IaIl by Ralph Moss, the democratic
farmer state senator Moss will be re-
nominated by the democrats and IL
looks like Maxwell for the republicans.
This will make a hot fight, for the
fifth is normally a republican district.
The name of Congressman W. E.
Barnard, of New CASTLE is the only one
heard mentioned here in connection
with the republican nomination in the
sixth district. Apparently he has made
good during his first term and so far
as can be seen from here there is no
one who wishes to undertake to wrest
the nomination from him 1t is be-
heved here that Thomas W. Kuhn will
again be the democratic candidate
against Barnard. He has run for con-
gress twice and both times he made
the republican candidate go some. The
first time he reduced the republican
normal majority OF 5000 down to about
1900 when he ran against James f.
Watson. Last year he ran against
Barnard and still further reduced the
majority. Sixth district republicans
are saying. however, that conditions
will be better next year for them than
they have been in a long time.
Congressman Korbly will be renon-
enth district He is serving his first
term. having defeated Congressman
Jesse Overstreet last fall by a slender
majority. Overstreet will probably be
out for nomination again next wear.
and his is the only name mentioned
thus far.
In the eighth district the Lord only
knows who Will be nominated bv the
"a -
man Adair. Miles Furnass, represen-
tative from Randolph county, is about
to become a candidate for the nou1fna-
ton, and it IS understood that State
Senator Newton B. Hawkins, of Union
City, also will go after It again He
ran against Adair last fall
The ninth presents a peculiar situa-
ton. The democrats of course will re-
nominate Congressman Morrison. The
republicans have no avowed candidate
at this time, and so far as can be
learned the only one who is thinking
seriously Of coming out for 1t Is Ever
EFT f. Neal. Of NobesvilIe. and ne Ia
not working actively on the Job at
present. a large crop Of candidates
may appear before the time comes to
make the nomination, but they are
I htSPAAlB Qu4NA INV. OiQlLaT4IEF the
ninth is a strong republican district.
1t is not believed to be possible for
any republican to take the nomination
away from Congressman Crumpacker
in the tenth Senate Senator VIII r.
Wood. Of Lafayette. has been men
/ toned as a likely candidate, and IT is
! admitted that he would be about the
most formidable candidate who could
! come out against Crumpacker But
/ Crumpacker has an organization in his
district that any man could be proud
/ Of. He is one Of the only two repub-
/ lican congressman from Indiana, and
! this has given him a strong prestige
with the administration that has re-
suited in strengthening his fences in
/ his own district There is now no rea-
son to doubt that Crumpacker will be
J re-nominated to succeed himself and
that he will be elected by the usual big
majority.
Congressman Cline will be nominated
again in the Twelfth by the demo-
Gratis. unless all signs fail. He is
serving his first term. and is said to
be doing no better nor no worse than
any other first termer. II seems to be
! generally accepted that former Con-
gresham Glhams will be out for the
| republican nomination and up TO this
time no other aspirant has shown up.
