When Senator Harry S. New left
the Orpheum theatre at Hammond
last night. after having made the
fourth speech OF the days tour OF
the county. he was IN high good
spirits.
I'm glad came to Lake county
said the senator. 1t has been a
royal reception and after all. what
is there TO public office unless il
carries with it public approval? We
all like to be appreciated. especially
II we feel we have merited the ap
probation. and so 1 can truthfully
say that I am glad 1 made this trip
RIGHT TO FEEL HAPPY
Senator New had q right TO feel
happy about his reception in Lake
county. With the exception Of
Hammond. he spoke 10 jammed
houses and great cheering crowds
In Hammond there were a few seats
vacant on the first floor OF the Or
pheum. 1t SO happened that any

ACTIONS BETTER THAN WORDS

Senator New referred modestly to
the expeditions way in which an
act of congress was obtained TO
vacate portion of the East Chicago
canal in order TO bring the Jones a.
Laughlin plant to Hammond. He
said that while he was not an orator
he was confident that speech-mak
ing would not have secured passage
OF that congressional act.
I'm my experience in the United
States senate. / have never known
one vote to be changed by oratory."
declared Senator New
WILL STAND BY RECORD
'T am fully prepared to stand be-
hind my record" said Senator New.
"I would like to ask my opponent in
what respect he would have voted
differently than I did on the import
ant measures enacted by the recent
congress. I voted for all the war
measures, for womans suffrage. the
maternity bill, the welfare bills.
and the hve bills that have put the
farming industry back on its feet"

GENOA, April 81. Under the
shadow of the grave pronouncement
threatening state of European rela-
tions. last desperate effort was
launched today to solve the Russian
debt question which has disrupted
the Genoa economic conference.
Called to clinch peace for suffering
Europe. the conference today had
become more notable for its war
like pronouncements and crises
than for any progress toward peace.
There is little prospect of either
side budging from 'irreducible con-
ditions" which have been outlined.
LLOYD GEORGE ALARMED
Even the British premier himself,
a confirmed optimist to the last
minute in any international dis
agreement. is described today as
holding little hope that the Russia
problem can be settled at this time.
Lloyd George. according to an
nouncement from his villa. does not
intend leaving Genoa for at least a
fortnight. lie wants to stay until
the broad outlines of the proposed
pact pledging European nations
against aggression for a period OF
ten years had been worked out
Attention was centered today up
than forty y-eight divisions concen-
trated upon the Polish border.
NEW MENACE TO PEACE
The Russo-Polish friction. due to
Polands alignment with the allies
in the present controversy, and Rus
siacs contention. that Poland. by the
Riga agreement has formally rec
ognized the Soviet government. has
been one of apparently unimportant
technical diplomatic quibb1ing. But
the question must be judged by it's
future possibilities.
IT looms as new menace to the
peace of Europe. The Soviet contin-
ues its efforts to force Poland def
nitely to join the colors one way or
another.
If France marches upon the Ruhr.
May 81, as threatened by Premier
Poincare, observers here consider 1t
probable that Russia will seize the
opportunity created by the Polish
ally's preoccupation with Rhine mill
itary operations for a war of ven
geance against Poland.
FRENCH DEMAND SANCTIONS
The first French reaction since It
became apparent the British prob
ably would sidetracl1 the unsoiv-
able puzzle for the broader question
been statements from French dele
gates demanding that any such pact
be backed by sanctions" This con
stitutes a revival in a new form of
the three year French campaign for
binding military alliances which
will guarantee France the fruits Of
the Versailles treaty and guard her
against war of revenge

Gary Meeting Was
A Big Success

II there was a trace of doubt as
to his popularity In Gary and the
vote the Steel City will give Sena-
tor Harry S. New, candidate for re-
election at the primaries next Tues
day. the doubt was wiped out at
the Gary theatre in Gary last night
when he was greeted by rip-roar-
ing audience which packed the pop
ular show house from the main floor
up to peanut heaven" and out to
the outer doors.
It was the larges. audience that
has gathered at any Gary theatre
since President Harding spoke in
Gary during the presidential cam
paign. Long before the curtain
rose at p. NJ. the main floor and
balconies were filled. many standing
in the aisles in the rear OF the house
When he walked on the stage he
was given a hearty Gary welcome
by his attentive audience. City
Judge William Dunn introduced
Mayor r. o. Johnson, permanent
chairman of the meeting. who in
turn stated his pleasure and honor
in introducing Senator III. S. New.
the Grand old" Republican who
has done so much for Lake county
in his past four years of active and
busy service in the senate at Wash
ington.

hurry through with his speech as
the county committee had arranged
three speeches for the evening. Sem
ator New spoke at brief on tariff
measures. tax reductions. the soldier
bonus and what the United States
had already done for her returned
heroes, government expenditures
since the Republican party came
into power. and the child labor lr>y
which Senator New stated his op-
ponent. Mr.. Beveridge. claimed to
be the author.
He also spoke of the task the Re-
publican party had tn front of them
when they took tho reins OF the
country following the eight years Of
Democratic reign. THE business af-
fairs of the country were in the
worst shape in. the history of the
United States. Each department.
was problem In itself and had to
be re-adjusted. On top of that they
faced a twenty-five billion dollar
debt which we had to wipe out.
With the attention Of the audience
focused on him, Senator New con-
tinued the speech which Gary has
been looking forward to with great
interest. He expressed his regre.
in having only short time in which
to talk to the people OF Gary. ex-
planning that the arrangements
were not made by him. but by his
committee.
