DEMOCRATS OF STATE GUIDED BY NEW PILOTS Old Machine Is Replaced by Smooth-Working Steam Roller. BY BEN STERN Inaudible, yet real, is the "taps” being blown today over the old Indiana Democracy. The curtain is rising on anew order in state politics, with Paul V. McNutt, nominated for Governor Tuesday in Cadle tabernacle. R. Earl Peters, state chairman, and Thomas D. Taggart, national committeeman, leading the procession. Delegates returning to their homes today were proclaiming that the old machine, which creaked so horribly and had patch upon patch, has been replaced by anew. gleaming steam- roller, which efficiently and relentlessly crushed all opposition Tuesday and put over its full program. And this same machine gave every candidate a run for his money. Without deviation in any contest, it permitted the full roll of counties to be called and then came the clock-like switches which put over choices previously agreed upon. One Real Contest There was only one real contest and that for the nomination for United States senator between Frederick Van Nuys, former United States district attorney, and Walter Myers, Speaker of the house of representatives, which the former won, 938 to 620. Only discordant note of the harmonious convention was precipitated by Judge Frank Baker of criminal court. Baker, according to witnesses, tossed a couple of epithets at E. Kirk McKinney, chairman of the Marion county delegation, who struck Baker on the jaw. Before they could warm up to it, the crowd stopped the fight. But Baker's conduct cost George L. Tren.ain of Grecnsburg the nomination for judge of the appellate court . McKinney, as delegation chairman, had announced the county’s vote as 133 for Tremain and 72 for William L. Dudine of Jasper. M’Kinney railed Liar Baker contested the vote, saying that Tremain was not being given enough votes. When McKinney started repolling the delegation, and announced a shift of more votes to Dudine, Baker is reported to have called McKinney a "liar.” Th delegation, on repoll, changed to 157 for Dudine against 48 for Tremain. Later Baker’s friends said he had disputed the vote in the Tenth ward. Not one dissenting vote was recorded against the platform read by James E. Deery of Indianapolis, chairman of the resolutions committee, which called for repeal of the eighteenth amendment and the Wright bone dry law and opposed return of the saloon, proposed social legislation, and made specific recommendations for tax relief. All incumbent officials were renominated by adoption of a resolution. McNutt was assured the unanimous nomination for Governor when withdrawals of John Fredrick, Kokomo manufacturer, and Wood Posey, mayor of Terre Haute, were announced. The Slate Ticket The ticket which will oppose the Republican choices made two weeks ago is as follows: Senator, Van Nuys; Governor,: McNutt: Lieutenant-Governor, M. j Cliford Townsend, Marion; secretary of state, Frank Mayr Jr., South Bend; treasurer, William Storen, Scottsburg; auditor, Floyd Williamson. Indianapolis; superin- j tendent of public instruction, George C. Cole, Lawrenceburg; supreme court judge. Third district, James P. Hughes, Greencastle; Fifth district, Michael Fansler, Logansport; j appellate court judge. First division, j William F. Dudine, Jasper; Second division, Ralph N. Smith, La Porte; attorney-general, Philip Lutz Jr., Boonville, and reporter of supreme and appellate courts, Miss Emma May of Terre Haute.

Tax Toy Tires By United Press WASHINGTON, June 22. Even the tires on wheel chairs and children's toys are taxable under the new manufacturer's sales tax on tires, the bureau of internal revenue rules. Other rulings on the new taxes include: Motorcycles and sidecars come under the automobile tax. If fur is the most costly item in a fur-trimmed coat, the 10 per cent tax on furs must be paid on the price of the entire coat. Toilet preparations which have medicinal value are not exempt from the 10 per cent levy on toilet goods. All “masticatory” preparations are taxable as chewing gum even though some of them are sold as medicine.

BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League. “T HAD too many trump”—you x would not expect to hear a bridge player make that remark very often. However, that is the troublesome part of the following hand. The declarer finds himself with one too many trump. and if he is not careful to get rid of this trump, his contract will be defeated.

