‘New Faces for Old’ GARY, Ind., Oct. 24.—A new Republicanism is growing up in the northwest section of Indiana. Not only in Lake county, but in the surrounding counties of the Second and Third districts, therfe is a loud demand for new faces in state G. O. P. leadership. Candidates on the county tickets are prone to blame their ills on the leadership of the Watsons, Goodrichs and Hays, whom they charge with destroying the party for their own self-perpetuation. “In a time like this, when resentment is high against the party, the men whose years of tenure of office have made them the incarnation of all their ills to the voters should have stepped out and permitted the leadership to go into the hands of younger Republicans who haVe not been discredited. “Instead, they continue in control and foist on us a candidate for Governor who has about as much voter appeal as Ben Turpin,” one county chairman declared. Watson may as well stay out of some of the counties in this section if he does not want to injure himself more than he is hurt at present, is the comment heard everywhere. nun For years he dealt with the workers through various chairmen and partisans who were thrown into the discard in the*last primary and so the senior senator’s contacts are not what they once were. On his visit to Lake county two weeks ago, to build his fences, they tell me. he called various staunch Republicans of former years and asked that they visit him. The invitations went unheeded. On the other hand, Frederick VanNuys, Democratic senatorial nominee, was an instant success at the rallies arranged for him and privately received assuranqes of

A group of members from Merlin chapter of the order of Druids will attend the meeting of Meridian Grove in their hall at 1317 South Meridian street, tonight.

LEGION ELECTS C. A,CASSIDY Named Commander of East Indianapolis Post No. 13. Charles A. Cassidy has been irtstalled as commander of East Indianapolis post, No. 13, American Legion, at a meeting in the Dearborn hotel. C. A.

support from many prominent Republicans. One chairman told me that if Will Hays indicated that he wanted to come into his county, he immediately would wire the state committee that all speaking dates were booked. “Who is Hays to come into Indiana, make a few appearances and then go back to Hoover and tell him ‘I did it’ if the state should happen to go for the President?” , “Hays is a back number as'far as I and plenty of other county chairman like me are concerned.” # # A One of the stories told to indicate Hays’ tactics during his state chairmanship that is getting a laugh in the northwest corner of the state is the following: • It is charged that it was Hays’ custom to sleep during the day and then after midnight begin a furious telephoning of the county and district chairmen. When they would answer the phone sleepily, Hays, bright and*, chipper as a sparrow, would inquire indignantly: “What do you mean by sleeping? Why aren’t you out organizing, like me? Here it is 2 o’clock in the morning and I’m wide awake', attending to organization efforts.” After a laugh which greeted the tellling of this inciSent, one of the chairfmen remarked: “Yes, he was working the telephone, and that’s one reason why he left the state committee SIOO,OOO in debt. That went to build the new Bell Telephone building in Indianapolis, I think.’-’ General opinion expressed here is that there must be a reorganization cf the state committe after the election, win or lose. That perhaps is one reason why the chairmen are not so greatly worried about the possible defeat of Watson, because it will remove him as a dictator in event of such reorganization. From commment of the party leaders, it is beginning to appear that Nov. 8 may be the ides of March in more than one respect for the Watson oligarchy. o. e7~s7 to entertain Worthy Grand Matron to Be Guest of Beech Grove Chapter. Beech Grove chapter No. 465, Order of Eastern Star, will entertain Miss Mabel Carithers, worthy grand matron, Thursday night at a called meeting in the Beech Grove Masonic temple, following a cov-ered-dish dinner at the Methodist church, at 6 p. m.
