WALSH IN SURVEY Of

COITIONS Says G. 0. P. Will be lucky to Get Bare Control of Congress By GEORGE R. HOLMES WASHINGTON, Oct. 24. The penSulum which two years ago swung the Republicans Into power In aU branches of the federal government Is swinging back this year with such momentum that the Republicans will be lucky If they get past November 7 with a bare control of congress. It wai asserted today by Senator Davia I. "Walsh. Democrat, of Massachusetts, returning from a rapid survey of political conditions west of the AUeghenles. Senator "Walsh, who as chairman f the Democratic senatorial committee, has had the direction bf a good part of the opposition fight this fall, did not predict that the Demoorats would regain control of eongress. The Republicans are conBdent that actual control cannot be taken away from them this year, and conservative Democratic pokesmen privately agree with them, but by common censent It is also agreed by some that Democratic gains are only two weeks away. "Our gains will be general." said Senator Walsh, "but particularly will we gain In the -west. Tariff, taxation and the general depression that has struck the great growing sections of the country under Republican policies all these factors combine to bring the west back Into the Democratic fold." Against the claims set up hy Senator "Walsh, the Republicans elalmea today to be certain of capturing some senatorial seats In the west now held by Democrats particularly In Nobtaska, Arizona, New Mexico and Montana. Republican spokesmen asserted that the defeat of Senator Hltchaock of Nebraska; who led the League of Nations fight for "Woodrow "Wilson two years ago. Is now asaured. They based their assertions largely upon the entry into Ihe campaign of Senator George "W. Morris, Nebraska, with an endorsement of R- B. Howell, Hitchcock's Republican opponent. Norris has been out of the campaign for three months. Last night he made his first speech for Howell it "West Toint Neb., and from now on until November 7 ha will make two speeches a day. Hitchcock, however, is not going lown without a battle, and his Democratic friends In the capital by no pieans conceded that he will be retired. Backed by the famous Bryan brothers "William Jennings and Brother Charlie" Hitchcock is turning the slate upside down with hard campaigning. He also has sllclted the support of a number of Democratic women speakers. HOT FIGHT IN OHIO "While the Nebraska campaign Is becoming strenuous, it Is upon Dhlo. the home state of President Harding, that both parties are concentrating their heaviest efforts. Mid 'will continue to do so for the aext two weeks. Six members of " President Harding's cabinet already have appeared on speaking platforms in Ohio, and. the next two weeks will see more "of them. Ohio is the cockpit of the struggle the Democrats are Intent upon rapturing the state because a Democratic Ohio could be portrayed as a "repudiation of tho president." The Republicans are engaged In feverish activities to win the state because a Republican Ohio would be portrayed as an "endorsement" of the national administration. Even candidates in other states re being "drafted" to go into Ohio for campaign work. Albert J. Beverldge has sa.llled over the line from Indiana on occasion. Last night Senator James W. "Wadsworth of New York told a Cincinnati audience that "the eyes of tho nation and of the world are cn Ohio." GOT THE CHECKS It vfftl o niak' .'amn C'lifor.l Honk, of East Gary, pretty proud rhen automobiles with license plates from distant states drew up at his rarage to have repairs made.

ON IDEAL STRETCH Actual Cost of Model 40Foot Concrete Road, $56,000 a Mile. SPECIAL TO THE TIMES CROWN POINT. Ind., Oct. 23. The Sheffield avenue thirty-foot asphaltlc concrete pavement in Hammond cost the county J80.000 a mile while the "ideal stretch" of concrete road, on the Lincoln highway at Dyer, forty feet wide, which is being built by the Lincoln Highway Association will cost 156,000 a mile. . Although the Lincoln Highway Association Is spending about $100,000 a mile on tho improvement nearly half of that amount is being used for landscaping, ornamental lighting, tree planting and the over, head expenses of planning and executing the porject. Thousands of dollars were spent on expert engineering consultations and plans in order to mike it a . model roadway for the entire country. The concrete is trn inches thick and instead of wire, half inch steel rods are used for reinforcement. The road which is being laid now will last a life-time. Engineers declare It will be as good as now in twenty-five years. It is a mute rebuke to the type of roads that have been built In Lake county at enormous cost to the taxpayers. . The standard price on concrete roads, eighteen feet in width, is $25,000 in Illinois, Pennsylvania and other states. This price has been advertised in all trade journals as just and sufficient. E SENT TO JAIL INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 24. A. B. Anderson, judge of the federal court, Saturday sent Demetri Economoff, a Gary lawyer, to the Marion cunty Jail for an indefinite time on a charge of contempt of court.

