VOL. XXXIV.

RALSTON AND BEVERIDGE NOW RIVALS First Duty of G. O. P. to Rebuild Broken Fences. FACTIONAL FIGHT Breach of New Forces and Watson Helps ex-Governor. With no question remaining as to the results of the senatorial nomination contests in either party, political leaders today turned their attention to building up their fences and planning organizations for the election next fall. Samuel M. Ralston, the Democratic nominee, and Albert J. Beveridge, the Republican nominee, face the starting gun in the long race ending in November. A great deal of reorganization probably will be necessary in the Republican race. The organization which waa back of Senator Harry S. New failed. Asa result there will be much shifting abou'. and probably loud and prolonged appeals for party harmony. The Democrats are in a better position. It was obvious from the start that Ralston was the choice of a majority of the party and a landslide In his direction resulted. The Democrats gained by his nomination and will have little to patch up. EARLY CLAIMS WILL HOLD GOOD Returns are incomplete as to the Democratic contest. Not all precincts have been heard from on the Republican side, but there are indications that the early claim of Beveridge leaders of a majority of 20.000 will hold good. Marion county refused to join the State-wide movement to the Beveridge band wagon and on the basis of official returns from a majority of the precincts, will give New a lead of about 3.500. Returns from 3.215 precincts out of the 3,354 In Indiana gave Beveridge 156.453 and New 107,503, Beveridge's lead being 18.980.

Early returns indicated that the Bev-eridge-New race would be a neck and neck affair, and that it might take the official couut to decide, but when the rural districts began to come in Beveridge drew away from his opponent and his lead increased steadily from that time. RALSTON GIVEN A LANDSLIDE. Former Governor Ralston had things his own way from the start and enjoyed a small-sized landside. However, the interesting feature of the race was the surprising strength shown by Dr. Jesse Sanders. a Garrett physician, almost unknown in the political world. Apparently )he wets throughout Indiana concentrated on him in order to make a show of strength. Sanders’ showing in Marlon County was particularly strong In Boone County, Ralston's former home, the Democratic nominee polled a large vote. Returns show that Ralston's vote there exceeded that of Beveridge and New and the total Democratic vote for Senator was greatly in excess of that of the Republican vote. The primary contest on the Republican side had been expected to bring out a much larger vote. NEW FORCES BLAME WATSON. The New forces were particularly bitter toward Senator James E. Watson, and. after the Beveridge trend became unmistakable, they trade on attempt to hide the feeling that "enator New had been most effectively ''double-crossed'’ by his fellow £ riiator. \s one after an-

other of the Watson strongholds reported substantial Beveridge majorities, the New lieutenants became more and more outspoken and when Watson's own ounty. Rush, reported Beveridge leading by more than 600 votes, all aitemp’s at concealing hostility at Watson were thrown aside, and charges that Watson Is trying to make himself not only the dictator of Republican politics In Indiana, but is aiming at the presidency as well, were made on all sides. The last stand of the New "old guard” was made Wednesday afternoon. A conference of New leaders waa railed, which was attended by Fred I. King. New’s • ampaign manager, Uharles Bookwalter, Eben Wolcott. Ralph I.emcke, Will 11. Adams, reporter of the Supreme and Appellate Courts, Charles W. Jewett, and a number of others. They went into conference with long faces and came out looking even more downhearted. Finally Kin* issued a statement saying that it "looked as if Beveridge had been nominated.’ NEW HEARS OF DEFEAT CALMLY. Senator New did not attend the conference. but left headquarters shortly after noon, and did not return. Throughout the morning he sat at headquarters smiling, chatting with friends, and as county after county reported Beveridge pluralities, he showed no trace of dis appointment and bore the brunt of the bad news far better than some of the v-orkers around headquarters. The women were the last to give up hope, and it was not until King conceded the nomination of Beveridge did they surrender. Then there was a Good of feminine tears, which took the place of )he mutired profanity and chewed cigar butts by which the men relieved their feelings. New York Mayor Is Hurt in Auto Crash NEW YORK.

DEMOCRATIC CHOICE NOT TO RE EASY Two Candidates Claim Chairmanship as Their Own. RYAN CONFIDENT Manning Hopes There Will Be No ‘Undue Pressure.’ With two candidates for the Democratic county chairmanship claiming enough precinct committeemen to assure election and the supporters of a third insisting they hold the balance of power and will be aide to dictate the selection of their man, the meeting of the committeemen at the Indiana Democratic Club Saturday afternoon at 1 o’clock promises to be the most exciting In Democratic annals for a number of years. Russell J. Ryan, who is being backed by the younger and more progressive element of the party, said today he will poll not less than 150 votes on the first ballot. As the total number of committeemen Is 205 and 103 is necessary to a choice, Ryan’s election by a wide margin is a certainty if his figures are even approximately correct. “In only four or five precincts where thero were contests were candidates favorable to me defeated,* Ryan said. *'l feel there is no question of my election by an overwhelming vote." On the other hand, Joseph O. Manning insists he will have 125 or more committeemen behind him when the balloting begins. MANNING FORCES ARE SATISUIEI). “We have checked up the situation carefully and are very well satisfied,” he said. "We ought to go in with 125 precinct committeemen. These are the ones of which I am absolutely certain. 1 hope there will be uo undue pressure exerted. I am not using any money or trying to coerce anybody. Tho convention ought not to be hampered in any way. If that policy Is curried out I will have not less than 125 votes. ' Manning has had the barking of Thomas E. Riley, member of the State industrial board and Democratic member of the board of public works during the Jewett administration. "Corky” John lira and Dennis J. Rush also have taken an active part in the campaign, and there have been many stories to the effeet that Adolph Emhardt, member of the board of school commissioners, has exerted the entire influence of the department of buildings of grounds of the school city in behalf of Manning. Friends of James J. Morlarlty, the third candidate, expressed the utmost confidence today that he will tie the sue cesaful candidate. They do not claim to have enough committeemen to win on the first ballot, but sav that after the Ryan and Manning forces have fought out an inclusive baffle with Moriarity holding the balance of power the convention will turn to him after a few ballots.

