Terre Haute. Ind, Oct Tt is an
nounced that John E. Lamb will begin
a speech making tour of Indiana in a
few days. When he was here Sunday
he denied that there was any friction
at the Chicago Bryan headquarters,
where he has been in charge, or that
he was to be superseded by Charles

which is friendly to him in this cam

of democrats. Ask any good democrat
you meet on the street how the situa-
ton is going to turn out and he Will
tell you that a Bryan landslide Is looked
for; that Marshall will be the states
next governor and that the election in

three thousand republican majority

how can you figure that Lake county
will elect any democrats, making al
due allowances? I can't see where
democrat has a chance"
More or less misunderstanding exists
regarding the naturalization laws

out before a person. who has declare,