Cement Dust Nuisance in Twin Cities Stirs Up Liveliest Campaign THEY'RE OFF I Fifty women are in the field today taking subscriptions. More than a dozen civic and social organisations have volunteered tsslstance In this drive. Ten thousand obligation blanks representing that many dollars are in the hands of workers. Forty thousand citizens of the Twin Cities are awaiting the outcome. An army of Twin City women have taken the offensive for the abatement of the cement dust nuisance from the Bufflngton plant,' when armed today with petitions and obligation blanks they started a city-wide drive for backers and funds to remove the "menace." THE OBUGATIO.V As credentials In the hajds of workers, the obligation reads: "We, the undersigned residents of the city of East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, being sufferers from the cement dust nuisance caused by the Universal Portland Cement company allowing clouds of dust to pass over and settle upon our city, wishing to abate that nuisance, do hereby subscribe a "Widow s Mite" in the sum of One ($1.00) Dollar in order to raise a fund sufficient to cause the abatement of such nuisance, and thereby preserve the health and property of our community, making It a decent place in which self-respecting citizens may reside." RESULTS ASTONISHING Results obtained during- the morning's canvass of East Chicago is reported to be astonishing. With but few exceptions, housewives on this city of. the city are said to be subscribing a "widow's mite" in. the ume of $1.00 without hesitation. Should the families of Indiana Harbor be found as willing to Join the army of nuisance abaters the subscription towards this fund is expected to reach better than $10,000. George H. Lewis, president of the Chamber of Commerce and chief mogul in the cement dust nuisance drive, seems optimistic as to the outcome of the campaign. "There is nothing to do but have those plants shut down unless the dust Is abated," sal 1 Mr. Lewis. "East Chicago-Inidana Harbor is now a city of 40,000 citizens, all human people who are entitled to a decent place to live In and protection for their health and property." Mrs. Golda E. Miller is dhector of the women workers. An extensive campaign of residents In the west end of the city will be made by the workers before invading Indiana Harbor territory. It is said. The purpose of this arrangement is to create enough enthusiasm in one section of the city so as to arouse the interest of the citizens of the other end to give their support. OFFICER'S SON DIES " OF DREAD DISEASE With measured pace and slow, policeman Mike Byelich paced his 'beat for him, last night, the longest in the World. For Jt carried him, finally, at 3:00 o'clock In the morning to his own door where with faltering courage horn of suspense and anxiety he stepped softly across the threshold and looked down Into the face of Johnny, aged five, his oldest, dead. Policeman Byellch had weJked his beat to guard hundreds of homes from the terrors of the night. Physical terrors, man made and perpetrated. But his own he could not guard. His six feet four, of sinew and bone; his braveryr even his love for Johnny were unavailing against the pitiless ravages of the disease that carried away his oldest. Sunday, Johnny played and was happy. Early this morning he was dead. Viictlm of a virulent form of riiTMherla that struck suddenly, fatally. The funeral cf the boy will he he'd tomorrow afternoon at 2 p. m. from Policeman Byelich's home, 1075 Columbia avenue. Interment will be made at' Oak Hill. Johnny Is survived by a sister and brother.

