The estimates on the republican ma
jorities in Lake county are quite diff
ferent and vary all the way from 1000
to 5000 for the head of the ticket.
The election boards over the county
are busy getting the preliminary ar
engagements over for the balloting
There are a number of changes made
and quite a different lot of clerks and
election officers will have charge this
year.
Bedford-Bets on the results of the
election In Bedford are being wagered
at odds of to on Taft Up to last
night there had been $1,10O placed on
Taft and Watson. and very little Mar
shall money could be found and then
odds of to 1 had to be given in order
to place a wager.
Shelbyville-W. T. Wilkinson of Wis
consin and A. c. Harris of INDIANAPOLIS
addressed an audience at the skating
rink here last night. James Watson,
republican candidate for governor. had
been advertised through mistake.
F. S. Goodman. candidate for governor
on the socialist ticket, spoke at the
opera house to a good-sized audience.
Warsaw-One OF the largest meetings
of the campaign here was held Monday
night when Charles w. Miller of Co
shen, republican candidate for con-
gresham from the thirteenth district.
spoke. The speech was preceded by a
parade, participated in by the Taft club,
of Warsaw and republicans, and the
Young Mems Taft club of Goshen.
which accompanied Mr. Miller.
Brazil-B. F. Shively of South Bend
addressed a large audience of demo-
Gratis at the Majestic theater here last
evening. Mr.. Shively confined his re-
marks largely to the issues involved
in the state fight Considerable feeling
Is manifested by the republicans be-
cause the democrats booked John w.
Kern here for speech on the same
night that John l. Grifhths will speak
for the republicans
Richmond-James E. Watson will de-
liver his first address of the campaign
in Wayne county, tomorrow night. The
republicans are preparing for a big
street parade. as an indication that
Watsons strength in Richmond and
Wayne county is not on the wane, as
democrats declare. On Saturday the
democrats are expecting the biggest
fv, ~ ns<
presence of Mr.. Bryan.
Rushville-A strong and growing
sentiment for a clean election prevails
in Rush county, and the democratic
committee, through its chairman, Will
NJ. Newbold. has made repeated at
tempts to secure clean election agree
ment with the republican chairman,
Charles A. Frazee, and his committee.
No attention whatever has been given
the matter and it is now evident that
the effort will fail. Two of the leading
ministers OF the city have vigorously
denounced ballot corruption and made
emphatic appeals from their pulpits for
a fair and honest ballot.
Jeffersonville-Notic has been serv-
ed on the employees of the Indiana re-
formatory that no collections shall be
taken up there for any political object,
nor shall any subscriptions for politi-
cal purposes be listed as from the In
diana reformatory. The officers, how
ever. are not forbidden to make con-
tributions away from the place to
whichever party they choose. The
opinion of the superintendent, w. H.
Whitaker, is that a man ought to sup
port his party, but he is not particular
he says. which party 1t is, although he
prefers the republican as being his own.
Muncie-Much pleased at the show
ing they are making In the straw vote
taken in the factories and elsewhere,
the socialists of Delaware county for
the first time have put out county
ticket. The socialist leaders say they
will poll vote in the factories that
will be a surprise to the old parties.
They have named this ticket: Joseph
Wedlake. state senator; Otto Sellers
and Orville g. Overcast. representa-
tives Samuel T. Hefferline, prosecuting
attorney; Laurence B. Tarlaw, treas
urer; a. Washington Miller sheriff;
Claud G. Veal surveyor; Maxwell
Matthews, coorner; Thomas F. Coate
commissioner; Harry Williamson. Cen
ter township trustee and Joseph
Younce, township assessor
Marion-John S. Parry, Pacific coast
labor leader. in addressing laborine
men in this city Saturday night. ad-
vised them to support the democratic
ticket this campaign. but declosed al
the same time that labor was not mar
ried to democracy. He declared that
labor organizations are not partisan
and that if the democrats get in power
and forget their promises to labor. he
will then take pleasure in throwing
the hooks" into democracy as he is
now doing to republicanism. He de-
clared that legislation favorable TO the
masses of laboring people would be
demanded from the party in power IN
til labor receives just wages and recog-
milton.
