There is reason Tor believing that the
recent big advance in General Motors
is not only the result OF financial plans
calling for a splitting mp OF the shares
and increase in the dividend rate. but
is connected with negotiations which
may result in General Motors taking
over the Ford Company. II any such

motor field all the way from the ear

mentioned in connection with the
place OF United States senator. But
some OF mis- friends now say he had
rather seek the gOvernorship. They
sally that he was the victim OF some
bitter newspaper attacks during his
administration and that he would
look on his reelection as a vindica-
ton. Just how mucn feeling Mr.
RalstOn may have on this question
Is not known but anyhow il is in line
with a statement MADE more than
two months ago BY a prominent
Indiana democrat. AT that time he
said the democratic ticket would
line up in part As follows: Ralston
for governor. Thomas r. Marshall.
vice president, for United States
senator and Frederick VanNuys.
democratic state chairman for at
torney general.
THAT is the way IL will shape up
at the finish" said this democrat.
That plan may not be entirely sat
isfactory to Ralston and il may not
please NanNuys but nevertheless
that is what it will be"
This fits in very well with the
word that has come from Washing
ton recently that nothing would suit
the vice president better than to
round out his public service with a
term in the United States senate.
There have been a number Of indi-
cations recently that the vice presi-
dent was keeping his eye on the or

later Il is said were taken 70 re-
publican state committee head
quarters. In tbis speech Toner dis
cussed the record Of Indiana in the
war and referred particularly TO the
brilliant achievements Of the COVER
nor. When these copies appeared
there was much talk % the effect
that Goodrich would back Toner in
the governorship contest. But this
opinion was by no means unanim-
Gus. A good many who pretend 20
be in the know says that McCray is
the logical candidate for the cover
norship and that all OF the power OF
the organization including the gov
ernOr will ultimately be found be-
hind McCray.
There has been some indication
that the governorship contest might
become a tight between the south
half OF the state and the north half.
IL IS believed that a development OF
this kind would not be Objectionable
TO Bush because northern Indiana
probably viii have three candidates
-McCray, Toner and Jackson
while up 70 this time Bush is the
only candidate from the south half.
Bush In his Salem speech made a
reference in this connection. He said
the governor should come from the
southern part OF the state once in "a
century at least There has been a
hint that II necessary some other
candidate might be put into the race
in the south end of the state 20 dis
sipate any strength that Bush
might gather on the Reogra pbical
issue. There has been no talk

was getting into the race for that
purpose.
Say jackson VIII Suffer.
Friends OF McCray are saying that
Edward Jackson will suffer in his
race because he is running as a can

district. the same district in which
McCray lives. They point out that

the City took over the bridge 1t turned the entire work over to MT. w. H. Burr, one of the greatest en- gineers in the world. MT. Burr Is man of high reputation, and unques- toned integrity. He was a member of the Panama Canal Commission ap- pointed by President Roosevelt Under his personal supervision the Grand Street Bridge was carried to completion. It was a work of great magnitude and difficulty, and 1t had to be built at a time when labor and materials were scarce and high. The whole case narrews to this. If the City wins in the courts Its claim that t was entitled te have the bridge just as the contract provided, then, making due allowance for the times and circumstances, 1t will be found that a. safe. appropriate, and much needed brdge has been built in the provoking obstacles at a reasonable cost. And instead of 1t being bridge without an approach 1t will be seen that through this bridge the Railroad Company will be forced to eliminate the Housatonic Grade Crossings and bring to a close the tragic record of injury, suffering and death which has long tormented this community.

There are several tows in Bridgeport halbor waiting for the storm to blow over. The captalns report that the waves are danger ously high and that 1t is too risky to proceed in the face of the wind and sea.
