PICTURESQUE FIGHT IS NEAR UN MARY Although Not Showing on Surface, Repeal of Direct Voting Takes Center of Stage Tuesday. . all LoornT m'cray

BV P AM.ATMl I CORRESPONDENT INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Feb. 8. Although it does not appear on the surface in legislative action the question of the repeal of the state-wide features of the direct primary today took the center of the stage in the legislative gossip and about every legislator, lobbyist or railbird encountered had some sort oftheory as to how the much-talked-of new bill would make its appearance and what would happen to it after it appeared. It Is realized by all that the new fight is going to be much more picturesque than the first fight which resulted in the death of the Beardsley bill to amend the primary. Scores of petitions on both sides of the question from all parts of Che state are expected and undoubtedly the champions of the primary and those opposed to it will come to Indianapolis in great numbers. It seems to be the general opinion that the new bill will be presented in the house and there are two channels through which it may come. It may be introduced as an entirely new bill or it may be presented to the house elections committee as a substitue for the Willis primary bill which is already in the hands of that committee. Favor Latter Course. Most legislators appeared to believe today that the latter course would be the one chosen because in that way there will be quicker action. It is the understanding that those who wish to amend the primary law would like to push the issue through as rapidly as possible. They realize it is said that the more time that intervenes the more time the opponents of the bill will have to sound the cry of protection of the people's rights. They realize that the talking point in favor of direct action by the people is a good one. Friends of the bill also will make much of the proposal that voting machines shall be used in casting ballots in state conventions while the opposi lion will contend that most of the trading and dealing is done . in the counties and that the voting nachine will mrrelyoffer an opportunity for secret voting. The chairman' of the house elections committee which will have charge of any primary hill that is introduced in the house is Represent ative Noll, of Indiana polls, and it is understood that he is favorable to the amendment of the primary law along

the lines proposed. Noll-McCray Friendly. It is said also that Mr. Noll is on very friendly terms with Governor McCray, who soon after he was elected recommended action, on the primary questions. There is no detailed information on the other members of the committee but some of the legislators wish to amend the primary law, or at least will stand in favor of amending if, were saying today that the elections committee is "all right." Generally it was believed the committee would make a majority report in favor of a bill to amend the law although it might not be a unanimous report. The other members of the committee are: Overmeyer, Dean, Hare, Hughes, Jinrett. Kares, Mann. Humriehhouser, Beyler. Hansell, Johnson of Monroe and Erni. Fear McCray's Pressure. It is true that a good many of the influential men connected with the Republican state organization are interesting themselves in the proposal to amend the primary law but this pressure is not feared nearly so much by the pro-primary men as is the pressure that Governor McCray may be able to exert. In fact it is believed by a great many that the kind of action that is finally taken on the primary question will depend largely on what Governor McCray does. It is pretty well known that the primary bill was pending in the senate. It is said that any word he passed out at that time went out too late to have much effect on the fate of the bill. Outside forces that seek to amend the primary law are much more active now than they were when the Beardsley bill was under consideration. In fact the fight for the Beardsley bill was made largely within the senate and the ea.se with which that measure was killed or the vote which was 2C to 21 against, it should not be taken as any indication of what may happen when a new bill is brought up. Several Considerations. If the primary fight after it starts in the house reaches the senatetand there are mny who think it will .get there, then several things must he taken into consideration. One of (lie most important questions is ' Will the Democratic senators who oted against the Beardsley bill stand pat hen the question comes up again?" There are nine Democratic senators and when the Beardsley bill fight was madn all except llepler find one who was absent voted with the pro-primary Republicans. The leadership of Senator Nejdl iilso must be taken into consideration. Neldl is an expert parliamentarian and it Is recosrnized by those who have observed the senate proceedings that from the first day of the session he has ben building up an organization. In a number Sf instances he has gone to tho aid of various senators and in that, way .has formed a number of alliances that mav prove effective, j Nejdl Fearless. It Is remarked also that the stand Governor McCtav may take will not affect Ne.ldl. It is r?cnlled tint, in the Fnefldl session he onnosed Governor Goodrich and at a night session took occasSn to make a long speech in (Continued on Page TwoJ

PEACE COMES AFTER SOLQNS VISIT M'CRAY Conference Develops Plan to Preserve Party Harmony Governor Agrees to Urge Conclave for Compromise. house Tight brews

