Neal Called "Double-dealer"
The Republican postofice row at
Hartford City in the Eleventh District
is a heavy burden for Edwin NJ. Lee
Republican State Chairman II is the
hottest postoffice fight that the Re
publicans have known this year al,
though postoffice troubles are known
TO be a great source OF dissatisfaction
In every district in the state.
The charges made by Henry Geisler
of Hartford City that Elan Neal. as
dispenser Of patronage for Senator
Beveridge In the Eleventh District.

postoffice and then deliberately sold

minds 10 support him. knowing that
Neal will. in the event OF Beveridge's
reelection. continue 10 be the dis

John l.. Thompson. of Gas City lie
is the father-in-law of Meals daugh-
ter, and Neal would have whip in
each hand should Thompson be sue
cessful. II was 10 gain the congress
sional nomination for Thompson that
Neal is said TO have switched his sup
port in the postoffics fight from Geisler
TO Johnson.

that every Republican elected on the
state ticket two years ago and now
Occupying office in the state house
