C. MEETS HERE TO NAME STATE LEADERS Re-election of State Chiefs Slated at Session of ‘Watson Friends.’ With a cut and dried program providing tor the re-election of all its officers, the Republican state committee meeting here today was to be more of a get-together session of friends of Senator James E. Watson than anything else. Elza O. Rogers, Lebanon, was scheduled to be re-elected state rhairman; Misr Mary Sleeth. Rush- ' ille, vice-chairman; Harry Fenton, 'ndianapolis, secretary, and Irving Lemaux, treasurer. For the first time in years there ras no evident desire to unseat the o.cumbent officers. This may be - d to result directly from the intensification of the Watson hold on irt state committee. In Harmony With Regime According to M. Bert Thurman, G. O. P. national committeeman and the senior /senator’s adviser, ninety-one of the ninety-two Republican county chairmen elected Saturday are friendly to Watson. District chairmen elected Tuesday also are said to be in harmony with the Watson regime. State elections followed schedule, except in the Fifth and Eighth districts where the dope bucket received a severe kicking. Frank Gordon. Bluff ton. Eighth district chairman had been expecting opposition from Judge Roscoe D. Wheat, Portland, but when the -meeting opened, the name of Ira J. Wilson, Delaware county chairman, was presented and Gordon was defeated by a 7-5 vote. Nebeker Withdraws At the last minute Mark Nebeker, Clinton, declared he would not be a candidate for re-election as fifth district chairman, and James Raper, Brazil, was named. Tire First district Republicans also voted to replace Bruce Cooper, Stewartsville, who became chairman in 1023, when the Males machine gained control.

A REVIEW OF A VERY TROUBLESOME BOOK Guild Publishing Corporation Issues Sensational Expose of Former National Administration. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THE most troublesome book that I h#e ever had to review is "The Strange Death of President Harding,” based upon the alleged diaries of Gaston B. Means, a former department of justice Investigator and put into narrative form by May D xon Thacker. It has been published oy the Guild Publishing Corporation of New York and has been in the best selling non-fiction class for some weeks. It seems that £his book can cause more trouble at a dinner or supper party than anything that nas been published in my life time. A few nights ago, I was invited to a supper party and the conversation became so hot that the hostess, a firm defender of the Harding

administration, declared that she would not permit the late President to be abused in her home. And I have discovered that the mere mention of this book in about any gathering will cause the air to become chilly and rather unpleasant. , I have always raised the question whether books like this one and “The President’s Daughter” should be reviewed from a literary standpoint because it is the alleged sensational charges and veiled inferences that cause the book to be in demand. As far as I am concerned “The Strange Death of President Harding" at times is an alleged expose of the personal life of the late President Harding and his wife as well as some of the men connected with the administration at that time. The record of Means is well known and even Mary Dixon Thacker in her preface states “I first met Gaston B. Means in the Atlanta Penitentiary—was introduced to him by the chaplain. I heard snatches of his story and was deeply interested.” Mrs. Thacker also contends that she was interested in “the human story” of what is alleged to have happened in the lives of those concerned in the book more than in the political side of the narrative. The book infers some startling conditions surrounding the death of the late President Harding and the book alleges to quote Mrs. Harding as Means remembers his many alleged conversations with the late wife of the former President. It is the most startling indictment in book form that has been published since all the storm broke .around Warren G. Harding. Personally, I have no method of proving a single statement that Means makes. The press has published many things regarding the Teapot Dome scandal and much of that has been based upon official hearings and trials. The best method to handle this

—Photo bv National Studio Illinois Bldg MR. WILLIAM GALUSHA Yet this is not to be wondered at, for Konjola is really thirty-two medicines skillfully blended into one. All who suffer and who would be well again, are urged to get the facts about this medicine from the Konjola Man at Hook’s Dependable drug store, Illinois and Washington streets, Indianapolis, where he is daily telling the wonderful story of this amazing medicine and giving out free samples and literature. Life teaches no finer lesson than that it is wise to profit by the experience of others and there are many such, who, to their everlasting joy, have found relief in Konjola. A typical example of Konjola at work, is seen m the case of Mr. William Galusha, who recently said to the Konjola Man: “I am now 75 years of age and am feeling better than I have in five years. My kidneys were in a terrible condition and I had to rise many times during the night. This | broke into my rest and I became nervous and worn out. My stomach, j too, was in bad condition and ( gas j formed causing me a lot of mfsery. This last fall I had neuritis so I badly that I could hardly stand the j pain. My shoulders ached con- | stantly and my knees were so stiff that I could not walk. I had been j bothered with constipation for J years. “I had been reading for a long i time of the things Konjola was do- j ing for others, and I thought it might do the same for me. This | medicine made me feel like anew man and today my illness is over. | My stomach condition has cleared j up and today I can eat without fear of pain from gas. My kidneys are in perfect shape now and I can sleep through the night without interruption. The aches have all gone from my limbs and I get about as I please without effort. Constipation has passed'and I am again in the best of health. I wished to give this statement so that others could be helped in the same way.” This great medicine has made an amazing record in stubborn cases when I given a fair trial. Sit to eight bottles j of Konjola are usually all that is re- ; quired to bring health and happiness j to sufferers who have been ill for years. The Konjola Man is at Hook's Dependable Drug Store. Illinois and Washington streets, Indianapolis, where he is meeting the public daily, explaining the merits of this new and different medicine. FREE SAMPLES GIVEN (—Advertisement,
