FARM REVOLT PERILS G. 0. P. IN STRONGHOLD Second District Rural Area Bitter Against Wood and Watson. (Continued From Page One) ' where Republicanism is a family heritage, handed down with the flintlock and the old spinning wheel. Yet the popularity of the state and national tickets insures possibility of victory. To gauge betteV the election outlook, let us examine separately each of the thirteen counties in the Second district. The reason for the small majorities is that the counties are sparsely populated, agriculture being the vocation followed. Benton—An average Republican majority of 1,000. Good Democratic organization working in an almost exclusively rural community. Democratic by approximately 25a votes. Carroll—Normal G. O. P. majority 500. Agricultural resentment and popularity of Roosevelt, McNutt and Van Nuys and excellent Durgan connections mean that it Fill go Democratic by at least 200. Good Democratic Organzation Cass—Went Democratic by less than 200 in 1922 and 1930. Has ■trong remnants of Klan organisation, but has best Democratic organization in state under supervision of McHale and Pansier. Will go Democratic by approximately 1,000. Fulton—Republican average 700 majority. Wood is credited with bringing a national fish hatchery to the county and this is expected to aid him. McNutt and Van Nuys will run ahead of Roosevelt. By giving the Republicans all 300 of the doubtful votes polled, the Democrats may lose by 250. But there 3s a possibility of a toss-up, or a Democratic majority of 150. Jasper—Republican average majority of 1,500. Democrats hope to carry it by 500 votes. But a tie .would be a break. Kosciusko—Although the Democrats have elected county and city officials, the Republican national and congressional ticket received pluralities as high as 3,377 votes in 1920. Best break for thp Democrats came in 1930, when they lost the county for the congressional candidate by only 89 votes. Organization work is excellent in both parties and the fight is close. A close vote here would help the Democratic majority in the district. Heads of the Democratic state and national tickets are extremely popular, while Watson is reviled by both business men and farmers. Here Is Turnover Marshall—Republican by majorities ranging from 112 to 1,281. Although dry, Wood and Watson are so hated and the Democratic state and national tickets so well liked that it is estimated to go Democratic by approximately 750. If the Democrat would give the Republicans all the 1.000 doubtful votes, the G. O. P. could carry the county by only 200 votes. Republican business men and farmers declare that they will vote national and state Democratic tickets and support their own county nominees. Newton —Republican average majority of 750 will be cut because of unpopularity of Watson and Wood, but Democrats have uphill battle. Porter—This is the Republican holy of holies. There have been campaigns where there were not enough Democrats to fill the election boards, the G. O. P. majorities running as high as 4,835. But the Democratic state and national tickets have made terrific inroads and a close vote would mean a Democratic victory. Van Nuys won a hostile audience here last week with his liberal stand. Another Switch Here Pulaski—The article is being written in this county, which surprised even itself in 1930, when it gave the Democratic candidate for secretary of state a majority of thirtyeight votes, the only county in the fiLstrict to do so. In 1928 it gave the Democratic fcongressional candidate a majority of twenty, and in 1930 a majority of eighty-five. Normally 200 Republican, it will go Democratic for the national and state tickets by approximately 450 votes. Starke —Although usually 350 Republican, this county amazed observers when it went Democratic by ninety-two in 1930/ Encouraged by this, the Democratic organization Is working enthusiastically and is expected, because of unpopularity of the Republican ticket, to bring Jt into the fold by approximately | two hundred votes. Tippecanoe —This is the tough .fcgg. Although it is Durgan’s home county and he has been elected and re-eJected mayor of Lafayette for (eighteen years, the county has always gone Republican Ly majorizes of from 2,500 to 4,500, because ,tyood also claims to reside here. The Incumbent congressman has the support of Henry Marshall’s Republican paper, but personally he is not yery popular. Stand Hurts Wood His half-wet and half-dry attitude does not help Wood here. The Republicans claim the county by between 2.000 and 2.500 votes, which •would win the district for him, but the Democratic organization, under Harry Schultz, has put up a bitter battle, and expects to cash in on BDpularity of the state and national ckets. No estimate of the majority of feither party can be made, because of the uncertainty caused by the heavy vote at Purdue university in (West Lafayette, which, as an engineering school, feels friendly toward engineer Hoover. White—Republican by an average bf 750 votes.- It is expected to slough much of this G. O. P. majority and go Democratic by 150 or 200 votes, because of its proximity to Lafayette and its intimate acquaintance with Durgan. This close contact with the larger city also makes for a strong wet sentiment. Under this estimate, the Democrats have an excellent chance to win or lose by only a small maJ event of either possibility, that party ©an consider itself lucky, because the Second district on paper ordinarily figures to go Republican .* hy 24,000 votes*
