WATSON, M’CRAY
JOIN HANDS IN
CITY CAMPAIGN
"Anti-Jewett-Lemcke Wing to
Be Aided by Branch of
State Politicians.
REMEMBER FESLER RACE
United States Senator Janies E. Watson
•nd Governor-elect Warren T. McCray
will pet into the coming city campaign
for the purpose of adding the Marion
County organization to their State ma
chine and administering a lesson to pres
ent Republican bosses who sacrificed
them to advance the 'interests of County
Treasurer Ralph Lemeke in the recent
election, certain moves of late indicate.
Members of the Jewett-Lemcke organiza
tion, at present in control of the city and
county Republican committees, look for
the move from the two State leaders and
are making plans to block them, if pos
sible.
The first move of Watson and McCray,
politicians expect, will be to assist the
anti-Jewett-Lemeke wing of the party to
gain control of the city organization,
when the city chairman is selected some
time in February or March.
LEMCKE MAY
fcSTAND ASIDE.
Ralph Lemeke is the present city chair
man, but it is understood he does not
desire to continue in the office. In fact?
tt is repeatedly rumored that Mr. Lemeke
Is about ready, either through personal
choice or the recognition that ht* can no
longer maintain his control, to step aside
and let Leo K. Fesler, county auditor,
assume the dictator’s place. Mr. Fesler
will not be a candidate for city chair
man, but it is very generally recognized
that he will be a candidate for the Re
publican nomination for mayor, and one
of the strongest. Somewhere out of the
Jewett-Lemeke organization, which now
gives signs of becoming the Fesler or
ganization. a candidate for city chairman
will be picked. It is this man whom
Watson *nd McCray will lend their sup
port to the antis to beat.
While Watson and McCray naturally
desire a mayor of Indianapolis who
would be a member of their State fam
ily, revenge and the desire to have Ma
rlon County more amenable to their
mandates in the future are the big con
siderations. It is no secret that the G.
O. P. organization in this county, bossed
bv Jewett-Lemeke, County Chairman
Harry Hendri'-kson and Seventh District
Chairman Charles O. Roemler permitted
Watson and McCray to be sacrificed to
add to the majority of Lemeke in the re
cent election. Lemeke received 79.324
•votes in Marlon County as compared with
Watson’s 78,809 and McCray’s 78.582. If
the e’ectlon had not been a Republican
landslide Watson and McCray might have
lost Marion County and the State by
Must the margin of Lemcke’s lead. Con
tretely. it is to prevent a recurrence ot
►his In connection with their future po
litical hopes that the two State leaders
want to oast the present county man
agers.
TROiBI.E GOES BACK
TO STATE CONTEST.
The desire for revenge on the part of
Watson and McCray, also grows out of
the fact that Jewett. Lemeke, Hendrick
son and Roemler fought them both, tooth
and toe nail, in the last State conven
tion. The Marion County delegation iu
this meeting successfully blocked the
efforts of the Watson-McCray men to
have the delegates-at-large go to the na
tional convention at Chicago uninstructed
as to presidential candidates. The dele
gates were instructed for Leonard Wood,
the Indianapolis News candidate. It was
this fight of Watson and McCray which
caused the News to support the Demo- |
cratic candidates, it is generally agreed.
Mr. McCray has a particular dislike
for the above quartet because they sup
ported James W. Fesler, a close relative
of Leo K. Fesler, for the nomination for
Governor against him. Mr. Roemler, al
though the Seventh district Republican
chairman and bound by all the recog- ■
nized ethics of politics to remain neutral
in g prircary election, openly served as
James W. Fesler’s Marion Connty man
ager. County Chairman Hendrickson,
also ethically bound to neutrality the
same as Roemler, openly worked for
Fesler and went so far as to attempt to
pledge all the candidates for nomination
to county offices to support McCray s
principal opponent. Mr. McCray, it is
was forced to spend con
siderable money and effort to finally
beat Fesler in Marion County and the
memory naturally would rankle.
