congressman from this dis |
trict, having defeated Jesse Over |
street last year. 1t is said that Over |
street will not be a candidate again,
but he may get into the race. Linton
Cox, of this city, is an avowed candi-
date for the nomination, and he will
probably be nominated. He was
member OF the senate for two terms
and was the father of the Indianapolis
sixty-cent gas ordinance, which made
him popular in this city. Korbly got
in bad a few months ago by a speech
he made in which he aroused relig-
ious feeling. He is a Catholic and he
was quoted as saying that the time
was not far distant when a Catholic
would be elected president. He de-
MED that he made this prediction and
declared that he was misguided. but
just the same it is being used against
him, and it was one of the things that
led to the defeat of Charles A. Gauss,
democratic candidate for mayor of In
dianapolis, who also is a Catholic.
Neal Takes the Field.
E. E. Neal, of Noblesville. has an
nounced himself as candidate for
the republican congressional nomin-
alton in the ninth district. He is the
only one in the race thus far. but
there may be others later on. Neal
says in his announcement that he
finds conditions in the party harmon
ious, and that he believes the ninth
district will go republican by at least
1000. Last year Martin Morrison. of
Frankfort, a democrat, was elected,
defeating Congressman Charles B.
Lands. Morrison has not been sett-
ing the world Attire, and the republi-
| cans feel that conditions are ripe for
them to clean up in the ninth.
The Thirteenth, naturally Repub-
lican district, will also be battle

vices received here. Whatever of
party troubles there have been up
there in the past, it is said. have been
cleared away, and the party is said
to be in good shape. The Republicans
Of the Thirteenth are arranging for a
district love feast, and it is thought
|
some news as to the plans for next
years campaign.
