INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. September Z.
Although Indiana has been in a
tangle of politics practically since
the national conventions were held.
the campaign did not get under way
formally until this week. A speech by
the democratic vice presidential can
didate. the keynote speech Of his cam
paign by Warren T. McCray. the re-
publican nominee for governor. and
numerous speeches all over the state
by democrats and republicans OF less
importance indicated that there will
be no dull moments politically from
now until November Another an
nouncement Of Importance was to the
effect that Thomas Taggart. the DEM
ocratic nominee for United States SEN
ator, will begin his statewide canvass
in week or two. Senator James E.
Watson. his opponent, has been in an
active speaking campaign for the last
two weeks.
The nomination Of Mrs. Culla Way
hinger for United States senator by
the prohibition party this week caused
considerable furry, but the voters
OF the two big parties will vote for
either watson or T2ggart.
The German ouestion.
The German question came to the
fore this week when Benjamin Bosse,
democratic state chairman, said that
. bureau at Chicago was sending out
cans and against thes~league Of ma
tons He said that this bureau was
trying to get the mailing lists OF all
OF the German newspapers in the
country. He charged directly that an
effort had been made to obtain from
Frederick Lauenstein Of Evansville.
former publisher Of the German Dem
okrat, q mailing list Of the Demokrat.
Lauenstein denied that any such eff
fort had been made. Bosse said that
before long he will display copies Of
the pamphlets that are being sent out
from Chicago and in other ways
would<expose the movement.

Holiday Of indianapolis, Introducing
Mr.. Roosevelt, attracted more atten-
ton than did the Roosevelt speech.

age and who always has an audience
when he speaks in indianapolis. made
an ardent appeal for the league Of
nations, BY those who favor the
league his speech was regarded as one
of the best that has been made thus

Uncertainty n to Issue.
In Indiana. where politics IL q lead
ing pastime, there is still considerable
indecision as to what will be- the
leading issue Of the campaign. Some
politicians Of experience do not be-
lieve that the Issue has yet been de-
termined. Some express the opinion
that 1t will be the Wilson admins
tration. Others think II will be the
labor question. Still others count on
its being the league Of nations and a
great many who discuss the question
say that the whole campaign will
come to the question of Americanism
as opposed to GermAnism.
