INDIANAPOLIS. Ind . April 21—So
confident do Republican m-ganieatton
loaders *iw*r to sec that Senator
Watson util win an easy victory over
Herbert Hoover for the ftoosier presi
dential indorsement that they are giv
ing more and more thought to the
S’matorrhip and governorship contests
There is a general feeling in Indiana
that the make-up of the State tickets
will have considerable bearing on the |
national end of the campaign next
Pall
It can truthfully be said that Re
publican lenders In general would tie
pleased if the triangular srnator&hip
and the eight-sided governorship races
could not be settled in the primary
May ft and that the task of selecting
nominees would devolve on the State
convention May 24 Under the Indiana
law a participant in a State-wide
primary must receive a majority of alt
the votes cast or otherwise the primary
is disregarded and the convention
makes the nominations.
Robinscn Favored.
It appears, however, that leaders will
be doomed to disappointment in one
Instance at least, for there is every indi
cation that Senator Robinson will be
renonaina'od over his two opponents.
Arthur L. Giilkwn. th? enisading
attorney general who brought fame to
himself by attacking the Ku Klux Klan
end the Anti-Saloon league, and Solon
«T. Carter, veteran of the famous Rain
bow Division. Robmson has the advan
tage of being in office and in addition
he has organisation contacts which
are dented the other two aspirants. He
also has the support of the Ar.ti-Saloon
League, which still is a powerful asset
In Indiana despite setbacks.
Unless Carter and Gilhora develop
more .strength than is now apparent ,
this race will be settled in the primary.
Oilliom. because he advocated legalisa
tion ot medicinal whisky in Indiana
and because he preferred a citation
against E. S. Shumaker, superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League, charging
him with contempt of the Supreme
Court, has been labeled a wet by the
drys and despite his protestations that •
be is not wet nor fanatical he is bear-!
Ing the brunt of the moist label in thi«
campaign Carter has caused some of
the old wheel horses to set up and take
notice by the lively manner in which he
has sailed into Senator Robinson.
Makes Accusations.
He has openly charged that Senator;
Robinson’s first appointment, made by
Gov. Ed Jackson, was at the dictates of
D. C. Stephenson, formerly grand j
dragon of the Ku Klux Klan and now .
•erring a life sentence for the murder
of an Indianapolis girl: that he was a .
political crony of Stephenson: that his J
political adviser is George V. Coffin.
Marion County Republican boss who
was indicted with Gov. Jackson on a
charge of conspiring to bribe former j
Gov. Warren T McCray, and thit his |
law firm at Indianapolis has been de- j
fending bootleggers while th? Senator
•eted as a paid lecturer for the Anti-
Sakxin League
Carter has also brought into the cam
paign the debate between Senator Rob
inson and Senator Tydings over the oil
Rm*ar. He caught up Robinsons as
sertion that h? had been indorsed for j
appointment to- the Republican Slate i
committee and has statements from ;
•everai of the committeemen tending to I
show that the committee never in- |
dorsed Robinson or any other applicant, i
and that the selocuca was made by j
Gov Jackson without sanction of the
State committee Senator Robinson has 1
remained mute while these charges, are *
filling the air. but has announced that
he win return next waek to grmain
until the end of the campaign.
Schortcmcier Leads.
Frederick I. Satwrterarier. secretary
of state and formerly secretary to Harry
S. New. Postmaster General, is teadhig
in the governorship race, but whether
be will attain a majority is problemati
cal. If the leaders were left alone they
would nominate Charles W. Jewett, for
merly mayor of Indianapolis, but
Jewett is encountering some rough go
ing in the out districts, where he is not
known. Indications are that Schorte
mcier will be trailed by Jewett,, Hairy
G Leslie, formerly Speaker of the House
of Representatives; Frederick Landis
formerlv Representative in the Congress
from the eleventh district, and Thomas
Adams. Vincennes editor, who orig
inated the political probe in the State.
Republican leaders do not attempt to
conceal real apprehension when they
discuss a State ticket this Fall headed
by Robinson and Schortemeier. They
are fearful that these? men will not rep
resent the “new deal*' that so many
voters clamored for after the governor
and other State officials were indicted,
and that the Democrats will take ad- i
vantage of the situation
Daily Is Groomed.
The Democrats, it is indicated, are
preparing to press home that issue by ,
nominating Frank C Dailey for gover- •
nor. Daily arose to national fame while
as United States district attorney he
indicted and convicted Mayor Dorm M. j
Roberta and a group of Democratic poll- ;
tieians in Terre Haute for election f
frauds. Later he acted a* special dis
trict attorney In prosecuting a group
of Indianapolis Democratic politicians
and also brought indictment* against
Democrat* to Muncie and Evansville.
Dai>y led the prosecution of United
States Senator Newberry in Michigan.
Democrats plan to make their cam-
Mdgc around Dailey an the platform
that he ek-aned up Indiana once and
that he will do u again, Dailey has the
backing of about all the influential
party leaders although he has seven ,
opponents. HAROLD C FEIGHTNER

