LAFAYETTE, Ind. April 14-This
normally Republican section, rang today
with prophecies and hopes for a high
tide of Democratic victory, to sweep over
Indiana next fall, following stirring
speeches at the twenty fifth annual
Jackson day banquet of the Jackson Club
of TippecanOe County, last night by
James NJ. Cox, Democratic presidential
standard bearer in 1920, four candidates
for the Democratic nomination for United
States Senator from Indiana, and others.
The great cause of the Democratic
party-participatiOn IN world affairs by
the American people in full measure-was
not defeated in 1920 ans although Amer
lea sits here strapped to her money bags,
so far as the League OF Nations is con
cerned, and outside of the Genoa con-
ference keeping unwhole5ome company
with the Sultan OF Turkey the dawn Of
new day is at hand" declared Mr.. Cox,
amid ringing cheers.
Defeated by a plurality Of 100000 in
1920. Mr.. Cox declared u am not licked.
All the Republican sheriffs and constables
in the United States could not round up

Five hundred attended the banquet.
Speeches of Claude c. Bowers, editor OF

Governor Samuel ". Ralston and Dan W.
Simms of Lafayette, the latter two sen

almost as vigorous as that aroused by
the 1920 leader. Mr. Cox called Mr.
Bowers eulogy Of woodrow Wilson finer
than any he had heard Mention Of the
name Of Mr.. Wilson brought cheering.
and no speaker failed to sound the war
Presidents praise.
HEARING CHARGES
MADE IN INDIANA
We have begun outside of Indiana to
hear the charges Republican candidates
make against each other" said Mr. Cox.
They fight for the rather empty honor
Of nomination on the Republican ticket
because in Indiana this year. a Repub
lican has no more chance TO be elected
than he would have were his candidacy
planted on the soil of Texas.
IF one of these candidates is half as

as a measure of relief. the opportunity

Mr. Cox praised Bert Yocum. chairman
