A. I. BEVERIDGE IS CHOICE OF REPUBUCANS FOR SENATOR

RALSTON WINS PRIMARY RACE . FOR SENATOR

No doubt that Samuel M. Ralston has received a majority over his four opponents for the Democratic nomination for United States Senator appeared in returns from approximately one-sixth of the 3.302 procints in the State today. It-' appeared certain that Ralston would have almost twice as many votes as the others combined, with Dan W. Simms running second. Dr. Jesse Sanders third. B. B. Shively fourth and Charles F. Howard last. It is notable that no bitterness entered into the contest for the Democratic senatorial nomination. In approximately 500 precincts heard from Ralston was averaging flfty-fiva votes to the precinct and Sims 10.5, bringing: their total approximate vote on this basis to 27.500 for Ralston as compared with 5.250 for Simms. Sanders was estimated to be only a few hundred votes behind Simms with Shively about the same distance behind sunders An indication of the way Ralston was running ahead of the field was contained In returns from seventy-one out of eichty precincts in St. Joseph County. Ralston had 2.104 and the others combined a little over 1,000. B. B. Shively was rnriuing second in this county with fed. but this was not typical. Simms bolding second place as a rule. From early returns Shively appeared o have done well in hts home district, the Kleventb, but even here Ralston was estimated to have a clear majority. He r -s des at Marion. ttr Ralston was far In the lead in Washington. Decatur, Blackford. Ohio, Clarion, Steuben and other counties. Sa: dors, the wet candidate, go' most of his rotes from the industrial districts, the early returns indicate. He was reported to have a considerable vote in Evansville and Vanderbtifg County. Ger‘OLD GUARD’ DAZED WHEN NEWS COMES WASHINGTON, May 3.—Something Tery closely akin to consternation and panic struck “old line" Republicans, in Washington when returns from the Indiana primaries indicated the probable vltcory of ex-Senator Albert J. Beveridge the ftfrmer Progressive, over Senator Hary S. New, close, personal friend of President Harding. and recognized as an Administration spokesman in the Senate. Senator James C. Watson of Indiana received a private message telling Beverdge's lead over New. Democrats were openly jubilant. They were quick to assert that the New-Bev-i ridge contest was heralded by all sides as a "test of the Administration's popularity," and that Senator New hud the moral if not the actual support of the Administration in his contest. The Democrats will interpret the result as a "repudiation of the Administration. which ever way the cat jumps in jthe final returns, for even if Senator New wins, it will be by so small a majority that his friends can hardly hail it as an "Administration victory.” Republican party leaders were frankly fearful of a bitter contest over the result in Indiana, which might rip the party in the State asunder. While they were not talking for publication, they privately pionted out that the result being exceedingly close may lead to demands for a recount and to charges, etc. Administration leaders frankly conceded that the surprising show of Beveridge strength is going to give a general impetus to the ‘‘.progressive element" within the party, and that it quite probably will encourage other contests of like nature in other States. Watson entered an emphatic dental .of < barges by some of S-nator New • friends in Indiana that Watson was secretly for Beveridge during the campaign. This charge apparently was based on tlie fact that Rush County, Watson's home, went for Beveridge. "Vou can deny that for me most emphatically." said Watson "AH through the campaign I was for Senator New. I believed he would be renominated. The • harge that I opposed him secretly or otherwise is unqualifiedly faj.se." Inquirer Plant at Cannelton Burns f’AXNEI.TON, Ind., May 3—The plant of the Canelton Inquirer, owned by Charles T. Miller, internal revenue collector. burned Tuesday, causing a loss approximated at SIO,OOO, partly insured.

man precincts gave him some little help, it appeared. Simms' greatest strength was in his home district, the Tenth, the early figures show. Ills home is at Lafayette. The Ralston landslide rame as a surprise to some Democratic politicians who had expected he would fail to get a majority with so many opponents splitting up the vote. Failure to poll a majority would throw the nomination up to the Democratic State convention.

BOTH SIDES FEEL SURE OFTHEIRMEN At Beveridge county headquarters, where the tote on precinct committeemen was being watched today, Shank leaders asserted they were assured the Shank faction tas captured the Republican county organization. CofHn-Dodson-Jewett-Lemcke leaders were not willing to admit defeat. Former Mayor Charles W. Jewett said liis wing has named fifty more committeemen than it needs to control. Tlie Shank faction lai.l positive claim to committeemen elected in twenty precincts as follows: Fourth precinct of the First ward, Eleventh and Twelfth precincts of the Second ward, First and Second precincts of the Fourth war I. Seventh precinct of the Fifth ward. First, Second, Third and Seventh precincts of the Seventh ward; Third, Sixth. Second and Eleventh precincts of {he Tenth ward; First, Fifth and Sixth precincts of the Eleventh ward; Second precinct of the Thirteenth ward. Third precinct of the Fourteenth ward anti Fourth •■{ Wayne Township. Tbit Shank faction backed candidates pledged to vote In tlie county convention, next Saturday afternoon, for William H. Freeman for county chairman and William E. Rellley for district chairman. The other crowd backed candidate.- pledged to vote for whomever it proposed. Shank faction leaders are admitting that some of the candidates for other offices, notably Albert J. Beveridge, whom they indorsed, were knifed by the Jewett-Ijemoke forces In the Fifth. Sixth and the negro section of the Third ward. They contend that Shank precinct committeemen were elected in ea-h case. Negro politicians supported the Jewett-Leracke slate for county and national offices, but backed the Shank aspirants for places in the county organ! zatlon, they said. Politicians agree the fight for control will not tie ended until the county convention Is over, even though one side might have elected a majority of Its candidates for precinct committeemen. The history of such struggle* has demonstrated the views of precinct commit teemen may be changed. In a number of ways, between election day and the time they vote for chairman. Commtttepmen may be given jobs at the city hall by the Shank faction—and It Is understood a large number of jobs are available.

