DOTH parties are getting their
II share of factional discord down
in Monroe county, according to
managers there.
Dissatisfaction has been expressed
with William Weaver, veteran Re-
publican county chairman, and Ar
thur Branam, Democratic leader,
and new chieftains are expected to
be chosen in the May reorganiza-
tons, unless policy changes are eff
fected.
Greatest fault found with Weaver
is his utter conservatism and close
alliance with the standpat element.
This has alienated all with progress
sive leanings and. according to the
dope. the liberals went so far in
party heresy as to work against the
G. o. P. last year.
Although a series of meetings
has been planned to bring the va
rious factions together. many de-
clare that peace can be obtained
only through the defeat of Weaver
next spring
The name of Donald E. Bowen,
county attorney, as a compromise
selection for Republican county
chairman has been suggested. He
is we'll liked in the rural sections
and is acceptable to urban leaders.
Bowen has, however, remained mum
on all suggestions.
The Mayr- McNutt fight is caus-
ing The difficulty among the Demo-
Gratis.
Branam has been awarded the
patronage of the automobile license
branch by Secretary of State Frank
Mayr Jr., with the intention of
binding him closely to the anti
McNutt forces.
Importance of Branams position
can not be underestimate when it
is remembered that Bloomington is
the present home of Paul V. Nc
Mutt, dean of the Indiana uni
versity law school, and the leading
contender for the nomination for
Governor.
Every candidate for Office who eX-
poets to get any place in state
convention at least must have his
home county delegation pledged to
him and if the Mayr-A ckerman-
Montgomery group would succeed in
having q chairman linked with
them in charge of Monroe county,
McNutt would go into the conven-
ton hamstrung.
The McNutt forces are strongest
among the precinct committeeman
in that county and Branam soon
must decide whether he would
rather be chairman or auto license
branch manager.
Mayr and his aids, foxy Jim Car
penter, head of the license depart
ment, and L. A. Smallwood of Ooli-
tic, a branch inspector, recently
paid visit to Bloomington.
Branam arranged his Office as an
auditorium and had all the big
shot" Democrats there, but Mayr
refused to talk politics.
However, it appeared that no such
inhibition was exhibited by Carpen-
ter and Smallwood. In fact, they
seemed to have been so forceful in
their political talk that the McNutt
men have creased the Skids for the
county chairman.

BY GRETCHEN SMITH.

The city s.umbered in the drowsiness
Of a Summer midday. Even the ordi-

from the streets and silence reigned
throughout the close quarters Of a dingy
corner in the Southeast.
Only one sound could be heard
throughout the sitting sultry atmos-
phere-the ceaseless, monctonous whirr
-whirr-which came from the shah
biest house in q row of drab-colored
buildings.
A modest car drew up to the house
from which the whirr of the machine
continued to come. A young woman
got out, mounted the steps, and. with
out waiting for her knock to be an

Seamstress Absorbed in Work.
In a bare room, clean but in much
need of repair. the visitor saw the frail
figure of a woman bent over a sewing
machine. The seamstreSs was so alb
scrbsd in her work that she did not
hear the newcomer enter and started
nervously when she heard:
Good afternoon. Mrs. Gray. I've
come for my dress"
The face which was lifted from the
sewing on the machine was that OF

ravaged with fatigue, physical want,
suffering and encouragement that 1t

Hands Twisted by Pain.
The hands which held the soft silk
sports dress, fashioned in the latest
mode, were twisted and swollen with
pain. =

ANOTHER PHASE OF THE GUN

Most of US are familiar with
the usual arguments against
stringent anti-gun laws-that
they have proven unenforceable
whenever tried, that they are a
denial of constitutional rights,
and that they actually benefit
the criminal, who makes a prac
tice of breaking laws.
But there is still another side
to the problem that is of trem
endous importance-the relation
of the Gun manufacturers to ma
tional Defense, II we legislate
them out Of business now, we can
hardly expect them to keep their
factories prepared to meet need
such as that of the last war.
The efficiency of the American
troops has been largely due to
two things-the fact that, in
civil life, many of them were
familiar with firearms. and that
our arms manufacturers, cooper.
