Indiana (Continued From First Page.) of this new registration has been due to the activities of the Republicans. Undercurrents Unrevealed. The undercurrent, if there is one, has not yet fully manifested itself. In Indianapolis there are some 50,000 voters unwilling to state their political allegiance. The Republicans like to think that these politically silent peo- ple will vote for Landon. They say there seems no good reason for reti- cence on the part of these people if they are going to vote Democratic. But that is after all a guess. In Indiana the Democrats are strong in the industrial centers and in the big cities—Indianapolis, Gary, Fort Wayne, Terre Haute, etc. They be- lieve they have the industrial workers sewed up in a bag and it seems they do have great strength in these cen- | ters. Nevertheless the Republicans | have by no means given up hope of a | considerable labor vote. In Lake | County which ineludes Gary and its great mills, a campaign of Republican education is under way and the steel | workers are being told that if they | really wish to continue on the road | to recovery they had better vote the | RepublicanXicket. That 1t will mean the old, full dinner pail to them. Republican strength lies principally in the rural communities, of which there are a great number, and on the farms. Despite the Government checks to the farmers, many of the | Hoosier farmers are back in the Re- | publican fold. Some of them have reached the conclusion that the Lan- don farm program offers them as much, if not more, than Roosevelt’s. The Democrats have the advantage of being in power. They control the | election machinery, and up in Lake‘l County, if reports are true, that con- trol has been very effective in elec- tions in the past. There was once & | time when that county was strongly Republican, and was able to kick in 8,000 or 10,000 votes extra, when it. became necessary. The advantage 1is now with the Democrats. Democratic in 1934. In 1934 the State went overwhelm- ingly Democratic, and sent to Wash- ington Senator Minton in place of the Republican, Arthur Robinson. It elected 11 Democratic members of the House and only one lone Republican. Four years ago the anti-Republican landslide, Roosevelt carried the State with a lead of 185,000 votes. ‘The earlier political history of In- diana, however, must not be over- looked. - Herbert ‘Hoover defeated Al Smith in 1928 with a lead of 286,000.

Alf Landon, Re- publican presidential candidate, And for the last 40 years Indiana has given its electoral votes only to two Democratic candidates for President, Roosevelt in 1932 and Wilson in 1912, In the latter year the combined vote for Theodore Roosevelt and Willlam Howard Taft far exceeded the vote for Wilson. Even in 1916, when Wil- son was elected on the slogan “He kept us out of war,” Indiana turned in for the Republican nominee, Charles Evans Hughes. It is evident, therefore, that Indiana has strong Republican roots. And it is increas- ingly evident that Indiana voters are turning back to old allegiances. The State is a real battleground this year. Political observers here say that they believe Roosevelt will carry the State. They hesitate, how- ever, to set any figure for his plurality, and when they are pressed they say that there is always the possibility of & “swing” that will carry Landon across the line a winner. The Demo- crats claim the State by 100,000. The Republicans don’t go in for figures so strongly. They will be content to carry the State by any margin whatever. The Republican organization here is in a flurry over plans for the Lan- don meeting Saturday night. A big parade is planned, in which every county in the State will be repre- sented. And, incidentally, this parade will go through the Negro section of the town to the State fair grounds. In the parade will be a herd of 14 elephants from Peru, Ind. Governor Race Active. Complicating to some extent the presidential race is a very active con- test on in Indiana for Governor. The Republicans have put forward Ray- mond S. Springer of Connersville, the first State commander of the Ameri- can Legion. It was Springer whom The Democrats have as their candidate the hand-picked choice of McNutt, Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend. “Mc- nuttism” is an issue in the State elec- tion. Fer the Governor has many enemies and not all of them by any means are Republicans. At the same time McNutt has built up a strong personal organization, with all State employes figuring in it. The Republicans believe they have a real chance to elect Springer Gov- ernor and they are doing their ut- most to bring that about. Evem the Democrats admit they may lose the governorship. They hasten to add, however, that if Roosevelt goes over in a big way, Townsend probably will win, too. For the first time Indiana voters this year will have separate ballots handed them, one ballot for the presi- | dential race. and the other for the State contest. The Democrats them- selves put through the law calling for the separate ballots, and now they are wondering why they did it. They fear many of the voters will give their presidential ballots to Roosevelt and at the same time will give their State RIGHT OVER OLD SHINGLES 2 ENTERPRISE ROOFING CO.

