The two candidates for the Republican nomination for United States Senator were to finish their campaign today in somewhat the same manner that they began them. Beveridge carried his speaking campaign through to the last available moment, according to plans made for him. while Senator Xew spent a day f.f comparative inactivity. Beveridge spoke at Martinsville at noon, was scheduled to speak at Bloom ington in the afternoon and Bedford at night. Both sides continue to olaim victory by large majorities. Fred I. King manager of the Xew campaign, made a final statement in which he claimed 75.000 majority for his candidate. “Now that the campaign Is closing It is to be very deeply regretted that Mr. Beveridge did not see fit to utter one single word of commendation for the splendid achievements of the Administration of’President Harding. He has toured the State from one end to the other, but not one word has he said in praise of the President or of the National Administration," said Mr. King's statement. Stand Back , Men!

BATTLE OVER, VOTE CASTING TELLS RESULT Primary Campaign of Usual Nature in Indiana. SENATORIAL RACE Contest Between Two Factions of Party in Control. The battle is over. The issues are made. The result is in the hands of the voters. By tomorrow night it will be thumbs down for hundreds of candidates and triumphs for others. Indiana has passed through another primary campaign with the usual shouting. (he usual charges and counter charges, the usual flattery of the voters and the usual bunk. In these respects It has not been different from any other primary contest. Interest throughout th* campaign ha 9 centered, and still centers, on the Republican senatorial primary race. It has been a contest that will be talked about, wherever those who endeavor to extract votes from an unsuspecting public shall gather, for many moons. STAXDPAT VS. PROGRESSIVE. The coufest between Senator Harry 8. New and former Senator Albert J. Beveridge for the Republican senatorial nomination has been a contest between the standpat element of the party and ihe less conservative progressives A victory for Xew tomorrow will be a victory for the Administration. A victory for Beveridge will tie a defeat for the Administration. Boiled down, this Is what nil the fireworks and the shouting have been about. Rent tor Now has had a decided ad vantage over his opponent in that he 1r the organization candidate. The regular party organization has facilities for getting out the votes and for conducting an elation that n“ individual organiza ‘lon rjn possess. In Marion County, as in most other counties, the Xew organization, which for the most part is the Republican titate organization, controls the election machinery. Mayor Shank and his friends in Indianapolis set out with much apparent en ttnei'Mn to nominate Beveridge. As the campaign progressed the enthusiasm seemed to w me. When It came to naming precinct election officials ihe New faction, still having control of the county organization, dictated. Now, it appears, the city administration Is willing to make any deal necessary to gain control of the county organization. M \ RION Ol N1 1 1A PitAL C \SE.

REAL FIGHT TO CONTROL MACHINERY Back of Senatorial Race Is Watson’s Design. MUCH BITTERNESS Created by Attempt to Revive Old Machines. While Indiana Republicans arc going about the business of selecting party nominees tomorrow, underneath the surface is being waged a fight that out-dis-tances the now historic contest between Senator Harry R New and former Sen stor Albert J. Beveridge. It is a battle for control of the Republican organization arid in many sections, notably in Indianapolis. it is more bitter and attracts inoro attention than the senatorial tilt. In ’he background and seemingly uninterested in the affair Is Senator James E. Watson who hns not so much as lifted his finger in behalf of his colleague, but 1 there Is ample evidence that ha is very much interested in the muka up of the next Republican State organization. And it is the very Intensity of the fight to control the organization that may prove a serious handicap to Senator New. WATSON LEADERS SLATE BEVERIDGE. Tt Is reported from many sections of the S.ate that Republicans who are anx lons to see a strong Watson complexion given to the next State committee, are not refraining from slating Mr Beveridge when, by so doing, they are ns sured support of their organization plan. ! if that condition Is true generally, especially In the rural districts, ir. wtii mean that Instead of one foe. Senator New will have to face the combined forces of Beve- ; ridge and Watson. Senator Watson for years has cber label at. ambition to control his party's machinery In this State and the fact that ; two veats ago ho came wlth.n a hairs breadth of doing so and fulled because Senator New maintained a hands off pol Icy, has only accentuated his desires. Watson, iu his attempt to land control l of the organization in the last primary. 1 obtained powerful aid from Governor McCray then a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor.

RALSTON IS ENCOURAGED BY OUTLOOK Samuel M. Ralston, candidate for the Democratic nomination for the United States, was optimistic over nomination for the United States Senate, was optimistic i over his prospects in the primary elec- | tion tomorrow. j “I expect to be nominated by a substantial majority," he said.

Whoever is nominated will have the unqualified support of the j other candidates, I am certain.” JOE KEALING COMES INTO LOCAL FIGHT National Committeeman Lines Up With Faction in Primary Contest. With Joseph B. Kenling, Republican national committeeman from Indiana. I throwing his entire strength to the RuankArmitage city hall forces to combat the I I.emcke Jewett and Coffln-Dodson combine, the Republican political fight for supremacy In Marlon County between the 1 G.

