an appetizing three course dinner

had suddenly disappeared, but enough
gravel was found in the sleigh to sup
ply a good sized poultry yard for a

still intact after the gravel barrage,

TRENCH LICK SPRINGS HO-
4 TEL, May 28..-Demorcatic
editors and managers, feeling that
all is over in the Governor nomi-
nation race except the shouting,
turned their attention to the sena-
torial situation in their conferences
here.
Although there are four contend
ers for this nomination, only three
seem to be receiving any mention.
They are Frederick Van Mugs, for
mer district attorney and former
state chairman: Walter Myers,
speaker Of the 1881 house and the
nominee for mayor in 1925, both of
indianapolis, and Lew OBannon,
Corydon, publisher and 1924 nomi-
nee for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
The fourth man is Bernard Shive-
~ Of Marion, former state senator,
who was co-author Of the Shively-
Spencer act, establishing the pub
lie service commission. and whose
campaign liz the main has been
directed toward the utility issue.
Van Nuys and Myers seem to hold
the center Of the stage, while inter-
est in O'Bannon is concentrated on
the question of where he will at
tempt to throw the Eighth district
vote pledged TO him if he decides
not TO 60. or sees during the ball
loting that his chances are mighty
slim.

The two indianapolis aspirantS
have been battling it out over the
state, and while Myers has been
striking for the industrial centers,
basing his main campaign on his
stand against prohibition. Van Nuys
has been seeking the support Of the
rural sections.

It goes back to 1923, when the
house speaker sought to wrest the
senatorial nomination from Stump

If O'Bannon's pledges will stick

least a complimentary vote from
the Fifth district on the first bal
lot, which means 127 votes.
After this ballot, the delegates are
expected to break and scatter.

Both Van Mugs and Myers have
been angling for the Eighth dis
trict, in event that O'Bannon de-
cides to give up the ship.
Myers has been claiming Van
derburg county'S 81 votes hands
down, but he may get little sur
prise, according to the dope.
It is said that Val Nolan, Evans
vile city attorney, has been in cor
respondence with Van Nuys and
may take a large number Of dele
gates to him.
The house Speaker also is count
ing heavily upon American Legion
support. because of his activity as
a member, but if what is told is
true, the ex-Service men care only
for the nomination of Paul v. Nc
Mutt for Governor, and are saying
two legionnaires at the head Of
the ticket is too much and may
peeve the old guard.
The Democratic senatorial fight
is a tight affair. But II the dope
heard here Is correct, Van Mugs
steadily is gaining ground.

NTHEN you look back at it, the
w motto Of the average big city

prosperity seems to have been
anything goes"
Money was easy, and everybody
was out TO get his. There was
graft in politics and there was
funny business ia the marts Of
trade. Private and public morality
descended as stock market prices
went up.
A picture Of all Of this is con-
tanned in the novel, Babylon on
the Hudson" by an anonymous
author.
This writer studies the turbu-
lence of the boom period and the
chaotic turmoil Of the depression
by following the fortunes of the
three children Of a moderately
wealthy New York merchant.
They are two brothers and a sis
ter, and when the merchant dies
an aging lawyer is left to look af-
ter them; and it is largely through
his eyes that the action is seen.
1t makes a queer picture. Most
Of the recent municipal scandals
in New York are dragged in,
thinly disguised.
Racketeers, crooked politicians,
INSCRIPTIONS financiers and shady
lawyers chase one another across the
pages in a dismaying procession.
Reading, you get the impression
Of a society grown utterly corrupt,
utterly rotten, ready to disintegrate
