They will look upon the vote he gets in the primary as an in- dex of the old progressive sentiment still prevailing in the republican party in this state. The general feeling among the republican leaders is that it will not be possible to start any movement within the party such as that of 1912. Senator Arthur Day of Cleveland, another candidate for the republican nomination for governor, has chal- lenged Knight to a debate of the is- sues of the campaign, which probably will be accepted, as the congressman has mever been known to run away from a fight. The chief contention probably will be as to the Soldier bonus, Senator Day being the author of the O bonus law, and Mr. Knight being on record as opposed to the soldicrs’ bonus principle. - Col. Thompson Is Careful. Col. Carmi Thompson. candidate for the republican nomination for gov- ernor, is preserving good nature in his campaign work and refuses to criticize any of his opponents or to comment upon the principles of their campaign platforms as announced by theni. * OF course, he will not debate with any of them.

Thatcher to Seek Fifth. Maurice H. Thatcher, city depart- mental counsel in Louisville and_for- merly governor of the Panama Canal Zone during the Taft administration, is the latest declared candidate for the seat of Charles F. Ogden of the fitth (Loulsville) district, who has declined to run again. Kendrick R. Lewls, an attorney, is the only an- nounced democratic candidate, though it 1s expected that James H. Rich- mond, who made the race two vears ago, will file his declaration. One of the developments in the unsettled conditions surrounding the race in the fifth is the revival of the boom ! for Swagar Sherley, former chairman of the appropriations committee, but the latter has not let it be known whether he can be induced to enter the lists. Friends of Herman D. New- comb, who was defeated for the demo- cratic nomination by Mr. Sherley in 1910 and who served one term as state senator, also are urging him as available congressional timber. Dr. Ben L. Bruner, who was de- feated for United States senator by A. O. Stanley in 1918, also has announced his candldacy for the republican nom- ination here, and it may take a pri- mary for him and Thatcher to run it out. The race in the fifth district will largely be based on the record of the national administration, and_demo- crats are hopeful of victory, because they feel that the nation-wide indus- trial depression will redound to their advantage. Ben Johnson of the fourth district, who has had no democratic opposi- tion for years, will have a republican opponent, however, the republicans several days ago having chosen J. E. Isaacs of Lebanon as their nominee. Mr. Isaacs is assistant state banking commissioner. No opposition In either party has been forthcoming as yet for Alben W. Barkley of the first, David H. Kinche- loe of the second, Arthur B. Rouse of the sixth, J. Campbell Cantrill of the seventh or Ralph H. Gilbert of the eighth district, although C. G. Jef- fries of Columbia may make the race iagainst Gilbert as an Independent. Robert Y. Thomas, jr.. of the third district has no opposition for the democratic nomination. Laurence B. Finn, former state railroad commis- sioner, evidently found little response to his speeches In favor of gover: ment ownership of railroads, and de- cided not to make the race. W. O.

Trumbo Snedegar of Bath county, who has been the nominee on other occasions, is conceded to have the call on the republican nomination.

The latest proposed candidate for governor is Representa- tive Rouse of Covington, who has not made any announcement as to his preferences in the matter. GET $3,000 PAY ROLL.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 24— Democrgts got an early start in their campalgn when Samuel M. Ralston, |democratic nominee for United States senator, made a political speeech at Madison this week, on the occasion of the meeting of the democratic edi- tors. In his speech Mr. Ralston laid Breat stress on state issues, and particularly on the democratic plat- torm pledge to ®repeal the present state tax law. He spoke of the heavy burdens of the taxpayers and sald the democratic party would en- act a fair and just law. Mr. Ralston's speech goes to con- firm predictions that the democrats throughout their campaign will give much attention to state issues and to what they call the failures of the present McCray administration and the preceding administration of James P. Goodrich as governor. It was sald this weéek that the democrats also wiil have a good deal to say about the present Congress. It appears they. will attack the Congress spe- cifically rather than President Hard- Ing. ~Mr. Ralston In his speech made a reference or two to his opponent, Albert J. Beveridge, and to the lat- ter's failure to say anything about the accomplishments of the Washing- ton peace couferemce. Denles an Agreement. . Relative to the matter of state issues, it appears that Gov. McCray was in the east last week when the word came out of Washington that it was the disposition of the Indiang republicans, then in conforence there, to put the soft pedal on state issues. It is said the governor was in touch with certain Indiana ®epublicans soon after this report spread. Lawrence Lyons, republican state chairman, on his return from Washington said there had been no agreement to go lightly on state issues." Others who were in touch with the Washington situation said there was no decision on this phase of the cam- paign plans, but that Senator Watson in his address to the Indiana republi- cans said that there should be an effort to inform the people of Indiana just what Congress has done. Beveridge Gives Reception. Albert J. Beveridge, republican nominee for United States senator, guve three receptions at his home in Indianapolis this week—one for In- dianapolis candidates and the others for members -of the Indianapolis re- publican organization. The plan adopted by Mr. Beverldge for pro- moting his acquaintance with local workers s similar to that employed by Mayor Lew Shank when he was a candidate last fall. ~Mr. Shank gave a number of receptions on the large lawn at his home. The fact that Mr. Beveridge this week in his speech at the international meeting of the Kiwanis clubs at Toronto covered much the same ground that he cov- ered In his primary campaign led some of the political wiseacres to say that Mr. Beveridge in his cam- paign_speeches this summer and fall in Indiana will not depart far from the lines laid down in the primary campaign. Charles A Greathouse, democratic national committeeman for Indiana has appointed J. E. Prederick of Kokomo and Mrs. Willlam L. Elder of Indianapolis chairmen of the finance committes of the .democratic national committee for Indiana. Mrs. Elder and her husband are close friends of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall.

TACOMA, Wash., June 24.—Normally one of the most progressive states, as shown by elections since 1912, Wash- ington this year is just as strongly pro- gressive, but with former members of the old guard holding the reins in both republican and democratie parties. In 1907, Washington adopted the di- rect primary. In 1912 women of the state voted.” Since 1907 there has been w4 new crop of voters who have grown up under the direct primary system. rarty organizations have suffered.
