INDIANAPOLIS. Aug 9.-(SpeciaD
In the opinion Of leading politicians
both republicans and democrats in
indianapolis Woodrow wilson's notes
TO Great Britain. showing that the
United States viii remain neutral and
will proceed TO drastic measures only
II necessary to enforce her demands
for the rights OF her citizens abroad,
at III costs. have had wide effect in
the national political situation Fears
expressed here two weeks ago that
Wilson was alternating the affections
of the larger proportion of German
citizens with his submarine warfare
demands on the FatheTland, seem TO
be completely allayed The most
feTociOus OF the O-Germanic SYM
pathiZers seem to agree now that
Wilson simply is standing for the
neutrality OF this nation and the pro-

That the Mexican situation also is
about 10 be Strengthened out. at least
temporarily also is believed here
That the Wilson safe and sane poll

program also is being well received

many angles TO the political situation

The announcement that Bernard

chairman again is taken 10 mean that
there will be no fight in Indiana this
year on the sO-called organization.
kOrbly's reelection now seems certain
and therefore il is probable that the
talk about William II. Nollmer for

leadership. will he heard no more.
If the primary were TO be held today
il probably would mean that Korbly
would be the choice of the district
chairmen elected hands down"
What changes may come before the
primary, however. are uncertain.
O'Brien and Goodrich.
And so IL seems that if the pri-
maries were held today William H.
O'Brien would be nominated for gov

James =. Goodrich would be nomi-
mated on the republican ticket. But
with the primaries six months away
many things may happen TO change
results
