PREDICTION MADE AS
TO REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN

on election day. He distributed TWEEN
ty thousand campaign buttons over the
district bearing the Inscription Before
Ten Club" They were worn all over
the district, and they attracted much
favorable comment. Hays had many
other original ideas which he used in
that campaign too, and a result his
district made good showing at the
election last fall. in spite of the Reno
cratic landslide.
Hays has never been a fractional Re-
publican. He has worked under James
P. Goodrich as state chairman and un-
der Edwin NJ. Lee a estate chairman
He has given everybody fair deal and
has never been lined up under any fac
tional banner. He Is in a position to
take hold of a state campaign under
these circumstances and pay no atten-
ton to any faction or element of the
party. This is regarded as one of his
greatest elements of strength, becaus e
Republicans all over the state are say
ing that the first thing for the party to
do is to get rid of factionalism.
| good many Republicans are saying
that with a candidate like Hugh TIL
Miller. of Columbus, for Governor and
a state chairma Mike VIII H. Hays, the
Republicans would have a strong or
ganization and a strong ticket with
which to go before the people. Miller
has never been identified with any ele-
ment of the party, and this would make
| him a good teammate for Hays.
Mr.. New is an experienced politician
He knows the game thoroughly and hs
has the respect of everybody. There i,
no faction of the party that could takt
any exceptions to his selection as stat,
chairman, for he has been the friend t
every body and the enemy of nobody. IL
the years that he has served as Repub
lican national committee man he ha
obtained a broad view of the politica
field and has been recognized one o
ten nationa Headers of the party. H
has served the party for years and ha
never held office. In fact he has refus
ed Office many times when he coul,
have had it. He turned down an offe
of a place in President Roosevelt

TIMES BUREAU,

indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 6.--There
seems to be good basis for the predic-
ton that the next Republican state
chairman viii be either Harry S. New
of this city, or Will. III. Hays, of Sulli-
van. While there has not been much
talk along this line recently, 1t has
opened up to some extent in the last
rev days, and these two names are
heard now more than any others. One
Republican who keeps pretty close
track of thinks said that he believed
this would be the case, and he said
that his understanding of the mater
was that Edwin NJ. Lee the present
state chairman, might not make a very
energetic campaign for the place from
now on, although he would not drop
out as candidate for the place This
man said he based the opinion on the
report that Lee was to get a good gov
eminent position that would take him
out of the race. However. Lee is not

The Evening Chit-Chat

What would you do if you were go

show his love for you? This young
man is very nice, always treats me very
courteously and tells the young men In

| quote the above letter because it
describes a certain kind of cad which,
is the man who never wants to admit
to one girl that he is in love with an
other.
This creature with a disagreeable
kind of cunning. evidently realizes
what is, to certain extent, true
that the knowledge that is in love
with one woman will make him less
interesting to the other members of
the opposite sex. And so, whenever
he goes goes among other women. he
either keeps still about his love or
openly belittles it as this one does.
To one girl he cynically sings the
praises of bachelorhood.
To another he insists that there is
really nothing between him and the
women in the case

car shortage of serious propor-
ton is threatened if the idle car sur
plus continues to decrease at the same
rate as in the two weeks ended Oct. 25.
Idle box cars in the United States
and Canada On that date, according to
the fortnightly bulletin of the Ameri-
can Railway association, numbered
only 7,166, a decrease of 1921 in two
weeks and the smallest surplus in two
years. The shortage of box cars on
Oct. 25 was more than twice the sur.
plus. The shortage amounted to IA.
943 cars, an increase of 1853 in two
weeks
Every class of cars (fiat cars ex
cepted) shows a decided increase ir
the number of idle cars. The largest
decrease is shown in coal cars, thai
class of car decreasing from 1854:
cars on Oct %, decrease of 7.39,
cars. During the same period DO,
cars show a decrease of 5.206 cars ant
