ing around for the person who would be
most likely selected by the Governor To
many that Individual Is Arthur R. Robin
son, Judge of Superior Court, room 4.
The Judge unsuccessfully sought the
senatorial nomination when Senators New
and Watson staged their memorable con-
test in 1916 and since that time, especial
~ after he was discharged from the Army
with an enviable record, he has figured
largely in gossip connected with the Sen
ate.
Only recently Judge Robfnson let 1t be
known that he would not become Il
candidate to succeed himself on the bench
and this led to Considerable talk that
he was contemplating again seeking the
senatorial toga, even to the point OF
entering a triangular fight with Senator
New and Albert J. Bevertdge.
Judge Robinson has been a close
political and personal friend of Governor
McCray and there are many who believe
that should it devolve upon the Governor
to select a Senator his first choice would
be the judge.
In that event the appointee could enter
the Bpring primary with a tremendous
asset-the asset OF already being
United States Senator-and in the event
be is successful the same perquisite would
prove a valuable factor In the coming
campaign.
CLOSE FRIENDSHIP OF
HARDING AND NEWA
Many of the spectators. returning to
the situation in Washington, feel that
If Mr.. Hays leaves the Harding Ad
ministration that Senator New stands
first in line as his successor. The
Senator'S intimacy with President Hard
ing is we'll known and 1t is also de-
clared that the President is a little loath
to see his trusted confidante return to
Indiana and place his hope Of returning
to the capitol in the whimsicalities OF
a Hoosier primary.
The logical thing, 1t is pointed out, for
President Harding to do Is to insure the
retention of his aid for the next three
years by giving him an appointive posi-
ton in his Cabinet. That the Senator Is
regarded of Cabinet caliber is well
known, for at the time the President was
selecting his advisers Senator New was
frequently mentioned as a probable choice
for Secretary Of War. Many still believe
that If the President had not been be-
holden to Mr.. Hays, who hailed from
Indiana, he would have chosen the Hoos-
Ter statesman.

BEVERIDGE POSITION
STILL IN DOUBT.

With the question Of whether former
Senator Beverage is to become a can
dtdate for the senatorial nomination stin
unsettled, this speculative turn in Hoosier
politics has given a new angle to po-
litical gossip.
Mr. Beveridge, according to his close
friends has not determined whether he
will be a candidate against Senator New.
whom all admit has already effected a
powerful organization. With the removal
Of Mr.. New however. different situa-
ton will be created.
It is not likely that Senator News sue
cessor, no matter how high he stands
In his party councils, can summon to his
aid the machine that is all oiled up and
ready to support the present Senator.
In that event the field will lie more or
less open to all corners.
