PROSPECTS OF lYNCH'S
ELECTION GROW BRIGHT
En- ALL THE Time
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. q, 1914.


That Patrick J. Lynch OF New Cas-
tie, Republican nominee for congress
in the Sixth district, is gaining ground
rapidly throughout the district and
more particularly in Wayne county,
was the statement Of Wayne county
former Progressive who called at Re-
publican state headquarters today.
Il happened to be in Union, Frank
lin and Fayette counties when Mr.
Lynch visited them" said the speaker,
who declined to permit the use of his
name, and it was the universal opin-
ion that his meetings there eclipsed
anything of the kind held in those
counties in many years. 1 was at
Shelbyville last Saturday when Ebert
Russell, the Bull Moose nominee for
congress, came into that county, and
was surprised at the poor showing he
made. Two years ago l voted the Pro-
gressive ticket. When l saw the drift
of things this year l came to realize,
as | believe thousands of other former
Progressives in Indiana are doing, that
If anything for the real good OF the
country is to be accomplished. there
must be a getting together; being sat
isfied with the makeup Of the Repub-
lican organization this year and the
many Progressive planks in it's plat
form, I determined that the best way
to overthrow the Democrats was by
voting the Republican ticket.
II have been paying particular at
tention to the campaign Mr.. Lynch is
making l was inclined to be against
him at first but have attended some
of his meetings, having heard his ad-
dresses and having met the gentleman
personally, have been won over. And
after being in Shelby county when
Prof Russell spoke there I have be-
come more firmly convinced that the
Progressive cause Is dead. II the par
ty is continued it can serve only to
keep the Democrats in power. The
meeting scheduled for London, Shelby
county, by Ebert Russell was not held,
as there were only eight persons out
to hear him. The candidate merely
shook hands all around. At Boggs-
town not a man was present to meet
the Progressive candidate, and the
meeting there was abandoned. Only
twelve voters heard Russell at Fair
land.
I'm Mr.. Lynch, believe the Repub-
licans OF the Sixth district have an
ideal candidate. His speeches are
positive in character and his Republi-
canism is thorough. At the same time
he is fair and considerate Of those who
! left the party two years ago.
Lynch is one Of the best mixers I
ever saw He has a way of greeting
people and shaking their hands that
shows he is genuinely sincere In his
greeting. To my mind he is liberal
enough to represent his entire constit-
uency. He is one of the best orators
ever heard. He has a most pleasing
personality and firmly believe he is
going to win by q substantial plurality.
while was at Liberty, Union coun-
ty, Mr. Lynch spoke there. The next
day the Liberty Herald, edited by @.
w. Stivers. who had previously an
nounced that he would oppose Lynch,
announced that as P. J. Lynch is not
directly RESPONSIBLE for conditions that
have prevailed in this district for years
, (having been a citizen Of the district
for but" a few years) we have decided
not to assail his candidacy This
shows what an impression Lynch is
making
TN Wayne county. the strongest
Bull Moose county in the district,
Lynch is making rapid gains. So
steadily Ia he making friends there
that he will carry the county by a safe
margin"
