Bust-up Of the plot to destroy Sen
ator Van Nuys is one Of the most SEN
sational political upsets of the era.
The same Gov. Townsend who, a year
ago on the White House steps, fresh
from q presidential audience, publicly
read Van Nuys out of the party. now
as publicly invites him to become a
candidate for denomination at the
State convention on July IL. Three
factors impelled the Hoosier New Deal
outfit suddenly to see the light-(D
failure of the Republicans to nominate
vulnerable Old Guardsman Jim Wat
son for the Senate: (2) Van Nuys'
determination to run as an inde-
pendent Democrat; and 90 the readi-
ness Of seven or eight conservative
Democratic Senators, In addition to
Republican Hiram johnson, to stump
Indiana for Van Nuys. Sensing prob
able g. o. p. victory in a pivotal
State. with 1910 in the ofing. the
New Deal, clearly deciding that dis
cretion is the better part of valor, will
now let Van Nuys take his case before
the party convention at Indianapolis
without the curse Of administration
disapproval. It is great and glorious
victory that Frederick Van Nuys has
won. even in the improbable event
that denomination is denied him next
week. History may record that 1t
saved the Democratic party from dis
ruption.
Gov. McNutt's long distance instruc-
tions from Manila to Straw Boss Gov.
Townsend caused the about-face on
Van Nuys. McNutt wants a united
