FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR HARRY S. NEW

To the Republicans of Indiana: * 'lam a candidate ;f or United States senator, subject to the decision of the Republicans of Indiana at the primaries, to be held March 7. Last spring and summer I was strongly urged to become a candidate by hundreds of friends in every section of the state. At that time the friends of Mr. Hugh Th. Miller felt that that gentleman having borne the burden of the battle in 1914 when success was impossible, was entitled to another nomination, this year when victory was assured, and to that opinion I subscribed. The lamentable physical breakdown which has Miller out of the contest, will be deplored by all who know him, and by no man more than I, hut it makes a vacancy in the field of candidates into which I feel free to step. I believe I can be nominated, and if that I can and will receive the undivided support of my party. I believe that the condition of the business interests of our country as. they are now, and as thoy inevitably must be

after the close of the great world war which is today engulfing Europe, imperatively demands the election of a Republican congress as well as a Republican President to make certain the adoption of a Republican tariff and other essential measures. The quality and character of my Republicanism is established by the record of more than twenty-five years, during which I was associated with my father, John C. New, as one of the publishers of the Indianapolis Journal, and by many years of service as a member of the state and national committees of the party. I stand ready to be Judged by that record. I realize that the time for making a campaign is now too brief to permit of my seeing all my friends, but I shall devote my energies to seeing as many of them as possible. I ask for their support for this nomination, assuring them that it will be deeply appreciated and that, if elected to the senate, it shall be my endeavor to serve my party and country to the full extent of such ability as I may possess.
