Political News of Day

In Indiana

, - ( INDIANAPOLIS. Ind . Kov. I t. !

During the heat of the city campaigns the more important state-wide issues to he determine fl next May in the primary election have ho-n forpotten for the moment. Many things have been going: on Quietly in state politics, however, while public interest was centered on the municipal fights. The more important of these Is a visible slump in the boom to have Albert J. Beveridne become a candidate for the Republican nomination for United States senator next year. Democratic leaders In the Seventh district attempted to chill the ardor of Republicans known to favor the re-election of Senator Harry S. New by spreading the word that the election of Lew Shank as mayor Indianapftlis would give complete control of the Republican organization over to Mr. Beveridge. It Is now clear that this Democratic argument was merely Intended to throw dust to becloud the local issues. That the Republican organization fight in the capitol city had little, if anything:, to do with the senatorial race in 1922. is clearly demonstrated by the word which is being: passd out by the lieutenants of Mr. Heveridge, declaring: It lg very doubtful whether he will become a candidate. This was predicted last summer in seriously at that time by the men

ww-. i ml a. i ii . mm m 1 who are anxious to have the former senator enter the H.-ts. Friends of Senator New, despite the indications of Mr. Reveridtie's retirement, are still a little dubious. While they believe it is likely Mr. lieveride will not step in and cause an intense primary battle, yet they point to the fact that the former senator is aain i'n the stump in lndi.ma. Last Friday he spoke at (Toshcii and Warsaw, in his ppee-ri Friday h ursjed the justice of a soldiers' bonus. A pa in on Saturday lie spoke in Fast Chieaico on "'Americanization." On Nov. 17 Mr. ReveridKe will step into the national publicity spotlight when he delivers an address in New York city at a convention of the New York State Chamber of Commerce on the "i'light of Business." Of couse" no. mention Is made in these speeches of his possible candidacy. Yet, when he takes a stand on the soldiers' bonus no political observer will say that Mr. Beveridgre has not hit upon a subject very much akin to a campaign platform plank. A (fain, the subject of "Americanization" is still regarded as timely it be the text of an address from the Chautauqua stage or the political stump. But the most important subject to the men of affairs at this time in politics or out of it is that of "'business." And it is upon these three preat subjects that Mr. Revoridgre the citizen is talking as he emerges from several months of comparative retirement. It can be safely, and accurately, asserted that when Mr. Heverldce retired from his speaking tour in Indiana last summer he was in a most receptive mood to plunge into the senatorial contest with all the vigor at his command. It is known it was at bat time number of sp'akinc dates

never captured the election by such a landslide if his opposition was even fairly well organized. Thomas Tag-g-art of French Lick and a number of other leading Democrats, including L. Krt Slack, former Fnited States district attorney, tried to build up an organization, but all their efforts were in vain. The party is simply demoralized in the Seventh district and can not get on its feet. And it must be remembered that about one tenth of the votes of the state are in Indianapolis.

for this fall were arranged for him. , I'.-vf ridge Is merely tilling some prearranged speaking- dates at one time intended to further his political ambitions. Should it develop that Sir. Beverldge loes not en'er the contest it can no! be assumed this will guarantee Senator New the nomination without opposition. There are several other budding candidacies each of them beirg held back until the condition of the waters become more certain. These possible booms are all. without exception, less formidable than the one which might be launched by Mr. Beverldge. In fact, Senator New's friends regard them lightly. i ' Although the Democratic organization received some slight encouragement in spots In the municipal elections the terrific death blow given that party In the Seventh district by the overwhelming victory of Lew Shank, Republican mayor elect of Indianapolis, has more than counteractedas far as state-wide political contests are concerned any slight local achievements. Democracy is merely a name In Marlon county. It is not represented by the least semblance of an organization. The Democratic organization is in a more deplorable condition in Indianapolis than in any other part of the state. It has ben

defeated consistantly since 1514 and at each election by a more discouraging plurality. Under the Indianapolis charter there are nine councilmen three of whom must be members of a minority party. Four years ago in the city election the Democratic ticket was third and did not even get these minority places in the council. As there wore only two tickets ;i the fold In Ii-npolis this year the Democrats obtained the three minority places on the council. These will be the first Democratic office holders in Indianapolis or Marion county in four years. The personality of I,w Shank was largely responsible for eliminating the Democratic party as a factor in the Seventh district. He has called to his standard the bulk of Democrats and retained most of the Republican vote. It Is well known that Mr. Shank was bitterly opposed by certain members of his own party. Many of these Republicans were influenced to vote against Shank by the malicious attacks hurled at him by the opposition press. If it was not for these Republicans voting for the Democratic, candidate his strength, poor as It was, would have been still more pitiful. While several thousand Republicans scratched Shank they voted for the remainder of the ticket. On the other hand Democrats for Shank voted the straight Repub'Ta" ticket. This resul'ei 'n the flection of the other Republicans besides Shank by pluralities larger than their opponents' total vote. Seldom bos a local tie.et been elected In Indianapolis by a plurality of

more than 5.0QO. Mr. Shanks' plurality was 2.".K'0. The plurality received by President Harding in Marion county last car was only 000. It is true that Shank could have

10 DEAD, 30 HURT IN NEW YORK FIRE

Many Victims of Tenament House Blaze Burned in Their Beds.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14 Ten persons are dead and an eleventh is dying as the result of a fire sweeping through a five storv tenement house at 108 West

17th street here early today. Two of the victims were children. So much progress had the fire made before it was discovered ani so rapIdly did it spread that everal of the victims were burned in their beds without a chance for life. The causo of the blaze has not been learned. Thirty persons were burned or injured in the mad scramble for safety that followed the sounding of the alarm by employes of a postal sub-station across the street. The injured were attended by ambulance surgeons. Seventy-five persons, mostly Greeks and Spaniards, were made homeless by the blaze, which gutted the interior of the building. Quick work by the firemen in running an 85-foot extension ladder up to the roof of the. tenement saved a dozen lives. The firemen were just too late to save Henjamln Diaz. 25. who lost his grip on a third floor windowsill just as a ladder was being put up to him. He fell to the sidewalk and sustained a fractured skull and legs. Fireman .Patrick Foley rlsSked his life when he plunged through the flames to rescue an unidentified woman who was so badly burner! she la now dying in Rellevue. Idlline Mullano, 25, was also taken to Belleveue suffering from a broken arm sustained when he was pushed off the tire escape, by exciter tenants. Eight bodies have been recovered early today.
