'THIEYoTELL AE' ~ s. J
Gs~S1v T5F5=ITIWg>UIN

In January of this year, when
Bert was ready to announce for
the nomination, his dear friend"
Senator Jim had been putting his
feet to the fire for months TO get
him to resign as national commit
teeman.
On Feb. IS this column said:
1T looks very much as if the
well-known double-not play, but
cross-may be put into effect with
malice aforethought against Thur
man. who last week resigned the
national committee post to vie for
the Republican nomination for
Governor.
mot that double cross is such
strange thing in Indiana politics,
but it generally had been conceded
that so astute politician as Uncle
Bert never would become its victim.
Participants in the move are
said to the two Jims of Indiana
Republican politics-Senator Jim
Watson and Ex-Governor Jim Good
rich.
They whisper it in Gath that
Governor jim has run up quite a
telephone bill persuading Senator
Jim that he should drop his faith
full adherent of years, Thurman,
and sponsor the Governor race of
Raymond Springer of Connersville,
ex-circuit judge and ex-state COM
mander of the American Legion"
And so on.
Well, it has come to pass, as doped
on Feb. 26.
The gentleman has made mo-
tion to change the title of Indiana'S
senior senator from Promising
Jim" to Double Crossing jim" Do
we hear a second? There is
chorus Of seconds.
A motion to make it unanimous
has been presented and, inasmuch
as there be no dissenting vote, the
chair orders it spread of record.

broken hearted, not because he

nomination, but because he was
failed by a senator for whom he
gave the best efforts of his life.
Delegates to the Republican state
convention, to whom the ordinary
ties of friendship and gratitude
mean something, today verbally
we're pillorying Senator James E.
Watson, who until yesterday was
known familiarly as Promising
jim" but who, from now on, will
be hailed as Double Crossing Jim. "
In 1923, when Watson determined
on another try for the presidency,
he called in his devoted friend, M.
Bert Thurman, and asked him to
manage his campaign.
Thurman, who already had begun
work upon his own drive for Gov
ernor, laid aside his own ambitions
and answered the call of the man
he idolized
At that time Watson, they tell
me, promised Bert that he would
back him for the Governor nomi-
nation four years hence.
Gullble Bert believed the man
whom he Worshiped, forgetting for
the nonce that it was Promising
Jim" who spoke.
OF the presidential campaign, it
is enough to say that, no matter
how easily fooled the people of the
nation may be at times, they
couldn't swallow Watson.
From time to time during tie en-
suing four years, Promising jim"
promised Bert that he would be
there pitching for him when 1882
rolled around.

DISMISSAL OF
UTILITY'S PLEA
TO Be ASKED
Singleton Writes Order on
Power Loop Plan for
Northern Indiana.
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY


Dismissal Of the Northern Indiana
Power Company petition to establish
central Indiana power loop with
standardized rates, similar to one
established temporarily in southern
Indiana, was to be asked of public
service commissioners today.
The dismissal order was written
by Commissioner Frank Singleton,
following attempt Of the commits
sion to get the insult company to
withdraw the petition.
The Northern Indiana Power
Company supplies 1875 communities
and rural areas in central Indiana
with electricity Among the larger
towns sre Kokonno. pobleSville
Rochester, Wabash, Clinton, Mar
tinsville, Huntington, Sullivan,
Jasonville, Greencastle and Attica.
Cuthbertson to Object
Opposition TO the dismissal petit
ton is expected to be voiced by
Commissioner Harry x. Cuthbert-
son, who obtained passage for the
order establishing the south" syS-
TEN.
Chairman John w. McCardle may
join Cuthbertson, and, If passed, the
order likely will be supported by
Commissioners Singleton, Howell,
Ellis and Jere West.
West recently has switched from
McCardle's leadership and joined
with Ellis and Singleton, convert
ing the minority membership of the
commission into a majority.
In the dismissal order, Singleton
cites the Martinsville decision of the
federal court, which sets up the 10
cal community as the unit in rate
making.
Quotes Wabash Decision
He also quotes from a recent de-
cision of the Wabash circuit court
in the North Manchester case in
which the right of a local commun-
ity to cut in on big power loop
with municipal ownership is upheld.
Originally, the Northern Indiana
Power petition was assigned by
McCardle to Cuthbertson. Upon
objection, voiced by Ellis, it was re-
assigned 10 Singleton.
Ellis objection was based on the
fact that Singleton already had
been assigned rate reduction petit
tions filed from various COM
munities involved in the petition.
The dismissal order declares that
to approve would mean increased
revenues for the Indiana Power
Company.
