lowing Robinson's attempt to link
leading Democrats with the oil scam

Capitol corridors for an indefinite

Senate Democrats have been dig

scandals of the past two years, until
now some of them are thoroughly
conversant C with political happen
ings in the State.
They intend to enlarge upon Rob-
inson's past connections in Indiana,
whenever he take the floor upon the
subject, and from present indica-
tons they will have plenty of op-
portunity to do so.
IndianianS Resent Tactics
Robinson was all set to speak Fri
day when the Senate adjourned be-
cause Of the death of Senator Fer
ris of Michigan. He was hurrying
to the Senate chamber with an arm
load of documents when told of
Ferris death.
He expressed disappointment, say
ing he had intended to speak on the
subject of oil scandals not only Fri
oay but Saturday.
Meanwhile there is growing re-
sentiment among the Republican
members of the Indiana delegation
against Robinsons tactics. They
feel the opportunity he is afford

ganization, to be reprinted in Indi-
ana and dwelt upon by their op-
ponents. imperiis not only Robin
sons success at the primary and

Robinson is the last man in the
Senate to lay himself open to an
attack on the subject of his own
former connections, said one In

chairman of the Public Lands Com
mittee, himself disavowed any con-
nection with Robinson in his let

curacy of the Robinson state

Senator Robinson belongs to a
faction of the Republican party
with which 1 have never been
charged, until now and by you, with
identifying myself" wrote Nye. He
said he obtained his information
regarding the New York situation
from source independent of Rob-
inSon.

boss of Indiana, is also known to
be worried about the effect of Rob-