With the prospect of support from Wat
son and McCray, the antis are becoming
more and more confident of their ability
to seize the city organization. They also
point out the fact that many city etn
ployes. beneficiaries of Mayor Charles W.
Jewett and his administration, are eager
to get into the battle o% the opposite
side of the fence, feeling, as most of them
do, that the mayor’s political reign, for
the time being at least, is at an end. The
mayor, so far, has given no indication
of what his desires are and some of the
fifty-two city employes, who are also
preitinct committeemen, are beginning to
get impatient
ANTIS GROW
COXFIDEST.
The administration men are talking of
Leonard Quill, president of the Marlon
Club, for city chairman. He was slated
for the county chairmanship, but oppo
sition to him was so pronounced that
the Jewett-Lemcke crowd polled him out
of the race the night before the county
conrentlon last spring and finally pushed
Harry Hendrickson down the throats of
the rampant antis at the last minute.
The antis say It can't be done again.
Despite the fact that the administration
men were in the organization saddle in
the past election, the antis kept their
forces practically intact through the
Harding Club, which had headquarters at
the Hotel English during the presidential
campaign.
It Is frequently remarked that the
Club was formed, not so much
to boost Harding, as to furnish a gath
ering place for the anti forces.

OIL KING, SHOT
IN HOTEL, DIES;
WOMANSOUGHT
(Continued From Page One.)
in the Republican party reads like a
fable. Hamon's fortune at his death was
estimated conservatively at $30,000,000.
STORY OF FORTUNE
LIKE FICTION.
The foundation of his fortune lay in
the scheme which he devlsedi and carried
through in the development of town sites
and a railroad in Oklahoma. He had no
money with which to carry out the
project, but decided a wealthy circus man
probably would be more ajlt to finance
the project than any other person. He
made the acquaintance of one of the
Ringling brothers. It was said he delib
erately knocked over a cocktail glass in
a New York case at a table where Ring
ling was seated in order to meet the cir-
I eus owner.
Hamon made the most of the incident,
| and Boon got Rlngling’s backing. The
j town of Jakeliainon and another named
! Ringling were started. The railroad
project got under way and then oil was
discovered on the property. From that
time Hamon was a made man.
After making his fortune, Hamon
started to take an interest in politics.
He was such an “outsider” only a few
years ago that when he went to the Re
publican national convention in 1916, he
did not have a ticket and it was only
through the kindness of a friend that he
was able to obtain admittance. But Ha
| iron worked his political game to the
limit and after a bitter fight was named
! the State’s national committeeman. lie
was one of the original boosters of V. ar
ren G. Harding for the presidential nomi
nation and worked for the Ohioan s suc
cess long before the Chicago convention.
WAS mentioned
FOR NOMINATION
During the convention deadlock Hamon
was prominently mentioned for the nomi
nation.
Hamon's little daughter attracted eon
slderable attention during the conven
! tion at Chicago by entertainments at
Republican headquarters. She is an ac
complished violinist. She was at her fa
i ther's bedside when he died.
A son who lives in Chicago had not
i arrived when the end came. Dr. Walter
Hardy, head of the sanitarium where
Hamon died, said that the dilation of
the heart was first noticed at 8 p. m.,
Thursday. A few hours previously
Hamon was believed to have passed the
danger mark, Hardy said. However,
when his heart started to fall, he suf
sered a relapse and little hope was held
for his recovery.
HOT SEARCH
FOR WOMAN.
With Hamon's death, authorities re
doubled their efforts to locate Mrs. Clara
Smith Hamon, who disappeared immedi
ately after the shooting. The woman was
a clerk in a store at Lawton when Hamon
first met her. She was only 17—that was
about eight years ago, according to
Hamon’s friei.ds. At that time Hamon’s
success had not started and he had very
little property. Many stor!e have been
circulated in Ardmore since Hamon was
shet, regarding the frlen iship between
the woman and the oil magnate.
