portant bearing on the Republican senatorial nomination in two years, Mr. McCray’s decision may be burn of personal experience for tu i primary races cost him approximately $10,000-88,000 m 1916 and 8:12,000 in 1920 But it is more than likely. ! political observers declare, that he is more anxious to ease the way for the nomination of a favore,) candidate for

the United States Senate.

The Republicans already face a determined fight for that nomination. Either Senator Harry S, New will lx j a candidate to succeed himself, or Will H Hays, Republican national chairman will be a candidate, and Albert J. Beveridge, former senator and progressive leader already has

his wires up.

Mr. McCray of course, is a regular Republican and will play the game for either New or Hays to the bent of his ability. He. like the other “stalwart” leaders, does not look

LOOT OF MAIL CAR ROBBERS DECLARED AT LEAST 13.500,1)00 COUNCIL BLUFFS, la.. Nov, 16. —I/ws in the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy mail car, roblxv) here Saturday night, will total at least $3,500.000 according to a story published to. day by the Council Bluffs Evening Nonpareil, This, according to the neswpapor became known today when additional postofficc officials came to assist local investigators in a check of the insurance on the nine stolen mail pouches. One sack which was found ripped open contained $800,000 in government bonds the investigators said. Eli Route to Washington The bonds were en route from San Francisco Cal „ to Washington and it was believed that a larger amount had been contained in the bag. Officers made a thorough search, but no more sucks were recovered. Merle Phillips, 20 year old mail sorter on the train, sticks to his story that he merely stood watch on the locomotive while two others did the actual robbing, but officials assert they are convinced that he is withholding valuable information.

If the primary law can be repeal, ed the candidates would go before the. state convention for their nomination and with the present control of the party, there is little doubt but that New or Hays could walk away with honors. I n a primary, however, Bcv-erid'-e would have an even chance and might, through the power of his oratory. become a menace to the plans of

tlie okl g-.iard.

Opposition to the primary law, how ever is not confined alone to Republicans, many Democratic leaders also oppose, the plan. Only last winter Vrie D-esident Marshall in an address at the Indiana Democratic elub voiced his tiisapprovnl of the measure.