on rivalry for political control in near- j
ly every instance. In two Pittsburgh f

pledged to Hoover, opposing unin

DELEGATION POST
Named on At-Large Slate by
Connecticut Republican
Convention.
PIVH'UI Dispatch to The f»tsr.
HARTFORD. Conn., April
Henry Roraback. chairman of the Re
publican State central committee and
member of the national committee, who
ts a strong advocate of the renomina
tion of President Coolidge, was the
first delegate at large to the national
convention chosen by the Republican
State convention Wednesday, and will
undoubtedly be made chairman of the
delegation. His associates as delegates
at large at Kansas City will be United
States Senator Bingham. Gov. John H
Trumbull. Miss Katherine Byrne of
Putnam, vice chairman of the State
committee; former State Treasurer
James F. Walsh of Greenwich, State
Treasurer Ernest E. Rogers of New Lon
don, Mrs. Alice W. Russ of Shelton,
j Republican national committee woman.
The alternates at large are Mrs. Her
man M. Hubbard of me, Mrs. Rus
sell Lee Jones of Hartford, Charles H.
Allen of Rockville. William G. Park of
Hanover, Speaker John H. Hill of
Shelton. Raymond F. Gates of Wind
ham. Harry E. Mackenzie of Bethel.
Bingham Presides.
The Republican convention held at
Hartford was presided over by Senator
Bingham as temporary and permanent
chairman and “keynoter.” The selec
tion of Senator Bingham ns a dele
gate is a departure from the party
custom of many years, as no Republi
can United States Senator has been
n delegate to the national convention in
more than half a century. A feature
of a somewhat featureless and entirely
harmonious convention was the adop
tion of a resolution urging Senator
McLean, whose successor will be nomi
nated by the Fall convention, to be a
candidate again.
The election of delegates to the Re
publican national convention indicates
what has been expected—that Con
i necticut would send a Coolidge dele
gation. although without instructions,
it is believed here that this State will
cast the first votes for the President.
Dawes Seen Favored.
The Republican convention did not
discuss presidential candidates, and
the gathering of delegates in groups
threw little light on the preference of
the Republicans of the State for sec
ond choice. Signs of waning interest
in the Hoover candidacy are seen in
Connecticut and of an inclination to
favor Dawes instead.
Roraback will be without opposition
for re-election to the Republican na
tional committee, but it is not certain
that Mrs. Russ will be a candidate to
succeed herself on the committee.

convention. May 10. Ten delegates will
be named to attend at Kansas City.
In Democratic ranks candidates for
convention places are becoming more
numerous. There are now probably a
score of aspirants, men and women, and
the selection will be made at the pri

of anti-Smith talk, and the majority of
those asking for places at Houston indi
cate their opnositlon to the New York

! open sessions.
The State convention, which is to
■meet May 15, is to select Mon*

, there is every probability that they will
be instructed for Hoover, although
friend cf former Gov. Lowden of Il

they did in th convention. Pome?