Officials have refused to reveal evidence
which they may have against the woman.
Hamon’s friends claimed a "frame up”
and declared the charges were the result
f political animosity. Reports were clr
culated that witnesses heard Hamon and
a woman quarreling; that when Hamon
and the woman were in the dining room
previously to the shooting they talked
excitedly and appeared angry. Reports
in Ardmore were that jealousy was the
motive for the shooting.
TOOK INSURANCE $'
JUST BEFORE SHOT
ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 26.—A life insur
ance policy for s2oo,id) was delivered to
Jake L. Hamon. millionaire Oklahoman,
who died today by an insurance company
here a few hours before he was shot last
Sunday. The insurance was made pay
ab.e to his estate and the amount will

Anticipate Shopping
Rush Within Week
With the passing of Thanksgiving day.
Indianapolis retail merchants, whose
stores contain many articles showing that
the annual visit of Santa Claus is near,
expect a sharp Increase in Christmas
buying within the next week. "Do your
Christmas shopping early; do It now,"
Is the advice of the merchants.
Some stores now have articles In atock
which were made in France. Italy and
many other foreign countries. It would
be Impossible to duplicate thes° articles,
merchants say, and for that reason the
merchants are urging that the people
who wish a choice selection, do their
shopping early.
"The early shopper bus all to gain and
nothing whatever to lose, while the per
son who delays his shopping has much to
loae," one merchant said today. Only
twenty-three more shopping days remain
before Christmas.

LACK OF CAPITAL
IN PHILIPPINES
Insular Developement Re
tarded, Report Shows.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—Inability to
interest American capital on a lnrge scale
in the nation’s insular possessions, par
ticularly the Philippine Islands, has re
sulted in greatly retarding development
of the great natural resources of the
islands, according to the annual report of
Major Gen. Frank Mclntyre, chief of the
Bureau of Insular Affairs of the War De
partment, to Secretary Baker.
General Mclntyre urges American
bankers and business men to interest
themselves in the trade and development
possibilities of the outlying possessions,
declaring that ‘Targe tracts of the best
agricultural land In the world await de
velopment,” and that "in a number of
fertile provinces the population falls be
low twenty persons per square mile,
while there is an uusupplied labor de
inand in other agricultural provinces
having a population of 250 per square
mile.”
Action has been taken by the Philip
pine Legislature to provide for the ex
ploration and leasing of lands containing
petroleum and other mineral oils and
gases, in which connection General Mc-
Intyre says that "the existence of oil
in widely separated localities in the
Philippines has been known since the
ocupation of the islands, but there has
been no serious effort at development.
There is now promise that in the near
future it will be definitely known
whether this oil exists in such a way as
to be of commercial use.”
Among the suggestions id one that the
immigration laws be amended to check
migration from the Philippines, particu
larly to Hawaii; that the land laws be
altered to permit of leasing of larger
divisions of Government land; that the
limit of the public debt of the islands
he raised from $15,000,000 to $25,000,000;
that salariea of United States officials in
the Philippines be increased, and that
the laws respecting the citizenship of
Filipinos be clarified to give the Island
Inhabitants the full effect of the inten
tion of Congress in declaring them “citi
zens of the Philippine Islands and as
such entitled to the protection of the
United States.”
“There was every evidence of content
ment with conditions and of friendliness
toward Americans nnd appreciation for
what the United States has done In the
islands,” General Mclntyre states in re
porting on a recent inspection trip.
The progress of Porto Rico under the
Organic act of 1917 has been very satis
factory and continues so, the report says,
the Island having Just completed one of
the most prosperous years in its history.
Improvement of freight and passenger
service between the United States and
Porto Rico was recommended.
Liquidation of the 32*1,000,000 bond Is
sue of 196 Sand the collection of the cus
toms in San Domingo by the United
States continued to progress sntlsfactor
Ily during the last year. General Mclntyre
stated.
