1929 Party Discord Brings
Additional Hopes to
Democratic Rivals.
BY BEN STERN.

Discord In the Republican ranks
and a strengthened and confident
Democratic party are the net politi-
cal results Of 1929 in Indiana.
Party leaders conclude that a
Democratic state and county victory
in 1880 may become reality as
result, not of Democratic policies
or endeavor, but because of the
vicisSitudes which have befallen the
Republican party.
Bankruptcy of southern Indiana
state aid schools, will weigh heavily
in favor of the Democrats unless aid
is forthcoming speedily.
There will be difficulty In obtain
ing the reelection of a Republican
legislature because Of this problem.
Republican township trustees,
school superintendent and teachers
in forty-nine southern counties, will
join in the battle to repudiate a
legislature which, fully cognizant of
their financial plight, failed to give
relief during the 1929 session.
Criticism is being piled high on
the administration Of the state de-
partment of public instruction, be-
cause of what is alleged to be

lieve that she has given the stage
even a bigger and a more under
standing Characterization.
1t is necessary to realize that the
aside" puts an added burden upon
the actor because this play is all
talk and very little action. At no
time did Miss Lord confuse me in
her asides or direct conversation.
When you first meet Nina, she
is in the library of her fathers
home, a professor in small uni
versity town of New England. Nina
is all up in the air because she has
been carrying on in all kinds of
moods since Gordon, her choice
for husband, was killed in war.
She hates her father for making
her such a good virgin and not
daring to give herself to Gordon be-
fore he went to war. She thinks
that out loud in plain words and
then serves notice upon her father
and Charles Marsden, a sort of a
chap who goes through the world

longs to, that she is going to be-

child.
It is here in this act that Miss
Lord becomes the powerful actress
while Sans mother is telling her
that she must lose her baby be-
fore birth because insanity runs in
the Evans family. 1t is here that
Miss Lord reaches a high peak in
dramatic but human agony. She
must hate. She must because the
child must die.
1t is in this act that Sans mother
tells Nina that she must bear a
healthy man child for Sam and that
Sam must never know that or that
insanity runs in his family.
Sans mother tells her to pick out

child and present to her husband as
