Predicts G. O. P. Landslide in Indiana This Fall.

“Indiana will go from 35,000 to 75,000 republican this fall,” said Edward H. Schmidt, of Indianapolis, a prominent politician, who was in Washington this week. “I see all the earmarks of the 1904 campaign over again,” he said. “That year it was a landslide for the republicans and the same thing is going to happen this year. > “The people are thinking republican doctrines and they are for the republican candidates. There is a wonderful strong current of sentiment for the republican, party in Indiana this year* All we have to do is crystallize the sentiment and we will pile up a big majority.” Mr. Schmidt managed the campaign of Harry S. New for the republican nomination for United States senator in the Indiana primaries this year. Schmidt predicted that Indiana would gain five republican congressmen and possibly several more. ;
