POLITICIANS IN TRAINING FOR BIG GAME Spring Crop of Aspirants Unusually Promising This Year. ■WASHINGTON’, April 26. Spring training Is not confined alone to baseball. It exists also In tbat other great national pastime—politics. The spring crop of senatorial recruits this year Is especially promising. It is made all the mora so because sprinkled here and there through the ranks of tho aspirants are some battle-scarred veterans. attempting tbat most difficult of all tasks in baseball or In politics —i comeback. By no stretch of Imagination could William Jennings Bryan be termed a political “rookie." Yet he may become n pronounced senatorial recr.ilt by trying for the Senate this year after having tried unsuccessfully three times to be I‘resident of the United tSates. The Commoner wants to succeed Bark Trammell from Florida, Senator Trammell doesn't want to be succeeded. POLITICAL BOOKMAKERS BI’ST. The political bookmakers of the capital —and they even outnumber the racing bookmakers—are engaged these languid spring days in some interesting speculation regarding the possible make-up of the next Senate. From present appearances It Is going to be changed materially, and If even a third of the new bloood gets In that is assiduously engaged In trying to get In it promises to be a livelier Senate in the Sixty-Eighth Congress. There are many Republicans, as well as Democrats, In Washington who would tike to fee William J. Bryan enter the United States Senate. They are the ones who mourn the passing of the “good old days" when the Senate was composed of leaders and orators instead of retired lawyers and bored business men. One prominent political personage deBcrlbed the Senate the other day as “an exclusive and wealthy club, where tired and retired lawyers and business men go when they get fed up with the hnatle and bustle of making money." Even the Republicans concede that W. I. B would liven things up considerably. He would at least draw galleries, which Is more than can be said for many Creators in these days, outside of Borah of Idaho. SMITH MAY RClf. Another senatorial possibility is A1 Smith of New Cork, former Governor, and rated by political friends and foes alike as one of the best two-legged, twofisted debaters tbat ever stepped on a legislative floor. Smith Is now in business life, but bis political friends in the capatal assert that he can be drawn back into politics. Tammany Democrats In Washington say that Smith can have the Democratic nomination if he wants It and that If he takes it he certainly will be elected. Smith ran a million votes ahead of his ticket in 1920, which, considering the Republican landslide, was an Illuminating Insight into the former Governor's popu- ; larity in New York State. Smith, too, could be counted upon to "jazz" things up in the Senate. The former Governor is a hard-hitting speaker amusements:

T<he New York primaries are not held until late in the sunnier, Sept. 19. Between now and that time, according to bis friends here, “AP" will decide whether he wants to give up directing his profitable trucking business in New York and Join the “wealthiest gentleman's club in the world.” His protiable opponent in the election will be Senator William L. Ca!der (Republican) of Brooklyn, up for renomination and re-election. BEVERIDGE A CANDIDATE? Another name being conjured within a senatorial way is that of Albert J. Beveridge, the silver-tongued speaker of Indiana. Beveridge, an out-and-out candidate, Is now engaged In a hotly con•ested primary race with Senator Harry S. New, who seeks re-election. Beveridge has friends in the Senate from the old days, he having served In the Senate AMUSEMENTS.

before the famous spilt of 1912. The Indiana primary is lose than a month away —May 2. Seldom lji Indiana's checkered political history has a more bitter nomination fight been waged than la now going on in the Hoosier State between the New and Beveridge factions. From Michigan there is anew senatorial prospect in the person of Pat Kelley, who is serving his fifth torm In Congress. He Is seeking to succeed Senator Charles E. Townsend, himself 'a candidate, thus Insuring another Republican fumily row. Kelley Is from Lansing, a lawyer, and was Lieutenant Governor before coming to Congress In 1913. CHANGE IN PENNSYLVANIA. Anew Senator from Pennsylvania Is assured. Senator William E. Crow, who succeeded the late Philander C. Knox, ••ill be succeeded by a western Pennsylvanian. The political situation in Pennsylvania, which has been In a turmoil 3lnee the passing of Penrose, changes with such lightning-like rapidity that Republican leaders in Washington are uncertain from one day to the next who to expect In the Senate from western Pennsylvania. It was Maj. David Reed of Pittsburgh, at last accounts. In eastern Pennsylvania the nomination and • lection of Senator George Wharton Deper is expected. There Is a deal of speculation over whether Hiram Johnson, the mill Cant Californian, will succeed himself. Johnson is a candidate, but not without apposition. Reports have drifted to 'Tashlngti; that Senator Johnson alienated some of his strong support In California by his opposition to the conference treaties and that his political enemies are about to “get him.’’ That Senator Johnson himself Is cognizant of this was indicated tho other t ay when he said to a friend: "Well, I see they’re after ire In the State in force. They’ve got the British Ambassador, Elthu Root and Herbert Hoover all out there in Callfoi" ’. at the same time.”

Many persons are at first so doubtful that an indoor air wire, standing on a counter or display case can by any possibility be effective that they are not convinced that It will work satisfactorily until they have given It a tryout and have heard for themselves. Although the radio game seems to fall particularly within the province of the youngsters, for despite their youth they are the real pioneers in the amateur radio field, Mr. Finley said that there has been a marked degree of Interest shown in the Dally Times’ receiving sets by men and women of mature years. “A well known Indianapolis business man came In the other day,” he said, “and rather tolerantly put on the head set as If it were an interesting toy.

bers are included on the program to bfi given by the Glee c>ub twenty.-four voices, the college prebestrg of six piece# and instrumental and vocal soloist*. Among the feature numbers are a cornet solo, violin, piano, xylophone and saxophone solos, comic songs and a baritone solo by Robert Earle Naftzger of Indian-, apolis. “I am strongly opposed to Jazz, and I don’t want my name connected with it at all,” says John L. Geiger, conductor of the Glee club. “I don’t mind syncopation, which originated in negro folk songs and spirituals, and Is an accepted form of music, but all this noise with all sorts of instruments ranging from whistles to dish pans and cow bells 1$ horrible.” Mr. Geiger says jazz is gradually losing favor of the American people. Glee club numbers offered this year are new to Indiana audiences and are as a rule American compositions.
