Testimony to Republican solidarity
continues TO accumulate here as visitors
from various sections OF the country
arrive in Washington. Arthur B.
Jones Of South Bend, Indiana, who
was here last week, gave it as his
opinion that Indiana will next year be
Republican by 1000 and will elect
a solid delegation to Congress. The
Republicans started the readjustment
last November, he said, by electing
two Republican members Of the
House, and next year we will COM
plete the change. 1t is not ques

the men who followed Col. Roosevelt
in 1912, have either openly announced
their return 10 the Republican party,

that in 1916, Colorado will elect a
solid Republican delegation to Con
