6 BEVERIDGE TAKES OWN RACE IN HAND Sensation in Indiana Politics Developed by Lawn Meet- ings at Residence. Special Dispatch to The Star. INDIANAFOL Ind., July 1.—Po- litical meetings that have been held on the lawn at the Washington boule- vard home of Albert J. Beveridge have supplied what might be called | the political sensation of the la.u! week. 2 These meetings have given Mr. Be eridge the opportunity to meet per- sonally the members of the republl- can state committec as well as lesser organization men in Indianapolls and, his friends believe, have been a great «id to him in his race for the United States Senate. One republican ex- plained that Mr. Beveridge by hold- ing these meetings had hit his stride. The atmosphore of the meetings was ; that Mr. Beveridge will be te master of his own campaign. Speakers who | appeared at the last meeting explain- #d that party platforms count for lit- that it is the cundidates who really count, and Mr. Heveridge him- self said that when the time came he would tell what the parly stands for. Further indication of independent ac- tion is the fact that the republican state committee has only recently voted to assign a state candidate to cach congressional district fo work with the district chatrman. It is said that this idea originated among the close friends of Mr. Beveridge. Committee to Be Chosen. The republican statc committee has | not yet selected an executive commit- tee. but it is said that such a com- mittee will be made up of five men and five women. This decision has been reached since Lawrence Lyons. republican state chairman, returned | l from Washingto: The democratic state committee held a meeting this week to discuss plans for the campaign. Special attentio it was said, is to be given to organi- zation work for the next six or eight weeks, although there may be some speech-making. Democrats talked as if they ex- pected to keep the republicans on the defensive throughout the campaign, and Samuel M. Ralston. democratic nominee for United States senator whose term as governor ended about mix years ago. is said to be anxlous to get into the campalgn and discuss state issues. At the Beveridge lawn meetings during the last week there have been references to state lssues. nd various speakers said the present repu an state administration would be defended. Gov. McCray is anxious thai there be emphasis on | ihe state administration, as he be- lieves it Is entitled to a prominent place in the campaign plans of the republicans. It is reported in some quarters that if the state administra- tion does not recelve satisfactory at tion in the regular order of af- s as conducted by the state com- tee. an independent movement he organized by the governor his friends to take care of it. Third District Possibiltty. Evan F. Stotsenburg of New Albany is talked of as the democratic cand! date for Congress in the third dis irict to fill the vacancy in the candl- dacy caused by the death of John W. Ewing. Mr. Stotsenburg formerly was attorney general of the state. Commissioners conducting a re- count of the ballots cast in Indian- in the recent state-wide pri- have found that in several pre- cincts sample ballots. ‘“slates” and Yartous other kinds of irregular bal- lots were voted and counted by the canvassing boards of the precincts.

