same sentiment extends to a sufficient
degree among Republican voters to
bring about Democratic victory. Most
of those, both within politics and
without, with whom I have talked
take the view that things are by no
means as bad as they have been
painted. The State is normally Re-
publican by $4,000 or more.
G. O. p. Victory Predicted.
Predictions are made by careful OBJ
son and Senator Robinson will be re-
elected from $4,000 to 100000 plu-
rality. Much reliance is had on the
Republican organization, which is de-
clared to be more complete this year
than ever before. Many of the former
factional differences are said to have
been eliminated. Former supporters
Of Postmaster General New and AL
bert J. Beveridge are working with
the Watson and Robinson campaign
committees.
Beware of campaign lies," is
slogan adopted by the Republican
State committee. Posters bearing
this slogan have been printed and are
displayed generously. Cards bearing
the same legend are inclosed in let

headquarters. Everything possible is
being done to offset harm that may
come from the publication of the
Adams charges.
"Stephensonism," however, is the
issue as the Democrats see 1t, al
though they have officially made no
statements yet in regard to 1t. They
are awaiting hopefully. They are
afraid, apparently, to seize upon the
issue openly until more concrete
proofs can be obtained.
The story Of Stephenson's rise to
power in this State is one Of the most
remarkablesin in recent political history.
Even now he is mystery man." He
is supposed to have come originally
from Texas, via Oklahoma and Iowa.
He became a high pressure stock
and bond salesman. He was employed
to organize the first Klan in Indiana,
Evansville Klan, No. 1, and became it's
exalted cyclops. 1t was in 1922 and
1923 that he became dominant in State
klan affairs. He is reputed to have
brought the Klan membership in In
diana up to the 400, 900 mark, and to
have received more than million dol
lars during the process of organiza-
ton. He became known as 1.-The Old
Man" He wanted to become Imperial
Wizard in Simmons place, but Hiram
w. Evans was chosen instead. A
break came and "Steve" was succeed
ed as grand dragon Of Indiana by
man named Bossart. Steve" was

;harged with misappropriating $500, 900
of Klan funds. He replied by filing
suit for. damages in the Federal Court
here and the suit is still pending.
Campaign Of 1924.
THE Old Man" gathered his friends
in the Klan and continued still to ex-
ert great power in the State. This
was the situation when the elections
of evidence that Stephenson was very
active in the campaign for Gov. Jack
son and others on the Republican
ticket that year. He was closely al
lied with the Marion County Republi.
can organization. Gov. Jackson and
the others now declare that they did
not know the real character of the
man or they would have had nothing
to do with him.
As grand dragon Of the Klan,
Steve" had a gilded airplane in
which he flew to Klan gatherings.
His pilot, Court" Asher, Is one Of
those now intent upon getting Ste
phensOn out Of Jail. Asher today tells
vivid stories of the powers which
steve" and his intimates exerted
during the latter's regime, Of the wild
parties that were given at "Steve's"
home and on his yacht. for he had
acquired a handsome craft. which he
used on Lake Michigan. During the
Republican national convention in
Cleveland in 1924 the yacht was moor
ed nearby, and "Steve" entertained
many politicians aboard. At the hear
ing in the civil suit yesterday in the
Superior Court a confidential state
ment from mercantile agency was
presented showing that in October,
1924, Stephenson was worth 1854, 900.
Accused i'm Assault Case.
Later Stephenson was charged with
kidnapping, assaulting and m&treating
Madge Oberholtzer, an indianapolis
girl, who took poison and died. Un-
der the Indiana law a man who fails
to report that poison has been taken
may be charged with murder. So the
charge Of murder was brought
against Stephenson and he was con-
victed.
Clyde A. Walb, Republican State
chairman, in a letter to Senator Borah
Of Idaho, has charged that 'interna-
tional bankers" are back Of the attack
OF the Republican ticket in Indiana
both Senator Watson and Senator
Robinson voted against the World
Court. Perhaps this charge may
bring the senatorial investigating
committee to Indiana. Walb declares
he is ready to testify regarding his
statement.

