INDORSES SENATOR NEW.
Mir. King made public a statement Of
Maj. Wilbur Ryman of Muncie, a veteran
Of the Spanish-American War, of which
Senator New also is a veteran, indorsing
the Senator's campaign. The statement
f1llnws:
n LAS a Republican, deeply concerned in
VAN matters affecting the fortunes of my
party and of the public as well, l have
noticed with interest the press reports
of the steps being taken by Senator
Harry s. New for the organization of
his campaign for denomination.
while IL is entirely proper for Senator
New and his friends TO anticipate any
possible contingency and to prepare
therefor it occurs to me that there ought
to be little ground, 4 any, for apprehen-
sion on their part of any serious oppO-
sitiOn to the Senator's denomination. Ger
tainly, before such opposition could be-
come formidable, it would be necessary
to convince the Republicans of Indiana
that Senator New had failed the State
and Nation in the efficient performance
of his duties during the first term "a
the United States Senate. That he has
not failed. but that, on the contrary, he
has been a most efficient public servant,
is known by every person who is in the
least familiar with the course of events
in the Senate during the five difficult
years which have elapsed since Senator
New was first elected.
Il was in Washington much Of the
time during the war and for a year
after its close and had ample opportunity
TO observe the activities which enga ged
members Of Congress during that time.

identified with the promotion of measures
calculated to push the war 70 an early
and victorious conclusion. AS a member

advice and assistance were constantly
being sought. Not only did he perform
all of the duties directly involved by
reason Of his membership IN the Senate.

interests OK his constituents in Indiana
with constant and unlimited zeal.
ACTIVE IN
WAR SERVICE
HE was constantly on the job either
in attendance at the sessions of the
Senate and OF his committees or at his
. desk in the Senate office, except upon
&such occasions as he was called to IN
diana OF elsewhere to speak for Liberty
Loan and Red Cross drives or such other
activities connected with the promotion
OF the war.
Senator New has demonstrated his
usefulness as a public man, in the most
practical and convincing way. be

keen business sense and sound Judge
nlsnt so vitality necessary at this time.
With this splendid record OF perform
ance to his credit aud with his well
known capacity for further service, 1t Is
scarcely conceivable that the people or
Indiana will deny themselves the
privilege Of returning Senator New TO
the United States Senate for second
term"
