NEW ORLEANS, La, December 30
The end of 1888 finds Louisiana
seeking a Statewide political turnover
and New Orleans experiencing probably
the hottest mayoralty campaign in its
history.
For the first time since late in 1880
the Choctaw Club and its Old Regular
organization, which compares in New
Orleans with New York'S Tammany
Hall, and Senator Huey p Longs po-
litical machine are at odds. The Old
Regulars have placed Mayor T. Semmes
Walmsley in the field for reelection,
and Senator Longs machine is support
ing john Klorer, until 10 days ago the
chief engineer of the Orleans Levee
Board, for mayor.
Francis Williams, opponent OF the
Long machine since 1925, heads a ticket
of candidates for city Offices who are
sllied with neither political organiza-
tion.
Mayor Walmsley's violent break with
Senator Long came unexpectedly after
many citizens here were inclined to be-
lieve that the Old Regular forces and
the Long machine would continue their
combination In support OF Walmsley's
candidacy.
Long Seen as Handicap.
Two reasons are offered by members
of the two organizations as to the cause
of the break. The first is that Mayor
Walmsley, fearing the swing to the
Williams candidacy, which became
manifest when his commission council
ticket was announced, desired to "un-
load" Senator Long because he was
handicaping him. particularly among
New orleans independent voters: the
second Is that Senator Long and the
mayor could not agree on candidate
for district attorney on the combina.
ton Long-Old Regular ticket.

CHANGES EFFECTED
IN INDIANA LAWS
Gov. MCNutt Controls LegiS-
Iature and Steps Up to
Party Leadership.
BY HAROLD c. FEIGHTNER,
nj tci, tru

INDIANAPOLIS Ind, December 80.
When Indiana closed Its books on
1888 its citizens could look back on an
unprecedented year in which govern
ment had undergone an almost complete
change.
The State government as it exists to-
day bears little resemblance to the one
built up by the forefathers. The COM
ing year, bringing with it a legislative
election, will determine whether the
new form will be permitted to stand.
Within the year the State, under the
leadership of Gov. Paul v. McNutt, who
verSity School Of Law into the State
house, has adopted a gross income tax,
liquor control, co-ordinated welfare,
voters permanent registration, central
lied governmental departments, STAN
ardized city and county salaries and a
model banking law.
Controversy Over Patronage.
AL have been the subject of more or
less controversy, but the main storm
that has swirled around the McNutt ad-
miniStration has been largely due to pa
Democrats filed applications for the
5000 jobs the State had to give out,
and naturally there were many dkap-
pointments
The Governor, young and said to be
ambitious for further political honors,
not only held his control over the Legis-
lature, as was illustrated when a move
ment to force a special session died
precipitately, but stepped up to the
party leadership when through a COM
bination effected with Senator Fred
erick Van Nuys, control was gained of
the Democratic State Committee.
The closing months of the year saw
the Governor and Senator break with
the State chairman, R. Earl Peters, only
to find him bounding back with a can
didacy for the United States senator
ship nomination The big fight next
year will center around Peters and some
opponent to be designated later.
With the State government almost
completely revolutionized Hoosiers found
Washington through emergency meas
ures coming in closer contact with them
than ever before. The N. R. A., the A.

rush Of Christmas business that many
believe the pump has been ,1 primed and

The year promises to be active po-
1itically, with the Republicans hoping
to stage comeback. Primaries will be
held in May to select candidates for
city, county and legislative Offices. Then
will follow State conventions to nomi-
nate candidates for United States Sen

