INDIANAPOLIS. oct 2S.--With
the close OF the campaign in sight,
the republican managers, under the
leadership OF Chairman Lawrence
1Nous of the state committee are
predicting the election OF Albert j..
Bcvoridge for United States senator,
: and OF the entire state ticket. Lyons
forecasts a victory for Bcverldge by
plurality of 10000. From the
state officials who are candidates for
reelection the word comes that the
republicans viii win by at least 50,-
600 Among the ardent aud devoted
followers of Bevoridgo predictions
are numerous that he viii have a
plurality exceeding 100000.
At tho headquarters OF the demo-
cratic organization no one is speak
Ing OF probable pluralities for
: Samhel NJ. Ralston, nominee for
United States senator, and for the
rest of the ticket, but there is n quiet
air OF confidence more assertive
than was apparent two years ago.
Chairman Walter Chambers said to-
day that he is very well satisfied
with the situation which, he main
-snins, indicates n strong and increas-
ing drift toward the democrats,
Says Kalston VIII Win.
Ilo declares that Ralston will be
elected and that there is no doubt
that the democrats will elect six or
seven OF their congressional Candi-
dates. Chambers holds that the reg
iytration is more favorable TO the
democrats than to the republicans,
and that the former will have n
stronger organization. Information
now comes from the democratic
leaders disclosing that they have
been playing a quiet but aggressive
game for several weeks. They have
had nearly a score of wel.trained
party workers directing their cam
paign In counties in which they were
weak two years ago
They declare that tho Increased
registration In many coupties Is due
very largely to the efforts OF this
corps of men who have been holding
effective precinct meetings. Cham
bers points to the decrease In the
registration in Indianapolis. Lake
counts, and other large industrial
centers as a weakness In the re-
publican campaign. He IL satisfied
that the drift generally is with the
democrats in national and state at-
fairs.
Old-Llners Are Bitter.
lie also maintains that the attend
meetings is another proof OF the
growing approval of the democratic
campaign. He declares the Ralston
meetings are much larger than those
OK Beyeridss and that thousands or
old-line republicans will vote the
democratic ticket because of bitter
ness at Beverldge for his two Bull
Moose campaigns In 1912 and 1914.
That the Ralston meetings even
compare favorably with those OF
Beverldge is ridiculed by the repub-
lcan leaders, who insist that the
Boyerldge crowds are great nu-
merically and In manifestation OF
enthusiasm Beveridge is elated
with his meetings. His friends say
they compare most favorably with
any he has had In more than 80
years OF active campaigning, and
that they are to be regarded as an
Indication OF a big victory for him.
The Lyons estimate, IT is pointed
lout, reveals clearly that the repub-
khcan organization does not regard
'tho Harding vote OF 1920 as
permanency. President Harding
carried Indiana by nearly 100000.
Senator James L. Watson won by
nearly 10000 over Thomas Tag
gart. the idol OF the Indiana demo.
Gratis. The republican state ticket
was elected by more than 10000.
The estimates now issuing from
the republican management con-
cede Il loss of more than 10000 as
compared 10 the Harding vote II
appears that the calculations OF
Lyons and his associates go back
TO 1918 for basis. While IL IL
being deduced from what they are
saying that they realize there Is a
DRIFT way from 1929. II Is made
clear they do not believe II Is suffi-
oient TO bring about the loss OF the
state.
The final returns on the reglstra-
ton plays an important part in the
calculations OF the rival camps. The
total registration this year is 1,4l3,-
252 compared TO 1'446,4Ol in 1870
This is amazing TO both sides. The
&democratic managers point out that
