He Signed NICHOLSON TELLS HOW HE GOT INTO RACE FOR STATE SENATOR Dpposes Enactment of More Raws — Advocates Better Observance of Those on Books. MEREDITH NICHOLSON’ U , T about 4:30 on the afternoon of the last day for * *~l filing a man came to my office with a blank and told me to sign on the dotted line, and I s gned." That is the explanation of Mere dith Nicholson, author, of why he became a candidate for the Democratic nomination fa*’ State Senator from Marion County. This is Nicholson s third attempt to become a member of the Legislature. His first two were attempts to break ir to the House of Representatives. “The first time I was a candidate, ’ he said, "a man named fjicholson had just succeeded in having enacted a law for the strict regulation of saloons. The convention thought Nicholson was a dangerous name just then and so it refused to nom-j inate me. ) Victim of Dodgers “The second time I made the attempt in a primary. 1 wrote a piece that was not very complimentary to William Jennings Bryan. It was printed in a South Bead paper. A day or two before election copies of my article appeared on. every doorstep in Indianapolis. Somebody spent a lot of money to circulate it. Bryan was popular. I was defeated." fV T lICHOLSON said he would not I I give much time to the pri- ■ -J nary campaign, but that if he is nominated he will make an effort to be elected. “For many \ ears I have written and spoken a good deal on politics along rhe line that it must be made an honorable thing to hold office and that the man who is unwilling to sacrifice his personal comfort for his town, Wis county or his State is not meeting the requirements of good citizenship, ’ he said. “Feeling that I might possibly render some service tc my county and State by serving in the General Assembly, I enrolled myself as n candidate for nomination for State Senator on the Democratic ticket in Marion County. Legislation Hasty “It has been my observation that too many laws are passed without due consideration. The automobile law recently declared unconstitutional was an instance of this. lam against the multiplication of laws that are either unnecessary or that cannot be enforced even if they are written Into the statutes. “I have no fads or panaceas to promote. If I am nominated and elected I shall try to keep in mind the interests of the whole people and of the State. lam against ill-con-sidered experiments in legislation that Increase tax burdens with no resulting benefits to the citizen. Taxes are now screwed up to the breaking point and they must come down. “I am opposed to multiplying public offices to make new demands upon the taxpayer. The State government has become so complex that the citizen can't see the machinery for the number of wheels within wheels, all whirling dizzily with no visible result. For Improved Public Service "I am for applying the same tests of efficiency to public servants that are applied In private business. The whole tone of public service must be Improved, and integrity and effi ciency made the criterion. This is not a fantastic idea. It is perfectly practicable and can be accomplished if the great body of the voters scrutinize candidates and choose serv•ants whose competence and integrity are beyond question. “I hope I am open-minded on ail questions that affect the welfare of the State.

• 'OVERSMENT must be kept ( _ In the hands of the people. ___J The doors of opportunity must be held open to the youth of America. I am opposed to all partnerships between government and special Interests. The oil scandals are only an instance of the kind of thing that has been going on for years in this country. And I am a Democrat because the Democratic party Is the only intelligent, vital force we have in America that resists the encroachmen* upon the poor of the rich and • jwerftr’.”

THREE-SIDED STATE CHAIR Crittenberger, Cravens and McCulloch Appear Leading in Democratic Race, With Taggart Boosting Latter — Convention Is Center, MAYOR’S STRENGTH IN G. 0, P, FIGHT UNKNOWN Shank, Jackson and Toner Chief Republican Contenders Klan, Entertaining Ability and Press Figure in Claims for Candidates, By FELIX F. BRUNER Two three-cornered contests for gu bernatorial nominations in Indiana appeared to be developing today with the primary election three weeks in the future. The three Democratic candidates j who appear to be leaning, according ! to dopesters. are Dr. Carleton R. Mr Culloch. Rale J. Crittenberger and ! Joseph M. Cravens. There are per j slstent reports also that George R. j Durgan, who is seeking the nominaj tion on an anti-klan platform. Is mak lng some progress. In the Republican contest, the lead ers at this stuge appear to be Kd Jackson. Samuel Shank and Edward C. Toner. With Edgar D. Bush showing some strength. There appears to be less chance than ever of a nomination in the primarv. making necessary nominations for Governor in the two party con- j ventions.

McCulloch Taggart Man Dr. McCulloch is running under the Taggart banner. His candinacy is a test of the leadership of Thomas Taggart. The race has evolved into a question of whether Taggart can show h s old-time power and control the convention. Friends of McCulloch say there is no question übout it. Friends of Crittenberger and Cravens are ex pressing their doubts. The McCulloch forces seem to be fentering their attack on Cravens Accusations have been made that he is linked with the public utility interests. Cravens is emphatically denying this charge. In a speech he said he would “shed no tears" if the Legislature abolishes the public service commission. Utility interests are frankly in favor of continuing the commission. The principal strength of Cravens is In the southern part of the .State, with some strength in Marlon County, where he is said to have the support of the faction opposing the county organization.

