HENRY Lane WILSON
SAYS new DESERVES
RETURN TO SENATE


INDIANAPOLIS, April 4.-Compar-
ing the qualifications of Senator Har.
ry s. New and Albert ]. Beveridge, |
candidates for the Republican nomin-
alton for United States senator, Henry
Lane Wilson, formerly United States
minister to Mexico, in a letter to r.
NJ Robson of McCordsville, praises
the record OF Senator New and states
that, in his opinion, Mr.. New is de-
serving of a second term in the SEN
ate because of his first term of faith
full service.
After asking what is Mr.. Beveridge's
attitude on the peace treaties negotiat-
ed by the Washington conference and
whether 1--WE are to infer from his
silence that he is not in agreement
with the Harding administration" Mr..
Wilson expresses his view by saying
that we are in the midst of critical
moments and asking:
is 1t not better to hold fast to that
which we have and which we know to
be safe, rather than to launch into
unknown seas at the bidding of
strange captain who rarely makes an
announcement of political loyalty un-
accompanied by a qualification OF in
dependence?"
Referring to certain well defined
reasons" why Senator New should be
returned to the senate, Mr.. Wilson
says:
For his services rendered to the
agricultural interests of the United
States, and, incidentally, of course, to
the agricultural interests of Indiana.
These services are eloquently recog-
nized by Senator Capper. the head Of
the group actively espousing the in
terests OF agricultural interests in the
senate. Senator New has not only
voted for all farm measures, but he
has worked actively and necessarily
10. bring about their enactmnt into
law.
Services to Soldiers
For his services to the soldiers of
the late war. AS every Indiana soldier
knows, during and after the war, Sem
ator New was unfagging in his devo-
ton to the interest and welfare of the
Indiana soldier. No complaint from a
soldier remained unanswered. No act
OF injustice was committed without his
protest. BY an overwhelming major
ity the soldiers of Indiana recognize
the measure Of their obligation to Sen
ator New. IL there are those who do
not they have imperfect1y studied the
record. Senator New, in common with
a great body of Republican senators,
recognizes the obligation of the coun-
try to make some substantial acknowl-
edgement of the services of our sol
oilers. He is willing to support any
measure which carries with it a pro
vision for raising the money to be paid
out.
Senator New Is entitled to the sup
port of the women of Indiana because
OF his unvarying support in the senate
of all measures securing the political
and civil equality of women. No meas.
ure offered in good faith and spon
sored by respectable woman's organ
izations has failed to receive his sup
port in the senate. Senator New
therefore, by all the laws of fair play
is entitled to the support of the women
voters of the state of Indiana.
Debt Of Gratitude
The business men and the laborine
man. and all the common interests Of
society in this state, owe a deep deb
of gratitude to Senator New for his
genuine interest in. and active support
OF. all measures aimed to promote the
general welfare, to enlarge the marke
for labor, to reduce public expendi
lures, to aid in the directing of ma
tional affairs into normal channels, tt
relieve as far as possible burden!
borne by business and commerce, t.
promote the growth, and protect tn,
practice of public morals and nonsec
tartan religion"
