Districts.

season to tell much about what Is go
Ing to happen. In some Of the dis
tricts the contests among the republic
cans will probably be warm. while in
others there will not be more than
one candidate. Among the democrats
1t Ii taken as q matter Of course that
those democratic congressman who are
now serving will be renominated, and
there seems little doubt Of this case,
although other candidates are being
talked Of in some Of the districts.
The republicans are planning to
make desperate effort to regain the
ground they lost at the last election
tories In eleven out Of thirteen Indiana
districts. They believe conditions are
different now and that by next year
the state will be ready to swing its con-
gressional delegation hack into the re-
publican column. Last year disaster
overlook them and nothing could have
prevented 1t. Now they are building
the fences to keep out another flood.
First District.
Down In the First district former
Congressman John W. Foster will be
Z candidate for the republican nomin-
alton. Mr.. Foster was congressman
from the First district several years
until he was defeated last fall by John
w. Boehne, mayor OF Evansville, who
ran on the democratic ticket. Mr..
Boehne Is now serving his first term
in congress and he will be renomin-
ated next year, and the republicans
realize that the fact that Boehne is
serving his first term will make him
q formidable candidate again next
year. But Foster is fighter and
stands high in his district, and he
hopes to win again.
Second District.
The Second district was another that
ousted q republican congressman and
put in democrat, William A. Cullop,
of Vincennes, who Is now serving his
FIRST term. John c. Clancy whom the
republicans Of the Second district
elected to congress term after term
until he was defeated last fall by Gull
lop, will be q candidate for the nOmin-
alton next year Unless all signs fail.
There Is also talk Of State Senator
Oscar e. Bland of Linton, coming out
for the nomination, but Bland says no
does not think we'll of the proposition.
Bland may run again for state sena-
tor. Cullop will again be a candidate
for the democrats.
Third District.
In the Third district 1t does not
make much difference whom the re-
publicans nominate, the democratic
candidate will be elected. Congressman
Cox Is now serving his second term
from the Third district, and the demo-
Gratis will nominate him again next
year. The congressional fight in the
Third Is always tame affair, as 1t Is
also in the Fourth, where Congress
man Lincoln Dixon has been elected
by the democrats at every congress
ional election for years. Dixon is the
dean Of the Indiana delegation now,
having served more years In the
house than any other member from
this state who Is In the service now.
He will not have any opposition for
the nomination next year and whoever
the republicans nominate will be de-
feated just the Same as ever.
Firth District.
The Fifth district is a little bit
short on congressional timber. the only
name mentioned in connection with
the republican nomination up to this
time being that Of Howard Maxwell.
who ran before and was defeated.
Congressman Elias Holiday. republi-
can. represented the Fifth district for
several terms until he was defeated
last fall by Rauph Moss, the demo-
cratic former state senator. Moss will
be renominated by the democrats and
1t looks like Maxwell for the republi-
cans. This will make hot tight, for
the Fifth Is normally q republican dis
trict 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 NOM
nation from him. It Is believed here
that Thos. w. Kuhn will again be the
democratic candidate against Barnard.
He has run for congress twice and
both times he made the republican can
didate 30 some The first time he re-
duced the republican normal majority
OF 5000 down to about 1900 when he
ran against James E. Watson. Last
year he ran against Barnard and still
further reduced the majority. Sixth
district republicans are saying. hovey-
er, that conditions will be better for
them next than they have been In q
long time.
Seventh District.
Congressman Korbly will be renom-
mated by the democrats Of the Sow
euth district. He rs serving his flrst
term having defeated Congressman
