This feat has attracted attention all
over Indiana. Not even at home-in

Gary-did the political wiseacres think
that it could be done. But DR.. Smith
knew otherwise and he was the COM

no childs play.
DISTRICT Is REPUBLICAN,.
Latest returns from all over the
state indicate the general demoraliza-
ton of the democratic ticket. 1t Is
conceded that in this district that a
good republican can win the race. In
a years time there has been re-
action. Should Congressman Peterson
| be a candidate for reelection he will
not have Woodrow Wilson and his is
sues to carry him through. Normally
the district is anything but demo-
cratic.

Because of his success in being twice
