ELECTED DISTRICT

CITIES, BUT FACED
LITTLE TROUBLE.
Many Love FeastS Planned to
Spread Sentiment for Com
ing Campaign.

In only one of the thirteen In
diana congressional districts
where Republican conventions
were held was there any SEM
blance of a contest and the indi-
cations are that in this one-the
Fourth-the Craftsmanship likely
will be won by Jacob Bauer of
L.awrenceburg. In the twelve
other districts the election was
either by acclamation or such
maiorities as will preclude any
attempt at opposition.
In the various county conven-
tons held Yesterday there were
number OF factional fights for
county chairman, but IN most in
stances the contest ended with
victory or compromise. and now
the delegates are working to-
gether to bring about complete
harmony in each OF the districts
In a number of the cities love
feasts will be held either proceed
ing or following the district con
ventions, and these amicable
gatherings will be addressed by
party leaders.
