SICK MAN IN
POLITICS ONCE
MORE FIGURES
Attack of Paralysis
Removes Astute
Leader.
M’CUMBER IS SAD
Campaign Manager’s
Retirement Held
Ominous.
Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
BY ROBERT BARRY.
WASHINGTON, June 23.—Once again
has a sick man In politics thrown na
tional results Into confusion. At the
Chicago convention of 1020 the Illness of
Senator Penrose, the “sick man of Spruce
street,” was held to have altered the
purposes of the Republican party. At
San Francisco the nomination of Janies
M. Cox was attributed to the physical
Incapacity of Woodrow Wilson, the “sick
man of the White House.”
This time it is Aleo McKenzie, most
astute manager of the northwest terri
tory. He lies In a Minneapolis hospital,
a victim of paralysis, near the border
line between life and death. He Is the
manager of Senator Porter J. McCum
ber. His elimination from the do-or-die
strvrgle between Republican conserva
tives and Non-partisan League radicals
in the great granary came as a stunning
blow to Administration forces. To some
It meant nothing less than the nomina
tion of former Governor Lynn J. Frazier,
opponent of McCumber In the Republic
an primaries set for next Wednesday.
McCCMBER HIMELF
IS “IN THE PrMPS."
Senator McCumber was “In the dumps"
and his friends and aides were dismayed
over the turn of events. They were
candid In their acknowledgments that
odds were against the incumbent and the
Republican party was In for greater
trouble through Frazier, than through
the results In Indiana, lowa and Penn
sylvania which are to bring Beveridge
and Brookhart to the Senate and put
Gifford Pincbot in the Governor's chair
at Harrisburg.
Defeat of so Important a Republican
leader as the chairman of the all-power
ful Senate Committee on Finance,* to
which he fell heir under the senority rule
when Boise Penrose passed from the
scene last New Year’s eTe, was viewed
by Administration leaders in the light of
what might follow In the national poli
tics of tomorrow, especially 1924. Mr.
McCumber has not been a strong chair
man. He lacked many qualities of his
predecessor. Instead of dominating the
■Senate, as did Penrose prior to his fatal
Illness. Mr. McCumber has been obliged
when In a pinch to fall back on the
friendship and skill of Senator James E.
Watson of Indiana. It was Senator Wat
son an 4 Mr. McKenzie who were able
to work' together. They know all the
secre :s of party organization and their
comtlned efforts overcame many dlf
ficul'les. Together thtey had worked
nigh; and day to bring about renomina
tlon of Senator McCumber. With Mr.
McKiazle eliminated from the North Da
kota equation, the results has been
thrown Into such serious doubt as to
cause Administration leaders to regard
Mr. McCumber's chances as very bad.
MANY MISTAKES
MADE IN’ CAMPAIGN.
Many mistakes hare been made by the
Senator In his campaign for renomlna
tion. He declined the aid of an active
and vigorous organization known as the
I. V. A.—lndependent Voters’ Associa
tion—for fear of alienating support of
non-partisan league adherents. That
group had been triumphant in the fight
to recall Frazier from the governorship
and was ready to fight tooth and nail for
McCumber. He had a clear majority In
It, yet he hesitated to grasp the bnll of
radicalism by the horns and failed to
obtain an I. V. A indorsement.
The death of former Senator Asle J.
Gronna, prospective contestant for the
nomination, has proved to have been a
liability to the McCumber force# In
stead of an asset. Much of the Gronna
support has gone over to Frazier, it is
said. It was McKenzie who brought
about the defeat of Gronna in the Re
publics primaries of 1920. Conservative
leaders never have forgotten that when
they became alarmed over the possible
defeat of Gronna, a satellite of La Foll
ette, preferring him to a non-partisan
leaguer, it was McKenzie who reassured
them with the words:
“I’ll send you a better Republican than
Gronna ev.-r was.” He sent Dr. Edwin
F. Ladd, a man who bore the Non-
Partisan League label, but who has
voted with the Administration far oftener
than has La Follette, and therefore
more frequently than Gronna might have
been expected to do.
ORMSBY M’HARO
WEAKENS M C EMBER.
The vote* which will go to Ormsby
McHarg, the third candidate in the
North Dakota field, are expected to
weaken the McCumber cause. Although
many unkind things are said and others
suggested about the McHarg candidacy,
the simple fact confronting Republican
leaders Is that while he will run a bad
third, a compilation of the votes might
show that he took from McCumber
enough ballots to give Senator Reed
Smoot of I’tab the chairmanship of the
Senate Finance Committee and make
“Bob” La Follette. the ranking member
of that body, as such, a rightful conferee
on Administration tariff and revenue
legislation. Defeat of McCumber would
force. It is predicted, the Republican
leaders to read La Follette out of the
party without waiting for him to become
the nominee of the Socialists for the
presidency In 1924.—Copyright, 1922, by

Squelch, Says Usherette
Seldom Necessary to Call Porter to Show
Mashers Way Out of Theater.
By NORA KAY.
“No man can fall in love with a post,”
declared Judge Frank J. Lahr, In a recent
discourse on men and their weaknesses.
And neither can the most ardent Lo
thario carry on a flirtation with a young
lady who replies to his gallant remarks
with an Impersonal “Where do you wish
to sit, please?”
Which Is the surest method of dis
couraging the men who wander into the
picture shows and theaters, minus a
feminine companion, and seek to make a
date with the attractice girl ushers, or
“usherettes,* or whatever the name of
the yc/ung ladies, variously arrayed In
costumes ranging from nifty knicker
bockers to full skirts, presiding over the
aisles In several Indianapolis theaters
and picture shows, according to one of
the "usherettes.”
"Are you often annoyed by men who
try to get flirtatious?” she was asked.
“Well, I've gotten so used to It I
don’t’ notice them much any more,” the
“usherette” declared. "Os course, once
in a while we get one who has had too
much soda-pop, at some other beverage,
to know when he is snubbed, and who
persists in hanging around until we
have to report him to the manager."
“And what does the manager do to
him?” persisted the Interested Inquirer,
“Sometimes all he needs to do Is to
look at him to make him git down and
look as innocent as Charlie Chaplin does

when he Is trying to get away with a
free lunch. Once in a while, however,
when they’ve had too much to know
what’s the matter with them, the man
ager has to send for the porter, and
then the masher leaves whether he wants
to or not.”
"We don’t have many cases like that,
however. Most men have sense enough
to see when they are making a nuisance
of themselves, even if we can’t tell them
so. You see it is one of the rules of the
theater that we must treat all patrons
courteously, no matter how much we
want to tell them what we really think
about them, but I’ve found that the best
way to discourage them is to reply to
their would-be bright remarks by Just
asking them where they want to sit and
if that doesn't quiet them I just lead the
way down the aisle to a seat, leave them
standing beside It, and go on about my
work. That’s usually all the ‘taking
down’ most of them need.”
“And Just what do you mean by them —
the flirtatious ones? Are they young
men or old ones?” the questioner asked.
"All ages,” declared the usherette, “but
the older ones are harder to squelch."
