Don CAMERON is the choice of the Indiana
Republican Stats committee for chairman of
the National Republican committee. The
Cameronian odor in national politics is not
savory. This selection. of Indiana Radicals
drifts into suspicion OF aces and other
choice cards of the political pack, secreted
in sleeves and boot legs, for use in case OF
another swindls being necessary next year.
If Don Cameron can not play them at the
critical moment he is wonderfully overrated,
and Radicalism has no use for him beyond
such emergencies.
