LIARS ALL!

Would there were time today this would be turned into an editorial on the evils of idle wagging tongues By error, The Gateway report of the Chamber of Commerce m e ii g Tuesday, the names of Oscar Dahl and MT. Knapp were omitted from the list of those to whom thanks were extended by Pilot Merrill and Mr. Cunningham for courtesies ex- tended them. Immediately upon reading the account there must of been a horde of trouble makers who carried the news to the two men above mentioned that The Gateway omitted their names on purpose.
 The editor brands those who car ried that tale to MT. Dahl and to MT. Knapp, as liars!
 There seems to be a bunch of peo- pie put upon this earth for no other reason than to stir mp and create trouble.
 Thank heavens the "Ooligans" are running!

Hold Delegation-Invasion by
Lowden Also Foreseen.
BY G.. GOULD LINCOLN.

Secretary Hoover's entrance into the
Indiana presidential primary has been
recommended to Mr.. Hoover by group
of Republicans from the Hoosier State,
following a conference here yesterday
it was learned today.
The decision rests with Mr.. Hoover
as to whether he will contest with
Senator Jim" Watson for the Indiana
delegation to the Republican national
convention. The last day for filing 1or
the urinary In Indiana Is Thursday.
Doubt was expressed today IN Hoover
circles that the Secretary would enter
his name in Indiana. However. some
of the Hoosier State Republicans lafor-
ino his nomination take the other view.
they say that the swing to Hoover IN
Indiana has been strong In recent
weeks as a recent survey has shown.

urged Mr.. Hoover to enter the indiana
primary are former Gov. James +.

Some Hoover supporters take the po-
sition that the situation In Indiana is
different from that in Ohio. where it Is
said Secretary Hoover practically was
forced to enter the primary because OF
the stand taken by Senator Willis OF
Ohio. In Indiana, however. under the law
