Many voters of the district voted for Eugene V. Debs, the socialist, "just for fun." Thoy littlo anticipated the day when pebs would stand indicted in the federal court on a charge of disloyalty and sedition. The Debs' gamp, however, cost the fifth Indiana district a mighty influential place in coneress and beat a splendid representative for her.

The present representative is Kverptt "W. Sanders, a popular and welllikotf young- republican lawyer.

claim all of these districts. The outcome Is liable to be determined largely by the votes of the laboring men— and If private opinions are to be believed, the laboring classes are solid for the president. The odds will favor the republicans here because there are more than ifl.000 negro voters in Indianapolis. However the democrats were never more hopeful.

The democratic candidates here believe that the drift favors them. They will be better organized than they were two years ago and there will be no trouble on account of the city administration. The thing that is distressing the republican leaders is that they are unable to 'get the goat' of the democrats by making a big show or being supremely confident of the outcome. Two years ago the democrats started into run second In' Indiana. This time they are starting in to run first. Under the leadership of Van Nuys they are showing a spirit that is going to be worth thousands of votes to them. In the meetings that are being held it is apparent that there is inuch more enthusiasm among the democrats than among the republicans. The latter talk organization and old fashioned matters that are not of the slightest interest to the average voter in these stirring times. It is no wonder that the democrats are getting off in the campaign in better shape than the republicans. The situation in Indiana was put up to Chairman 'Biir Hays at Chicago, last Monday, and it is understood that a vigorous demand was made for all {he help that Hays can lend to his own state. Funds are needed to keep the big machine going -—and it is understood that difficulty has been met in raising money for a free and easy campaign in which money will flow like water as it did two years ago when nearly $300,000 was spent in six months.

ment. Two years ago they were berating the Bell administration. The people elected republicans to the city offices in Indianapolis, and the town has settled back in the same old rut. The republicans have not been able to bring about their promised reforms or do not want to and the people are waking up to the real difference between campaign promises and official performances. The republicans overworked the attacks on Mayor Bell and the democratic city administration, and the voters have long since been rubbing their eyes and coming out of their dream.

Soldiers' Votes.

The war mothers are getting into politics—not as politicians, but in order that their sons may vote in November. An appeal was made recently In both state committees and through the commission appointed for the co-operation of the "home folks" in furnishing the addresses of the soldiers so that they may be registered. In many counties the war mothers' societies have furnished the names "right off the bat," showing that they have a keen interest in the future of the boys.

Probably no other agency has been as effective in furnishing the committees and the state with the addresses of the soldiers. The task of registering the soldiers is about the heaviest thing the committees and the state have tackled for some time. However, I lists have been obtained from practically every county. In counties that are well organized the precinct committeemen are furnishing lists of the boys and their present locations.

The registration blanks are being prepared so that the messengers to be employed by the state to visit the cantonments in September will have their work pretty cut out. Tliere is no means of telling how many soldiers will be registered. Thousands of Indiana boys are in Franc* Thousands

are on the high seas and it will not be possible for them to vote. Those who happen to be training in America in November will vote—and probably there will be 25,000 of them. However, there will be more than 100,000 Hoosier lads in the various branches of the service by then. The absence of the boys will affect both parties alike. There is "no politics in t'ne patriotism" of the Indiana boys. Both state committees are registering soldiers regardless of their politics.

Chairman Van Nuys of the democratic committee says that he wants all of the soldiers to vote regardless of their politics. That is, or ought to be the attitude of every party leader. It is unfortunate that the American boys in France can not vote, but under the absent voters and registration laws they couldn't be registered in time and even if they could It is not likely that they would be able to take time from their work to register and vote Both the state committees have increased their force of employees in order to register the absent voters.

THe Bond Sale.

The fact that the fourth liberty Ixan drive will end Oct. 19, is good news to the campaign managers who thought that the entire month of October would be given over to bond sales. They will have about three weeks under the present plan to close the campaign, which will be sufficient.

Following the lead of Chairman Van Nuys the republican leaders are announcing that their candidates and committeemen will devote themselves to the sale of bonds and that for threr weeks "politics will be adjourned." There will be no politics as far as the holding of meetings is concerned, but the two state committees and the countv committees will have plenty of detail work to attend to. It will be .lust as well for the candidates to enter into the sale of bonds for they

THE BEST POLICY.

The secretary of the New York Prison association tells of the answer a thief gave to the question, "Is honesty the best policy?" It was in the Elmira reformatory, where a class was undergoing instruction. A young man asked permission to answer the question. "I believe honesty Is the best policy," said he, "because of a case where I knew it to work that way, Sev? There
