THE lowest possible estimate of the
majority of Senator New will be in ex
cess Of 10000 and if the total vote Is
large the majority will reach twice that
figure" Fred |. King, manager Of the
campaign of Harry S. New, for renomi-
nation by the Republicans for United
States Senator declared in a final cam
paign statement today.
Signal service In the United States
Senate for five years, close Identification
with the Harding Administration achieve
ments, his popularity with the voters,
. and the failure Of his opponent to ap-
prove or commend the Washington peace
pacts, were cited by Mr.. King as rea-
sons why Senator New win command a
large majority at the polls Tuesday.
Mr.. Kings statement follows:
The campaign for the nomination Of
a Republican candidate for United States
Senator from Indiana is drawing to
close The splendid menaand women OF
the HOoser State, who constitute the
membership Of the great party which
reveres the names of Morton. Harrison
and scores of other distinguished leaders,
have a right to demand of me as the di-
rector of Senator News candidacy for
denomination, an accurate and candid
statement Of the situation as we view 1t
upon the eve of the actual battle of the
ballots.
NOT UNMINDFUL
or TENSION"
q am not unmindful Of the tension
which exists, nor Of the intensity Of the
feeling which has been aroused among
the partisans Of the two contending can
didates for the great honor which is AZ
stake. But l am conscious OF no pur-
pose to inject into the campaign any
element Of discord or any factor which
would give Just cause for resentment.
If gentlemen who have opposed Senator
New are possessed OF the same cOnYic-
tion as to their own conduct and at
titude throughout the campaign, We Re-
publicans can enter and leave the voting
booths on next Tuesday with clear con
sciences and the utmost faith in the
justice of the verdict which the party
membership shall render.
From the opening of the campaign to
the present hour we have pursued the
one consistent course Of presenting to
the Republicans OF Indiana the splendid
record Of service which Senator New has
rendered his State and country during
the past Ave years and the signal achieve
ments Of the Harding Administration Of
which he has been conspicuous part.
We have hea Ri no word Of commentator
Of this record and OF these achievements
from the opposition. Even the epoch
making achievements Of the great peace
conference held in the National Capital
a few short months ago have failed to
arouse even q passing comment OF APP
proval or the slightest sign OF recogni-
ton on the part OF Mr.. Beveridge or
any Of his supporters. The issues which
our opponents have. sought TO raise have
now been submerged into the one final
and most fatuous plea that the nomina-
ton OF their candidate is necessary in
order that the election may be won
next November When II is recalled
that Mr. Bevcrldee has never won
popular nomination nor a popular cleo
ton for himself and that on the con
trary, Senator New has won every time
he has been a candidate. either nj pri-
mary or election, the fufility Of this
plea Will be recognized. The Republican
voters Of Indiana will not be Swayed by
such false reasoning nor Influenced by
such empty argument
SAYS PUBIIC VIII
APPROVE NEWS RECORD.
ION fhe other hand they viii register
their emphatic approval Of Senator News
fine record and their cordial Endorsement
II the Harding Administration by tire
mendous vote Of confidence which will
make Senator New the standard bearer
FOR his party In another great victory
next November. We are absolutely con
fident Of the result Az the lowest pos
sible estimate the Statewide majority
for Senator New will he In excess Of CO.
600 and Il the total vote IS large the ma
iority will reach twice that figure. Every
congressional district in the State will
contribute to this result by giving
majority for our candidate The RepublI
can voters Of Indiana have made up their
minds in this matter. They cannot be
swnyed by last minute appeals to preju-
dice nor by false alarms spread by de
signing persons during the closing hours
Of the campaign. Already In the hearts
and consciences Of the great majority Of
the Republicans of Indiana, the verdict
Is made up. 1t will be returned on Tues
day next and Senator New will be com
missioned by his party associates to re
turn to the United States Senate for an
other term Of conspicuous service"
