The Rules
1. The idea OF letter golf is to
change one word to another and
do it in par, a given number of
strokes. Thus, to change COW to
HEN, in three strokes, COW, HOW,
HEW, HEN.
2. You can change only one let
ter at a time.
3. You must have a complete
word, of common usage, for each
jump. Slang words and abbrevia-
tons don't count.
&. The order of letters cannot be
changed.

If the Republican party in IN
diana is Sc far gone as to permit
the Democratic party leaders to
name their candidates and map
out their campaign, then it should
go the rest of the way and hiber-
nate a sufficient length Of time to
recuperate. If Mr.. Hoover and
Mr.. Lowden care to come before
the Indiana primary that is their
business, even if it is poor poll
tics. The leaders of the Demo-
cratic party are all down on their
marrow bones hoping and trusting
that Hoover and Lowden will do
that very thing. Trying to en-
tangle Senator Watson in a con-
troversy with these men and with
his party in Indiana is the goal
being sought by the opposition.
Senator Watson is certainly too
smart to play the part of the fly
to the spider.
