say there Is more coal under the
earth in this vicinity than in any
other spot on the globe There are
II mines in this immediate locality
and the whole community depends
upon the mining industry.
II there ever was any doubt that
the miners are Senator Beveridge's
friends. that doubt was dispelled. He
was given a ROYAL greeting and there
were many indications that he stands
high IN the regard OF the men who
mine the black diamonds"
one Of the most remarkable dem
onstrations OF the campaign signal
lied the senator's advent into the
mining camps OF Indiana. This un-
usual feature was a special train ten
dered and raid for by the Sullivan
county miners 10 convey the senator
from Terre Haute TO Shelburn. This
train consisted OF seven coaches. and
when II arrived al Shelburn every
coach was filed with miners.
