HOOSIER BALLOT “BEE PROPHETIC While "Tis an Off Year, Will| Forecast: Presidential _| Indianapoli this year usually is what would be! ermed an off-year so far as elections in, Indiana are concerned, yet early; forecasts of the 1918 campaign indi-| cate an interest almost’equal to a pres: | idential campaign. This interest larg: | ely is due to the fights which will be made by the two parties for the elec- tion, of congressional representative: fram this.state, thirteen of whom are to be chosen next fall. At present the state represented in the' Na. tional house of representatives by 9! republicans and 4 democrats. | As for the state officers, the gov-; ernoreand lieutenant governor hold | over another two years, but the sec.) retary of, -state, Auditor of State, Treasurer of State, Attorney General, Glerk of Supreme Court, state su- périntendent of public instruction, state geologist, two judges of the state supreme court, four judges of the state couxt are to be elected, in addition to the members of the general assembly, Ind., April 17.—While |- congressmen, county and township of- ficials. rg Contests for the seats in the general assembly, it is said, will be interest- ing due largely to the important leg- islation that probably will come up at the session beginning in January, 1919. Two of the most important measures passed at thé 1917 session have been declared invalid by. the state supreme court and a third— the state wide prohibition law, is pending before that tribunal. Acts of the last legislature granting women of Indiana partial. suffrage and pro- viding for a new constitution were overruled by the court and undoubted- ly will become issues in the campaign and in the assembly, There are, 100 members of the low- er house, all of whom are to be el- ected and 50 members of the senate, but half of these are hold-overs. More than 25, however, will be elected this fall for. the reason that. there: are a number of vacancies among the hold- over members. The nine republican members of the national House of Representatives will be candidates for: re-election, it is said, and, with the possible exceptions of in-the Sixth and-Seventh districts, they will be unopposed for.the nomina- tion.’ The Democratic members also wall seek re-nomination, it is said.
