PREDICTS LANDSLIDE
 FOR THE PRESIDENT
Dr. BrOugh Believes Middle West Will Give President Big Vote - Returned Yesterday From Oklahoma.

Fayetteville, Oct. 30.-A landslide in the Middle-west for President Will son, would not surprise him, Dr. C. II. Brough, Democratic nominee for gov ernor, said today The doctor return ed yesterday from Oklahoma where he campaigned for the national ticket. He left this afternoon for Madison county. He has delivered 70 speeches in l2 states, and will make 10 in Ar kansas.
 "The presidents greatest strength is in the Middle-west," said Dr. Brough. II believe he will carry Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Colorado, Nebraska, West Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri and Oklahoma and .of course, the solid South.
 The drift of sentiment for a month has been in the presidents favor, as is revealed by straw votes taken by newspapers and by a chain of 5000 retail drug stores.
 'Labor is supporting the president almost to a man, and the declaration of such captains of industry as Thos A, Edison, Henry oFrd, President Un- derwood of the Erie railroad and Judge Lovett of the Southern Pacific that they favor his reelection has done Mr. Wilson a world of good in business circles.'
 Dr. Brough will speak at Little Rock, November ?, Malvern and Big Creek church, Hot Spring county, No vember 3, Waldron, November 1, and Alma and Van Buren on November 6.

WOULD SEEK LLFE INDEMNITY.
~
New INSURANCE Anefg in the Lusitania
Cases

Washington. - Notice. that several
life insurance companies will claim a
part of any indemnity Germany may
pay on account of the loss of life on
the Lusitania has raised a. question for
which state department officials say
there is no: precedent Heirs of many
of the Lusitania victims already have
presented claims. final decision as
to whether insurance companies
claims on account efypolicies paid out
shall take precedence. will rest with
Secretary Lansing.
Officials point out.that where insur-
ance was paid on cargo, indemnity for
it's destruction usually went to the in
surance company rather than to the
owners, but it was said there were
many arguments in justification of a
different course in case of the loss of
life.
Germany has offered indemnity for
the Lusitania victims, but acceptance
by the United States hinges on the
outcome Of negotiations now in prog
ress for the settlement of all issues
growing out of the tragedy.
