This was the statement of Jim

the boys of Chickasha had been

Washington. May 2.-Rcpubllcan
campaign leaders took the occasion
of the Indiana primary today to an
nounce new and more aggressive
policy for this years elections.
While Senator New, Indiana, was
fighting at the polls In his home
state against former Senator Bev-
oridge for the republican nomina-
tion. Senator Mccormick, Illinois,
chairman OF the republican sena-
torial campaign committee, an
nounced:
That the republicans intend to
fight for 80 of the 80 senate seats
that will be filled this year.
Tha, the senatorial campaign com
mittee win take more active part
than ever before in directing the
campaign
That the issues and events of
tho various state campaigns will be
constantly before the public by
means of conferences between Nc
Cormick and the press.
In four southern states McCor-
mick's committee will make no fight.
They are Virginia, Florida, Missis-
sippi and Texas. But in such border
states as Tennessee, Arizona and
New Mexico, in all of which demo
cratic senators come up this year

of getting the mails out to you on

the senders.
"Your postmaster desires at this
time to acknowledge with great ap-
probation the aid for a better mail
service, that has come from indi-
viduals, organizations and the press,
without which his efforts would
have fallen flat without having done
the service any good whatever.
I'VE cannot emphasize too strong
ly the necessity of early mailing, in
order to get the best results and
again call your attention to the
fact that in order to get the best
results from your correspondence,
you should reach them first and
show them that you are on the job

lined for the postponed event and
we hope that the boys will hold
their interest and that not one who
would have gone tomorrow will fail
to go a week from today"
DR.. Templeton stated that in con-
versation with the ward school prin-
cipals in which he announced the
postponement, some expressed graft
fication in that the added time would
give the track teams that much
more time to train for the field and
