Week Opens With Wabash
at Purdue-FrankIin VS..
Butler Here Tuesday.

Two big rivalry college basket
games are scheduled tonight and
Tuesday between State clubs. Wa
bash goes to Lafayette tonight to
take on the fast travelling Purdue
five. Butler and Franklin stage
their annual feature here at the new
court, auto show building, State
Playground, on Tuesday.
The Boilermakers rule favorite
over Wabash. Coach Vaughn Is
having trouble in whipping a team
into shape at the Scarlet camp. De
vol Of last years champion club is
the only member playing up to the
standard set last season.
Doubtful Starter
Robinson was unable to play in
the Evansville College games last
week and Ccffel is ineligible. The
loss Of Burdette and Chadwick
has been felt.
Purdue may be handicapped by
the loss Of Cramer, center. who was
called home by the illness of his
mother. If Cramer is out, Stevenson,
a sophomore, will perform in his
place. Harmeson or Neuman and
Spradling will be at forward with
Wilson and Jolly at guard. Wilcox,
floor guard, has wrenched ankle
but may get in for a while. The
game is scheduled for 1880.
A capacity crowd is expected to
witness the Franklin Butler contest
here Tuesday. 1t win be the last
appearance in Indianapolis Of those
great players, Cant, Friddle and
Vandivier, who have helped make
Hoosier basket history. 1t is not
known whether Vandivier will play.
He may get in part Of the scrap.
Local Lineup
Butler probably will start the
same lineup that went so well
against Missouri. Chadd or Wake
field and Nipper will be seen at for
ward, Holz at center and Reach and
Harker, guards. '~
The Indianapolis Times will broad
cast the game from the Merchants
Heat and Light Company station

PLEDGES
Of Insurance Flood Union
Labor Life Offices

Washington, ID. C.-With the date
Of closing the books in the stock
selling campaign drawing nearer each
day, the offices of the Union Labor
Life Insurance Company here are
entering new phase of experience.
REQUESTS for insurance, inquiries
about insurance and requests for
rates, terms and all manner of infor-
nation about insurance are coming in
each mail, according to officers of the
company.
Inquiries as to group insurance are
particularly numerous. 81 want to
take $4,000 for myself, some of my
friends want policies and our union is
interested in group insurance" is a
sample of the letters that are coming
in.
In the offices of the company here
amaZement is expressed at the great
volume of inquiries that are already
coming in.
Meanwhile the stock sale continues,
with local unions and individuals
rushing to get their allotment be-
fore the books are closed. Nearly all
of the international unions have acted
on the question and have taken the
stock they intend to secure, but
smaller bodies all over the country
are rushing to get in ahead of the
closing date.
1t is announced that there is still
opportunity and probably will be
through December, but those who
wish to 'play safe" are urged not
to delay, but to act Immediately.
On the basis of present indications
the company is due for RECORD
breaking business at its date of open
ling, making history both for the trade
/ union movement and for the insurance
business.

Ware Tries Censorship

Ware is particularly sensitive over
the fact that 80 election divisions in
Philadelphia did not credit Wilson
with single vote, and that in 272
divisions he was given loo votes,
while Wilson was credited with 1860.
He is making every effort to prevent
the mention of these discriminating
details in local newspapers, and to
establish a censorship on the discus
sion of his uncertain status before
the Senate.
Vare's gang has admitted the ex-
penditure of almost 100000 in his
behalf in the primary last May, which
is just Is times the amount of the
total salary he would receive in six
years as member of the Senate.
Truman H. Newberry, of Michigan,
was ousted from the Senate for the
expenditure of about one-fifth of this
sum.

Ware Plans Desperate Fight
To Retain Seat in Senate
As Public Indignation Rises

By international Labor News Service
Phi a e p hi'a-Frightened and
glimpsing the first severe defeat in 20
years of gang rule in Philadelphia,
William S. Ware and his henchmen
are getting ready for the fight of their
existence to retain for him the seat
in the United States Senate vacated
by George Wharton Pepper.
While the grip of the Ware gang
in Philadelphia remains undisputed,
the tide of resentment and opposition
throughout the rest of the State as a
result of the counting of the ballots in
this city, and the expenditure of un-
paralleled slush funds in the primary
last May, is something to be reckoned
with, and not to be ignored even in a
city where the boss rule of Ware has
been accepted for years as a matter
of course.
Strikes at Foes
Ware is ruthlessly striking at his
political foes in an attempt to trample
the opposition to him, and preventing
the people of the State who support
ed William B. Wilson, wartime Sec
retary of Labor, for the senatorship,
from lending support to the move to
prevent him holding his seat in the
Senate.
The gang is ready to fight. They
realize the desperate odds of outraged
public sentiment which they face.
They realize also that with Wilson
sweeping the State outside of Phila-
delphia by almost $4,000 majority, and
carrying 55 of 81 counties in the State,
the issue of gang rule and monopolized
elections in Philadelphia is squarely
at stake.
