OUTLOOKJS GOOD Chairman Korbly Says Situation is Satisfactory According to Reports. OF COUNTY CHAIRMEN Investigations Made Among Farmers Show They Are Well Pleased. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 24 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —A general statement regarding the political situation in Indiana has been made to Chairmen Bernard Korbly of the democratic state committee by the county chairmen who have written him letters setting forth, conditions as they see them. Letters have been received from every county and the tone of them generally is very satisfactory. Here and there local troubles have arisen over the naming of nominees for county and township tickets, but local troubles have been experienced by both parties for many years and are regarded as the natural outgrowth of the strife for office. However, reports made to Chairman Korbly show that the democrats generally are very well satisfied with the national and state administrations which is the important thing. The word received from the county chairmen and from others t>y Chairman Korbly indicates very clearly that the political situation is satisfactory to the democratic party and that it will go into the campaign early in September in far better shape than its opponents are willing to admit

Some of the leaders who have been getting a line on political conditions among the farmers have made some very encouraging reports lately. They said that the talk of the republicans to the effect that the farmers are dissatisfied is entirely unwarranted. The men who have been making inquiries among the farmers said that generally speaking the farmers have had a wheat crop that is twice as I -ge as the one they had last year and that the prices are very satisfactory under the circumstances. The prices now being paid for hogs, cattle. sheep and lambs are very high and enable the farmer to handle them at a good profit. While it is true there has been some complaint regarding the early corn the reports , show that the corn crop is going to , be much better than, was expected. The farmers are likely to get higher prices for it than they have for many • years. Under the circumstances it is ■ not regarded as reasonable that the farmers V-ho voted for Wilson and Ralston in 1912 will vote the republican or progressive ticekt. The reports received here indicate that tlie farmers generally are not I only satisfied with the existing political condition but are of the belief , that the Wilson policies have not had a fair trial and that there should be . no change until there is ample opportunity to test them out. ABOUT THE SICK. C Miss Kate Mangold is nursing Huldah Haugk. tcn-year-old daughter of J Mr. and Mrs. Julius Haugk, who is s ill of typhoid fever. ABOUT THE SICK Mrs. John Koop of Fort Wayne, formerly Miss Clara Bultemeier of . this city, is reported as resting much better during the past few days. She recently underwent a second opera tion. It is believed that she will recover all right. Dr. and Mrs. Smith and Walter Sudduth left Sunday for Ossian to bring back Mrs. Hannah Sudduth, who went there last Wednesday and became seriously sick. She stood the trip well and is resting well this morning. Mrs. John Fuerst, who went to Toledo, Ohio, Sunday, was taken very ill on the train. She is somewhat better at this time, but thought best to remain in Toledo for the week. Helen, daughter of Frank Gass, who was ill of scarlet, fever, had a very mild case, being ill only a day and night. She is getting along very nicely, although the home, of course, must be quarantined th<f regulation time. o Mr. and Mrs. Clyde McCrory and family of Leo, who visited here with the William B. Teeple family, left for Lake James for a visit. M . rni Mrs. Joe Tonnelier, daughter. Rose, and son, Dick, motored to Rome City Saturday morning, where they will spend a week’s outing.
