Trend 10 Wi|Ikie Seen
In Indiana, Helped by
Third-Term Issue
Democrats Working Hard
To Offset 6. O. P. Coins;
CoIored Vote Is Factor
By G. GOULD LINCOLN,
Star STAFF CORRESPONDENT.

INDIANAPOLIS Oct. 19.-"Life

is proudly displayed over the door
way into Republican headquarters
in this, Wendell L. WILKES native
State
Indiana Republicans say they are
going to town with Willkie They
are extremely confident. The Demo-
Gratis. while they insist they will
carry Indiana for President Roose-
welt once more, are not so cocky.
They admit they have a real fight.
In one breath they say they do not
see how they can lose. and in the
next they wonder if they can win.
They have been a bit cast down by
some national polls which now gives
Indiana to the Republicans.
After adding and subtracting the
pros and cons in a complex situa-
ton, Mr.. Willkie seems TO have the
better of 1t in this HooSier State.
G. O. p. Trend Started in 81.
In the first place there has been
a Republican swing in the State
since 1887. strongly manifested in
the elections of 1898. Second, Mr..
Willkie is Hoosier-and believe me,
that counts lot with the Hoosiers.
The Democrats endeavor to point
out that Mr. Willkie has been out
of the State for years. and has paid
little attention to it, but that kind
of argument does not get very far.
Mr. Willkie is a Hoosier boy. even
if he has been a power magnate,
and a lot of local pride goes with
him.
Working for Mr.. Willkie. too, is
the anti-th ird-term sentiment In
this State. which is considerable
and which has been voiced loudly
by one of the Democratic Senators.
Frederick Van Nuts. There are
plenty of Democrats who feel as
the Senator does.
And add to all this a desire on
the part of many people for "a
change" Too many coal miners
have been out of work and too many
other workers of all kinds have
been out of jobs w. P. A. does not
make up to them for more perma-
nent. better-paying jobs And the
farmers have switched in conSid-
cradle numbers.
Not So. Say Democrats.
The Democrats paint a different
picture In the first place, they
are leaving no stones unturned in
their effort to hold Indiana. Their
organization. after nearly eight
years of power. is functioning well.
They insist they are better organ
lied than the opposition, although
the Republicans, besides their regu-
lar organization. are fortified by in
dependent Willkie clubs, all very
active. in 81 of the 90 counties in
the State.
The Democrats claim the over
whelming support of labor, Or
ganized and unorganized. Next they
say that the farmers are concerned
because of the farm program, which
has helped them. The Committee

to "spend considerable time maneu-

Hamburg. However, the shipyards
were reported hard hit in series
of individual sorties which began

bombs were dropped on the

This attack was described as from
a low level, despite intense anti

From a low level also sticks of
high explosive bombs were tossed
across a dockside factory at Duis-

fires which the pilots were able
to see 20 minutes after they de-
parted for home, the Air Ministry
said.
The ministry said it lost but one
plane in the raids.
