VOTES.
THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER of
Sunday, October %. presents TO its
readers an impartial forecast of the Do
lltlcal situation in Indiana and in the
sixth district. This paper is owned by
John X. Mclean. great Democrat
The Cincinnati Enquirer of yester-
day in its political forecast in Indiana
says: In the Sixth district there is
a strong movement behind p. J. Lynch.
Republican. This district is normally
Republican by 5000. The Progressives
have been strong in Wayne and other
counties in the Sixth district Repre-
sentative Gray of Connersville. Demo
crat. who represents the district is
not strong with his party or with the
people: Russell. professor at Earl
ham college, is the Progressive nomi-
nee, is making an active campaign.
Gray cannot be elected unless Russell
makes big 1n-roads on the Republican
vote.
The Republicans stand fair
chance of carrying the First, Sixth and
Tenth districts. and an outside chance
of winning the Second, Fifth. Seventh
and Ninth"
1t is generally conceded that in the
Sixth congressional district the Pro
gressives will not hold 400 of their
vote of 1912. In the congressional race
of 1912 William l.. Risk Republican
candidate for congress. received in the
Sixth district. 1882 votes: Jensen
the Progressive candidate. received
1927 votes. and of this number 4.207
were in Wayne county. Those in close
touch with the political situation in
Wayne county, predict that 1000 OF
the 1000 votes given the Progressive
candidate in 1912 will vote the Repub-
lican ticket in November. 1t is not
generally known that the Progressive
nominee for congress in the Sixth dis
trict ran third in the race of 1872
There are now those who predict that
the Progressive vote for congressman
will be less in the district outside OF
Wayne county than the number re-
| ceived in Wayne county. THE RACE
FOR CONGRESSMAN IN THE. SIXTH
DISTRICT HAS NARROWED DOWN
TO A RACE BETWEEN FINLY
GRAY. DEMOCRAT. AND P. J.
LYNCH, REPUBLICAN,
Two years ago the total Republican
vote cast for candidates for congress
in Indiana was 166.69S. Progressive
1904. These votes show conclusive
ly that the Progressive party ran third
in the matter of its candidates for con-
gress in 1912.
While Albert J. Beveridge. Progress
sive nominee for United States sena
tor is popular and is making a vigor-
Gus campaign, it is not believed by
careful and unprecedented observers
that he will be nearly as strong as he
was two years ago. While the voters
of Indiana have a direct vote for the
United States senators. Mr.. Beverage
when a candidate for the governor
ship two years ago. received the direct
vote of the people, it is not supposed
that he will gain any because OF the
fact that we have senators elected by,
the direct vote of the people.
THE BIG ISSUE IN THIS CAM

INDUSTRIAL PROBLEM: BUSINESS
MEN WHOSE BUSINESS HOUSES
ARE CLOSED AND FACTORY MEN

RALLYING TO THE SUPPORT OF
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. BELLEV-
