STRONG NOMINEES IN ALL DISTRICTS

RopiiMlcons Pan Way for Victory JUI Along Une. ■■ Ml. | 600 D WORK HI OLO TWELFTH Nomination of Heaton For Congraaa Gives Added Hope For the Whole Ticket—Bland Hustling In Second— Neal Pushing Fight in Ninth—Crumpacker, Cox, Moorman, Thompson and Barnard Work For the Whole Ticket. The nomination of Judgo O. N. Heaton of Fort Wayne to make the race for congress In the Twelfth district on the Republican ticket, is believed to Insure Republican success in that district. Democrats admit Judge Heaton Is the most popular Republican In the district. Republicans say that with Judge Heaton at the head of the ticket in tne district, the county Republican tickets will gain great added strength. With Judge Heaton leading, the legislative and state ticket are expected to gather great force all over the Twelfth. This means added votes In the legislative caucus for the Republican candidate for United States senator, and more Republican legislative votes to bo applied to the making of fair reapportionments, both congressional and legislative.

The confidence of Twelfth district Republicans Is no stronger than that in the Tenth, where Judge Crumpacker is opposed by John B. Peterson, counsel for the Steel corporation, the Western Union Telegraph company, and all the railroads In northern Indiana. Tenth district Democrats are badly split up locally, and the Republicans, as usual, are aggressively united, and have gained largely In voting strength. Oscar E. Bland’s fighting canvass in the Second Is stirring the natives to a degree unusual. Mr. Bland is holding meetings of workers and editors, and proposes to make a house-to-house appeal for support. His ability as an organizer makes him formidable, and his opponent, W T . A. Cullop, has failed as a politician as well as in congress. E. E. Neal, in the Ninth district, Republican nominee against Martin Morrison, the Democratic son of rest from Frankfort, is preparing to storm the district. Mr. Neal has a united Republican party behind him, and this fact gives his candidacy just the impetus needed for putting him far in the lead of Morrison. Already the prophets say Mr. Neal will be elected by 8,000. The Ninth has several legislative members and with a Republican congressman elected, these seats in the state assembly will be occupied by Republicans. Judge W. O. Barnard of the Sixth Is gaining steadily in public esteem and Is restoring Republican confidence In large measure. His re-election Is now conceded by thinking Democrats. The opposition picked the weak candidate out of Its string of aspirants, and did the choosing In the heat of factional strife and bitterness. The result is that Democrats are seriously divided.

John L. Thompson, the farmer-man-ufacturer, who has been named as the harmony Republican candidate in the Eleventh, is doing much to unite all elements of his party. Readjustments In Cass county, just attained, Indicate legislative and other gains In that quarter, and prove the district Is solidly united for Republican victory. Linton A. Cox, In the Seventh, is ooncededly the strong man in the congressional race. The united Republican party In Marlon county is behind him with the best organization ever seen in Indiana politics. Mr. Cox is in a position to strengthen the whole Republican ticket In the Seventh. The Republicans have a strong ticket, named in such a way as to enlist all to Its hearty support. John L. Moorman’s campaign in the Thirteenth is one that seems likely to become historic. Mr. Moorman’s vigorous personality is one of . the assets of Republicans In the north end of the state. He” is slated to win, but he will work hard every minute of the campaign on behalf of all the candidates on the Republican ticket.