TREE TRIMMER DIES OF SHOCK WHILE AT WORK A man, believed to be Iladen Fisher, 33. was electrocuted today while trimming a tree in the rear of 2021 Prospect street.

Looks Like Winner

JOSEPH r. TURK. Early returns indicate the nomination of Joseph P. Turk as the Democratic candidate for Congress from Marion County by a substantial majority. Mr. Turk made the race on a straight out wet platform.

NEGRO VOTE NOT ENOUGH TOSAVENEW With all but three negro precincts considered damaging heard from unofficially, John F Walker, county manager for Albert J. Beveridge, today predicted that Marlon County will go for Beveridge by a majority of from 1.500 to 2,000 Walker said the only districts Beveridge feared in the county were colored, and since New has been able to pile up a 1 lead of only approximately 2,000 in these districts, the vote from the rest of the county will make Beveridge the winner. New headquarters nad unofficial returns from sixty eight precincts in the county giving New 7.963 anil Beveridge 6,275. a New majority of 1.690. Beveridge county headquarters had heard from fifty four proi nets, giving New 7,073 and Beveridge 5.013, making New's lead 2,060. Reports were persistent that if the result in Marion County Is close when the official vote Is counted resort would be taken to legal action to determine whether the count is correct.

; “It appears that Albert J. Beverj idge is the Republican nominee for j United States Senator.” j This statement was made today by I Fred I. King, Harry S. News campaign manager. “However, we are not ready to concede absolutely,” lie said. Mr. King said the figures at New headquarters still indicated a slight lead for New, but that he had just received a report from Lake County indicating Beveridge had carried the county by a large majority. Mr. King intimated it was the belief of New headquarters -hat this was sufficient to swing the nomination to Beveridge. “Our own figures had been only 500 majority for Beverdige,” he said. “In addition to this there are returns to come in from Madison County and several other places which probably will overcome Sen ator News lead. On the face of avail s I able returns it looks as if Beveridge i had been nominated.” IThe New managers had not given up hope of victory, however, and insisted , that final returns would show that 3 Wtk i had carried the S;atf by' j They pointed out that only one-half of ! -Marlon County is included in the figures given out by them, and among these missing Marion County precinct* are many negro precincts. These local negro precincts have been giving New a vote between two and three times that of hi s''opponent. They also insist that many New strongholds from throughout the State have not | yet renorted. Beveridge mangers claim the state by I 20.000 or more, pointing out that the rural districts have been coming in j strongly for Beveridge and they say the : majority of the precincts out are of this character and will more than offspt any big majorities returned for New by the local negro precincts. All through the morning the New lead, according to figures compiled at his headquarters, had slowly but steadily climbed until it stood at 3,414 in 2,061 : precincts at 11 o'clock. The New forces j began to take on an air of optimism, but i the events of the next hour dashed the newly aroused hopes, for the next 114 | precincts wipes out the New lead en- | tirely and put Beveridge ahead by 141. Approximately complete figures, as j compiled on forty-two counties at New ; headquarters, gave Beveridge txventyi eight counties and New fourteen. The counties were divided as follows: New—- | Allen, 900. Dearborn, 500: Henry, 504; 1 Howard, 72: Huntington, 104; Kosciusko, | 673; La Grange, 239; I.a Forte. S00; Pike, ! 490; Putnam, 264; Starke, 372; Steuben, 625; St. Joseph, 575; Switzerland, 539; Vermilion, 199; Warrick, 500; Whitley, 700. Beveridge—Bartholomew, 170; Boone, 1.140; Cass, 450; Clay. 760; Davies, 350; Decatur. 355: Fayette, 347; Franklin, 75; Fulton 140; Gibson, 156: Hendricks, L 016; Miami. 900; Morgan 434; Newton, 100; Ohio, 37; Owen 125; Parke, 200; Ripley, 599; Scott, 25; Shelby, 100; Sullivan, 100; Vigo 667; Washington, 400; Wayne, 1,500. Senator New appeared at his campaign headquarters in the Severin Hotel late in the morning after having kept in close touch with results received there throughout the night. He appeared slightly worn and anxious but expressed confidence as to the final result. During the morning many of Senator News friends came to headquarters. By noon there was a large group around the Senator. Among the visitors were Charles A. Bookwalter, member of the board of park commissioners, and former mayor; William P. Evans, county prosecutor, and Richard Fairbanks, son of former Vice President Charles Warren Fairbanks. Fred I. King and others at the New headquarters were at a loss to explain the wide difference between figures which they had and reports gathered by other agencies. Those tabulating the result at New headquarters said that nothing xvas recorded except the figures by precincts on New and Beveridge and that estimates ' of majorities and all other calculations were disregarded. !