Democratic Generals are Not So Pesky As They Were frorTtT1 HeCtl0n JU8t tWO ws from today, the Republican cam?oaw.Vn Jndiana 13 etin mowing in mate y connected with politic, IVX , V- Eomet! when the high point of public enthusiasm is reached too early and then begins to drop, it is fatal. ,.tThryth0Ut thls mpalgn the trend has been with the Republican cause in the state generally. Even Democratic leaders have not been able to look through rosv spectacles and see victory for their state ticket at any time during the campaign, but. of course, they have been looking forward with hope that there will develop some unexpected break in the ranks of the opopsition. Hopes of such a break, it now appears, have completely disappeared. VOTE MADE EVIDENT Up to four weeks ago the Democratic generals felt rather perky in some of the congressional districts, especially in sections which were traditionally hostile to Republicanism before the elections of 1916 and 1918. But four weeks ago Albert J. Beveridge. Republican nominee for United States senator, Senator James E. Watson, Governor McCray and many other speakers of state and national importance started to carry the G. O. P. banner to every section of Hooslerdom. , In these four- weeks it la very likely that Republican votes have not been made, but merely been made evident. Up to the beginning of the formal speaking campaign there existed .a great deal of apathy which the Democrats,' who started their campaign much earlier, interpreted as favorable to them. The existence of an unmistakable Republican trend can be appreciated more in districts like the Twelfth, which at one time was known as the "green spot" of Democracy, rather than in districts which always have a top-heavy Republican majority, VOTE OF ALLEY COUNTY The vote of Fort Wayne and Allen county was the cause oftthe Twelfth district being a "greert spot" for Democracy prior to 1916. Therefore, the present outlook in Allen county is of more than passing notice as a basis for predicting the outcome not only in the Twelfth district, but in the state. In the spring the Democrats of Allen county were more than optimistic. There was a m,-. d scramble for the county nominations on the Democratic ticket. There were ten candidates lor the nomination for sheriff. The Republicans, on the other hand, diafted a part of their county ticket. This condition was more eloquent than words. The Democrats thought the county was cinched and the Republicans were inclined to believe them. Now the betting is even money on the county ticket. Local leaders In both parties admit that the battle for the election of the county ticket is close and that there is a likelihood of some nominees of both parties being elected. The stock of Al Abbott, sheriff and seeking re-election, is running particularly high because of his record for law en forcement. But other Republican nominees on the county ticket are running equally strong. BEVEKIDGE WILl, WU As to the vote for Mr. Beveridge in Allen county, there Is no difference of opinion. It Is admitted on all sides that In this Democratic county which on the basis of days gone by should be from 4,000 to 6,000 Democratic Mr. Beveridge will win easily. In fact, it Is declared that his remarkable strength will give such Imputus to the ticket that some believe the Republican victory for the local ticket will be o rwhelmin:. The impression existed In the state during the summer that if any Indiana congressman would have a hard fight it would be Louis W. Fairfield of Angola In the Twelfth district. Now the local leaders declare that ihe district outside of Allen county Is sure to pile ur a large Republican majority. Allen county would have to go more than 4,000 Demociatic to make Fairfield's chances for success shaky. Throughout the past week the Republican meetings addressed .by Mr. Beveridge in the Eighth, Twelfth and Eleventh districts have been attended by crowds so large that they resemble demonstrations in a presidential campaign. One feature of the week. Interest- 1 ing because !t shows the relative drawing powers of Mr. Beveildge and his Democratic opponent, Samuel M. Ralston, occurred at Portland. Both nominees were scheduled to speak In Portland at the same hour In the afternoon, Mr. Ralston had less than 200 persons, mostly men. at his meeting, while Mr. Beveridso spoke In a theatre with 1,000 seats, all of which wers filled and many persons were standing to hear his address. In some of the larger cities tt appears that the Democrats are attempting to work a mouth to ear wet campaign. They are not coming out in the open advocating a repeal of the Volstead law, but are passing the word around In pool rooms and other places where persons likely to have wet tendencies congregate. But the voters In other sections are learning about these underhand vet appeals and it appears that In the rural districts the Democats are going to suffer on this issue.