“FEELING WILL BE 1 BONED OUT.” A suggestion that the Republican chairmen in Indiana this year would have n difficult rote because of tho intense bitterness of the senatorial fight, was made to Lyons. He said the feeling would be “ironed out” before the elect ion. Supporters of Senator New claim the overshadowing of the senatorial contest bv the organization fights In several district* was partly responsible for the defeat of their candidate. Claims are made in some quarters that trades of support in the senatorial fight had bet n made f,.r organization support. Lyons said he had taken no active part in the senatorial fight and believed himself due to receive the support of both factions of the Republicans. Edmund M Wnsmuth, present State chairman, has raid on several occasions that he is not a candidate for the place again. However, in one statement he tempered his remarks by saying that he did not believe that the office was on which should be sought but should be awarded to the best qualified man.

Something more than election of a majority of favorable precinct committeemen in Tuesday's election is necessary to Insure success in the effort to capture the Marion County Republican organization in the county convention Saturday afternoon, statements of leaders of both the Shank and anti-Shank factions today proved. William H. Armitage, captain of the Shank forces, claimed the city administration put across 150 ont of the 205 men it backed for committeemen, ft will require 103 votes to elect a chairman. Leaders of the Jewett-I*mcke and Cof-flu-Dodson factions, combined Into an anti-Shank group, also profess to control 150 committeemen. It was evident both sides were counting upon the support of a number of the same committeemen. Neutral observers figured It a case of which side gets “double crossed” the worst. Anti-Shank forces found some encouragement in a rumor that close frlend3 of Albert J. Beveridge are not at all friendly to William H. Armitage, captain of the Shank faction. The Marion County Republican League, which sought to elect committeemen pledged to the Shank candidates, issued a slate on which both New and Beveridge were listed. The Armitage workers also made no attempt to keep men who were working to elect Shank committeemen from working for New. It was said by Jewett-Lemcke politicians that the Beveridge leaders were not opposed to election of a Shank county chairman, but did not want him to be a strictly Armitage man, such as they consider William H. Freeman, the only avowed candidate so far in the field. Mr. Jewett and Mr. Roemler were directing the anti-Shank crusade, with George V. Coffin, county clerk, rendering some assistance. Jewett and Roemler traveled about in an automobile visiting committeemen. Coffin remained at the courthouse, where he has been constantly since Tuesday evening. He said he had not had time to get in touch with the situation.

Armitage established headquarters in a room at the city hall and there the committeemen traveled. There was a steady stream of callers all day. CONVENTION CALLED FOR SATURDAY. The convention will be held at the courthouse at 1 o'clock Saturday after' noon. County Chairmen Harry C. Hendrickson will preside. Hendrickson is a Jewett-Lemcke man. He appointed Republican members of boards for Tuesday's election without giving the Shank faction any representation whatever, it has been charged. Both a county and a district chairman will be elected. Roemler. a Jew-ett-Lemcke captain, is expected to seek re-election as district chairman. The Shank forces will nominate William H. Freeman, a member of the Shank board of public works, for county chairman and William E. Reiley for district chairman. Shank leaders said anti-Shank lieutenants are telling nexvly-elected committeemen they will nominate Schuyler A. Haas, member of the board of public works for a time during the Jewett administration and an organization worker in several Slates for Will H. Hays when he was chairman of the Republican national committee. The Shank politicians have heard one report that Charles W. Jewett himself would seek the chairmanship. ACTIONS YS. WORDS. While both sides claimed a majority of the committeemen their actions belied their words. Neither side could sea where there was a possibility of defeat, but both sides were doing everything they could think of to prevent failure. It appeared that the Shank forces had the more substantial material with which to barter. There are hundreds of city Jobs which Mayor Shank can pass out. The anti-Shank forces can control some positions at the courthouse and Federal building, but n >t nearly so many nor so desirable as those at the city hall, It was said. To even up the odds, it appeared that the anti-Shank forces were better equipped financially. Financial resources have been known to have considerable bearing upon who got party chairmanships in the past. It is generally regarded as an intensely “practical” matter in Republican ranks and one in which all is fair “as in love and war.” The city administration group is understood to be prepared to strengthen its forces by tho appointment of approximately twenty committeemen to city Jobs when the board of public works meets Friday afternoon. Meanwhile the Shank forces will be watching the court house carefully to see what extraordinary appointments are made there. Shank leaders held a conference las r night and decided they would back Freeman and Reiley to the end. It had been rumored John F. Walker, superintendent of street cleaning and Marion county manager for Beveridge, would be the Shank choice for county chairman at the last minute but Armitage has Insisted for several weeks Freeman will be his nominee and Walker issued a statement denying the rumor regarding himself.

RETRIBUTION! Hi' CORDELL HULL. Chairman Democratic National Committee. The defeat of Senator New is a defeat for the Harding administration; It can bo interpreted In no oilier way. In 1920 the Republican leaders conducted the voters of the country to the top of the mountain, and there they pointed out the promised land that lay In the valley below. They pointed to decreased taxa- . tlon, Increased business, good times, non-entanglement with Europe, and a dozen other tilings all of which they liaYo failed to bring forth. They broke their promise to the voters of the country, and now the voters are proceeding to exact aevenge. The Indiana result is the first step in the direction. . The country is going to take longer steps In that direction next November. Retribution Is overtaking the Republicans.
