Senator Robinson, smart
lash of reputation of his inf
committee, may regard the p
yesterday as "a closed incident
Many Indiana leaders of
the party do not share the
senator's views and believe he
should be given a little more
disciplining for his temerity in try
ing to GUST the leadership of the
state committee and install a set of
his own choosing.
LII Arthur'S" unsuccessful at
tempt to elect his own chairman
and vice-chairman didn't get over
big and when on the eve of the
state committee. he launched new
TRADE from Washington. he in
creased the antagonism to his
cause.
Admitting he based his broa dside
on ugly rumors and refusing 10
elaborate on them, the senator de-
manded the custer of Chairman
Don 3. Irwin. Frankfort. and
charged him with bipartisan tie
up with the McNutt- Greenlee-M Nc
Hale Democratic ring.
Irwin Promptly Renamed.
This was the final straw.
The committee reelected Irwin.
Mrs. Beryl Holland, vice-chalrman;
Burrell Wright. treasurer. and Harry
c. Fenton. secretary, unanimously,
the Robinson drive collapsing COM
pletely when a pre-committee meet
ing canvass disclosed he could not
hope to control more than eight or
nine votes at most.
Expressions of resentment at the
Robinson bipartisan tieup" charges
we're general.
The Khan label was slapped on
the Robinson cause by Henry w.
Marshall. Lafayette publisher. and
one of the outstanding Republican
leaders in Indiana.

statement I ever heard emanates
from a candidate unopposed for re-
election said Marshall of the BIZ
partisan tieup charge.
"IH Hold My Nose"
1t seems to have been engineered
by small coterie of time lead
ers in the D. c. Stephenson era
who are attempting to stage a come
back in the Republican party. 1t
should be resented by all right
thinking Republicans"
The reaction of another equally
prominent Republican leader-some-
what deleted in vigor-waS equally
condemnatory.
The silliest. dirtieSt and most
so-an-so trick 1 ever heard Of" he
said. Why. I'll have to hold my
nose if I vote for that so-snd-so in
the fall"
Upshot Of the general resentment
in the party seems to be that OPP
position-poSsiblv Frederick Lands.

inson.
Delegates 10 Re Checked
However. before a candidate is
put in the field against Robinson.
there will be 4 check of delegates to
determine if they share the resent
ment of the Republican leaders.
When delegate candidates. were
fled, It was not suspected that Rob
inson would be opposed. Hence. I'M
opposed Robinson delegate states
were filed in many cases.
When the Robinson faction saw it
was defeated yesterday, it attempted
to get the committee to go on record
favoring the Robinson denomination
without opposition in the conven-
ton. This move lost because the
committee felt it could not indorSe
candidates. but a motion was
passed commencing the senator for
his fight for constitutional govern
ment."
Conspicuous before the committee
meeting was the presence of George

Cap Goes Anti Robinson
He has been listed hitherto as q
Robinson man because he Is credit
ed with putting Robinson where he
Is today. but Lii Arthur" couldn't
get one of the four votes from the
Eleventh district and the Twelfth
district, In which Marion county is
located.
The broad smile usually worn by
Pleas Greenlee, state adminiStra-
ton patronage secretary, was broad
er today because of the administra-
tons complete victory in the party
district organizations yesterday.
Only in the Fourth district. home
of r. Earl Peters. whom the admin
istration is determined to beat for
United States senator. was there an
election regarded as unfavorable TO
the administration and hence, pro-
Peters.

of Governor McNutt. was reelected
chairman, but Mrs Clara Parrot,