GOVERNOR BATTLE Advanced Time for Special Session on Bonus Helpful to Senator Day. Special Dispatch to The Star. COLUMBUS, Onio, July 1.—Advance- ment of the legislative special ses- sion date from July 17 to July 3 has helped the candidacy of Senator Ar- thur Day for the republican nomina- tion for governor. Senator Day is the author of the bonus act and a world war service man. He must look for his support latgely to the ranks of war veterans, and the change in the date of the For the purpose of the change is to make it possible that the people may vote on the further amendment of the constitution necessary to issue the additional $10,000,000 in state bond to complete the payment of ail a proved applications for the bonus— the $25.000,000 previously issued not being sufficient—at the primary elec- tion, instead of the regular election in November, which would have cuused the unpaid applications to be de- layed three months. Administration Praised. In his proclamation calling the spe- cial session, Gov. Davis has taken occasion to praise the reorganized state administration, the act author- izing which caused no littie factional troubles for the party a year ago— his appcintments coming to the sen- ate in the special session for con- firmation. It was on the senate side that stubborn republican opposition to the reorganization measure de- veloped last vear, and it is foared by some of the republican leaders here that the governor's reference to the matter ih hiz message will act as a challenge to the opposing menators and draw opposition from them when As Representative C. L. Knight, the pronounced anti-administration can- jdidate for the nomination for gov- ernor. gets into the swing of hig campaign, there is more and more discussion a& to how much of the progressive republican element is go- timg | Iican principles, ., i REFUSES TO QU SENATORUL RACE Request of Maryland G. 0. P. Meeting Based on Falsi- ties, Says France. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, July L—Chief interest in republican circles this week cen- tered on the meeting called by Col D. John Markey of Frederick county at Braddock Heights on Wednesday. The meeting adopted resolutions call- ing upon Senator Joseph Irvin France to withdraw as a candidate for re- nomination and authorized , Col. Markey, who had been made chair- man, to name a committee composed of one 'representative from each county and four from ‘Baltimore city to_select another candidate. fle there was no discusston of candidates at the conference, it was whispered privately that the con- Bensus of opinion of the delegates was that John W, Garrett is the man most favored for the nomination. ‘To Senator France there were two general objections: First, alleged repudiation of repub- improper and mis. representative opposition to the arm: conference treaties and association with and encouragement of extremist radicals. Second, alleged statements by Sen: ator France, accepted by the confer: ence as facts, that he would spend $160,000 in the prima: contest and as much again in the general elec- tion—these alleged statements being treated as threats of debauchery of the electorate. ‘Western Opposition. While 2 number of G. O. P. leaders of Frederick and other western Maryland counties attended the con ference, leaders of other sections, in cluding Baltimore, were not in at- tendance. Later Senator France said: “l was convinced that the great majority of the republicans and, in fact, the great majority of the peo- ple of Maryland stood for the princi- ples of Americanism for which I tand and which I have maMe the issue in this campaign, The meeting at Braddock Heights adds to my con- viction, and I am stronger than ever in my conclusions. “The meeting was called after a vigorous campalgn of misrepresenta- tion and misstatement of my work and record, and that they were able to get only 140 men and women to attend was surprising and pleasing to me. I had thought there might have been 1,000 persons in Maryland who would not approve my campaign platform, and I have no doubt that some of the men and women attend- Ing the conference were misled. "Of course, there is nothing to the statement that | had said T would put $100,000 into the campaign. never sald that and never thought of it. The conference has affected my determination to run, and I am con- vinced more than ever that 1 will be re-€lected to the Sei % Ritchie-Smith Conmflict. The democratic party Is destined to go through a fight between the Ritchie and Smith factions for party control. This is the opinion of men in touch with party affairs, following Gov. Ritchie’s action in dismissing Br. J. Hubert Wade from his position as member and treasurer of the state board of prison control. That Hugh A. McMullen of Freder- ick county is the choice of the Smith faction. with former Representative Charles P. Coady held in the back- grourd, is a pretty well known fact among politiclans, but uniess Ritchie gets behind McMullen the outlook is not very encouraging for the Freder- ick county man. While former Rep- resentative David J. Lewls, also of Frederick, says that he is in the race fo stay, irrespective of who enters the field, it 18 whispered that'he can be made to withdraw in favor of Mc- Maullen when the proper time arrives and sufficfent pressure is brought to bear. State Senator Norris, the only cther candidate, i3 looked upon as having the indorsement of Gov. Ritchie and has announced that he ig in the fight to a finish.

POINDEXTER T0 TAKE OVER OWN CAMPAIGN Special Dispatch to The Star. TACOMA, Wash., July 1.—With the date for the first filings of the pri- mary elections just two weeks awa senatorial and congressional politics has taken on a new activity. Senator Poindexter has named Frank Hull of Seattle as his campaign manager, and is expected in_the state July 15. to take personal charge of the cam- paign. Poindexter supporters are forming Poindexter clubs in the larger counties preparing to head off the rapldly growing boom for Clark Sav- idge for senator. The democrats in the firat congre: sional district have brought out Su- perior Court Judge M. W. French of Kitsap county s a candldate for ongress. Richard Seely Jones of attle is also spoken of as a pos- sible American Legion candidate on the democratic ticket.

The democratic organization has no office- hoMers to assess If it wanted to and has perforce to take what its finance committee can raise and candidates contribute. Some of the old-line politicians, ac- customed to =o after the money in as large sums as pobssible. are wondering how the cash will be secured. but Mr. Pinchot seems to be confident of sue- cess. Another out-of-the-ozdinary plan for the campalgn, and this is true of both parties as well, is that the candidates will make automobile tours into every county. It might be said they propose to go Into each of the more than 1,500 towriships and the 950 boroughs as well tas the forty cities into which Pennsyl- vania is divided. d Invade New Areas.
