 Tero has been na though of vic tory among tAe Presidents followers in indiana for tbe past mon f They have realized that the best they coul.l expect under the circumstances was second place so they are bending their energy in that direction If the Dem= oer1ts didti'Gh have q speaker on the stump and if their newspapers were not putting mp q convincing fight shere would be Il reason for them Q worry as the Repnbl cans and t&e Progeessiyes are literally hammering the life out of each other.
 The Republicans have former Gov ernor J F. Hanly spe ktns twice q day. He is a bitter foe of former Senator Albert ] Beyeridge, Bull Moose nominee for governor. He is seerehng Beveridge in every speech and ie turn ng on the limelight in a manner that is diseoneer5ing to say the least from the Beverdge point of view.
