Va. Counties
Report Good
Sanitation.

Richmond, Va, June 3O.-With
virtually two-thirds of the Virginia
counties reported, the campaign to
effect 100 per cent sanitation has
been definitely launched. 1t may
shock some people to learn that there
are in the State counties even today
which have less than one per cent Of
the homes equipped with proper
sewage disposal and safe water sup
plies; but the most backward county
in Virginia today is above the aver
age for all Virginia fifteen years ago,
and there are today in Virginia a
number of counties which can boast
of sewage disposal well on the way
to 100 per cent, such as Arlington
with 95 per cent reported, Roanoke
with 81 per cent reported, Middle
sex with So per cent reported and
fifteen or more between 60 per cent
and 80 per cent.
Before the campaign is ended it
may be predicted with reasonable
certainty that a number of counties
will be in the one hundred per cent
class and there is no reason why all
the counties should not be in the 80

Need for Action, Says
FoeIIinger.

Herbert Hoover will carry In

the basis of total vote of 100000.
He will win in nine Congressional
districts, with the outcome very
close in the other four"
Such is the official forecast" of
Tuesdays primary election as made
today by Oscar CT. Foellinger, Hoo
yer manager for Indiana, from State
headquarters at the Claypool.
Foellinger predicted the total Re
publican vote would exceed 100000
in "a mass uprising in demand for
decency in government in Indiana"
So an overwhelming Hoover victory
may be expected, he said.
ct is necessary to do no more
than to raise ones eyes to find basis
for these statements. have lived
many years in Indiana, watched
many campaigns and never have I
seen the people so determined to as
sert their will and rout the profess
sional politicians.
Never have I seen the women so
aroused. There is the same enthuS-
iasm among clergy, the labor I'M
ions, the industries, the professional
and business people.
I'm such widely separated cities as
South Bend, TT. Wayne, Muncie,

Terre Haute, Evansville and Indian
anOlis. imDartial straw votes have
shown Hoover favorite by from 2
to 1 to 10 to /.
THE American Legion, the farm
organizations, civic societies. are
working heroically to get out the
vote. Their success is Hoover's sue
cess"
Foellinger cited primary results in
other States in support of his fore
cast for a Hoover victory in Indiana
I'm Ohio" he said, "a field Of
candidates was thrown in his path
and he swept through by to 1. In
Massachusetts there was only one
issue-Hoover versus Dawes and
Lowden. He polled 100000 votes to
5000 for those two together.
In California he was unopposed
and there were no State contests
to draw voters to the polls, yet more
than 100000 Republicans left home
and work to tell the world that Hoo
yer is their choice.
There has been a scurrilous I'M
foreground attack of falsehood and
villification against Hoover in In
diana, but he transcends all opposi-
ton, all attacks. Tuesday night
marks the twilight of the profess
