Showing.
Indiana supporters of Senator Warren G. Hardinsr, of Ohio, for the Republican nomination for President are looking forward with much concern it© the outcome of the Ohio primary election, April 27, for they recognize that if he does not carry j bis home state by a heary vote, his candidacy will be injured, not withstanding the feet that the theory of the Harding leaders from the beginning has been that the presidential nominee will be determined by a few leaders at the national conven-
tion. Y*'" '

ttenornl Potlry.
Harding s genoral policy has been to keop out of primary contests. Thus ha has not risked a popular verdict, and his supporters have been saying that this Is to his advantage, because he has created fewer enmities and has not suffered defeats. But on April 27 the people of hie own state
are to express themselves.
Why h* entered Indiana and did not enter Michigan. South Dakota and other primary states has not been explained by hla supporters, but the general opinion is that he entered Indiana because of the desire of his backers hsprevent an instructed delegation. Tltelr Idea was that the o candidates to enter Indiana, the HkeUAiood of a majority for Leonbe primary law of Indiana differs from l»at of other states. “ ■

The name of the Denison hotel is as Indellibiy written In the minds and hearts of the traveling public as was the old'-Bates house, which was replaced by the Claypool hotel. There are many who still regret that the name of Bates was not retained for the Claypool because of the historical associations of the old house. The Denison hotel has, alngbst since it wae built, played a prominent part In Indiana politics It was for many years the headquarters for the Republicans of the' state. Then ft passed to the control of Thomas Taggart and. being a major-general in the ranks of the unterrtfled, the Denison naturally became a Democratic stronghold. Political hats have been thrown in the ring in the old Denieon'g lobby only to be Jerked out again, ragged and torn.

Denison was only a favored name with Mr. Sherman. Shermun brought a full crew of clerks and servants her# from Milwaukee and the hotel prospered for a time. In the early nineties D. P. Erwin took over the property and made several important improvements. Including the addition of more stories and a mansard roof. The hotel has had several landlorda since the death of Mr. Erwin, but the property has remained as a part of the Erwin estate. Thomas

The second floor of the Denison was a lively place Just before and during a state political convention. Through the arch that leads from the stairway to the parlor floor hundreds of men have gone carrying their po--litical hopes, only to pass out again with their hopes and dreams shattered. The parlors that ranged along the broad main hall were the political headquarters of the candidates and there they put in their "best licks" for office. It was In •Tailor A" that most of the “big stuff” was coeked up. for "Parlor A' was a caucus room. It was In “Parlor A” that Woodrow Wilson made his first speech to Indiana Democrats when he began his campaign for the presidency. He stood In a corner and leaned against a little marble top table. He spoke briefly, but declared it his wish to have the friendship of Indiana Democracy. It was an eflfec tive talk, for It created an approving impression among the forty or fifty Democrats who crowded into the
room.
Treaawred Picture*. Along the walls of this main hall are many pictures that would be treasured by politicians for the mem orles they bring. The pictures are prints, but they are from the works ot old etchers. One picture, "King Solomon and the Blacksmith.’’ has al ways been a favorite. The house management has had trouble all this week to prevent souvenir hunters taking the place. Many wanted an old etching made of the Denison house back in the days before automobiles crowded the streets. . Fancy horse-drawn equipages are seen dashing along the etreet and In front of the Denison’s main entrance is an old bus. one that was used for years to haul ball teams to and from the

WASHINGTON. April 17.—Alvin THert, member of the national committee from Kentucky and chairman of the subcommittee on arrangements for the Republican national convention. who has been here two or threo days trying to ascertain the sentiment among Republicans in the congress wifh respect to the temporary chairmanship of the convention, said before leaving for the west that the choice would undoubtedly be made at the meeting of the subcommittee te
be held In Chicago May 10.
Apparently Hert did not get very much help from the Republfcana he consulted here. The old guard is strongly In favor of the selection of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts, as the man to sound the keynote for the party, while the liberal* and radicals would prefer
some one else.
The situation with respect to the treaty of peace and particularly with respect to the league of nations Is entering Into the contest for the chairmanship. The Republican senators who are opposed to any aort of kague of nations and who are known as the Irrecondlables are. of course, anxious to have the temporary chairman In his keynote speech Indorse the stand they took on the treaty. They announced today that their preference for temporary clfalrman was Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho. H was also said that the supporters of Senator Hiram Johnson, of California, also favor Borah for the temporary chairmanship. Hert during his visit did some talking In favor of Governor Morrow, of Kentucky, for the chairmanship. The makeup of the subcommittee. It Is asserted. Is such that unless there shall be vigorous opposition to the selection of Senator Lodge ho will
likely be chosen.

“Whar about the woman whose taste runs to green plumes and bright pink HngerieT' l demanded. "Marry 'em off to the men who wear purple socks, with ties to match, and forget about 'em as soon as possible." answered Doris, promptly. The Cynic's fingers strayed to his
four-in-hand, as though to reassure himself of his own sartorial perfection. , "1 don’t know about the plumes and things that women wear,” he remarked, "but it’s a pretty safe bet that the chap who takes to purple socks and bright yellow shoes is just about starved for the things that the rest of us take for granted; he’d wear browns and blues and grays. Just as the rest of us do, if somebody’d only take him in hand.” "That might be true of a man,” Doris assented doubtfully, "but I shouldn’t like to try to reform a woman as to her taste in dressing." "Oh. well." he began, with that provoking smile of his. "the angels would fear to tread along the path that leads to a criticism of a woman's
taste."
"Speaking of the riot of colors." I interrupted to avert the storm he was trying to raise, “it seems to me that we’re just coaxing ourselves into good humor, with a lot of gay extravagances, just as we dangle a brightly colored ball before a crying infant.” "And the world is paying an awful price for the ball,” Margaret, added soberly. "We’re confronted on every side with the problems of diminished production and exhorbltant prices, and we all seem determined not to share in ths sacrifices which must be made, before the matter is adjusted. Instead of doing without, we’re all greedily hoarding against the day when prices will be higher. And It all works around in a vicious circle: the more we hoard, the higher-they
will go.”
"And the higher they go" the Cynic smiled grimly, "the more we ll hoard. People are spending more for clothes, they tell me, than hqs ever been spent in the commercial history of
day, clad in all the perishable finery of the moment, will ever become a motherly person who wears gingham dresses and crisp white aprons.” "The chances are that she will not," I answered. "And, to return to your own remark of a moment ago, she wouldn’t b-i well-dressed If she did. You can’t graft white-apron personalities on to georgette crepe folks.” The Cynic glanced at his watch and rose. "Seems to me I remember some nice white-haired old ladies of my boyhood, who undoubtedly wore crinolines and hoops, in their youth," he remarked. * And they seemed to take quite naturally to white aprons, in their later years. If you’ll let a mere man voice an opinion, I’d say that these georgette maidens will probably become worthy successors to their gingham-clad foremothers. As an instance. I’d like to call your attention to the garment that Miss Doris is making,” and he grinned at the bright flush on her cheeks. She met his challenge with a smile, however, 1 and held up a crisp little apron on ! which she was putting the finishing | touches. And then with a mischievous twinkle In her eyes, she remarked: •Tm afraid I’ll have to plead guilty to being a frivolous young person, dear folk. You see, I have any number of georgette garments in, my hope chest—but I'm balancing them with heaps of gingham frocks and aprons like this"
"And the most of the money is spent for perishable things that enjoy a brief vogue and are discarded” Margaret answered. "And I wonder, sometimes, if I’m merely old-fashioned enough to be resentful of new ways, or if the woman of today is really absorbing some of ths character of her clothes.
