WOMEN AGAINST
RADIO in HOOSlER
SENATE CONTEST
Harry New Forgot Ladies In
Laying Plans And Beveridge
Seized Advantage

INDIANAPOLIS, April 27.-Wheh
Senator Harry S. New, of Indiana,
first launched his campaign to sue
ceed himself in the upper house of
the national legislature he counted
on waging his fight, to a considerable
extent through speeches broadcast by
radio telephone.
His friends did not deem an organ
ization of women voters desirable in
support of his candidacy.
They have changed their minds.
Or rather, ex-senator Albert j. Bev-
eridge, who seeks to go back to
Washington in Senator News
place, changed their minds fo rthem.
Beveridge went, first and fore
most, after womens votes. He spoke
and leetured through Indiana, and
for the most part in churches. Frank
ly he sought to enlist women espec-
tally in his cause
After about a month of this, Sena-
tor News friends acknowledged
that their candidates. women sup
porters must be brought more ac-
lively into the contest.
The result is that much of the
most elective campaigning, as be-
tween New and Beveridge, IS being
done by women, and there are more
women speakers in the field than
mn.
New has not given up his fight by
radio. Several of the halls where
he has spoken or is to speak, are
fitted with radio telephones and the
senator hopes, in particular, to
reach thousands of farmers by this
means. Nevertheless, the impor-
tance of the appeal to women is
fully recognized.
Two such practical politicians as
Senator Watson, Republican, and
Thomas Taggart, Democratic leader
ia Indiana, say they think New will
be nominated, and aWtson adds
that the Republican nomination is
equivalent to election, as he consld-
ers the Democratic party in the state
"greatly demoralized" The Demo-
Gratis take a different view. Their
version is that the New-Beveridge
rivalry has developed considerable
bitterness, which they predict will
divide the Republican party into fac
tions, whereas they say their own
contest is friendly, though they
have five candidates for nomination
in the field.
The Democratic aspirants are eX-
Governor Samuel NJ Ralston, who,
the press in general seems to con-
slider, is likely to get the nomina-
ton; State Senator B. B. Shively, a
relative of ex-Vice President Mar
shall; Daniel w. Simms, DR.. Jesse
Sanders and Charles Howard.
The test will cine on May 2,
when the Indiana primaries will be
held. 1t will be the first test of the
kind, of national interest, anticipa-
tory of'the next election.

Revision Of Political Forecasts.
1t already is apparent that the ex-
traordlnary unsettllng Of party lines
in congress is destined to exert pro-
found influence upon the political his
tory Of the next two years. Among
the effects foreseen are the breaking
of numerous presidential booms In
both parties, and among the posslbili-
ties is the return Of the Democrats to
complete power in the presidential
and congressional election In 1924.
With Republican control OF the ma
tional legislature rendered unstable, It
is certainty that President Harding,
II he can avoid 1t, will not summon
in extraordinary session the Sixty
eighth congress, which otherwise will
not convene until December, 1923.
Extra Session for This Month.
The President will endeavor to
crowd the remainder Of his leglsla-
tive program through the present con-
gress before II expires March 4 next,
and TO that end is expected to call an
extra session this month to press for
passage Of the ship subsidy bill, which
he could not expect to put through the
next congress with its Democratic
membership approaching close to a
majority.
The casualty list OF the election OF
senators, according to the latest re.
turns, shows loss Of ten seats BY
the Republicans and a loss OF two
seats by the Democrats.
The Republican losses were occa
stoned by the defeat of Senators Dr
; Pont in Delaware, France in Mary
land, Townsend in Michigan, kellogg
in Minnesota, Frellnghuysen in New
Jersey, Calder In New York, Polndex
