Democratic Leader Takes Trip To Llano Grande Camp.

Llano Grande, Tex., Sept. 27. Fred VanNuys, tenderfoot, former state senator, runner-up for the democratic nomination for lieutenantgovernor and HooSier gentleman, landed in camp last night just about the time that coyotes and bobcats were beginning their disquieting music m the brush surrounding the tented city. He spent the night in camp as a guest of Col. L. R. Naftzger of the First Indiana infantry. Mr. VanNuys came here to look after the registration of any democrat voters he can find in camp. It Js said that a representative of the republican party is soon to arrive to obtain the registration of anti-admfn-istration voters. Both the democratic and republican leaders, it seems, just happened to remember that a few thousand Hoosier voters are far from home and they naturally have taken a sudden interest in them now that the campaign is in full swing. There is no assurance that they will get back to Indiana to cast their ballots, but they would be registered just the same, so that they may vote if they do return by the first Tuesday in November. There is no law- to permit Indiana sol fliers to vote in the field. “Gosh! If the democrats find out how the soldiers stand on this Wil-son-Mexican policy, we won’t get home tilh after the election,” commented an Indiana soldier when he heard of the arrival of the democratic politician.
