That South Bend does not face a

Rumors TO the effect that the supply
was growing scarce and that jump in
prices might be expected any day

likewise dried up from the protract-

in even fair condition il is necessary
to keep them well fed during the

sive members of the party Will make
a number OF speeches in Indiana dur
ing September and October. 1t is not
known yet whether James +. Watson
and j. Frank Hanly will take promi-
nent parts in the campaign for the
republican party. Hays has been tell
ing the masses of his party that the
old time leaders like Watson, Hem
minway and Fairbanks are no longer
in charge of the organization but it
remains to be seen whether they are
called upon for a great many speech
eS.
on the progressive side, Beveridge
will do most of the speaking, but he
Will have number of very COM
petent associates as more than 200
men have written TO Chairman Toner
that they will participate in the
speaking campaign. Beverage expects
Roosevelt to deliver number of
speeches in Indiana but il is not GER
tain that he will come.
1t is admitted, by men we'll inform
ed, that there is no other state in the
union where the progressive party is
so well organized as il is in Indiana
and where il will give a better ac-
count of itself than in this state. Re
publicans, while doing all they can to
discourage and disOrganize the pro-
gresSiVes, admit in private that the
number of progressives who have re-
turned to the republican party is not
as great as has been represented. The
understanding now is that the speech
making campaign will be opened
about the second week in Septemb Der
by all parties.
