructed delegation | for Chicago, the '‘old guard" republicans must capture the state convention. They will do so at the primaries jand having control of the convention | they will be in a position to name the j candidate for governor as well a.-i the j delegates to Chicago. *- I The “old guard” will name McCray 1 because thpy are, at heart for McCray land his type of candidates and hei cause the other candidates are aliignied against them on the national fight While all three candidates for govlernor will deny if, there is nevertheless. a working understanding between Hie men who are handling the national I situation and the state situation. For example, Joseph B. Kealing i.i working hard to insure control of the fate convention by that element of the party that wishes an uninstructed delegation to Chicago. He is in close touch with the McCray faction and the supporters of E.'C. Toner, and he taking care to see that in the erthusiasm of the governorship fight delegates are selected fvlio will not be J Aon much prejudiced in favor of any a presidential candidate, p Kealing knows no candidacy for the "overnorship. His job is to contra the state convention in the interest* of an uninstructed nelegation to Chi ago and he has effectually Jdocked all efforts of McCray to name tho statu delegates. He could only have accomplished this by a working agree ment with McCray which will result in McCray’s forces supporting state delegates who are not only for McCray but are also for an uninstructed delegation to the Chicago convention. The primary in Indiana has lost all its significance already insofar ns the governorship race is concerned. As sentiment stands today, McCray will receive a plurality of the votes and Fesler and E. C. Toner will fight, a hard struggle for second place. Hut the nomination will bo made in the convention, and beyond being interested in getting enough votes to show that, he is entitled to it, Warren T. McCray is not particularly concerned with the primary results, HITS THE POOR MAM (United Press Service) | Paris.

INDIANS LOOK BIG IN AMERICAN RACe! i Illy Henry 1.. Farrell, United Press I staff correspondent). Now York, April 10.- Ohio will bo ilie next baseball capital next fall, the oracles of the diamond say. Having satisfied a desire of fill years li st year when the Red, won the National League pennant, tin* lluckt ve fans are to see another dream come to pass by having the world's series an all-Ohio affair, .the dope seems to point. * To those who come at him with mitt outstretched and nice words of congratulations, Tris Streaker, who starts bis second season as a big league manager snys: "Not so loud. Maybe you’re right but I don't want the boys to get full of that clnched-pennant stuff.” Speaker is right. The Cleveland Indians haven’t cinched the American League pennant. Hut if they don’t land first on the heap, the young leader of the Dunn tribe ir going to have some tall explaining to do. The dope seems plain as a nose on the faet. The White Sox won the pennant last year and the White Sox are broke tills year. The Indians ran them such a close race last year it is doubtful if they would have been able to hold the lead over the regulation 154 game schedule. The Indians are just as strong if not stronger than they were last season. Nothing to date seem strong enough on paper to keep them out of the first hold. Detroit and the New Yorks Yankees will fight it out for second place. Hugh Jennings and ’.Tiller Huggins say so. Q. F. D. However, it looks to.be rieht. If the Tigers have a dependable pitching stair, something they have lacked for years they wou'd he right on the Indians’ heels. The Yankees are strengthened on the offensive by the acquisition of Babe Ruth but tlfky are just as slow afoot ns they Were last season. They have a good pitching staff. Jimmy Burke and his Browns may land in the first division in the place of the dilapidated White Sox. With Buck Weaver. Chick Oandil and Swede Risberg gone the plight of the Sox is

There Is No Reason Why You Should Not “Build Now” Indications are that prices will not decline except after a long time, and then only to a limited extent, and for some materials the tendency will continue upward. , Among the reasons for this at the present time is the fact that there is not only a shortage of cars, but the decision of the Supreme Court ruling that the Interstate g® £? Commerce Commission shall value the railroad properties at their present replacegjl $ j| ment value instead of at their original cost will, in the opinion of experts make the % $ fja valuation of the railroads in excess of their total capitaliation. This means higher S SI WS, freight rates. PH* Added to this is the demand for wage advances totalling $1,100,000,000 by the kfj* P w railroad employees presented to the joint conference of railroad managers and Hyp l&lf ? workers held in Washington. However this demand may finally be compromised ® ™ ® H it is a safe assumption that substantial advances will he conceeded, with a consequent addition to freight rates. Apart from the serious obstructions to building due to the railroad situation there rp . . i r . remains the demands of labor for increased pay. That these increases may ultimate- » • ir ' aU ,‘° l ly be conceeded must be gauged by the fact that there is little liklihood of the cost of bu! ding, is an essen- living being reduced and that whatever reduction comes will come slowly as prodemand an auction arrives closer to filling demands of all kinds, must inevitably surmount all (he diffi- Like practically all localities we are faced with a serious house shortage. More so culties that tend to fur reason of the fact that Decatur must furnish respectable housing conditions for hinder. those who will shortly come here with our new factories if we wish to retain our - ow n self respect as well as to gain theirs. There is an inclination to build, but there is a fear that the present high level of building cost may not be sufficiently main tained to make the investment safe. In meeting this condition it is asserted that the safeguard against any important to 0,11 • recession in the value of building will be the slowness of production in the face not only of a national shortage but of a world shortage. Further, that there is the growth of communities commercially and socially to substain the demand. The Nation Needs UNLIKE MANY LOCALITIES—PRACTICALLY NO SHORTAGE OF THE ESMore Homes, SENTIALS FOR THE BUILDING OF MANY NEW HOMES EXISTS IN YOUR TWO LUMBER YARDS—YOU CAN DEPEND UPON IJS TO MAINTAIN OUR x PRICES ON THE BASIS UPON WHICH PURCHASES WERE MADE.
