SOUTHERN Indiana, it is reported, will bring a candidate for the nomination for United States senator to the next Democratic state convention. County and district chieftains of that region are discussing the avail-

ability of Lew M. O'Bannon, Corydon publisher, who it is understood would welcome a call. O’Bannon was the Democratic nominee for Lieutenant - Governor in 1924 and made a good race, considering the fact that the Ku-Klux Klan was out fighting tooth and nail for the election of Ed Jackson

O’Bannon

and Harold Van Orman, Republican nominees for Governor and Lieu-tenant-Governor, respectively. In fact the vote accorded O’Bannon is worth some comment. nun , Where Jackson defeated Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch, the Democratic nominee for Governor, by 72,481 votes; O’Bannon lost to Van Orman by 70,997. In other words despite all of the pressure and campaign put on by the Democrats in behalf of McCulloch, personally a very popular man, O’Bannon ran better in his race against Van Orman that the candidate for Governor did against Jackson. Since 1924 the Corydon publisher has kept more or less in the party background, sedulously refraining from becoming entangled in any internecine squabbles, yet answering all calls for service. O’Bannon has been prominent in Democratic affairs for years. In 1887 he was named Harrison county surveyor, and in 1890 was elected county recorder. He served as county chairman from 1896 to 1898, when he was appointed private secretary to Congressman William T. Zenor. O’Bannon held that post for ten years, following which he took up the active practice of law and also became editor and proprietor of the Corydon Democrat. u tt tt Asa result of his newspaper connection he served as president of the State Democratic Editorial Association, in which he has continued to be an active figure. To certain degree candidacy as southern Indiana’s bid for the senatorial nomination would put him in a key position in event the next convention should deadlock over Walter Myers, Albert Stump, Evans Woollen and some other aspirants who have as yet not announced. A solid delegation from the southern section might win him the nomination.

He Apparently Means Business By United Press STEVENS POINT, Wis., July 17. —City Manager Peter Walraven’s idea of keeping motorists off newly paved streets here is to scatter roofing nails over the fresh concrete', providing a blowout for those who drive on the streets before they are opened to traffic.
