MANY SENATORS
GAIN Presidency
Harding Not First Of Them to
Reach White House, Says
Newton N. Clark.
To the Editor of The Timss'

To the Editor of The Timesi
In the March 4 edition of The
Times q boxed. s-point. ieadsd
statement that Mr.. Harding 10 the
nrst United States Senator ever
elected President of the United
States contains an error which en-
phasixss the Implication that Sen
ators have slim chance Of reaching
the White House. As such . con-
clusion might discourage aspiring
young men who are now Senators
or who may become Senators I will
correct the error and state what re-
search reveals a. to Senators De-
coming Prssidenta
All of US out In Indiana know
that Benjamin Harrison was not
|ssnator-eiect whsn, he was elected
to tho Presidency. He served . full
term as United States Senator from
Indiana from 1881 to 1887 and was
elected President In 1858.
James A. Garfield was elected to
the Senate In January. 1850. and
elected to the Presidency in Novem-
ber. 1850. before taking his seat In
the Senate.
As The Times referred to Harrison
the Inference IL logical that II
meant that President Harding is the
only Senator ever elected President
and Benjamin Harrison the only
other who had been q Senator or
elected Senator and afterward elect
cd Presidont.
But here's the list:
James Monroe was q United States
Senator. 17s0-s4: President, 1878
John Quincy Adams. United States
Senator, 1So3-os; President 1859.
Andrew jackson. United States
Senator. 17s7-ss; 1885: President
1s2s-s3.
Martin Van Buren,, United States
Senator, 1s21-2s; President, 1s37-4L
William Henry Harrison, United
States Senator. 1858; President.
1841. ..
John Tyler. United States Senator.
1876; President, 1915.
Senator. 1914; President, 1S53-57.
James Buchanan. United States
Senator, 1833-45; President, 1S57-61.
Andrew Johnson. United States
Senator. 185762; President. 1s65-69.
Again United States Senator in 1875.
James A. Garfield. United States
Senator-elect, January. 1880; elected
President, November, 1880.
Benjamin Harrison, United States
Senator. 1ss1-s7; President, 1Sss-s:.
Lincoln's race against Stephen A.
Douglas for the United States SEN
ate in 1883 brought Lincoln into such
prominence that he was nominated
by the Republicans in 1860 and elect
ed to the Presidency that year and
again elected in 1854.
So United States Senators, past,
present and future. need not carry
q rabbits foot to remove an evil
hoodoo from their path to the White
House.

Attorney Hodge

HER INNOCENCE
STATE SECURES WITNESSES TO
WHOM MRS. DIXON, 1T is AL
LEGGED TALKED OF LOVE
FOR TWO MEN.

For more than four hours assistant
county attorney John l.. Hodge ques-
tened Mrs. Charles Dixon this morn
inS in an effort to ascertain the true
motive Of the crime in which Newt
Ashcraft is alleged to have murdered
her husband Wednesday night, and
also whether or not Mrs. Dixon was
the woman who had been seen in the
car the night of the tragedy. Mrs.
Dixon was arrested yesterday after
noon and lodged in the county Jail
charged with being an accomplice in
the crime.
Through the entire period of the
grilling, the defendant swore again
and again that she was not in the
automobile the night of the killing.

the time. She further maintained that
she knew Of no motive for the killing,
and stated that she loved her hus-
band dearly" She appeared very
nervous during the questioning but

The state has found a witness who
states that while he was at the home
Of the DiXon's some time ago tuning
a piano Mrs. Dixon had asked him
as to whether 1t was wrong for a
woman. although married, TO love two
men. The piano tuner states that
he replied that it was up to the par
ties concerned and their business, but
suggested that Mrs. Dixon be careful
Of her little boy. Mrs. Dixon is then
alleged to have told the piano tuner
Of her relations with both her husband
and another sweetheart, who is be-
lcvcd TO have been Ashcrnft.
Evidence has been found which al
lcges that Mr.. Dixon. who was a
brakeman on the Rock Island railroad
was away from home every other
night, and that often during his alb
scence Mrs. Dixon participated in au-
tomobile rides in company with Ash
craft. At times. when Dixon was at
home, the three people. Dixon, his
wife and Ashcraft would go riding.
