Beginning Aug. l an assessment of

Business Men to SupporI
indianapolis
Author.

Indianapolis, March Z. - y move
ment has been started here among
leading Republican business men look
ing to the nomination of Rep
resentative Booth Harrington for
mayor. The men who are back
of the movement say they have been
attracted to Harrington as much by
his legislative record as by the fact
that they believe Mayor BoOkwalter
is building up political machine and
that it will require a popular Republic
an candidate to carry the city this fall.
One of the advocates of Tarking
toms nomination said that the stand
which Harrington took against the
governor recently when the executive
had a bill in the legislature and Tar
kingtOn opposed it showed that the au-
thor is man of his own head and
would be mayor if elected to that po-
sition. TarkingtOn refuses to say
whether or not be would accept a NOM
ination.
