EFFORT TO GET OUT THE VOTE
THE ONLY THING TO BE FEARED IS

Gratifying Conditions I'm the Various

of Interest.

The Republicans will begin on the second
week OF their campaign to-day. There will
be many political meetings over the State
this week, afternoon and night. Both In
diana senators will be busy in the State,
and in fact most all OF the Republican ora
tors will have something to do. 1T looks
pretty good to me-" said one Republican
campaigner Saturday night. This seems to
be the view that most of the Republican
leaders are taking.
At the State committee rooms Saturday
afternoon the officers were talking Of the
reports that had come in during the week
from the different sections. and they
seemed we'll satisfied. The feeling among
the leaders seems to be that the only thing
that can throw the Republicans down"
this year will be the failure of the voters to
get out on election day. AS some of the
orators have expressed 1t since the cam
paign opened, there Is danger of overcon-
fidence. Charles s. Hernly, former State
chairman, some time ago declared that
campaign button bearing the words 60
and Vote would be good feature for
Republicans this fall. The former chair
mans theory is that the precinct commit
teemen will do their work. the orators
will do their work, and the State COM
mittee will do its work, and all that
will remain on election day will be for the
voter to do his work. If the full vote is got
out Mr.. Hernly places the Republican ma
jority in Indiana at high figure.
The Republican members of Congress, all
of whom are up for reelection. are dig
ging in in their respective districts or
helping one another. The Republican can
didates in the Democratic districts are also
at work. People who come up from the
First district declare that there is no oc-
casion for alarm over that district. They
say Mr. Hemenway will have an increased
majority this year. In the Fifth district,
Elias s. Holiday is making winning cam
paign and has been at 1t for some time.
Although Mr.. Watsons district, the Sixth.
is so reliably Republican that 1t scarcely
needs watching. that gentleman has an eye
on 1t and is taking no chances.
In the Seventh district Mr.. Overstreets
he is In New York doing thorough work for
the Republican national congressional cam
paign committee. He has been able to Sc
cure some speakers of national Importance
for an indianapolis meeting to be held in
Tomlinson Hall on Oct. 5. Mr.. Overstreet
will be in his district about the middle of
October 1t Is understood, and will then
begin campaign that will not end until
election day. Information from the Eighth
district is to the effect that George w.
Cromer is getting stronger in his district
every day and will surely be reelected.
Representative Lands is hard at work in
the Ninth and Is making some great hits. "
Mr.. Crumpacker is stumping the Tenth
district with as much earnestness as If the
district was close instead of the Repub-
licans having majority OF several
thousand to go on. In the Eleventh, Fred
erick Lands has begun his campaign and
is making az good impression on the people
of his district. Mr.. Bricks friends I'm the
Thirteenth district are not alarmed about
his chances for reelection, notwithstand-
ing the fact that he will not carry on a de-
bate with the young man on the Democratic
ticket who has longing for Mr.. Brick S
seat in the National House of Representa-
tiyeS.
