Roosevelt, Frederick Van Mugs, sem
atorial nominee, and Paul v. Nc
Mutt, Governor candidate, in these
counties that it is believed they
Will carry every one.
In Whitley county, for instance,
there are many onion growers. In
the past they shipped 1000 carloads
OF the odoriferous vegetable to Can
ada. The Republican agricultural
tariff placed a $3.50 tax on imported
onions and in retaliation the Cana
dian government voted a $1.6O tariff.
Not a bag of onions has been
shipped from Whitley county to
Canada this year.
quite naturally the growers blame
Hoover, Watson, the arch exponent
OF the Smoot-Hawley tariff; and
Hogg for ruin of their business. But
the county is dry and that is why
Hogg may carry it by small ma
jority.
To the north, in Lagrange coun-
ty the bank operated by State
Senator Rollo Walters, in which
were hundreds of small depositors
closed its doors. This came within
a few years of the crashing of the
bank operated in the same COM
munlty by Clyde Walb, former Re-
publican state chairman.
Party Leaders Incensed
For years Hogg refused to recop-
ME the regular Lagrange county
Republican organization. and con-
ferred only with Walters on everv-
thlng from pensions to postmasters
This has incenSed the regular or
ganization heads and party workers
To cap the climax, Hogg is
charged with advising a widow to
entrust her savings to Walters
bank few days before the crash
This also does not help his candi-
dacy.
Analysing each of the eight coun-
ties In the district, we find the fol-
lowing:
Adams Consistently Democratic
by a majority averaging 1.7OO. VIII
give the state and national ticket a
majority of at least 1000; and Far
ley, 1900. He has been aided in the
past few days by the campaigning
OF State Senator Thurman Gott-
schalk, of Berne, primary OBJ
ponent, who is popular in the coun-
ty.
Allen-Varies in politics with the
issues. Although Hogg's home coun-
ty, ne will lose it because of the in
tense wet sentiment. Democratic
majority will approximate at least
$500 for the national and state
tickets. Farley expected to carry it
by $500 votes. Watson intensely I'M
popular because of the newspaper
campaign made against him in the
1923 presidential primary by Oscar
Foelhnger Hoover's Indiana mana
ger and Fort Wayne Republican
publisher. This is remembered and
his playing of one group against the
NS@@~- 20 ANDNAAbLA ACCDlNs
DeKalb-Farley's home county.
Averages 1,400 Republican, but Nc
Mutt and VanNuys are popular and
a good local ticekt may make for
Democratic lead of $50.
Cuts G. o. P. Margin
LaGrange-Democrats won last in
1912. Republican majorities have
been as high as 1900. Bank diff
flculties and dissatisfaction with
administration is expected to cut
the G. o. P. congressional ma
jority to 400 and give the Demo-
cratic national and state tickets 100
majority.
Noble-Hard working Democratic
organization here expects to slash
in half the 1000 Republican cons
gresslonal majority of 1880 and
carry the Democratic state and ma
tlonal candidates over by $50 votes.
Standardization troubles be-
tween Everett Croxton and Judge
Clyde Carlin, as well as a popular
candidate for sheriff, indicate that
the 1000 G. o. P. congressional ma
jority may be reduced to 300 and
the Democratic national and state
candidates will win by about 100
votes.
Wells-Always Democratic. VIII
give Democratic national and state
tickets a majority of approximate
ly 1,5o0 and Farley a 500 lead.
Khan Activity Revived
Whitley-Onion tariff and gen.
eral rural dissatisfaction should
cut Hogg'S normal majority of TOO
to ESQ and give the state and ma
tional tickets a lead of approx
mately 400 votes.
There have been indications in
some northern counties of the dis
trict of revival Of khan activity.
In Noble county the Republican
chairman is said to be former
leader of the hooded order.
These. together with the organ
lied drys, materially are aiding
Hogs campaign.
