SENATE TIMBER IS STUDIED BY INDIANA G. 0, P. Off-Year Election Results Imbue ' Republicans With New Hope. BY JAMES DOSS limr* Mill Writer With Senator Arthur R Robinson now reduced to all intents and purposes to plain Citizen Robinson, the problem facing the Indiana Republican party is that of finding a standard bearer for the next senatorial wars. Os course, it Is too early for any logical conjecture as to whom the party will seize upon to oppose Senator Van Nuys, if the senior senator runs again, but it is safe to say that he probably will come from the younger element of the party. The sporting world axiom about champions—to the effect that “they never come back”—does not apply in politics, but most observers believe that Senator Robinson is dead politically.His requiem is being sung wher•err the results of the recent election are recapitulated, and while it n.ay be a little premature to hold services for him, it is apparent that he is picking at the covers. There is no disposition to rush j things, because the tenor of nationtwo years hence, when the ] qu.-stion of President Roosevelt's re- j nomination will be the issue, may restrain any promising candidate! from taking a certain drubbing. Ci. O. I*. Position Interesting Right now, the Republican posi- ' tion is not unimpressive when all : angles of last week's election are j reviewed. Yesterday, it was shown that the ! Republicans made considerable in- i roads on the rural vote. Today, it j may be noted that they improved! their position in relation to the total vote cast. The Democrats took a loss of more than 100 000. accordmg to an approximate calculation of the i senate vote. While the Democrats I were taking this lacing, the Repub- j licans actually were gaining ap-' proximateiy 20,000 votes over the' total m 1932 when Senator Van Nuys retired the veteran Tunes Eli Watson. Os course, 1932 was a presidential election year and this was an off- j year diction. Accordingly, the total state vote this year was roughly 100.000 less. However, regardless of the size of | the senate vote, the Democratic ; and Republican gams are sig- j nificant and have to be considered ; in then, elves and not in relation to i the size of the vote. Victory Not Impressive It certainly is not the intention of | this observer to minimize the vie- j tory of senator-elect Sherman Minten However, the fact remains that ' Mr M iron’s victory’ over Senator Rt , n is not particularly lm-, p . Senator Van Nuys accom- ‘ i lie Watson downfall by a vol moie than 200 000. The j Mm. n n over Senator Robinson v.. i s i- u illy 60.C00. Smee so many less Democratic votes were rn.u and so many more Repubi.cr.na went to the polls, the inci , ir.’.t nt observer is impressed with ;ii*- suggestion that Republican scratching may have put Mr. Min- j ton over. Certainty. Senator Robinson never ; was popular with his party. A good ; many Republicans always wanted “L'll” Arthur put away. For one thing, he wasn't much ol j a “ga'e attraction.” He couldn’t in- j spire the moneyed members of the ! party to dig down and bring up j what it takes to run a campaign. While it would be assuming too j much to say that the Republican party slipped Senator Robinson the J black spot, it is no secret that the comfortable Republican ballot gains were due mere to an intensive cam- j paign for township trustee and mayor victories, than to an earnest campaign for the senator. McNutt Is Disappointed Naturally, they were glad to win by any plurality, but hoped for a much larger one than 60.000. Governor Paul V. McNutt's public estimate was 100.000. Privately, he expressed himself as believing the plurality might reach 150.000 and revealed that polls made by his pohti- j cal lieutenants mdicated a "sure 144 000” Pleas Greenlee, the Governor's secretary and No. 1 adviser, shared' the views of his chief. Other Demo- . leaders were equally opti- ( mist tc. Os course, as in any other contest, they pay off on the winner and not on the plurality, but the spectacle j of a relatively small majority. Democrat.c ballot losses in the face ot Republican gains and Republican j successes in the community elections does not constitute an altogether appealing picture to the Democrats, j Error Is Corrected To Irate citizens of Perry county, all apologies for an error in yesterday's story dealing with senate returns. The statement was made, due to an error by tabulators, that Perry county went 2 to 1 for Senator Robinson. Philip Zoercher. state tax board chairman, former Perry county resident and loyal Democrat, lost no time in informing the writer that Perry county went approximately 800 votes for Mr. Minton. Perry county’s total is hereby hiked accordingly. Linton Man Dies in Crash B v f Mti ii Press LINTON. Ind.. Nov. 13 —Lloyd Harris. 26. JasonviUe. son of T.

ARIZONA ‘NAVY’ AWAITSTROOPS Woman Pilot’s Mud Scow to Carry Militia to Site of Dam Dispute.

By United Press PARKER. Ariz., Nov. 13.—Arizona's one boat "Navy"—the flat bottomed, mud scow, the Julia 8., rolled at anchor today, waiting to transport more than a hundred national guardsmen sixteen miles upstream to the Parker dam to enforce martial law declared by Governor B. B. Moeur. The troops, en route from Phoenix by bus, will board the transport before noon. The troops will halt construction of a bridge across the Colorado river in preparation for erection of a dam. Skipper Nellie T. Bush, Arizona's only licensed woman pilot, pronounced her twenty-one-ton scow fit and hoped it would stay off mud banks. The mobilization, Governor Moeur said w ? as “Arizona’s last stand on the Colorado river situation.” The Governor was unwilling to await court settlement of the dispute Arizona has been waging for a larger share of the w r ater to be diverted from the Parker and Boulder dams, units of the $225,000,000 southern California metropolitan water district project. "Arizona probably would find itself without any water rights and the dam would be built and water distributed before the courts finished with the case,” Governor Moeur said in answering a telegram from Interior Secretary Harold Ickes, who minimized the necessity of using troops in the dispute. The Governor said he was interested only in obtaining a fair share of water and power rights for his state. California and five other interested states have termed Arizona’s demands exorbitant. Arizona wants rights to half the power generated and water diverted.

CHURCH HEADS • URGE SUPPORT OF RED CROSS Special Appeals Are Issued by Bishop Ritter and C. L. Harkness. Spurred on by words of commendation and encouragement from ranking spokesmen for the Roman Catholic and Protestant churches here. Red Cross workers today continued their drive to enlist all citizens of Indianapolis as members of their organization. The day's activities began with an early morning meeting of the special gifts committee, headed by E. Robert Shannon, at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. This group is seeking large donations to the Red Cross in conjunction with the regular membership drive. The church statements were issued by the Most Rev. Joseph E. Ritter, bishop of Indianapolis, and by C. L. Harkness. Church Federation of Indianapolis president. "I am very glad to give my indorsement to the Red Cross campaign." Bishop Ritter declared. "The Red Cross appeals to every American citizen. It is cur national relief organization, ready to meet major emergencies that states and local communities can not cope with. "It has enabled you and me to do for our neighbor what we alone could never do, but what we should want to do. To enable the Red Cross to be ready at all times to give prompt and effective service, our memberships are necessary. Let us all be proud to be listed on the Red Cross membership roll. It is a roll of honor!" Mr. Harkness said: "Surely no words of mine can add to the high esteem in w r hieh all our people hold the American Red Cross. If there is any cause that should and does have the unanimous indorsement of all people, regardless of race, politics or creed, it is this one. Other organizations and institutions, such as those embraced in our Community Fund, and others that are self-sustaining, are doing an invaluable service. But when emergencies occur, when swift and effective help is needed to save and sustain human lives, the Red Cross always is ready and always makes good. "Asa citizen of this community and as a representative of the Protestant churches, through the Indianapolis Church Federation, I am sure I voice the unanimous sentiment of all right thinking people in wishing success to the annual roll call of the Red Cross, and urging every one to share in this most essential work. May its success be commensurate.with the great need and with your fine record of faithful and efficient work of relief and helpfulness."