They are trying to teach the voters to “vote her straight.” McNutt has been a dominant figure in Democratic circles since his elec- tion and has carried things with a high hand, offending a number of Democrats. He is rated extremely am- bitious. Under the State law he can- not run for Governor to succeed him- self. But with Townsend as Gover- nor, if he can elect him, McNutt hopes to keep control of the Democratic organization and to launch his own presidential boom in 1940. Even now when McNutt addresses Democratic rallies he is frequently introduced as the next Democratic nominee for President. It is not on record he dis- likes the soft impeachment. G. O. P. Has Faction Troubles. ‘The Republicans, who have as many factional troubles as a dog has fleas, seem to have ironed them out for the campaign. They may go back to cut- ting each others throats after the election. But for the present there is harmony. Not only does Gov. Lan- don have many supporters in Indiana, but so does Col. Frank Knox, the G. vice presidential candidate. Knox is giving a lot of his time to Indiana and making effective speeches. Lemke has a place on the Indiana presidential ballot.

Indiana is better off this year than several of her Middle West neighbors, for the farmers made good crops, in spite of the hot summer. There is 'a group of Townsendites in Indiana and they may play a part in the presidential election, either voting for Lemke or for Landon. The choices of Dr. Townsend over Roose- velt, Republicans expect to cut into the Democratic congressional strength, and apparently with reason. They will hold their own, and are expected to win the Sixth District, now rep- resented by Mrs. Jenckes. They have the edge in the Fourth District and the Tenth District.

A Townsendite, Benjamin Brown, won the Republican nomina- tion there. 1If they should take all these districts, the Republicans will make a gain of four House seats from Indiana, and the delegation would stand five Republicans to seven Democrats, instead of one Republican to 11 Democrats, as at present. Representative Louis Ludlow, Demo- crat, who represents the Twelfth Dis- trict, including part of Indianapolis, is regarded as a sure winner. He has support among the Republicans as well as the Democrats. The other districts probably will go Democratic also, unless the Repu”licans should win in a big way throughout the State. We've & “young giant” on our hands! And we're not surprised. Four weeks ago, when Park Lane Suits made their first bow, we had a strong hunch they’d get o big hand. To borrow an old campaign phrase, “what this country needs is a good $35 suit.” It didn't take long for the word to get around that Bond had turned the trick. For here are suits as perfectly balanced as a fine watch. The materials are “jewels” of the woolen market — meaty, firm fabrics that will sparkle until the day you retire them. The workmanship is Rochester’s finest— and that's about tops in tailoring quality. But perhaps most impressive of all is the price! Svits like these are rarely associated with such a modest figure —and they wouldn't be now, were it not for one fact. Bond is the only retailer in America who owns a tailoring plant in Rochester. Thus, the profits we'd ordinarily pay an outside maker go into your pocket. And an expensively tailored suit is no longer expensive! Come and see this week, while selections are ot the peak. *eg US Pt O MYSTERY IN ATTACK LIMA, Peru, October 21 (A.— Tension gripped this Peruvian capital today in the wake of a mysterious at- tack by unidentified assailants on the “La Polvora” barracks and the Santa Rosa hydroelectric plant. The attackers fled after a furious gun battle with government troops. Fears of a revolutionary plot were expressed by officidls following the two raids. The first clash occurred at the hydroelectric plant at 3 am.,, when a sentry saw lights flashing as though signaling to a group of ad- vancing men. A volley of shots drove the “conspirators” off. * A-S CAULKING Contractor and Builder 410 Bond Bldg. Repairs Natl. 3934 Roofing Dec. 1948 PAINTING Furniture Lamp and Clocks CATLIN’S, Inc. 1324 N. Y.
