OOSE NEWS SEEMS

TO BE IflSTLY BULL H

TIMES BlTREAr. AT STATE CAPITAI Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 23. That the Bull Mooan a.r seeking: to make mountains out of mole hills In regard to tho way they are raking In the votrs trrr the state U clearly shown by report that are coming in to the Republican state headquarters from vari

ous places. For several weeks the Bull Mooters have been spreading the report of disaffection in the Republican ranks, and if one were to read the published reports In some of the Bull Moose papers he would be led to the conclusion that nearly everybody In both of the old parties were falling over themselves in their wild rush to get Into the new party. Reports have been given out that in certain counties practically all of the members of the Republican county committees have resigned, and that the remaining mem-

to make a reorganisation. Just how close this report came to the truth Is

shown by the report made by Paul Comstock, the Republican county chairman. "The fact Is that only about one third of the members of the "county committee resigned," he said. "And this Is in the face of the fact that

Wayne county is supposed to be one of the strongest Progressive counties in the state. According to reports sent out by the Progressives there were townships in Wayne county In which there were no Republicans left to take

the places of the committeemen that j resigned. But this was not true, j Every vacancy has been filled with 4

good, straight, honest, "hard working loyal Republicans, of whom there are many In every part of Wayne county who have not been lured away by the Bull Moose cry. The fact Is that there

of the red-flre, whirlwind, brass band campaign which the Bull Moose are

conducting In the hope that they may attract so much attention with their noise as to attract the voters and cause them to believe that the new party Is sweeping everything before It. It Is a cleverly laid plan, but that It Is bound to fall when the truth of the situation becomes known is very plain to those who are watching the course of events. Wayne county, in which Richmond Is located. Is a good example of the kind of reports that are being sent out by the Bull Moosers. There has for years

. been Republican disaffection In Wayne county, but It has been due to lnterr party affairs rather than to anything else. Factions have torn the party in every campaign lh recent years, but the district has always come through with Is usual majority for the Republican national ticket. But a short time ago the Bull Mooters gave out a report, which was published in a number of papers, to the effect that the Wayne county Republican committee had practically all resigned to Join the Bull Moose movement. According to the report the Bull Moose crusade was sweeping the county from end to end, leaving nothing for the Republicans but a desolate waste. It.,wos reported that after the Bull Moosers got through resigning there wre not enough Republican members left on the county committee

hear of it in the country.

Mr. Comstock's explanation of the situation in Wayne county will come

as a surprise to many persons who j read the Bull Moose reports and got j the idea that Wayne county had gone ; body and breeches to the Bull Moose j

party. But It only shows the kind of stuff that is being sent out by them to stir up enthusiasm. A letter that came from the secretary of the Rpubllcan county committee in a northern Indiana county also throws light on the reports that are being sent out about widespread disloyalty of Republican committeemen.

It shows, too, that there is a very great sentiment among men who favored the nomination of Roosevelt at

the Republican national convention against following the Roosevelt bolt. This letter, which was received by Fred A. Sims, Republican state chairman, is as follows: "It has been my intention to write you for some time. I have been told repeatedly that the state committee has been informed that the Republican organization in this county is not loyal to the Republlccn party and its nominees. I want t say to you- that such is not the case. Both the county chairman and myself were Roosevelt men before the Chicago convention, as we had a right to be. When the convention made its nomination and adopted Its platform we were willing to abide by its action. The same is

There are five and possibly six pre

cinct committeemen who are not loyal. At the proper time their places will be

vacated and filled by loyal Republicans. "It is to be a long, hard fight, and we want the backing of both 'the district and state chairmen. This was one of the strongest Roosevelt counties in the state, bujt I think we will get the great majority of the party lined up on the right side. For instance, a local factory was a hot bed of Progressives. The superintendent lined up and we sent him to the state convention as a delegrate. He was made chairman of our county delegation and is now working tooth and nail to line up the men at the factory. I am told that only two out of fifty Republicans at this factory will go with the new party. This same situation Js In effect in another factory and other places In the city." At the state headquarters this letter is said to be only a sample of the kind

WHAT WILL. BE WOHX NEXT FALL. The approach of the fall buying season, accompanied by more favorable

temperatures, has lent

stimulus to the distribution of dry

goods and to the placing of new season orders, says the Dry Goods Economist. The generally good crop prospects have, no iloubt, been an important factor. This indicated by the fact that western Jobbers have booked liberal advance fall orders for all classes of textiles. To some extent this condition Is also reflected in the eastern centers. Both heavy and sheer cotton materials are being freely ordered for spring, 1913, but intermediate weights are less favored. Converters of printed dress Roods are making a quick end of left-overs at prices that are attractive to distributors. Mills producing serges for dress

purposes are making deliveries of fall r ciallv

jjoods, and prices are firm. Fine wool-! en dress goods are fairly active. In

terest in broadcloths is increasing and' the recently established advance of 5 per cent is being paid. Advance orders on velvets are being delivered, and foreign manufacturers are well supplied with business. On, fancy fcknit goods business has

considerable, been stimulated by the popularity of

oiazers ana ."Norrolk coats, and a big rush for such merchandise is expected this month and next. The increase in our tariff has caused far more of the flne-gaguge hosiery of German make most of( which formerly came to this country to be distributed elsewhere. This new outlet has enabled makers to rslse prices, to American Importers 15 to 25 per cent, and in addition, many , numbers are being withdrawn from sale by cable several times a week. In the lace market the principal features are the shortage of Venise ball trimmings and the pronounced activity in Nottingham bands. Embroideries show some improvements, esne-

in the cheaper varieties. In
