There seems to be feeling against elect
ing a second senator from Indianapolis, and
this operates against any chance Beyer-
idge otherwise might have, The bulk Of
the legislative vote which elects senator
comes from the northern part of the state,
and IL 1t were not that this vote is divided
between Taylor, Hanley and Steele, would
control the caucus. 1t cannot be united
upon either of the three. and that increases
Posey's chances. II Posey. on the other

strength Will go to Hanley. but Posey and
Hanley combined cannot control. II Tay-

beneficiary largely. but he must draw
strength from the central and southern
portions to win. II Steele retires his sup

Hanley in about equal portions. So 1t
will be seen the question is q complicated
one, but as 1t stands the chances are that
Steele and Posey will lead the others.

Major Steele has announced himself as
candidate and has actively entered upon
the work of securing support. The major

is astute politician, and knows all the
ms and outs OF politics. As a member of
Congress he has been more fortunate than
any other Indianian In securing places under
the government for his constituents He
has also done much 10 forward the material
interests of the state.
Governor Mount has declared that he
would not be candidate; that the people
elected him governor. and he desired TO
serve them as such. but he also saws if the
senatorshi2 was handed him he could not
well refuse il. General Wallace also saws
he would not refuse. but will not ask for

In canvassing the situation but one thing
is certain as yet, and that Is no one of the
candidates overtops the others. TavIor
will have the support of the northeastern
part of the state, Hanley of the northwest
ern Posey of the southeastern and Steele
of the gas belt. Beveridge will get some
of the members from this county and one
here and there from other parts of the
state Beveridge is the only one who has
a boom engineered, by a newspaper and
his boom is mainly confined to the News
of this city. 1t is not only possible but
it is probable, that the caucus will not be
able to agree upon any of those who are
openly candidates. In that case the
chances are they win turn to Mount al

DR. Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
The editorial in Mondays Star which
maintains Mr.. Baleys undoubted right t
indulge in his peculiar style Of appare
gives his residence as Gainesville instead
of Gainesville. The error is certainly par
donable in view of the natural association
of Mr.. Bailey's old-fashioned coat with TIL,
old coat of the defunct Grimes, that goct
cd man. of the poem.
Leader Bailey is not quite dead yet
so the old rhyme must DE changed:
Bailey is coming. that good young man.
We soon shall see him more
Again he wear that old black coat,

Why He Refused to Tell the Names q
His HRaeRs

HIo A0&Gf0.
In case OF hazing at the Naval
Academy recently reported to the Navy
Department 1t was shown that one Of the
victims of ths practice advanced a novel
excuse for his refusal to reveal the names
Of his tormentors. He admitted when
questioned that he had STOOD on his head
and done other ridiculous things by the
order of other cadets. but that he must de-
cline to tell the names Of the runners"
on the ground that his answer might tend
to incriminate himself. When asked how
he could possibly incriminate himself in
the matter ne replied, Why, by showing
that 1 had failed to report a breach of the
rules against hazing.' In the absence of
direct evidence against the alleged offend
ers tn department was unable to do any
thing in the matter.

The Price of Star Pointer.

John Splan, the famous reinsman, is sur
prised at the price that Star Pointer
brought and thinks that the first light har-
ness horse to beat two minutes should have
had at least $4,000 tackled onto the pur-
chase money. Spain, in commenting upon
the sale of the horse. says:
Aside from Pointers extreme speed
you must not overlook the fact that
the bay is the best advertised animal on
earth; which adds to his value. For rea-
sons that are obvious it was plain that
none Of the men who breed for amusement
We're going to buy Pointer. That being the
case. it was patent that some man in mer-
camille life would buy the horse for his
commercial value. In other words, the
PAGER would become living advertisement
OF course, it is Impossible to estimate on
the basis of dollars and cents, just what
such advertising is worth, but its value is
great
