Democrats Watching Race For Con

George Vogt, of Jeffersonvle, In Limelght.

indianapolis, Nov. 13, (Specal)- INDIANAPOLIS
DmCc ats and Democrats from out over the State
who watching the congressional situation in the
Third district have virtually conceded the ncmnati,n
Of George Voig, of Jeffersonvile. The election of
James Burke Mayor Of Jefersonvle and the effective
work done by Voight in landing him in the place are
loked upon as final steps toward a complete recon-
citation Of the warning Democrats in that territory
ard from rOw on unbroken battle line against the
Republicans is promised The district is safely Demo
cratic but the divisions in the Democratic ranks have
always bee sharp that the Republicans from time
time counted strength for their ticket because of
the differences. This time, the tip has gone out there
istO be no line of demarkaton, and there is no need
for the Republicans to hope to benefit from any dsaf
fectiOn among their enemy.
vocrs CHANCES GOOD
Vog has always been listed as one of the strongest
factionaIsts in the district and power in Clark
county Jefersonville with Indianapolis Terre Haute
aad number of ether Cities in the recent municipal
campaigns was handled by the Democrats that the
Democratic lines held to have disappeared entirely
and now the big fellows in Indianapolis freely predict
that IN the next district convention Clark county will
be one solid mass of Democrats shouting and working
for Vogt.
Voigt is considered one of the best politicians in
Southern Indiana, and his work for Burke is considered
once his masterpieces since it has healed thousand
OF hurts and has cemented the Democrats of the
county 1t understood in Indianapolis that the Third
district Democrats giving Vogt his full dues in the
slI@tlol Voigt has long wanted to go to Congress,
Dl mas never felt that he would be able to pull under
the wire. 1t was announced some time ago that he
would give w. K. Cox, the present Congressman and
candidate for rejection, run for his money Here
ioore he has remained out of the race but now, it
Is understood here he is in the fight for finish and
II ne Democrats of the State were betting they
would pllce their money on him.