The Bidding The contract bidding, under the writer’s system, which is the one-over-one, would be South one heart, West pass. North does not have normal support in hearts, but under this system partner can not pass when there is no intervening bid if he holds as little as two queens. North in this case holds a king and a queen, and his proper response is one no trump. In other words, this acts as a warning to parther that the hand is very weak, but it does given him opportunity to re-bid. East passes and South, holding three queens himself, knows that North must hold at least one king in order to keep the bidding open. With a king and a queen, game is in sight, so South loses no time in jumping the contract to four hearts. A bid of three hearts by South should be carried to four hearts by North. The Play West’s opening lead is his fourth best club, and East’s jack forces the declarer’s ace. Two rounds of trump

fare taken and West shows out, discarding a spade. The declarer plays a small club, which East wins with the king. East returns the jack of spades and declarer takes the finesse, West winning the trick with the king. A spade is returned by West and won by the declarer with the ace. Declarer’s next play is the queen of diamonds and East must refuse to win otherwise, the declarer can get into the dummy with the king of diamonds and finesse the hearts. The jack of diamonds is led next by the declarer and again East refuses to win. The third diamond is won by East with the ace. He can not return a heart or the declarer will finesse, so he leads the nine of clubs. The declarer is down to the queen, ten and one heart, and a diamond. Dummy has three spades and a heart. Would you discard the diamond and trump in dummy with the nine of hearts? If so, you will find that you have one too many trumps in your hand and can not pick up East’s jack. The proper play at this point is to get rid of your three of hearts —trump this club with the three of hearts and overtrump it in dummy with the nine of hearts. Now you c*m lead the ten oi spades. East will discard a club and you will discard your good diamond. When you lead the seven of spades, East will be forced to trump with the eight of hearts, and you can overtrump with the ten and pick up the jack with the queen, and in this manner make your contract of four odd.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

The days have come, the Indiana June days when all good Hoosier fancies lightly skip to thoughts of cooling off. and, man, woman, and child, they agree there’s no place under the sun or moon like a bathing beach or pool. At Broad Ripple, Bill Tomlinson, senior life guard, and his five aids, have arranged a little extracurricular fun for the spectators. Sunday it will be in form of a bathing beauty contest, and pictured, upper left, are a pair-of probable contestants, Miss Alice Darnell, reclining in the boat and garbed in no more than trunks and a bandeau—a popular type of suit at the north side pool—contemplating the chance that Miss Peggy Ronuk will have, arrayed in one of those pantaloon-effect things that mother used to splash around in. Upper Right—Another of Bill's pastimes is teaching the young idea how to crawl. Not over a floor, mind you, but the six-beat variety that propels the human form through water with the ease and speed of a hungry shark. These youngsters are a pair of Bill’s pets starting early in life to rule the waves. Below—One attraction at the pool these days is a group of young female aquatic stars from Indianapolis Athletic Club, who are using the Broad Ripple tank as a training ground. Here are shown Mary Alice Shively and Jane Showalter, back stroke performers, starting a sprint. Farmer-Labor Candidate Quits By United, Press WASHINGTON, June 22.—Colonel Frank E. Webb has resigned as candidate for the presidency on the Farmer-Labor ticket. He said he could not agree with the platform adopted by the party* at its April convention in Omaha, Neb. He previously had been repudiated by the party’s executive committee.