(By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. S. Governor McCray received an informal call today from 20 senators, foes of the primary repeal proposal, and out of the conference grew a plan to preserve party harmony. The governor agreed to ask the state central committee to name a committee of five to confer with a like number from the ranks of the primary supporters, with a view of affecting a compromise. The group which visited the governor in his office led Senators Holmes and Nejdl agreed to the abolishment of the presidential preferenc primary. The governor said after the conference, that he still favored repeal of primary nominations of candidates for governor and United States senators. Up To Committee. "But this is not a administrative proposal,' "he told newspaper men. "It is up to the Republican state committee. The repeal of the primary law's state-wide provision is a platform measure. By the way, the Democrats also had a plank in their platform for the repeal of the primary." Senator Holmes acted as spokesman in the conference with the governor. Others who spoke were Senator Aldredge, Hartzell, VanOrman, Nejdl, Henley and Strode In the party besides the speaker were Senators Masters, Steele, McCullough, Moorhead, Miller, Lindley, McConaha. Arnold, Decker, Hepler, Kline and Nichols. Declares Mistake. Tears started in Governor McCray's eyes when he protested his conviction that the state-wids primary was a mistake, according to senators who were present. "It is asking too much to drive a cndidate who wishes to serve to make two canvasses of this state in one year," the governor 6aid. "The physical hardship and the expense is too great, for the method to be practical, Jt takes years from man's life ttf do it." w ' There is a marked disposition on the part of both sides in the senate primary struggle to strive at a solution of the problems involved. Caucuses to that end are expected to be held. House Fight Brews. The fight is also quietly brewing In the lower house. It Is significant if representatives who are quietly taking a poll of the house are all on confidential terms with the administration. Representative Willis, of DeKalb, who is close to Governor McCray, introduced a bill last week to abolish the entire primary system of Indiana. Likelihood of such a measure passing the house is said to be very remote. It would, however, serve as a basis for a compromise. JAP LEADER TO ASK NAVAL CURTAILMENT fBy Associated Press) TOKIO, Feb. 8. Yukio Ozaki, a former leader of the Kensie Kai, or opposition party, told The Associated Press this morning he would today Introduce independently before the diet a resolution proposing curtailment of naval armament.

Control of Education Involved in Bill Pending Before Congress

pam.adiim M3WR Di'REAl' WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. Shall the complete control of education within the states remain within the states, or shall it be surrendered to the federal government to be controlled through a new department of education ? That is the question involved in the so-called Smith-Towner bill, now pending before congress, a measure which has provoked lively discussion throughout the sixth district of Indiana. A number of people who have written to their senators and congressman concerning the Smith-Towner bill, which provides for a department! of education with an initial appropriation by the federal government of $100,000,000, a like amount, to be raised by the ceveral states, have approved It. For. the most part "these correspondents are college professors and school teachers. Probably' more people, notably business men, have expressed opposition to the measure. Opponents of the Smith-Towner bill assert that the placing of the control of education under the federal government would be a violation of state rights and not in accordance with the provisions of the federal constitution. One Indiana congressman emphasizes thl3 fact in reDlving to constitu over states rights. uojcct to expense. The principal objections made ; against the Smith-Tower bill are that ucational activities, through centralized control, is essential in the United States if the education of the American people is to be maintained at a j high standard, which is answered by i the opponents of the Smith-Towner bill that every state now has the right to maintain as high standard of education for Its people as it desires. Opposes Bureau Senator King of Utah has opposed federal control of education for the principal reason that it is, in his opinion, one more step in the direction of paternalism. He has stated that it ,is tne idea of "all bureaucrats that the people are not capable of governing themselves. He said: "The federal government Is to look Ul ilHIIUIIlU I UUH I (By Associated Press) DAYTONA. Fla., Feb. 8.

Bureaucracy is so Insinuating that the internal affairs of the states are rapidly coming under its control, anu the federal official may soon destroy home authority and parental responsibility." It is understood that the committee on education of the house, which has been considering the Smith-Towner bill, has no intention of reporting it to the house at this session. It may come to the fore at the next session, however. The National Woman's party will hold a convention in Washington Feb. 15-18. It is expected that several Indiana women will be in attendance. It is expected that the convention will adopt a "new program" of "equalization measures" including: Citizenship rights of American wives of foreigners. Mothers' rights to equal control of children. Woman's right to admission to all civil service branches. Wives' rights to complete control of wage and property. Woman's right to ignore discriminations of customs not effecting men, which, it is hinted, might include the wedding ring, which custom puts upon the finger of the wife, indicating her traditional limitations attendant upon matrimony, while the husband bears no similar sign. ALLEGED BOOKMAKER AND VICTIM FINED Gambling for more thnn pettyamounts was exposed in police court. j Tuesday morning when A. Bishop, i who is alleged to have been running i a pool on horse races, was brought into court after C. C. Sanders appeared at police headquarters charg ing that Bishop had refused to pay a bet on a horse race. Crooked work on the part of Sanders was charged by Bishop, who said that Sanders had been working with I a partner at the races who would t phone nim tne result or races, and Sanders would then bet on the horse that had won the race. Bishop stated that he had lost considerable money during the past week in this manner. Sanders stated that he had made the bets with Bishop, and from the meagre testimony it appeared that Bishop had refused to pay a $325 bet Monday. Sanders came to the police to try to have them make Bishop pay the bet, it is said. Both men pleaded guilty, and were fined $5 and costs, and Bishop was warned to discontinue his book-making.
