Indiana has long been, and will
this year be the great battle-ground of

enough Republican senators that we

that we elect a majority to the house

j CHICAGO, June 9.-Nominating ex-
Vice President Charles w. Fairbanks
of Indiana as Republican candidate for
the presidency would assure G. o.
P. majority in the United States SEN
Wood of Indiana said in his speech
here today, placing Mr.. Fairbanks
name before the convention.
Mr.. Wood reviewed the career of
AIR. Fairbanks at length. He declared
the Indiana 'favorite son" had been
the spokesman of Mckinley in the try
ing days preceding the Spanish war,
was pioneer opponent of free sill
ver," had done all he could to avert
the 1912 break in the Republican
party and had never "aspersed the
character of or imputed evil motive
to" those who left the party then.
Intensely American.
Mr.. Wood said, in part:
Mr.. Fairbanks is intensely AM
erican and stands for the best inter-
ests of American institutions and Am
erican citizenship. He believes that
every citizen, whether native or for
eign born, owes his entire allegiance
to the Stars and Stripes, and all for
which that emblem stands. He does
not believe, however, that the foreign
born citizen need forget the land of
his birth or fail in his sympathies for
the kinsmen that he has left behind,
for such person is not calculated to
make a good citizen anywhere
That we will elect majority to the
house of representatives now seems
certain. Whether we can elect a ma
jority to the United States senate is a
different proposition. We can do it,
and we will do it, if we are wise in
our selection of a candidate for presi-
dent Indiana has two United States
senators to elect. If they are elected,
we are reasonably sure of electing a
sufficient number in other states to
give US a working majority in the SEN
ate after March 4, 1917.
Hinges on Indiana.
If we fail to elect the two senators
in Indiana, the United States senate.
will remain Democratic for at least
four years to come.