ROOSEVELT IS A PRODUCT OF ‘MAGICNAME'. His Start in Politics Was Begun Because He Had T. R/s Cognomen. (Continued from Page One) by holding briefs for big corporations in the metropolis as a law partner of Alton B. Parker. Now came the first stroke of j Roosevelt luck and the new state senator’s first contact with the! “Three S's”—Sheehan, Smith and Seaburj’—who were to affect his political thinking for the next twenty-one years. Led Fight on Sachems The opening of the fight purely was accidental. It was not antiSheehan so much as pro-Shepard—-in behalf of Edward M. Shepard, outstanding Brooklyn lawyer, the Seabury of his day, who had prosecuted the notorious John Y. McKane and twenty other ballot-box stuffers at Gravesend, Coney Island. Murphy announced that he was not for Shepard, and gradually it leaked out that the Tammany chief favored Sheehan instead. The approaching caucus was expected to send Sheehan to Washington. Sheehan needed 101 votes and the whole number of Democrats was 114. To borrow an idiom of a later day, it seemed to be "in the bag” for the blue-eyed one. The story goes that Roosevelt, interested in Shepard, talked it over with William Church Osborn, then Governor Dix’s counsel, and today regarded as one of the foremost liberals in the country. Roosevelt announced that he wuold not vote for Sheehan. He enlisted eighteen Democratic assemblymen to stand by him against the Buffalonian, and when the caucus ballot was taken. Sheehan had only sixty-two votes, with twenty-two for Shepard and seven for D. Cady Herrick. New Luster to Family When the legislature met, Sheehan on that first ballot obtained ninety-one votes, the number of Democrats in the caucus, and he had failed to get the election by ten votes. The deadlock went on, day by day, with the insurgents meeting in the Roosevelt home until, finally, after three months, Murphy submitted the name of Supreme Court Justice James A. O’Gorman, a Tammany hall sachem. O’Gorman, ltke Sheehan, was a Catholic. A whispering campaign had made it appear in some quarters that Roosevelt was opposing Sheehan on purely religious grounds. Roosevelt had heard these whispers. He accepted Murphy’s selection, threw his support to O’Gorman, and the jurist went to the United States senate, where, in the

Only a Dud By United Press WASHINGTON, June 22. A thirty-six-hour hunt failed to reveal any trace of an automobile reputedly en route to Washington with a load of high explosives, and authorities concluded today that they had been the victims ot a practical joke. The “tip” that two desperate characters were coming here from New York with the explosives first came from an “irresponsible” treasury employe. Chief W. H. Moran of the secret service disclosed. During the search, hundreds of motorists entering the city from Maryland were stopped for investigation.

belief of many, he achieved a medi- ■ ocre record. Fight against Sheehan, that had its origin in behalf of the militant and progressive Shepard, gave newluster to the Roosevelt name. Folks said here was a fighting Roosevelt, a Democratic one this time, and the rookie state senator seemed destined to follow the path of the Republican Roosevelt. This, Franklin Roosevelt's critics insist, was the true apex of his political independence. From then, they say. his, public career has been that of an equivocator and a trimmer. Coincidence was carried out to the extent that Franklin Roosevelt became an assistant secretary of the navy, in 1913, and, too, became a nominee for Vice-President, in 1920, with James M. Cox. Roosevelt spoke enthusiastically for the league of nations. That doctrine he repudiated last February, with the preface that he had no apology to make except that the league of nations today was not the league of nations as conceived by Wilson. The critics said that Roosevelt’s high idealism had fallen a few pegs in twelve years. Have you made a lucky buy at any store advertising in The Indianapolis Times?

MAPS SCHOOL EXPENSE CUT Good Proposal Would End Water Cost Burden. Burdensome water bills at Arsenal Technical and Manual Training high schools, soon may be a thing of the past if plans of A. B. Good, school business director, mature. Good plans to ask the school board for authority to have tests made of old wells at the tw'o high schools with the view of using them to supply water for the schools at a cost only a fraction of the amount paid monthly to the Indianapolis Water Company. Cost of installing reserve tanks and electric motors would be equaled within a year by savings in water bills, Good has been advised by engineers, he said. The monthly water bill at Tech is about S2OO, based on an average consumption of about 100,000 gallons of water, while Manual’s water bill is about $125 a month, Good pointed out. The well at Tech, which is 456 feet deep, now is being used to supply water for dntnking purposes at the school and would require only a larger supply tank underground and a more powerful electric motor, at a cost of about $1,500, to supply the entire water needs of the school. The well at Manual has been abandoned for a number of years.
