ISG.O.P.KIK. OR K. K. K. G. 0. P. IS QUESTION NOW Hoosier Up a Stump Over Recent Movements in Indiana Politics, Lowell Mellett, Times Washington Bureau Correspondent, visited Indiana for a series of articles. Here is one on the G. O. P.-K. K. K. By I/DWELL MELLETT Is the K. K. K. in Indiana going to absorb the G. O. P. or is the G. O. P. gonig to absorb the K. K. K.V That’s what the population of Indiana would like to know. In the cent primary the K. K. K. certainly absorbed a majority of the Republican voters and immediately thereafter Walter Bossert, political director of the Klan, went down to Washington and absorbed Senator Jim Watson. Unless it was that Senator Jim absorbed Bossert. There are two schools of thought on the latter point. Most Hoosiers profess to believe that it was Watson who was taken into camp and happy to be there, since they say his star in Indiana has been just on the point of sputtering out. G. O. P. Candidate In any case the Klan’s candidate for Governor has become the Republican party's candidate. Bossert. who war, booted out of the party councils by Watson himself only a short time back is now able to deal cn better than even terms with Watson and threatens to supplant Joe Kealing as Republican % national committeeman from Indiana. Republicans w r ho are not Klansmen don’t know whether to like it or not. They unquestionably would dislike it if it were not for the fact that they think the Klan may pull them through the coming State election. Before the primary there was no more hopeless sector on the Republican battlefront than Indiana. They were licked and admitted it ungrudgingly. Govei*nor McCray’s fifty-seven varieties of mis-and-mal-feasance in office had licked them. Then the Klan walked into the primary polling places and demonstrated what they could do. After this last exhibition they have come to enjoy a reputation like that of the German army in the early days of the war. A month ago it was thought that whoever won the Democratic nomination for Governor would be the next Governor. Now there is great uncertainty. A month ago Calvin Coolidge was not supposed to have a chance in Indi&na Now—well, now they say that only the nomination of Sam Ralston by the Democrats will prevent the Klan from pulling Coolid re through along with Ed Jackson, the Klan candi-. date for Governor. Party Lines Shot One certainty in the situation is that party lines are shot to pieces, j A lot of Democrats will vote for Ed Jackson. ,\ lot of Republicans will vote for anybody to beat Ed Jackson And included among the latter, many declare, will be about 150 000 colored voters who won't vote for anybody that indorses the Ku-Klux Klan. The colored vote in Indiana is more flexible politically than in many other States, due to long and adroit cultivation by Tom Taggart, hut they are normally all Republicans nevertheless. Their defection will be felt seriously. The colored voters accustomed to making one cross do the work on any one ballot. Out of the welter independent lie publicans begin to see a large vote for La Follette. With party lines already broken beyond immediate repair, they think it will be comparatively easy to win over great j numbers to the progressive candidate. The labor element has be- j come an enormous factor in recent i years. It was the vote of organized ' labor that* wrecked Albert Beveridge j in his contest with Ralston for the j senatorship. Indiana is thickly dotted j with industrial cities; the lakeshore j fringe is solidly industrial. There j are believed to be tens of thousands I of potential La Follette voters in I these cities. What Will Happen Indiana, on the whole, however, is still called an agricultural State, j In Illinois where the manifestation ' of La Follette strength has-been astonishing. the bulk of that vote came from the farms. Something similar may happen in this State. Forty-five Pigeons Stolen George Waite, 1429 Laurel St., reported to police his pigeon house was looted tof forty-five fancy birds, valued at $225.

The farmer had made a circle, using a stick as the radius, so he had only to measure around the inside of the circle with the stick, as shown in the diagram, to form the lines of his six-sided well.
