diana, former hotbed Of the ku Klux
Khan, will 60 through the political
campaign with religion, prohibition,
corruption, and farm relief as the
paramount issues.
Religion has entered the situation
without the sponsorship and against
the wishes Of both Republican and
Democratic leaders, but there can be
no evading it in this state, where the
hooded order once boosted member
ship of half million.
Republican leaders have cast the
prohibition issue before the voters.
They see in it powerful weapon to
use in this exceedingly dry state
against Gov. Alfred E. Smith, the
Democratic presidential candidate,
while Democratic leaders have
hurled corruption charges at both
the state and national administra-
ti6hs of the last few years.
The farm problem will be paraded
by the farmers, who, regardless Of
their political connections, find them
selves pledged. nearly 100000 strong,
to vote for the presidential nominee
who will assure them financial relief.
These statements are summarized
from conversations with farmers
politicians, members or former
members Of the Ku Klux Khan, the
Indiana Anti-Saloon League, labor
ers. church workers, storekeeper:
and others.
Normally Republican, there have
ben so many cross-currcnts to date
in Indiana that some politician:

 Reeds enmity for Hay continued, however, and on his return from Houston he launched one of the most bitter political assaults of his career, asserting that Hays name on the ticket twill drag it down to defeat"
 Virtually ignoring prohibition which Reed maintained "can neither be ignored nor avoided" Hay stumped the state counselling har- mony in the democratic ranks. He declared his support of the national ticket and platform without sub scribing to the Smith anti-prohibi- ton pronouncement.
 Wouldn't Denounce
 Hay furthermore refused openly to denounce Reeds statement at Houston in favor of law enforce ment. which was interpreted by some of Reeds wet supporters in Mis- souri as somewhat of retreat from the senator's consistent opposi- tion to prohibition.
 Throughout the Hay-Reed hostili- ties, tho states junior democratic senator, Harry B. Hawes, waged a quiet campaign for party harmony, and today is actively in charge of the democratic regional committee for seven central and southern states with headquarters here.
