It is felt that this can be done, and Democrats all over the coun- try will join in every possible way in bringing about this much desired re- suit.
 There is much talk of Senator Fair banks becoming the candidate for the vice presidency. He would not likely resign till after the election. for the Republicans are never sure of Indiana and would rot like to run the risk of losing two senators from the same state. As things stand, now. it is said to be very probable that the state of Voorhees,, Mcdonald and old Tom Hendricks will next November again join the sisterhood of Democratic States. In that event the last will very probably have been heard of Bev- eridge.

The legislature that will choose a successor to Beveridge will be elected next November and the campaign is already on.

The Demo- crats would not consent to sit idly by and see the law go into effect, and raised money to make a vigorous fight. They instituted contests in several counties of the state and have won. The new apportionment has been de- clared unconstitutional. and the appor- tionment of the Democrats passed sev- eral years ago will be the one that will be used next fall. Indiana is always
