Attention to Republican Campaign.

diana Republican Editorial association
at Magnesia Springs, His statement

ut is difficult for me to express the
gratitude which feel for the assurances
that have come to me relative to the
governorship. The friendship and conf
dence which these assurances prove mean
more TO me than anything else and move
me very deeply.
81 am very sensible of the privilege in
eident to the opportunity for service and
distinguished honor in the governorship
of Indiana but | cannot, however, fur
ther consider being candidate. / am
committed TO definite undertaking and
/ shall finish that job. The work in con.
nection with the Republican national
Craftsmanship is daily becoming so all
absorbing and the Importance Of the sue
cessful outcome so vital that there I
must do that which it is given me to do,
and ! must do it TO the hilt.
"lt has been thought by many Of my
friends that | could do both, but / know
that it is impossible to give the hundred
per cent in initiative and execution due
each position if | have the other on my
mind
Believing this, as do, then my
course is clear. | must do the one or the
other There is no doubt about com
plete Republican victory in Indiana and
the nation, and it is simply for me to de.
eide where ] may be able to do the larg-
est good and where my duty lies. This,
believe, is in the work which have in
hand in aiding insofar as is in my power
to bring the complete Republican nation
al victory so absolutely essential to the
country's welfare. Therefore, | shall not
be a candidate for governor"

COTTON CROP ESTIMATE.
Of 100000 Bales This Year in United
States.

Washington, D. c., Aug. IA cotton
production of ll,I06,0OO bales this year

of agriculture, basing its estimate on
the condition of the crop July 25, which
it announced as GIL per cent of nor
NAL.

ALLIES MUST EXPEL
DICTATOR BELA KUN
Otherwise the Communist Leader Will
Stay in Power at Vienna as Long
as He Wishes.

Vienna, July 81 (By the Associated
Press Unless the allies assume the
definite policy of foreibly expeling Bella
Kun, the communist leader, Americans
here who are informed as to the situa-
tion believe he will continue as dictator
for weeks, or months, according to his
own will.
The allied representatives here have
done all in their power in an attempt to
reason with Bella Kun and to move his
patriotism to persuade him TO deliver the
government into the hands of the social
lists rather than those Of few minority
communists. There have also been va
rious conferences between General Boehm,
the Hungarian war minister, NJ Agos-
ton, the Hungarian peoples commissary,
and other reliable socialists in an at
tempt to evolve a reasonable plan, but
so far Bella Kun continues to parley
without accepting.
Bella Kun is said to feel that his posi-
tion is stronger because of the new har-
vest coming in, which gives the soviet
more food, especially as thousands of
Hungarians continue to flee, thus max
ing fewer mouths to feed,
President Seitz of Austria said to-day
that his country would not be quiet so
long as Bella Kun was permitted to dis
turb her politics. He said that Hunga-
rian soldiers were melting to disorder
and that requisitions of private houses
in cities and villages were going on near
Vienna
The Hungarian soldiers are obeying
orders so long as they get food and
money, and because of this fact it is not
thought probable that Bella Kun will be
overthrown by forces inside Hungary.
As in Russia men without friends over
the frontier are obliged to Join the army
in order to live. The power of Bella Kun
is also due to the inertia of the educated
classes and others who are worn out by
the war and have no strength to struggle
against the rule of terror
The soviet power is further strength.

man., and that facts printed regarding
its failure emanate from the capitalistic
press.
Some results of the work of the soviet
factories are that iren coins of the value
of 20 heller cost 90 heller to make: in
the Weiss Manfred arms factory, which
is working with a monthly deficit of
100000 crowns, the cost to repair one
tramcar is 100000 crowns; tram fare is
30 heller, whereas the cost to the state is
90 heller; workmen's wages are eight
and one-half crowns per hour. The price
of one cabbage is 40 crowns, goose 1000
crowns, pair of shoes 200 crowns and
an egg eight crowns
