Republican Members Os Legislature Seek Plums i Indianapolis, Dec. 11. — (United ; Press.)—The lobbies of the Claypool hotel and the statehouse were filled with tobacco stnoke and political gossip here today as Republican members of the state legislature gathered to get acquainted. Talk on political appointments to the various committees In both houses was the chief occupation. Everyone was anxious to see those who have the plums to hand out for positions on committees. Arguments as to who would be the next speaker and the president pro-tern of the house of representatives and the senate respectively got rather lively at . times. Many favored Charles M. Clark, of Indianapolis, as the speaker, but others raised objections to him for the ; age old reason that if he were appointed Indiaftapolis would get a nice , slice of the political cake that ought to go to some other section that is not as well fed politically as the capital city. His strongest opponent is Lemuel I’lttenger, of Selma. Pittenger ran a fast race for the speakership in the 1923 legislature but was defeated. He has considerable opposition from the same element that opposed him during the past session, particularly because of his approval of the county unit bill which would have eliminated the office of township trustee in the state and at the same time several hundred political jobs. The county unit bill failed in the last session and is to be presented again this session. About the same objection to Thomas Daily, of Indianapolis, for presi- | dent pro-tern of the senate is being i raised against him as against Clark, and for about the same reason. Daily is opposed by James Janies Nejdl, of I Whiting, who has been the leader for several sessions. ; o ' OBITUARY Elizabeth S. Kern, age Seventyeight years, widow of the late Weshington Kern, died at her home in St. Marys township at 7 o'clock Thursday evening, December 4, 1924, following a brief illness of congestion of the lungs.
