CONNERSVILLE, Ind. Feb. AL
though there is an apathetic attitude
toward Walter Bossert in Fayette
county, there is no organized opposi-
ton. so far as can be ascertained.
Warren T. McCray's candidacy for the
nomination for governor is stronger
| than that of Toner. Maj. Gen. Wood
is the strongest favorite for the presi-
Dental domination. No Harding fol-
lowing has manifested itself.
GREENFIELD, Ind, Feb. Al.
though no tangible opposition to Wal
ter Bossert, district chairman, has
manifested itself, some feeling still
exists because OF his attitude in the
congressional convention a few yea RS
ago when he permitted his name to
remain as enc of the candidates. 1t
is estimated that IS per cent of Han.
cock county favors the candidacy OF
Warren T. McCray for the guberna
torial nomination. AS Hancock is an
agricultural community, his strength
| among the farmers seems to be an
abiding one. Little Wood sentiment
is noticeable. Senator Harding seems
to be the favorite.

sition to Walter Bossert has developed
here. Dissatisfaction with him il

There is a strong sentiment for War
rem T. McCray and some for Ed Toner
because he is native of Shelby
county No decided trend for Maj
Gen. Wood is apparent. The candi
dacy of Senator Harding has received
little support.
