who are riding the country over with
petitions calling upon their representa-

spared, if the word of those who bring
In the report can be trusted. The nee
essity of heroic work, it is said, has
caused the Hanly henchmen to scour
every nook and corner of the rural dis
trIcts to get signatures on petitions to
be sent to The capital to influence sena-
tors and representatives in their votes
for United States senator. The quiet
living farmer, who has paid little at
tentIon to the
GREAT SCRAMBLE AT THE CAPITAL
and knows little of the candidates, not
often refuses to sign petition, it is re-
lated, when presented by one with
whom he is acquainted. Almost every
Hanly man of influence not at the cap
ital, 1t is asserted, is leaving no stone
unturned to bring influence TO bear on
the legislators.
In two instances, representatives who
do not like Hanly chose not to go home
over Sunday, lest a bowling mob of
Hanlyites would lombard them with
petitions prepared in their absence

lngs say that Hsnly's machine is one of
the most complete they have ever seen
in Indiana
The other day, when the Hanly men
learned that Representative Willough-
by, of Vincennes, had said things to
lesd til I'm to believe that he would
never vote for their man, they
GOT HIM IN ROOM
and gave him characteristic talk, in
which he was told that he had better
get on the band wagon if he wanted to
run for office successfully hereafter.
Willoughby just grinned his perennial
grin, and, in speaking of the affair af.
terward, said in his drawing dry bum
OrOuS way:
"Of course if | don't vote for Hanly,
III never be able to run for office again,
but L guess mebbe they won't try to
keep fellow from voting as long as
they don't repeal the Australian ballot
law"
The Hanly forces were nervous Sat-
urday morning. Several of them went
home, Friday night, some to renew eff
forts for their chief and others to stay.
One of them remarked at the Union
station, Friday night, to one of his most
intimate friends in another camp;
"I'm going to get away before the
land slide covers HanIy up
Hitherto the Hanlyites have "claim-
ed" everything in sight and
HAVE SCONED ALLIANCES,

wagon influence would bring enough
voters in line to eleat. lie the past few
hours feelers have been thrown out in
to three of the opponents camps, show
ing that an alliance of some kind would
be welcomed

Crawford Fairbanks, of the Terre
