INDIANA NOT KANSAS CITY

Although defeated in the Indiana primary Secre-
tary Hoover made excellent showing in the "Hoos-
Ter State against political machine that has been
termed the best outside of Tammany Hall.
This machine solidly backed Senator Watson
"Favorite Son., and the Indiana delegation will go to
Kansas City instructed to cast its votes for him.
Aside from his own state, Senator Watson has not
proved himself to be formidable opposition for Hoover
and the success he achieved in Indiana is an ndi-
cation that Hoover is losing strength. Favorte Son.
the election that does not bring such from Indiana
can hardly be considered official" The Indiana folks
great politicians and refuse to sdestep the politi
cal spotlight, especially in presidential year
The result in Indiana close enough to show
that Hoover conduct good political battle and
that he has many supporters in what consider
ed enemy territory.
Carrying Indiana is altogether different from
carrying the convention at Kansas City When Hoover
does the latter, Senator Watson should fall in behind
gracefully the secretary's supporters were yes

GO GET HIM JOHN ID.

The impending battle between Colonel Robert W.
Stewart and John D. Rockefeller Jr will be interest
ing to watch, and thin dime will go on the latter
to win.
Colonel Stewart is chairman of the board of di-
rectors of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, and
is also the gentleman who displayed considerable
shady dealings in connection with the Fall-Sinclair
mess Colonel Stewards amazing inability to renlenl-
ber things when he appeared the witness stand,
only matched by his equally amazing ability to recall
them after jury had handed acqutta to Sinclair.
John D. Jr. tried hard to make the colonel tell
frank story to the senate committee and to the prose
cution in the Sinclair case but failed He did not at
that time, speak out his belief that Colonel Stewart
knew than he telling, but he strongly init
mated 1t. So much that he told the colonel if the
future brought forth certain developments, he (Rocke-
feer) would demand the coonel's resignation from
Standard Oil.
The certain Developments developed all right
When he he safe, the colonel admitted
he had received quite block of the mysterious Con-
tinenta Oil Company bonds and kept them hidden un-
til the Sinclair acquittal.
John D. Jr. good as his word and asked for
the colones resignation The colonel has initiated the
small boy, twidded his fingers to his nose at John D.
Jr and asked him to and get it if he could The
scion of the Oil King has accepted the challenge He
the colonel and is ready t. do battle to accomplish it.
While such defiance might be admirable in
who has stood four square and met the issues honest
y, in view of the colonels conduct appears moth
ing than bluff and the Rockefellers have always
been mighty handy at calling bluffs. We register the
prediction that the colonel is riding for fall and
voice the hope that it will be hard enough to shake him
into the oblivion all those connected with the Teapot
Dome scandal SO richly deserve

WAR HERO

The Cincinnati Reds have . real
war hero on their roster this
season. While some Of the major
leaguers followed the example of
other professional ball players
during the "late unpleasantness"
and obtained exemption, there were
a number who did their full bit.
There were also a flock OF young
men, then too young for the
majors, who went to France. and
have found their way into the big
baseball tent since then.
One Of them is Jim Edwards,
the rangy sOutbpaw, who was
obtained by Cincy from the
Pacific Coast last season, and
who seems to have won
place on Jack Hendricks
squad. The year he spent In
the minors has helped him .
lot, and he will be called upon
chiefly for relief work.
1t is said that Edwards has good
control, a change Of pace and some
battling curves. Every time he has
gone to the mound in the South. he
has shown up well. and word is
that he will be retained.
In addition to all his other as
sets. he has true blue courage. for,
while he will not talk about his
wartime exploits, It has been
learned that he served in France
with the United States Marines.
and did enough fine work to obtain
the Croix de Guerre.
