ANDERSON, Ind, Aug. IS.
Have a good time, boys, and
the Sky's the limit" was the
message of Governor Harry G.

responsibility for any forget
fulness of the eighteenth

ocrat, had heard rumors that
his political adversaries in
tended to put him 'on the spot

law during the convention.
my police department is
inadequate to handle the sit
uation. Send as many men
as you have available imme-
diately, or make the eight
zenith amendment farce" was
his wire to enforcement Officer
Britt at Indianapolis. No men
were sent. The police contin-
ued to be inadequate. The
amendment was a farce. The
Governor suggested that the
sky alone was the ultimate.

The campaign by Senator Watson
was open and candid. He sent Sec
rotary Harry Fenton of the Repub-
lican committee to various parts of
the state to campaign for Ralph
Gates, who was elected commander
by vote of 365 to 274 for White.
The senator himself got into the
matter and threatened at least one
Republican office holder with
senatorial wrath if he refused to
desert White.
Move Openly Political
The injection of the Gates can
didacy was regarded openly po-
litical. Three months ago he
pledged his support to White, only
later to become a candidate when
the Republican senators sought a
leadership that might direct Legion
matters along lines that would help
them politically.
Senator Arthur Robinson was on
the ground campaigning against
White. His real choice was not
Gates, but in the finish it was
White against political control and
political control won.
Gates is a good Republican" was
the message carried by Fenton into
various quarters.
Called McNutt's Friend
"White is friend of Paul Nc
Mutt" was the charge of Watson to
his friends in the convention. White
is a Republican.
Legionnaires who have attempted
to keep the organization out of poll
tics declare that, for the first time
in its history, it has yielded to the
pleas of politicians.
The convention has been visited
by active Republican politicians of
all degrees, from congressman to
precinct committeeman.
White had visited every part of
the state, declaring that if elected
he would wage war on loan sharks
and keep up an active campaign for
free school books. The hostility of
