There are almost as many political camps in Indianapolis at the present time as there were during the primary campaign last spring. , Where in the past it has been customary for the state committee to take charge after the tickets have been chosen, such has not been the case within the Republican ranks in Indiana.

Robinson has an indivi_({ual organization in this city. ; | In addition there was founded within the last’ few days the Inde-. pendent Equality for Agriculture Club the anti-Hoover association. There is no friction between the Republican state committee and the separate organizations it has been }stated, the purpose being dnly to strengthen the chances of the candidates.
Oscar G. Foellinger of Fort Wayne who heads the organization which will put Hoover for president clubs in every county in Indiana and his associates say they are prepared to meet every move made: by the Independent Equality for Agriculture club.
The Independent Equality for Agriculture Club will affiliate closely with the agricultural committee of the Democratic state committee. It has as its campaign manager L. F. Shuttleworth former manager of the purchasing department of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation. While officially keeping out of politics, the farm bureau federation has let it be
known that it favors Al Smith Democratic presidential’ nominee ‘over Hoover because of the farm plank in
the Democratic national platform, Both Republicans [and Democrats took opportunity at the state fair during the last week to distribute their campaign literfiture to thousands of men and women Each party had a large teant with many active workers . ‘.

Allen and his instructors of the Ligonier sehools ’ui.'ging“ co-operation in the px‘-gtecfiou of school pupils and the public. The bulletin reads in part as follaws: ;
“Railroads have always had a peculiar- fascination for boys and girls and it often happens that boys will climb cars, walk railroad tracks, not thinking that they are 'in danger. “At Ligonier we have a certain group of boys that are constantly loafing around the Railroad Tracks hop on and off cats standing in the vards, and sometimes when cars are in motion, every effort has been made to break up this practice but I regret to say that it still exists. “The New York Central Railroad Co. beginning every school term issue safety bulletins to school superintendents that are located in Towns along their tracks and ask them to give their full co-operation in placing tljese bulletins in each school rcom, and have every school teacher explain to the children what danger exists when crossing the Railroad Tracks or. loafing around Railroad Tracks and jwmping on and off cars while in motion, with such co-opera-tion we are bound to get good results.”,
