WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-If Judge Lowry could
hear some of the comments made by wellknown
Democrats from Indiana now in this city upon
his proposed contest of Captain Whites seat he
would not feel proud of his enterprise. There is
not one but pronounces it the most garing eff
frontery known to Hooser politics. One from
the Judges district observed to-day, and his re-
mark indicates the general trend of what others
say:
'It occurs to me that a man of Lowry's age,
and one who has received much at the hands
of the voters of Allen county, would have at
least a lit OF modesty. He ought to know that

told that he is not wanted going off to solicit
police force to shove his way in. Gentlemen

him, they would have said so when they were
asked TO express their wishes. Lowry has not
the slightest chance Of being successful in his
contest"

any man I know of in the State. and has
wheedled away all his chances. He can only
practice law now. No longer will he be stands
ard-bearer."
Representative Owen says the First district,
by the successes just won there and the issues
raised. which cannot be eliminated from future
campaigns, is irredeemably Republican as loEg
as good men are. put forward by the party Mr..
Hovev will come to Washington with prestige
which will, with his eminent qualities, insure an

In turn, Mr.. Owen has been commended for
his gallant race and success in bringing the
Tenth district up to point it has never reached
before in Republican majority. 1t is conceded
that he won as much on personal worth as upon
political vantage ground. 1t is believed that fut-
ure Congresses will not have less Republican
representation from Indiana than the Fiftieth

All of the Indiana legislators except General
Browne and Major Steele are expected here at the
