70 rest with the Non Partisan League.
Senator McCumbcr in seeking renomi-
nation. and has as his opponent form

The Indiana situation Is somewhat
complicated. Senator New comes up
this year, and former Senator Beve-
ridge. stronger than ever before. i, 10
oppose him. BcvcridEe Clubs arc
being organized all over tho state. and
the ex-senator has strengthened him
self great deal by lecture tour dur
ing the past year. However. Senator

ing Senator New to become ono of his
Cabinet. The Democratic candidate.

culture.
on the Democratic side. there ha.
been as yet no response from Henry
