FEELS STING OF
HOOVER VICTORY
Political Injury to Leslie and
! Watson Seen in Futile
Fight.
BY ROBERT BEARD

While Indiana Republicans de-
bate the political wisdom of Sena-
tor James E. Watsons last-ditch
fight against Herbert Hocver's
nomination for the presidency,
Hoosier Democrats manifestly are
pleased with reports from Kansas
City indicating discord in the In
diana delegation.
Republican sentiment here was
inclined to find some excuse for
Watson's refusal to withdraw from
the nominative race, claims being
made he bore a mandate, by vir-
tue of the primary, to register a
protest in the formal balloting
against Hoovers nomination.
Many Republicans. however,
agree with some of Indiana's dele
gates that Watson has injured him
self politically by unnecessarily
sharp criticism of Hoover's candi-
dacy. Edgar Bush of Salem, the
Republican nominee for Lieutenant
Governor. draws the brunt of Sc
we're criticism for the vehemence
of his anti Hoover TRADES.
Detriment to Leslie
It was generally conceded that
Bush's enthusiasm carried him to
extremes that will be decidedly det-
rimental to the success of Harry
Leslie, Republican gubernatorial
nominee.
Dispatches frequently indicated
Eeslie's n1isgivings about the effects
of the ardor shown by Bush and
William H. Settle, Indiana Farm
Bureau Federation president, in
leading the farmers attack on
Hoover.
With Hoover as the presidential
nominee, it bodies State candidates
no good to have been vigorously hos
tile to them, say Republicans here.
They recall that Hoover failed by
only some $4,000 to carry the State
in his contest with Watson. Hoover
carried Indianapolis and Marion
County by 10000.
Daley Stock Boosted
OCIllOCI cbOC WCLC dSoCI OlIlS UIldO
the opposition of Hoosier Repub-
licans to Hoover's nomination was
''the last straw in making certain
Leslie's defeat in November by
Frank G. Daley, the Democratic
gubernatorial choice. It is their be-
lief that the effect of Watson Bush
Settle utterances and activities at
the national Republican convention
will be a decided disadvantage to
the whole Republican ticket in In
diana.
Hoover's nomination, it is agreed,
Is reward enough to Hoover's sup

the State primary and makes neces-
sary an alliance between the M.

crowd and the Hoover organization,
built up last April by Oscar G.
Foellinger Of Ft. Wayne.
Democrats expect to make cam
paign stock of the hot shots ex-
changed six weeks ago by spokes-
men for The rival Watson and Hoo
yer camps.

AGENT, AND

Glasgow Federal agent +. L Cor
coran, assisted by Deputy Sheriff
Robert Robke, armed with search
warrants. went to Coalridee, Mon
tana, on Sunday, Jan. 29th, with
the intention of raiding an alleged
moonshine still there. The still was
supposed to be found in some un-
occupied buildings north of Brush
Lake summer resort, and the Off
GERS happened to meet Dolfe Lob
dell, country storekeeper, coming
from the direction of the alleged
moonshine plant, he was hauling II
load of sugar, part of an alleged
still, and also some white mule.
Another outfit was following Lob
dell, and this sleigh contained over
so empty jugs various sizes Lob
dell was detained on suspicion and
ordered to appear at Pentywood on
Monday, TO give an accounting for
the strange load he was hauling
The other driver was released i'm
mediately.
The officers thereupOn went 10 the
place where the still was supposed
to be found, but the still and coils
were gone, but they did find 32
barrels OF mash. A party by the
name of Lee Spurgeon was in pos
session of this place, although tile
search warrant was directed against
Rudolph Steffen who is alleged to
have been manufacturing white
mule" in that locality for some time.
1t is understood that the load OF
sugar never reached the C0alridee
store, and on Monday another
search was instituted for this ard II
was finally located at the residence
of one Bud Chapman.
There will most likely be some
interesting developments from the
raid, as it is evident that someone
was tipped off before the raid start

away with all the evidence before
the officers arrived on the scene

North Carolina Roads
Earn Large Dividends

North Cardinals road building cam
paign, extending over period of FIVE
years, has paid huge dividends, ac-
cording to Frank Page, chairman Of
the state highway system. More than
1900 miles Of concrete roads have
been built, averaging 13 feet wide.
Two thousand busses carry children
over these roads. This Is one of the
achievements the improved roads have
made possible, according to Mr.. Page.
While the number of farms In the
country cs whole have been on the
decrease the number Of North Caro-
lima farms has been increased by 49,
900 during the last five years.
Motor registration in the state has
Increased 260 per cent since 1920,
leading the increase In the rest of
the country by 60 per cent. And In
directly this increased motor regIstra-
tion has paid for the highways in fees
and four-cent gas tax.

IMPROVEMENTS ON
MANY HIGHWAYS

No other class Of public improvements
has attracted 1.-THE Of the attention
that has been given to the construc-
tion of hard-surfaced highways dur
ing the last few years. Road build
ing, so long neglected in this country,
really began in a scientific manner
with the general introduction Of the
automobile as means OF rural trans
portation, says the Washington Post.
Until then the farm owner was more
intent in keeping down taxes than In
the improvement of roads.
The general Use of motor driven We
terest in country roads that he had
never felt before. The result was the
alliance between rural and urban
dwellers In appeals to state legisla-
lures to take over the construction
and care of main travelled roads.
Later came the movement for federal
aid. This was extended at first only
In very small way. but the appropri-
auons made by congress have grown
year after year until today there are
55.903 miles OF federal aided high
ways, of which 9,4O0 miles were con.
structed during 1926.
Equally important additions to the
total mileage of good roads" through
state and county operations have been
added, so that today 1t is possible for
the motorist to drive over hard road
from Atlantic City to San Francisco.
This is the most important long-dls-
tance highway in the country, touching
as 1t does Wheeling, Columbus. Indian
apolis. st. Louis. Denver. Salt Lake
City and Reno.
Another great transcontinental high
way is known as No. 80, from Atlantic
City. through Pennsylvania, Ohio. Illi-
nois, Wyoming, Utah and on to Port
land, Ore. Still another road runs
from Boston to Buffalo. thence through
Canada, re-entering the United States
at Detroit, and on to the western line
of Michigan to Lake Michigan, by
ferry to Manitowoc, Wis, and thence
north to St Paul and Minneapolis.
From this route the tourist may
branch Off over excellent roads to the
South as far as New Orleans.
North and South, East and West
highways have been created, and
dlagonals are In course of construc-
tion everywhere. Since 1913 the states
have added thousands Of millions to
their bonded Indebtedness in the In
terest of good highways. The taxes
necessary to bring about these results
seem to be the least burdensome of
any that the property holder is called
upon to pay. The American people
have awakened to the necessity for
good roads and are determined to have
the best, for gravel and macadam are
everywhere being replaced with as
phalt, concrete and brick.
