L. known double-not play, but
cross-may be put into effect with
malice aforethorght against M. Bert
Thurman, who last week resigned
the national committee post to vie
for the Republican nomination for
Governor.
Not that a double cross is such a
strange thing in Indiana politics,
but it generally had been conceded
that so astute a politician as Uncle
Bert" never would become its
victim.
Participants in the are said
to be the two Jims of Indiana Re-
publican politics-Senator Jim Wat
son and exc Governor Jim Goodrich.
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 Pay
mond Springer of Connersville, x
circuit judge and eX-State command
er of the American Legion.
n II II
Springer has made no gestures
(openIy) toward the nomination. In
fact, the dope has been that he is
considering becoming either a can
didate for the nomination for at
torney-general or congressman from
the new Tenth district.
Goodrich's principal argument, it
is reported, is that from all appear
ance Paul v. McNutt, former ma
tional commander of the Legion, is
to be the Democratic Governor
nominee and that it would be good
politics to run a well-known Legion
naire agin' him.
This would strengthen the ticket
with which Senator jim must run
for reelection in November, it is
pointed out.
Watson long has been friendly to
Springer and, with his usual in
ability to say mo-" has been toy
ing" with the idea.
In fact, it is declared openly that
Senator Jim is doing very little
toying" but really is considering
seriously the proposition.

Meanwhile, Ralph Gates of Co

mander of the Legion in September
on a. promise to keep the Legion
out of politics" held a little gather
ing at the Columbia Club Sunday
at which we're present active Re-
publicans of the organization, when
the Springer candidacy was sprung.
OF course Thurman isn't sitting
back twiddling his thumbs, but he
isn't very active becadse he depends
a great deal upon the feeling of OBJ
legation which Watson should cher
ish for him. Principally because
Thurman took himself out of the
1928 Governor race to manage the
Senator's ~favorite son campaign for
President.
Depending on Watson's feeling of
obligation hasn't made many work
erS fat, points out the keeper of the
political records.
