GUBERNATORIAL ACM WORRY, TOWU AIDS Early Rivalry Reported in Race for G. 0. P, Noml- * nation. By Jepson Cakm Rushing of the season by a number of candidates for the Republican gubernatorial nomination is disturbing the managers of Senator James E. Watson’s candidacy for re-elec-tion, it was said today. The managers had hoped to declare a moratorium on maneuvers concerning the governorship until after the crucial date in November, but thpy keep bobbing up, according to the politicians. Fear of Rivalry •Fears are expressed that the rivalry ' Clyde A. Walb, G. O. P. State chairman, and M. Bert Thurman, collector of internal revenue, with respect to becoming the next ' chief executive of Indiana will destroy party harmony and cause renowned chieftains to sulk in their tents when they are needed on the firing line. Walb, the dopesters have it, has perfected an alliance with Governor Jackson and George VivCoffln, thereby gaining powerful adherents over the State and nearly all the strength of the Marion County ball-bearing political machine. Owes-Thurman Debt However, Watson owes Thurman a huge debt for his cooperation in pulling the wires that led to his nomination in the primary. Many persons say that Thurman will be the secret choice of Watson’s airtight organization. Political observers say that never before in Republican history has the gubernatorial crop been so early and bountiful. With two years to grow, the output numbers nearly a dozen prominent Republicans. There Is Secretary of State Frederick E. Schortemeier, powerful with G. O. P. editors, who is deemed a strong compromise possibility. Ora Davies, Kokomo, manager of the primary campaign of Senator Arthur R. Robinson, cannot be slighted and those who oppose the Anti-Saloon League’s domination of party affairs are mentioning the name of State Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom. Duvall Boosted From the ranks of State legislators come the names of Harry G. Leslie, Lafayette, House speaker and Lemu, 1 Pittenger, Selma, House majority door leader. Recently circulars were issued in ''lndianapolis, signed by the “Duvall for Governor Club,” which were considered as evidence that friends are striving to induce Mayor Duvall to enter the race. From Evansville*come tidings that friends of Lieut. Gov. F. Harold Van Orman and Mayor Males are battling for the advantage of the line-up in southern Indiana. 49 BANKS CLOSE DOORS Serious Financial Situation in Georgia Denied, However.
