 A letter from Representative John McDufie of Monroe County, who Is in the Middle West as one of the, speak CTS for the National Democratic ticket, sends an interesting bit of news of the campaign in Indiana, While MT, Bry- an was passing through Indiana on his recent trip through the State, Mir. Me- Dufle was sent ahead to Bradford to entertain the crowd which had gath cred there. It was estimated that 5000 people gathered to meet Mir. Bry- an. MT. McDufie addressed this gath ering while they waited for Mir. BTy- ans train.
 Speaking of the situation in Indiana, Mir McDufie says:
 ''In my opinion this State will sure- ly have a Democratic State ticket elected and the chances are excellent Dr the election of carrying the State for Bryan. The Republicans are badly frightened and they are figuring on buying the election. but do not be- lieve that their money will change the aspect of things. I will probably keep in the campaign in this section until 1t is time to go home and vote"
 MT. McDuffle was one of two speak CTS recommended to Chairman Mack of the National Campaign Committee from the First Alabama District
