INDIANAPOLIS. Nov 13. The
recent republican victory in Indiana
already Is beginning 20 show results
that are not felished by those who
have tust been responsible for the
victory. Already the underground
republican pathways are buzziug
with suggested candidates for state
and federal Office two years hence
and the old iealousies that have kept
the party split In Indiana for years
seem about 20 be aroused again in
all their former violence Already
the prophets are discussing the gov
crnorship race two years from now
and already hard feeling has arisen
in connection with this situation

tire. OF course may develop guber-
material possibilities. but that is un-
likely. except that Edgar d. Bush.
The present Lieutenant governor. Is
expected 20 be candidate when the
proper time comes.
The real fights viii occur between
candidates much stronger than he.
For instance. il is commonly
known fact that Edgar G. Toner Of
Anderson. formerly progressive
state chairman. is being groomed for
governor. and has enlisted support
OF the leaders Of one part Of the
republican party. Another part OF
the party however. will oppose
Toner'S candidacy bitterly. Then
there is Warren T. McCray OF Kent
land. whom James p Goodrich de-
feated for the nomination two years
ago. IL seems almost certain that
McCray again will be a candidate
Because Of his former race. there
are many republicans who would
support him, but there are many
others who will attempt 10 defeat
him in order that their particular
clique may rule the party machin-
cry.

as being in a receptive mood. at
least, for the governOrship. is John

others mentioned. VIII II. Hays. re-
publican national chairman. often
has been mentioned as a possible
contender for governorship honors