In Knoxville the response to the re-

basis for the petition is the efforts Of

HARRISBURG, Pa, December 3d.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on
Tuesday will become the States newest
and best known chain store merchant.
Through 240 State stores, it will have
a monopoly of the legal sale of liquor
by the bottle and case. Approximately
5000 licensed hotels, clubs and res
taurants, which have dispensed all
liquor since December 5, may sell
packaged liquor until midnight tonight,
but in the future are restricted to sales
for consumption on the premises.
Acting with speed seldom associated
with governmental procedure, the new
State Liquor Control Board has set up
the repeal beverage merchandising sys-
tenn in less than four weeks. While
licensing the private dispensers for
immediate sales, it allotted the num-
Der Of stores to the various cities and
towns, selected the sites and signed
leases, awarded contracts to remodel
the storerooms at once, and bought the
liquor to stock the store shelves for
the opening Tuesday morning. From
100000 applicants, it selected 1000 en-
ployeS by the first civil service exami-
nation ever held for persons on the
State pay roll.
Plans to Get Rich Quick.
The State is going into the liquo-
business with frank admissions of get
Iich-quick ambitions. Although the
States fiscal officers have been dubious
about estimates Of revenue eve from liquor
600 during December-the Legislature
appropriated S72,0O0,OOO from the ex-
pected tax and State store profits for
the next II months. The money was
earmarked for unemployment relief, old
age assistance, emergency aid for
schools, a State building program, and
to replace, a tax on interest-bearing
bank accounts. If PennSylVanianS'
thirstS fail to keep pace with the treas
ury's needs, these grants viii be abated
proportionately.
Proposed prices in the State stores
have been assailed bitterly as too high,
as revealing official greed for huge reve-
nues and as unlikely to put the boot
logger out OF business. The tentative
price list, revised several times in the
last two weeks. calls for charges of
$3.50 to 81 a quart for bonded whisky,
an average of $3.50 a quart for whisky
blends, 65 cents to 1925 for gins. 80
cents to 50 for wines and So to 81 a
bottle for champagnes.
Lower Prices Promised.
The Liquor Control Board has PROM
ised lower prices when larger liquor
supplies permit it to purchase more
favorably.
Sentiment in the State is by no
means unanimous regarding the State
store plan, and State monopoly versus
licensed dealers is likely to be an issue

~OLUMBUS Ohio, December 30
Though many of the Demo-

~ cluding some in his own home
town of Cleveland, opposed his
plan, Senator Robert j. Bulkley got
exactly what he wanted in the new
Ohio liquor control law. Though Gov.
White came into line with the Sena-
tors ideas on the subject early in the
controversy, his special commission
charged with drafting the new law,
made a report that had to be re-
vamped.
At one point in the administration
of the law trouble is generally expected.
1t is that provision by which hotels,
restaurants and clubs may sell by the
drink, to be consumed on the premises.
Difficulty in defining what hotels, res
taurants and clubs are. within the
meaning of the law. is foreseen. IN
der the State 3.2-per-cent- law,
restaurants sprang up like mushrooms
everywhere-the new legal beverage
being sold ostensibly to be consumed
with food, but many were in reality
saloons. The same thing will probably
be done with regard to the sale of
hard liquors under the new law. The
State enforcement board will find it
hard to draw the line between the
legitimate hotels, restaurants and clubs
and those whose chief business will be
the sale of liquors.

NEW YORK, December 30.-An op-
timistic outlook for the new year,
founded on such specific factors as the
sharp increase In retail sales here dur
ing the Christmas holidays, the eco
nomic benefits brought about by repeal
and the general gusineSS upturn evident
in virtually all lines during recen MT
months, is prevalent among virtually all
classes from laborers to the best in
formed business men.
1t has been years since there has been
such free spending in the metropolitan
area as during the last 80 days. Al
though repeal undoubtedly has some
thing to do with it, the fact that there
Is more money in circulation, more
evenly distributed among the working
classes, is believed to have been the
major reason for the definite better
ment of business.
Due to the N. R. A., the c. W. A.
and the more permanent public works
projects now under construction, there
are at least 100000 more persons re-
ceiving regular wages here now than a
year ago. Also. there has been a mod
crate but general rise in the wage level
since last March. In fact, this mass

is greater today than at any time in

any since the start of the depression.