Crittenbcrger's Support Crittenberger's principal strength lies in. the Eighth and Twelfth Dlr trlcts. with same claims of strength in Evansville and vicinity. Crittenberger's opponents are declaring that he has the support of the anti-prohi-bition element, due largely to the declaration of Stephen B. Fleming, former brewer, that he is supporting Crittenberger. The Republicans have no such lead ership as the Democrats have in Tag gart. Friends of Jackson declare that the Klan vote will give him the edge. His opponents. Shank principally, are declaring that he approved the activities of the R. L. Dollings Company in Indiana. Jackson is denying thlH. Some observers have expressed the opinion that he made a mistake in thus taking the defensive. Shank Unknown Quantity On every side there are reports that Toner is rapidly gaining strength. He has considerable newspaper support. His opponents declare these stories are being manufactured in bis headquarters. There is some indication, however, that the “regular" Repub Hcan organization is behind Toner. Shank Is being looked upon as an unknown quantity at this stage. Experienced politicians are refusing even to hazard a guess as to what will be the outcome of his campaign. He is continuing his intensive tour of the State, with big meetings at nearly every stopping place. His friends point to these meetings as an indication of his strength. His opponents declare the size of the meetings is due to the "mayor’s entertaining ability. Travelers Entertain leader J. Y. Williams of Alexandria, Va., national president of the Travelers' Ported! ve Association, was entertained at the Severin Saturday by Indianapolis Post B.

MOTHERS IH LEGAL TILT OVER THAW I Aged Parent of Harry K, Declares Son Is Cured of Insanity and Is Fighting for His Freedom From Philadelphia Asylum, EVELYN NESBIT OPPOSES RELEASE OF EX-HUSBAND Former ‘Floradora’ Girl Says Slayer of Stanford White Would Imperil Heritage of Their Boy and Revert to Wastrel, By l ulled Pros PHILADELPHIA. April 14 Against the sordid background of the Thaw case begins today a battle of that most potent of human emotions — mother love. Two mothers are fight ing for their boys. The one. M's. Mary Thaw, gray and bowed with her 83 years, seeks release of her son. Harry K Thaw, from the “Kirkbrilies' asylum where he has been incarcerated f-,r seven years. The other. Evelyn Nesbit, opposes : freedom of the man who was once her husband, on the grounds "his re lease will imperil the rightful heritage of her son, Russell William Thaw, now a 15-year-old student in Friends Sehool at Atlantic City. A court fight to free Harry Thaw and declare him sane started before Justice Monahan today.

Claims Mind (ured Thaw's attorneys and those of his aged mother ; who wants the boy that has brought her so much sorrow back with her for her few remaining years are basing their action on a claim that the treatment the millionaire has received at the Pennsylvania Hospital has cured him of the mental affliction which led to his attack upon Frederick Gump. Jr., of Kansas City on Christmas day. 1916. It was following his attempted suicide after this affair Thaw was adjudged Insane. Into the legal proceedings surrounding the present move for Thaw's release. Evelyn Nesbit. known now to the world as a cabaret proprietor ac Atlantic City, hurled her bombshell. “Harry Thaw must not be freed,' she declared, and those whose duty is to approve the release have ac capted her intervention. “It is no! fOr myself I speak.'' Evelyn said. 'I can make my way; scrub floors if necessary It's for the boy, my boy, Harry's boy Russell. Harry is in sane and he mustn't be allowed freedom to squander Russell's rightful heritage. He mustn’t be free, because if he Is. within six months the world will be shocked by another terrible tragedy such as those to which Harry's previous insanity drove him. ' Evelyn, who was married to Thawin 1905 and divorced by the Pittsburgher a decade later. claims he is the father of her coy, who was born in 1909, while Thaw was in Mattewan "I used to visit Harry secretly,” she said. “Heavily veiled. 1 would go at night to an appointed rendezvous near Mattewan. Harry's money enabled him to arrange a few hours of freedom from the asylum. Had Hours Together On these occasions he would come out in a curtained limousine followed by another In which rode goggled guards to assure his return. We had hours together this way, unknown to the world. Afterward, Harry would be driven back to Matteawan and 1 would make my way alone to New York." The boy, Russell, was born in Berlin, whither Evelyn went with a com panlon. After her return came divorce and denial by Thaw of the child’s paternity. Evelyn may first be required to bring proof that the child is Thaw's before her intervention in the case of his release is given legal weight. Hence she plays on her other trump card, her evidence based on years as Thaw’s wife that insanity will re-occur if he is g’ven freedom. Would Revert to Wastrel She claims Thaw now a giayhaired man of 54, would revert to the wastrel of the 90s. who awed even New York with his lavish entertainments and extravagance. She claims inheritance for Russell of the Thaw millions. Several fortunes have been spent by the Thaws in Harry's behalf since the day in June, 1906, when he pumped bullets from an automatic revolver Into the body of Stanford White, greatest of American archi tects, in the gay setting of Madison.. Square Roof Garden. There has ensued the sensation of Thaw's escape from Nattewan, the attack on the Gump boy and the attempted suicide. Through It all, the mother love of Mrs. Thaw has remained unswerving. Os late years. Harry has been per--rqitted to visit her occasionally. But now she wants him back altogeather and she promises to fight with al! the spirit engendered by that mother-love for return of her boy.
