Democrats Are Getting Busy For 1916 Campaign.

Bernard Korbly, democratic state chairman, and Charles Sallee, state secretary, are getting things ready for a flying start for the 1916 campaign. Letters are being sent to precinct committeemen, cornty chairmen and prominent party workers urging them to begin preparations early. The party leaders at the state house are said to be encouraged by a number of letters that have been received. It is probable that John Worth Kern will have no party opposition for the nomination for U. S. senator. There was some talk that Governor Ralston might enter the, race but that is not now likely. William H. O’Brien, of Lawrenceburg, formerly state auditor, will be a candidate for governor, and will open Indianapolis headquarters in a short time. Frank C. Dailey, U. S. district attorney, is apt to become a candidate. State Senator Fred VanNuys, of Anderson, is an active candidate and J. Kirby Risk, of Lafayette, will risk himself before the people on a state wide prohibition p 1 it form. Risk rtf an anti-Taggart man., but the antis have flattened out considerably and it is believed all will rally again about Smiling Tom. French Lick and the Denison hotel.
