Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 262, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 November 1914 — Republicans in Indiana Elected Two Congressmen. [ARTICLE]

Republicans in Indiana Elected Two Congressmen.

Republicans elected only two congressmen in Indiana, William R. Wood, in this district to succeed John B. Peterson, of Crown Point, and Merrill Moores to succeed Korbly, of the Indianapolis district. Wood’s plurality will be near 5,000, while Moores’ will be about 4,000. All other Indiana congxessmen will be democratic. The democratic majority in the lower branch of congress will be very much reduced; in fact, it is possible that it will not consist of more than 23. The republican gain exceeded the estimate made two weeks ago by The Chicago Tribune and The New York World. The latest reportstoday indicate that Shively has carried Indiana bf a plurality of about 25,000 and that the democratic state ticket was elected by about the same margin.
