MANY VOTERS VOLUNTEERING Indianapolis. — (Special.) — With the balloting for national, congressional, state and county candidates less than three months distant Republicans in Indiana are showing the utmost activity in the organization of their campaign program. Great progress has been made in the state organization and voters are eagerly volunteering their aid to the state committee in the efforts that are being made to poll a heavy majority for the national and state tickets and to re-elect a solid Republican delegation to Congress from this State. Indiana Republicans now hold every seat in the two national legislative branches and they are determined to keep them. Prospects Bright. “The prospects for a decisive Republican victory in November are exceedingly bright,” E. M. Wasmuth, chairman of the Republican state committee, said in an interview here. “One of the most encouraging developments of the early campaign is the great number of workers who have come forward to volunteer their services. This demonstrates in 'convincing fashion that the people are eager to see Republican principles upheld at the polls.” Organization of first voters’ clubs has been completed in a number of counties, Schuyler C. Mowrer, who Is in charge of the work for the state committee, has « announced. Many Harding-for-President clubs have also been formed. One of the most flourishing is the Indianapolis club which has a membership of several hundred and will make a pilgrimage to Senator Harding’s home August 28. Both the Marion and Columbia clubs of Indianapolis will join in making the trip to Marion a gala occasion and it will be made the occasion for an “Indiana Day,” hundreds of Harding boosters from other parts of the State, having sent word that they will join the Indianapolis club on this trip. All Republicans who care to make the trip are being urged to join the party. Arrangements have been made to charter a special train to carry 1,000 or more.
