NEW ASSEMBLY LJNE-UP CAUSE OF SPECULATION 'Just How Much McCray and How Much Goodrich? Is Question Asked. ‘CENSUS’ INTERESTING Th make-up of the new Legislature, which will convene Jan. 6, presents an Interesting study from a physical as well as a factional viewpoint. Politically, it ia so overwhelmingly Republican that it will make the McCray administration entirely responsible for its acts. That the assembly will contain factions made up of the supporters of Governorelect McCray and Senator Watson on one hand and admirers of Governor Goodrich on the other, is beyond dlspflte, but whether these diverging elements will ever lead to an open break remains to t. aeon. It is considered probable in many circles that if McCray persists in carrying his opposition to the Goodrich measures to the Legislature rupture may occur with the present Governor's forces that will necessitate a show-down. Speculation already is rife on the tendencies of the members of both Rouses and observer* are inclined at the present time to give the McCray-Watson forces the lead If a factional break comes up. In the Semite there are eighteen Republican hold-overs and three old members who were re-elected. Practically all of these men voted for the Goodrich laws and willingly followed the lead of the Governor in all legislative matters. There are twenty new Senators due to take their seats in the seventy-second Session and as most of them ran on the McCray platform it is considered they can be reasonably expected to uphold fcim in any difficulties that may arise. POME OF HOLDOVERS NOT GOODRICH MEN. Among the holdovers, however, who (ire not considered Goodrich men are Senators Miles Funds* of Lynn and /sines J. Nejdl of Whiting. These men would line up with McCray in an emergency. it is helleved. One of the new Senators is Winfield Miller of Indianapolis, who as a member of the last House, was a warm supporter of Goodrich and it Is likely he would not forget his former ties easily. That lineup would give McCray at least twenty-one votes in the new Senate to ntneteen for the Goodrich forces. Politicians who have analysed the complexion of the Senate, however, emphasizt the point that their enumeration of the probable factional leanings of the Senators is conditional on the problems that might arise and that an entirely new front might be presented under certain conditions. In the House on the same basis \fieJ’ray would have a safe lead of fiftythree votes to thirty-six for the opposition, the former figure representing the new members that will appear and the latter showing the number of assemblymen re-elected. In both Houses the Democrats are practically negligible, there being nine in the Senate and eleren in the House. However, rnch experienced men as Joseph M. Cravens of Madison, John F. Decker of Bluffton and Maurice Douglas of Flatrock are still in the senatd and Samml Penz of English and George H. Cooper flf Greenfield were returned to the Ilouae. In the event of a aharp division over (actional y>sUons the Democratic minority, as it is, would hold the balance of power. In the event the two forces should try to monopolize leglslr. live honors the Democrats would assume a position of vast Importance in botn Honses. LAWYERS STILL STRONGEST IN SENATE. The lawyers are still in the ascendancy in the Senate, fifteen representing that profession. The next largest rep-esenta live class are the farmers, eleven styl Ing themselves agriculturists. In addition to these two classes there are six manufacturers, three merchants, two real estate dealers, two bankers, two contractors and oue each of the following: Railroad engineer, telephone company manager, undertaker, capitalist, publishing company manager, coal operator, editor and hotel manager. In the House’ the farmers are in the twenty-seven coming from that class while there are twenty-two lawyers. Among the new professions listed is that of housewife, the occupation given by Mrs. Julia D. Nelson of Muncle. the first women elected to a legislative scat In Indiana. The House also will have eight merchants. four bankers, four real estate dealers, three physicians, three school teachers, two contractors, three ministers. two editors, four salesmen and one each of the following: Secretary of Builders' Exchange, carpenter, abstractor, employe Lnlon Traction Company, manufacturer, barbecuest. publisher, drycleaner and dyer, chiropractor, civil engineer, Insurance agent, student, dairyman, telegraph operator, plnmber, atock raiser and ceststant factory manager.

REPEAL MAY HAVE POLITICAL PHASE Senatorial Prospects to Change With No Primary Law. The deririnn of Governor-Ele<*t Warren T. McCray to recommend to the Leglslatnre the repeal of the present primary law will have an Important bearing on the Republican senatorial nomination in two years. Mr. McCray’s decision may be born of personal experience, for two primary races cost him approximately $40,000 rtS.OOO in 1016 and $.j2.000 in 1020. But It is more than likely, political observers declare, that he is more anxious to ease the way for the nomination of a favored candidate for the United States Senate. The Republicans already face a determined fight for that nomination. Either Senator Harry S New will he a candidate to succeed himself, or Will H. Hays, Republican national chairman, wi.l be a candidate, and Albert .T. Beveridge, former senator and Progressive leader, already has his wires up. Mr. McCray, of course, is a regular Republican and will play the gnmp for either New or Hays to the best of his ability. He, like the other “stalwart” leaders, does not look with faror on Beveridge's aspirations. If the primary law can he repealed the candidates would go before the State convention for their nomination and with the present control n f the party there Is little doubt but that New or Hays could walk away with the honors. In a primary, howeycr, Beveridge would hare an even chance and might, through the power of his oratory, become a menace to the plans of the Old Guard. • Opposition to the primary law, however. Is not confined alone to Republicans, many Democratic leaders also opposing the plan. Only last winter Vice President Marshall in an address at the Indiana Democratic Club, voiced hts disapproval of the measure. Quit Circus Business DENVER. Colo., Nov. 17— H. H. Tammen and P. O.
