crops are better than they have been
in years, that stocks are on the rise,
that the balance in trade in favor
of the United States is much greater
than 1T has been recently and that the
banks are all showing increased re-
serves and deposits indicates that an
other period of prosperity is due.
There is a tendency to revive all of
the old promotion projects that were
droppeda year ago. and it is believed
that after the elections business will
be better than ever

continue to be held in the smaller
towns of the county.
Tonight there will be local organ
ization meetings in Griffith and Indi-
ana Harbor and tomorrow night there

/ of the thorough manner in which the
republicans are organized in the coun-
/ ty and of the way they are carrying
on the campaign.
There is activity in every township
in the county. and the most encourag-
| ing feature of the whole campaign is
| that the republican meetings are all be
| ing attended, while the democratic
meetings are drawing only small
/ crowds.
