The Indiana battle-ground
Party Fight on Van Nuys Court Plan Foe, Gives
Picture of National Fight.

Mr.. Roosevelt opposes him, the Fed
eral administration at Washington
Will oppose him. That means that the
Federal office holders In the State will
oppose him, and also the benefciaries
OF relief and the others who are re-
ceiving money from the administra-
ton, so far as these are controlled by
Federal officials
Formidable Opposition.
The sum of these oppositions is ex-
tremely formidable-that goes with
out saying. Against 1t, Senator Van
Nuys will have the support of all
Democratic voters who oppose the
Presidents court measure, and all
Democrats who may admire Senator
Van Nuys for his fidelity to principle.
In addition Senator Van Nuys may
have the support of such parts of the
Democratic organization in the State
as may happen to be personally loyal
to him-hoW much there may be of
this, do not know.
have been speaking solely of Sena-
tor Van Nuys' struggle for renomina-
ton. II he loses that he loses every-
thing. But If he wins that he should
have good chance to win the general
election. For, obviously, in the general
election he would be supported by
many independent voters and Repub-
licans who admire his opposition to
the Presidents court measure
What have said OF Senator Van
Nuys in Indiana is true of eight other
Democratic Senator's in eight other
States. They are Democratic Sena-
tors who opposed Mr. Roosevelt's court
measure and who come up for re-
nomination next year. The outcome
Of these nine fights next year will
come close to determining the future
Of the country. For if these nine, or
approximately all Of them lose, then
Mr. Roosevelt gets a popular mandate
to go long way-and 60 long way
he certainly will.
Who Are "the People"
There is one other point, highly
important one. In the declaration
against Senator Van Nuys by the
Indiana Governor, the Governor used
the word people" He said "the peo-
pie OF Indiana will not tolerate
any one who will not give his earnest
support to the President" I imagine
that by the people" of Indiana he
meant the Democrats" Of Indiana.
But consider all the people of In
diana. Is this their position? Take
all the Republicans of Indiana, plus
all those Democrats who oppose the
court measure, plus all the independ-
ent voters who feel the same way. II
all those were brought together and
all given chance to express their
desire would they be enough to send
Mr.. Van Nuys back to the Senate?
The answer TO that question is i'm
portant for everybody to consider, not
only in Indiana but everywhere. 1t is
especially important for Republican
leaders to consider.
AT this point I merely suggest the
question. I shall discuss it later, and
think many others will discuss it.

There are fences for every purpose,
and one should always choose fences
wisely - according to the landscape
and the type of architecture of his
house. If your house is fenceless you
will enjoy looking over the pictures of
fences made by a New Jersey fence
specialist. One will be exactly right
for your house, certainly.
The conventional fence for farm and
estate in America today is the post
and rail, which graces more miles OF
highways than any other type. This
is the familiar expanse of uprights,
Joined by three or four parallel bars
made of chestnut, or locust posts with
chestnut rails, or white cedar rails with
cedar posts. They come in various
lengths of posts and rails, depending
upon where they will be used.
The picket fence is one of the least
expensive, for although it Is all wood
it costs less than wire. The pickets Of
