lican nomination for United States
senator over Senator Harry S. New
by a majority OF approximately 2o,-
900, Indiana republicans and demo-
Gratis alike today are rested on their
oars in anticipation OF strenuous pre-
election activities.
Former Senator Breckenridge next
November will be opposed by former
Governor Samuel NJ. Ralston, demo-
cratic senatorial nominee, who de-
feated Beveridge for the governor
chip in 1912 when the republican
senatorial nominee was carrying tho
progressive party standard in the
state election.
Both Boveridge and former Gov
ernor Ralston were swept into the
nominations by majorities that sur
prised the electorate. Last minute
returns in Beveridge's favor were a
distinct shock to the New camp and
were "A distinct surprise to many, of
Beveridge's supporters. Ralston won
by vote totalling more than the
combined strength of his four op-
ponents. In the democratic race

objected to her marrying Lee.

says he did 1t in self-defense. He
denies killing his sister. The police

NEW YORK. March 20.-The
idea OF forlorn little kid whose

compelled by order Of the court"
to spend six months Of the year
with both remarked parents Is
something Of an alluring theme.
you'd think.
1t was the theme OF THE Cradle"
at the Rialto, with Ethel Clayton
as the starred parent. But some
how or other, though there were a
few minutes when the melancholy
fate of the child got" you-the
minutes were very. few.
l couldn't help wondering II the
story would not have been more
engrossing II Miss Clayton had
been less elegantly gowned. The
deeper her misery, the finer her
feathers. She grieved soulfully
and persisently but never once did
her costumes let up. Perhaps she
comforted herself by means Of
clothes. Women do 1t, l believe,
but one could have wished that
her agony had not taken so pure
ly a sartorial form. She is
pretty thing, is Ethel Clayton,
wistful. appealing and spectacu-
lar, and as we looked at her in her
maternal wretchedness we sor-
rowed for her. Her hair was so
pleasantly done. It was not pre-
cisely a permanent wave that she
adopted. nor was she bobbed Q
couldn't have endured bobbed
agonyD but there was a -sedate
luxury about her coiffeure that
was most engaging.
In THE Cradle" she couldn't
stand the horror of seeing her
'cheeyild' go for six months to
father. Father had welded a ST.
rene who was inclined to be con-
ventionally stepmother, and the
unfortunate kid was up against it.
1t was a nerve.racking mixup and
one with tremendous possibilities.
An artist, or psychological stu.
dent. might have attempted to
show us the child's state of mind
or have portrayed for us the ex-
act effect that the parental dis.
organization had upon the girls
future. Nothing of this sort was
attempted. Nevertheless the pic.

Promote Self-Government in India,

"One thing America can do to

statement" is to refuse to form an
alliance with Great Britain and
Japan, as provided In the four.power
pact.
''If the four-power pact is ratified
by the Congress Of the United States,
great danger threatens India. The
nationalists Of India will be forced
to look to other nations for help.
China and Russia, too, will be en-.
dangered and what is more reason
able than that they should look to
each other and combine their inter-
ests with those Of India for self
protection and preservation?
Germany can help them and Ia
ready to help them, and they will
not spurn its aid II America con-
tinues to keep it's eyes closed and

China to crafty their ambitions for

Extra Guards for Strike,
FIGURES SHOW SMALLPOX
DEATHS ARE NOW RARE

Very few deaths from smallpox
have been reported in recent years.
according to figures made public by
the Census Bureau today.
Since the beginning Of the annual
compilations in 1900 the highest rate
from smallpox in the death registra-
ton area Of the United States was
Sc per 100000 population in 1902.
while in 1903 it was AZ and in 1904
2.1. Since that time the rate has
never reached l per 100000 popula-

The bureau called attention to the
high death rate in an unvaccinated
population, pointing to the high rate
