N.Y.MSSAYS G. 0. P. ANXIOUS OVER UOOSIERS Klan Leanings of Senate Candidates Puzzling ‘ Leaders. The New York Times, in its issue of Sept. 16, said: "Talk in political circles is whether a surprise is in store for Senators Watson and Robinson in Indiana. Robinson has been charged with being a member of the Klan, while Watson never has, as far as is known, taken any steps to oppose the hooded order, but has in fact enjoyed its support. "This was indicated at the na- 1 tional Republican convention, when the Klan delegation from Indiana offered him, as best fitted man, to be President Coolidge's ' running mate. The Indiana situation is giving Republican party leaders a lot of anxious thought.” Was Stephenson’s Counsel There has been much talk of Senator Arthur A. Robinson’s connection with the Klap, but unbiased investigation has failecj to establish the fact that Indiana’s junior Senator had ever joined. Robinson, Symmes & Melson, the Senator’s law firm, have been counsel and legal advisers for D. C. Stephenson, now serving a life sentence in 1 the Indiana State prison for the murder of Madge Qverholt--2c r, and former grand dragon of the Klan, in civil cases arising from Klan affairs. The records of the Marion County courts show that Robinson, Symmes & Melson represented Stephenson in the suit brought by the receiver of the defunct Hoosier Tailors Company, of which the former Klan leader one of the incorporators. "*( The suit was brought to recover payment for stock subscribed for, as well as the collection of numerous bills for clothing furnishejd friends of Stephenson. In the original list of claims of the Hoosier Tailors, before suit was filed, appeared the name of Ed Jackson, Governor, for $l5O, which "ie receiver states the Governor paid after demand had been, made. <> Robinson’s firm made its appearance for Stephenson at the time the suit was filed and through the time that the former grand dragon testified. Then the receiver asked tftg dismissal of the suit, which was being tried before Judge Pro Tern. Dunlevy, now, a candidate on the Republican ticket, hnd reflled it at a later date and secured judgment. The judgment, however, has not been collected, as yet. Fought Against Bossert The name of the Senatpr’s firm also appears as counsel for Stephen son in the cases the man who said "I am the law in Indiana” brought against Hiram Evans, imperial wizard of the Klan, and Walter ; Bossert, Indiana dragon, after the removal of D. C. Stephenson from that office. These letter suits have caused many to wonder what the Klan vote will do for Robinson on Nov. 2, although it lsyintimated thgt the, senator had made his peace with Evans. The name of George V. Coffin, "boss” of Marion County and the power behind Arthur Robinson, has been mentioned many tymes in the various controversies which have infested the ranks of the Klan. Only recently the Red Star League, newest offspring of the old Rian, dismissed George Elliott, as one of its officers, because he is .alleged to have made peace with Coffin. The support accorded Senator James E. Watson by the Klan had Its inception in the seating of Senator Mayfield of -Texas, whose case was before the elections committee of the United States Senate, of which Watson was a member. For some

THE MAJOR IMPROVES JACK’S WIND; PICKS HIM TO WIN

By Major Iloople Former Sport3 Editor of the Bombay India Relish. r——| TLANTIC OttTY, N. J., Sept. A I 21. —Egad, folks, now for a bit 1 •**] of expert advice. I am picking Dempsey to wip. On my way from Stroudsburg to Atlantic City, I called on my old friend of Yykon days, Tex Rickard, Released from any responsibility in refereeing the match. I am able to make my selection among the two gladiators. While Tunney is a dear friend of mine, Haw, m'lads, I feel that I must go on record as choosing the champion to emerge the victor. Advises Champ H’m, by the way, Dempsey has improved vastly since I last saw the fellow. ‘Probably due to the advice I tendered him). One of his sparring partners told me that I did more to improve the champion’s wind than all his roadwork. Pondering this statement, I wonder if the bounder meant it as a sly Insinuation about my six-hour conversation with Jack? The fellow went a step farther time there have been rumors, supported and unsupported, of the friendship existing between Watson and W. 11. Zumbran, political agent of the national Klan. Watson Aids Mayfield It is Zumbran who is alleged to have interested Watson in the seating of the Klan Senator from Texas and made the deal whereby Watson was given the support .of the Klan for his part in having Mayfield declared legally elected. The minute organization made for Watson, which extended into each of the 3,551 precincts of Indiana, with ten workers in each, was originated by the Klan. Zumbran, u lawyer from the vicinity of Kansas City, makes Washington his home and has social ambitions, as well as political ideas. Having been rewarded for his part In the Mayfield matter, the Senator ■.now is reported to have promised Zumbran much, personally, if he can swing some parts of the /badly disorganized hooded order Into line. Against both the Senators it is believed will be found the friends of Walter Bossert, who has never quite forgiven Robinson for bringing the suitsjin behalf of Stephenson and never did enjoy the friendship of Watson, because of what he has termed as "double dealing." “Will Be Sorry” Bossert, one of the original Jackson boosters; gave much time and money to the Governor’s primary campaign in the days before TANARUS). CStephenson “became the law” and is supposed to have been promised the first senatorial vacancy, for his time and money. When the vacancy did occur, Bossert was placed on the shelf and Robinson given the place. In the ranks of the Bossert group now are found all the former friends of Watson, Robinson and Jackson, who feel that “they have been put out on a limb and the limb cut off." , A local politician of more than average political acumen, remarked the other day that most of the present candidaes will “be sorry that they ever knew D. C. Stephenson.” The records of the local courts, of cases in which Senator Robinson and his law firm represented D. C. Stephenson show the following: No. 26177, filed May 13, 1924. D. C. Stephenson against Walter Bossert. t On account. No. 26602, filed June 27, 1924. D C. Stephenson afalnst Fiery Cross Publishing Company, receivership. No. 27435, filed Aug. 21, 1924. Re celvers of Hoosier Tailors, Inc., against D. C. Stephenson. On account.

and offered me a bottle of arnica, making some slighting reference to my vocabulary, which 1 patiently ignored. While watching the champion's footwork during shadow boxing I felt a resounding whack on my back which forcibly ejected from my lips a very fine perfeeto I had borrowed from Mr. Rickard. I was about to heel around and bash the energetic greeter on the proboscis when, lo and beholdl if I didn’t meet the twinkling eye of my
