ton, because to do so would drive all
or the temperance voters out of their
party.
Failed at Every Turn.
They cannot jump on the Republi-
cans in Congress because of the heavy
appropriations. The very minute that
the Democrats start in that direction,
the Republicans will show that the
Democratic members of Congress were
just as greedy in their efforts to get
the pork barrel' bill through Con-
gress as were the Republicans. Every
Democrat that was able to do SO Slip
ped into this bill an appropriation for
a public building somewhere in his dis
trict. The story came from Washing
ton that Congressman Cullop, Demo-
crat, from the Second Indiana district,
! wanted $1O5 900 for federal building
at Washington, Indiana. He feared at
the last minute that the committee
| would not put in the item and that he
would lose out, so he went to the COM
mittee and informed it that unless the
bill contained an appropriation for a
building at Washington, he would
start filibuster and keep it up until
| the close of the session and that he
would prevent Congress from passing
any public buildings bill of any kind.
This brought the answer, and he got
$4,000 for the Washington building.
Therefore, there is considerable spec
ulation as to what the Democrats will
use as campaign material when they
get their press bureau in full swing.
OF course, they have some idea of what
they will do, but to the innocent by
stander it is not apparent.
Expects a Large Vote.
One of the leading Republicans Of
the State said yesterday that the talk
about big stay-at-home vote this year
will not pan out. Il have heard some
! men say that there would be large
number of farmers who would not vote
this year. but I do not believe It," he
said. THE farmers are not disaffected
politically. There is one thing that
will make them come out and vote and
that is the temperance question. The
returns from the various local option
elections held throughout the state
have shown that the farmers favor the
law. 1t is the farmer vote that has
given the county option law and its
heavy support in the different coun-
ties. Now, If the farmers of the state
! find that there is the slightest danger
OF the Democrats carrying the state
this year and controlling the legisla.
ture, they will turn out and vote the
! N &;,l.o
the Democrats carry the state it means
the repeal of the county option law.
and the farmers will not stand for
that. This is one Of the main reasons
why l believe there will be heavy
vote this fall
Senator Beveridge will make two
speeches before he leaves for Dublin
| N. H, to spend his vacation with his
family. One will be an address at the
dedication of a Polish church in this
city, and the other will be a Fourth OF
July speech at Anderson. There will
or course. be no politics in his speech
at the church affair, but 1t Is believed
that he will insert little politics in
| his Anderson speech. 1t would be a
difficult matter for him to make Z
patriotic speech without having lit
tie something to say on public affairs
though it would undoubtedly be Of q
non-partisan nature.
Much interest Shown.
Much interest is manifested in the
conference which will be held ere on
Friday of this week by State Chairman
Lee and the Republican candidates for
Congress. 1t Is understood that all OF
the candidates who have already been
nominated will be present at the coz
ference. including the nominee of the
Fifth district convention which will be
held at Martinsville today. It is the
purpose Of the State chairman to take
up with the nominees the question OF
the conduct Of the congressional cam
paign in this state this year. They all
