have continued my humble efforts in
that direction to the present"
why" Senator New was asked, ARE
Indiana politics so intense?"
Because the people of that noble
state have opinions on all public ques-
tions and are interested in the large
and small matters of government. They
talk politics. and when not so engaged
are discussing literature and other live
and uplifting topics.
The Indiana farmer, turning a fur
row, moving grass or milking cows
(and they are the best cows in Amer
ica). is thinking about the tariff, mil
itary preparedness and the war in
Europe. So, too, is the Indiana me-
chanic. Each Indiana man believes
that what he thinks ought, in national
sanity and safety, be thought by every
one of his neiGhbors. Thus. you see,
doctrines are kept in motion There is
no stagnation, no apathy, but there is
never any neglect of ones regular
business or animoSity.
II venture to say that no other state
is like Indiana politically. 1t never
stands dumbly hitched to post. No
one knows how it will go at a pres
idential election. And its uncertainty
and zeal keep it anxious and busy dur
ing campaigns and the intervening
periods. Consequently, Indiana repub-
licans and democrats are invariably

1.-The state chairman of the progressive
party was made one of the mana gers OF
the republican campaign. Cancellation was
preached and practiced. Memories were
emptied of former events. And the re-
suit? The progressive vote dwindled to
5000 and Indiana went for Hughes and
elected two republican senators. There
ought to be two parties in this country,
and there are two parties at this moment,
and neither, If wise, will underrate, the
other.
The strength of what Senator New says
with respect to republican unprofciency
during the contest of 1916 lies In the fact
that he was a national committeeman for
many years, as was John c., his father.
John c. arranged the details for the ma
tional conventions IN 1880, 1884 and 1888,
and Harry S. for those of 1904, 1908 and
1912.

preparation for battle. They are ready
always to march to the polls on short
notice. At least one senator in our
state has been elected by the margin
of a single vote. We don't organize
collectively, but individually. Every

were out of the county temporarily en-
visits or business and those who were

in wagons or carriages. Nothing is
left to chance in Indiana.

COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, July l7.-Weather con
ditions in Texas caused moderately wide
price changes in cotton here today which
carried active months above and below the
level Of yesterdays close. The situation
hinged on whether or not Texas had received
rains overnight Reports that good rains had
fallen stimulated selling which forced a de-
cline Of IS TO IA points ON the opening but
later and official reports showed the drouth
was unbroken. This and the forecast of con-
tinued dry weather created a buying wave on
which the market rose 81 to 3s points from
the bottom standing at the highest "a points
over yesterdays last quotations. In the after
noon the market became dull, there WAS a
total lack OF outside business and when early
buyers started taking profits they found no
one to absorb their offerings, and the price
fell off TO the lowest levels again, the market
closing at u net loss for the session OF 7 to
10 points
In the morning the demand was further
stimulated by a private bureau report on

NEW YORK, July 17.-Conflicting crop
and weather reports from Texas explained
a number of wide fluctuations in the cotton
market today. The opening was barely
steady at decline Of 10 TO as points but
subsequent advances carried October contracts
from "a up to assoc and December from
24.ssc TO 2536c, or about 30 points above
the previous night. This upturn was due to
private advices claiming that the Texas rains
which provoked the early break had not eN-
tended into sections OF the state which were
most in need Of moisture.
A more bearish sentiment developed upon
receipt Of later Texas reports claiming that
the territory still suffering from drouth pro.

conditions which rain had provided in the
