Political Situation in Indiana
By The Guardians of Liberty.
After careful investigation, eS-
tending over period Of several
months, we are able to announce the
following results. which we believe
to be strictly reliable. If any mis-
takes are found, however, it will not
be intentional, and we will be very
glad to make the proper correction,
If the matter is properly brought to
our attention:
Ralph w. Moss of the 9th Indiana
congressional district is again trying
to be returned to congress, and there
by displace Everett Sanders, repub-
lican, who is now filling the place
with honor and distinction. Moss
had a X. of c. secretary when in
congress, and was defeated through
the efforts of the G. Of L., for that
and other reasons.
In the second district a strong eff
fort will be made to unseat Oscar
Bland, a worthy patriotic American,
who is now filling the place with dis
tinction. and put in his place Fred
Bays, of Sullivan, the man who beat
Bill Cullop in the democratic pri-
mary.
We know nothing Of Mr.. Bays, but
since Mr.. Bland is satisfactory, we
do not believe in swapping horses in
the middle of a stream.
In the seventh district we advise
support of Merrill Moores.
On the republican state ticket there
is only one Roman Catholic, Mr.. Pat.
rick ]. Lynch. We believe that an
effort viii be made to try to convince
the patriotic voter, that while Mr..
Lynch is q member of that church,
that he is not very active in it. We
beg to remind the voter that Mr..
Lynch is n Knight of Columbus, and
is now or has been q district deputy
in the state organization, so says our
information. Q
The other candidates on the repub-
lican ticket for state Offices are, we
believe, good clean men. and have no
foreign entanglements, but we would
call special attention to the candi-
dacy of Ele Stansbury, present state
attorney general, and candidate for
reelection. Mr.. Stansbury has taken
n decided and energetic stand in de-
fense of the public schools, and
should certainly be reelected for this
if for no other reason.
On the democratic state ticket there
are three Roman Catholics, according
to our information. They are: Ed
ward Barrett, Of Plainfeld, for
state geologist; James J. Moran, Of
Portland. for supreme Judge; and
Hugh Wickens, Of Greensburg. fol
appellate judge, first district. Their
opponents on the republican ticket
are all good men, of American ideals
and should be elected.
The other candidates for state Of
fees on the democratic ticket, accord
ing to our information, are person
ally all good men, but we do not be.
lieve that the Roman influence in The
party organization has been elimi
mated to any considerable extent, 81
| the voter will, of course, use his owr
| Judgment in this respect,
However, we would call special at
tention to the candidacy of Samue
L. Galloway, Of Monticello, democrati,
candidate for clerk of the suprem,
court, in opposition to Patrick J
Lynch, of Newcastle, on the repub
lican ticket, and who has been men
toned in the first part of this article
Mr.. Galloway is a man of good repu
tation. We would say vote for Mr.
Galloway by all means.
! Mr.. B. M. Willoughby, of Vincen
\ mes, republican candidate for judg
Of the supreme court, is worthy o.
special mention, and should not b
overlooked by the patriotic voter
although his democratic opponent
John G. McNutt, of Martinsville, an,
! present supreme judge, is also
good man for the place.
| Coming downto the Marion count!
local ticket, all republican candidate
with two exceptions are non-Cath
olic. The exceptions are Luke W
Duffey, for state senator, and Franl
]. Noll, Jr., for state representative
Mr.. Dpffey is birthright Quaker
but joined the Romanists later, s
our information says. His opponen
on the democratic ticket, Mr.. Michae
| M. Mahoney, is also Romanist, &C
cording to information.
On the democratic ticket there ar
eight Roman Catholics, and possibl
one or two more, as our information
is not yet complete on these. The
ara: Joseph Collier for Judge of su
perior court, room q; John J. Roch
ford, for judge superior court, roor
l3; Patrick J. Kelleher (reporte
Romanist) for juvenile Judge; VII
liam P. Cosgrove, for county auditor
William NJ. Fogarty, for count
treasurer; Albert w, Miller, 70
