ton Of Beveridge- for Senator Clubs and
with the activity Of Mayor Samuel Lewis
Shank who has made a number Of
speeches, attacking Senator Harry S.
New and supporting Mr-Beveridge.
The New campaign is well organized
and is underway but it has not gone
into full swing. The New people are
watching the Beverage movements at
tempting to guess just what form they
Will take. The announcement OF Mr..
Beveridge viii be the signal for an inten.
sive campaign for Senator New.
DEMOCRATS To MEET
COMING WEEK.
Democratic affairs will set under way
with the annual meeting OF the Demo-
cratic State Editorial Association next
Thursday at which COrdell Hull. national
chairman, will sound the party keynote.
Democrats are looking on the future
so far as general conditions are con-
cerned with optimism and hope. They
point to several things on which to base
this feeling. First, the results Of the
mayorality elections throughout the
State were most satisfying, having re-
suited in the election Of a majority Of
Democrats
The second reason on which che Dem
ocr2fie party workers base their stti-
tuue is the general business and financial
situation Of the country. Farmers, they
point out, who have been sLoveling corn
into the cook stove, and who have been
receiving around 81 for their wheat are
not exactly enthusiastic about the Admin
istration. They believe the same condi-
tiOn holds good for the laborinC man
who Is out Of employment and for the
business man who has seen his business
leaving him.
LEADERS LOOK
TO RALSTON.
The Democrats must decide yet the
matter Of an organization and the matter
Of Il candidate for the Senate Attention
has conferred during the last few weeks
almost exclusively on Mr.. Ralston. The
leaders of the party have been TO him and
urged him to be a candidate While he
has given them no promise, they are
hopeful that h will agree to make the
race.
Organization IS the most serious mat
ter confronting the party. The party in
Indiana right now is in a disorganized
condition. While q skeleton organization
has been maintained, it is anything but
complete Benjamin Bose. the present
State chairman has not been working at
the job. He has signifed his intention to
resign.
Most Of the party workers hope that
there will be installed In his place a
young man who can give his entire at
tention to party work. They are look
ing for a man with ability as ar organ
izer who viii work at the job and who
viii put pep" into the party Where
such a man is TO. be found nobody seems
TO know very definitely. Some of the
oldtimers of the party are looking with
longing eyes at the craftsmanship but
they are meeting with opposition.
PLANS AWAIT
CLEARING DEFICIT.
One OF the things that is hindering or
ganizatiOn work is the financial condition
of the party. The party came out OF
the 1920 campaign with a considerable
deficit which has not been cleared up.
Many plans are contingent on this deficit
being cleared up and a fund for the new
campaign being obtained.
All these things are expected to be
taken up at the meeting Of the State
committee, which will be held in connec-
tion with the Editorial Association meet
ing. The committee meeting will be at
tended by Mr.. Hull and is expected to
be one OF the most important held for
some time.