Christian, that Stephenson had ever
given him a check for $4,000, or any
other sum, as charged. The gov
ernor said: ID. c. Stephenson never
at any time gave me a check for
$4,000 or any sum as gift or for
campaign purposes and any state
ment that he did is absolutely false"
Other Charges Revealed.
Christian, Adams said would go
before the grand jury and give testi-
mony to this effect. 1t is these al
legged Stephenson documents that
Adams Is anxious to unearth. He has
already produced letter said to
have been written by Stephenson In
Jail and smuggled out to a confidant
in which Stephenson had an agree
ment with a certain prominent off,
cial of the State who was to pay
Stephenson the sum Of $825,000 or
three times the amount Stephenson
expended in his behalf for election.
and that he had notes signed by the
same official .for that amount and
also contracts with the mayors Of
three large cities to pay him on a
ratio of three for one for all money
agreements with those mayors to
appointees.
Adams charges that "every effort
on the part of official and political
life" has been made to block the
Adams probe committee.
Charges, on the other hand, are
made by the Republican central COM
mittee of Knox County adams
county, that Adams had sought to
use the party for "his personal gain
and glorfication." 1t was said at
the meeting of the committee that
Adams became angry with the Re-
publican State chairman because he
would not assist him in his can
didacy for governor in 1924; with
Gov. Jackson because he would not
appoint him successor to the late
Senator Ralston, and with Senator
Watson because he would not con-
slider Adams claims to dictate ap
pOintment of a successor to Federal
Judge A. B. Anderson. The county
committee undertook to. read Adams
out of the Republican party.
So the situation stands. It may
change at any moment, with consid-
cradle political effect.
G. o. p. Discredits Charges.
So far the Republican State lead
ers insist the charges brought by
Adams have had no real effect on
the voters. They insist that the
grand jury probe will allay any feel
ing Of suspicion and resentment. So
thoroughly discredited is Stephenson,
they say, that the people would not
believe him even if he broke his
silence and himself made charges.
The Democrats, on the other hand,
are taking heart from the mess. They
believe that it cannot fail to aid their
ticket. Their hopes of electing both
their candidates for United States
Senator have mounted and they pre-
dict that victory will be with them.
Here and there are Republicans
who are thoroughly disgusted with
the entire state of affairs in Indiana,
who insist that the Republican lead
ership in the State is corrupt and
entirely discredited. 1 talked with
one Republican of years standing who
said that the only thing to do was
to "elect the Democratic ticket and
turn all the Republicans out of office
until the party can be cleaned up"
1t is doubtful, however, that this

INDIANAPOLIS October lathe
Marion County grand jury today
epeeded up it's investigation into
charges of alleged political corruption
In Indiana, with a view to complet.
ing the taking Of testimony with
in the next two or three days.
Thomas H. Adams. publisher of
the Vincennes, Ind, Commercial, who
originally made the charges of al
legged bartering of offices by public
officials, and d. c. Stephenson, named
by Adams as q source of conf1rma-
ton of the charges. have both testi'
fed before the grand jurors. and ap-
parently only the gathering up of
loose ends Of testimony remained be-
fore conclusion Of the probe
Goes Back to Prison.
With Stephenson back in the In
diana State prison after his trip to
Indianapolis the grand jury session
divided interest with the possibility
of the corruption charges becoming
the subject Of a hearing by the sena'
torial campaign funds investigating
committee. st. Louis dispatches last
night quoted a newspaper of that city
rs saying that United States Senator
James A. Reed Of Missouri. chairman
of the Senate committee. had called
a erecting of its members in India
napOlis.
Earl Klenck. former bodyguard of
Stephenson, and who was acquitted
last year when he was a co-defendant
with Stephenson on the charge of
numbering Madge OberhOltZer, of
which the latter was convicted and
is now serving a life sentence In the
Indiana State prison, was expected
TO complete today The testimony he
started to give yesterday before the
grand jury.
That the jury would investigate the
new angle injected into the case yes
terday by Floyd Christian, Mobiles
vile attorney. appeared unlikely.
Christian made public a statement in
which he said that he had seen, while
visiting Stephenson in the Hamilton
County Jail, before the OberholtZer
trial, a check which he said, was
payable to Ed Jackson governor of
Indiana) for $4,000" and signed by
Stephenson. 1t was pointed out that
the jury would probably not concern
itself with this statement, inasmuch
as Christian indicated that he did not
now have possession Of such a check.
Governor Denies Charge.
Gov. jackson denied vigorously that
he had received such q check from
Stephenson.
I'D. C. Stephenson never at any
time gave me check for $4,000 or
any sum as a gift or for campaign
purposes and any statement that he
did. is absolutely false" the COVER
nor said.
The impression prevailed here that
nv
information to the grand jury. 1t
appeared to be based on the one hour
duration of his session with the
Jurors, which was considered too brief
to permit the intricate revelations
which Adams some time ago said
would be forthcoming IL Stephenson
were called to testify.
After his appearance before the
grand jury. Stephenson was taken to
the Superior Court In connection
with a civil suit, but refused to
testify.

Says Proof Of Adams Corruption
Charges Not Legal.

Senator Borah, Republican. Idaho,
telegraphed Attorney General Gilliom

of Vincennes was not in the nature Of
legal proof of Adams charges of cor
ruption in the State government.

eral saying the material should be
returned for submission to the grand
jury. and warning the Senator that
Indiana could set her own house in

Borah telegraphed. II have not made
any statement to the effect that

tain his charges. l was not in
