OYSTER BAY, Aug. 27.-Representative
Charles b. lands of the Ninth Indiana
district visited President Roosevelt at
Sycamore Hill to-day and advised him in
regard to the situation in Indiana. So
many conflicting reports regarding the
political sentiment Of Indiana, including
the verbal rainbow of the Hon. Tom Taggart,
had come to the Presidents attention re-
Gently that he desired to be informed ac-
curately concerning the drift OF things in
that State, and he invited Mr.. Lands with
that purpose in view.
The Congressman assured Mr. Roosevelt
that there was not the slightest doubt that
Indiana would go Republican by a big
majority
1T was 10000 majority last time. 1t
will be 10000, If not more, this election.
said Mr.. lands.
To the reporters upon his arrival Mr..
Lands said that it was true that the political
enthusiasm was not very warm in Indiana
at present. But that WAS 80, he declared,
because the Democrats haven't been able
to make things exciting as yet.
The indifference. he asserted. did not
argue anything against Mr.. Roosevelt's s
strength. Mr.. Landis predicted that every
State west of the Allegheny Mountains
and north of Mason and Dxon's line will
go for Roosevelt.
you people of the East said the In
diana Congressman, have no idea of the
Presidents strength out where l live or
still further West"