William H. , Armltage Is operating from the second of English Hotel, handling the slate and the workers supporting the city hall slate. This combination was brought about for the purpose of combating to better advantage, the Lemcke-Jewett and Coffluj Dodson, combination. | Leaders of the combination hope to put | Senator Harry New over for re-nomlna i t'ou and what is more linporant, capture the Republican county organization When the Lemcke-Jewett faction began making overtures to George V. Coffin, t'ardn Shank, whose influence resulted in Mr. Coffin being selected to serve the unexpired term of former County Clerk Richard V. Sipe, there were indications that Commissioner Shank In time, would break with Coffin, as the latter failed to give Benjamin S. Felree slate position for county recorder. It was evident that Commissioner Rhank and Mr. Coffin had broken as Carlin Shank is on the city halll slate, as is Mr. Pierce. It was predicted the Rhank Armltage faction will have sufficient power after the primary to demand support for William 11. Freeman, who is the Shank-Arm-itage choice for county chairman. Mr Kealing has thrown his strength toward William K. Reilly for district chairman as Reilly's success will strengthen Mr. Healing's position as national committee man from Indiana, it is said. The national committeeman Is elected by the district chairmen. if the Jewett-Lemeke and the CoffinDodsun combine should sway tho vote of the precinct committeemen next Saturday when the chairmen are elected. It would be a severe blow 10 the Rhank machine. With t'arlin Rhank apparently breaking with Coffin, it would not be surpris ing to some political observers if Cof(Contlnoed on Page Two.)

takable. Senator New, a warm personal and political friend of President Harding, who has unswervingly supported all the acts and policies of the administration, Is making his race on that Issue. His renomination would ha a sweeping endorsement of the administration; his defeat a crushing repudiation of Mr. Harding's course. Reports from Indiana have been closely watched by leaders of both parties. These reports give Senator New all the best of It. But there are elements in the situation that give no man a “walkover" it is understood here.

SLATEMAKERS WORK OVERTIME MAKING LISTS Confusion Results From Maze of ‘lndorsed’ Seekers at Primary. Activities of the political slate makers In the Republican party today compared In Intensity uith that of bookmakers before a derby. Politicians who tried to figure out how many lists of “indorsed” candidates were put out by all tbe different combinations, organizations and associations seeking personal advantage in Tuesday's primary election gave up the job. Never before has the “slate” trick been resorted to so generally, ; polltlcans say. The poor voter who goes to the polls Tuesday morning without a list of the men who he wants to vote for in his pocket is likely to find himself a most bewildered citizen. Workers for all the contending combinations, organizations and associations, if predictions are true, will be lined around the voting places three deep. Into the hands of waiting voters' will be thrust such at least a half dozen and possible a dozen yellow, green, red, white, blue, and nobody knows how many other colored slips each exhorting the voter to mark a cross after the name of the men therein. Politicians were chiefly interested in the slates which the Marlon County Republican League find the Jewett-Ltiucke, Coffin Dodson combination will distribute. Candidates for Republican nominations prayed they would get on both of them. Leaders in fbe factions prayed they had net slated tho wrong men. Nobody seemed to know whether they had. As was predicted, the Marion County Republican League slate, printed on yellow paper, came out with the names of both Albert J. Beveridge and Harry S. j New upon it. The league Is seeking to i gain control of the Republican county or- I ganizatlon for Mayor Shank and his j chieftains by the election of precinct I committemen Tuesday. The JewettLemcke, Coffin-Dodson crowd hopes to elect their own set of committemen, thereby depriving the city ball of a hold I on tbe county organization and affording I politicians dumped out of power In the I municipal elections last year, a chance to j come back.

THIEVES GET $3,500 LOOT; $1,150 IN CASH Entrance Secured by Going’ Qvev Roof of Em-Roes. CHISEL INTO SAFE High Grade Revolvers, Ammunition and Coats Gone. Loot amounting to abont $3,500, including $1,150 in cash, was obtained from the store of the Em-Roe Sporting Goods Company. 219-221 West Washington street, by burglars who entered the store through a skylight on the roof Sunday night or early today. The burglars picked out about SI,OOO worth of high grade automatic revolvers, S3OO worth of ammunition, five pairs of field glasses and a number of shotgun#. They seemed to confine their selection to goods of the highest grade. The cash was obtained from a small safe in the office. The safe had been turned upside down, the bottom cut out and eight inches or more of concrete tn the base chiseled away. FORGE HEAVY WIRE NETTING. The burglars entered the building, according to police, by means of a ladder from the alley on Pearl street to the roof over the office In the rear of the building. They broke the skylight and forced a heavy steel wire netting. In addition to the list of articles enumerated above the burglars helped themselves to two heavy sweater coats of the best quality and from the way sweater coats were scattered about, the bandits apparently took some time In picking out those which suited them. Such things as war savings stamps and postage stamps did not interest the intruders. These articles were found scattered over the floor about the safe. A larger safe in the basement was ransacked, but it contained nothing of value. <MOOSE TOOLS FROM STOCK. The burglars were not in the least particular in their selection of tools, for a shotgun, one of the most expensive in the house, had been used in opening the safe and the barrel was broken off near the stock. A hand satchel containing thirteen revolvers was found on the roof by Motorpollcemen McClure anti Louden when they were Investigating the robbery. The handle of the satchel was broken and apparently the thieves bad cast the bag aside on this account. Waiter Koeder. vice president of the company, was !u the store at 1 o'clock RttTiday afternoon and at that me everyf thing was in order. This is the eighth time the Em Roe Sporting Goods Company has been robbed, tho last time being about two years ago. The company carried insurance on its cash, but none on the merchandise.
