INDIANAPOLIS, IND Nov. 2-The po-
Asfezl headquarters End hotel lobbies
were greatly crowded this morning and
evening, but It is noticeable ths! tina en-
thusiesm and discussion that prevailed St
such gatherings week ago have dIsso-
pasTed, and Instead Of noisy cheers the
hum OF many voices in low but earnest
conversation floats through the lpbniea
whispering groups occupy every corner
OF the room discussing some campsign
scheme or secret, sEd the document
looms OF the state committee IRE bGirg
rapidly emptiec Of the remnants CT ueny
tons Of printed matter, sad the clG:ks are
engaged IN msiliIg poFters ior sc-s:Ch
voters. Ore OF the expensive fest
ures OF the campaign has been
the Autographs OF the presidential ard
aubernstorial candidates on both
sides. The Republican committee has
distributed within tie stEte Cvsr &
100000 life ELS Just Autographs Of Gen
eral Harrison. Az reeult OF this iestuie
.e1nst campaign nearly every house
gSsder in Indianapolis tells his politics by
haDg'ng the picture OF Harrison CT Give
lsad conspicuoUsly Ia MS window. Ere
queDtlY every FRONT WINDOW In house

ting the city this Is probably the most
noticeable feature ot the csnpsign.
