aud the holders OF positions In the rest
Of the state. Seven counties have
been selected as the real battle
ground. The other 81 counter are ex-
peoied to offset each other, the Repub-
leAn losses in some places being made |
| up by Republican Rains 10 Others and |
Democratic gains in ons section peutral-

campaign, the Republicans leaders be-
lisve, will he sufficient 10 maintain the |
ststu ono nj the 81 oonLtles aud bring |

The other seven counties, containing
considerably more than o.e fifth Of the
voting strength Of the stat gave Cover
cor HoAdly his maj ,rity last year and are
to be mauaged by C0luuNl Dudley on the
IGdiana plan. A specisl osnvHsa or poll
ing OF them has beeu going on for week,
aud inaide OF week Colonel Dndlsy will
bs able to determine Just how much
money II will require to convert the Demo

is to be out down to approximately 500
Il Democratic, Montgomery to 1900 and
Butler to 1900. This would give q Re

Is $1,000, or just what the Republican press
y simultaneously claimed duriag the clos.

"se eminent before the close OF the presei
a.. week, or very early next week at u
oie latest. He will make an eloquent al
az searching appeal to the country for Il

factor in the contest.
