Raymond. in his daily letter to the

political situation in Indiana and ir
quoting a leading indianapolis politi-
clan as to the probability of some other
republican filing United States Senator
Hemenways place in the senate. says,
IF he (Hemenway) were beaten in
the caucus, the choice ought to fail
either on Harry New, who has been
the best republican organizer in the
state, or on Congressman Crumpacker
of Valparaiso, who is now by all odds
the ablest man In the Indiana deIega-
tion.-
The people of the Tenth district have
always thought Crumpacker the best
man in the Indiana 6ielegatier but TO.
have that opinion confirmed from down
state politicians Is CONF plln,snt.s af
which the whole Tenth district may be
proud.
Hon. E. D. Crumpacker, the man who
is thus prominently mentioned for the
great office of United States senator
from Indiana will speak to the people
of Hammond this evening in Brooks

UndeniabIy Big Man.
Mr.. Crumpacker is undeniably one of
the big men of congress and his views
on the issues of the day will be inter-
esting in that he has gained the proud
position as the leader of the Indiana
delegation through the exposition OF
| them.
Mr.. Crumpacker is now in a position
to do more for his constituents than he
has been able to do at any other time
| during his service in congress. He has
made many valuable friends in congress
and as a member of the Ways and
Means committee his influence in con-
gress will be greater than ever.
The recognition of Mr.. Crumpacker's s
ability has come only after years of
effort in the interestAof his constituents.

men in the middle west. Mr.. Crum-
