Former Lieutenant Governor Ha--
gard of Lafayette, who called at the
Republican state committee rooms to
volunteer his services during the
speaking campaign, sounded a note of
warning to the campaign managers.
He said there are no good reasons to
believe the Republicans will carry the
state by 10000, as many of them are
now claiming. Il am sure that we
will carry Indiana by a comfortable
plurality" he said, ''but the Democrats
are now getting to work and there is
no chance for us to get anything like
10000. The Democrats are making
still hunt, and whenever they have
won it was by still hunt. Right
after the st. Louis convention a lot
of them declared that they would not
vote for Parker and Davis, but that
kind Of talk has died out and now you
only hear Of a Democrat occasionally
who will not support their ticket. The
were in 1876, when Tilden carried the
state. Four years ago the Democrats
were split to pieces and no one
thought they could get together. but
they did. AS l said before, I think
we will win, but the Democrats will
bear watching"
