AMERICAN LEGION.

FFTWET AFR INDIANA. TUESDAY. MAY 4, 1920- *

VOTERS IN CONTROL TODAY

- - : — - --- — — ; ■ INDIANA, PIVOT STATE, AND CALIFORNIA. OCCUPY THE LIMELIGHT. The Indiana primary campaign came to a close last night and today the voters will register their choice. Chief interest, of course, centers on the Republican ballots because of the hot race among the presidential and gubernatorial candidates, and all indications point to an unusually large vote today. The absence of a spirited contest among the Democrats leads to the belief that that party poll a small vote. The eyes of the nation are watching for the Indiana result because of the bearing it will have on the presidential race and while California will also hold a primary today, the Hoosier contest transcends it in national importance. Three presidential contestants, Senator Warren G. Harding, Senator Hiram W. Johnson and MajGen. Leonard Wood, kept up their drives until the last minute last night, while the fourth entrant, Governor Frank O. Lowden, remained at his home in Springfield, 111., to await the final verdict. Senator Harding stopped at his 'headquarters in the Claypool hotel yesterday afternoon for a few , minutes en route from his home in Marion, 0., to Connersville, where he made the closing speech of his campaign last night. Senator Johnson fired his final shot at Marion last night, having addressed crowds at Lafayette in the morning and Wabash in the afternoon. Gen. Wood ended his campaign at Anderson after having addressed a monster mass meeting at Tomlinson hall in Indianapolis at noon. The general also spoke to big crowds at Seymour, Richmond and Muncie during the day. None of the presidential campaign managers would make definite predictions on the outcome, with the exception of Harry G. Hogan, Gen. Wood’s manager. Mr. Hogan declared that on the basis of estimates received from all parts of the state he believed the general’s plurality would be around 20,000The four presidential candidates have conducted strenuous campaigns in the state, all of them having entered practically every district on stumping tours. They have been supported by smoothly running organizations, and it is probably the first time in the history of the state that so much interest has been created in the candidacy of office seekers who- are not native Hoosiers. J , The gubernatorial contest, however, has divided interest with the presidential race. Since the first of the year the three candidates, J W. Fesler, Warren T. McCray and Edward C. Toner, have been sweeping the state and they also kept it up until the last moment last night. Mr. Fesler addressed a meeting in Martinsville last night, Mr. Toner spoke in Muncie and Mr. McCray in Gary. At the outset of the campaign four contestants were seeking the nomination, but Edgar T. Bush of Salem dropped out several weeks ago. All three of the headquarters expressed confidence yesterday that they would be victorious, the Fesler and Toner camps predicting pluralittes and the McCray camp openly claiming a majority.

CAPT HAGINS RECEIVES LONG DELAYED CERTIFICATE

Captain J. L. Hagins, civil war veteran, was very happy Monday when the mails brought him his long delayed certificate of membership in the Society of the Army of the Potomac. The Society has been in existence since shortly after the war, but it was only about a year ago that Mr. Hagins decided to enroll himself as a member. There are but few survivors of the famous war organization. The following letter was received by Mr. Hagins: “Headquarters Society of the Army of the Cumberland, 24 Crushed Road, Chattanooga, Tenri. My Dear Comrade: Under separate cover I am sending your long delayed certificate of membership of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland. Only in the last mail did I receive the certificate from Secretary Gaghan. He did not explain the delay, but 1 think he must have been out of blanks. I am very proud of mine, which bears the signature of Major General Rosecrans. You see I had that advantage by reason of long membership. The commanders are long since dead, so of the corps, divisions, brigades, and with few exceptions, so of its regiments. Only the men of the battlehne are left to tell the story of its campaigns and battles. With best wishes that the future may be kind to the regular guard, 1 and that we may again rally around our colors and talk of the old days | and the dear comrades who have passed away, I remain, . _ S ORLA&DO Ur SOMERS.” Mr. Somers is the past president of the Society and past national commander of the G.
