All have returned Eas to write positive reports that Indiana still ig overwhelmingly a Democratic state. Without exception they report: “If the election were held today Indiana would support Roosevelt.”

The Boston Transcript was first to mt,iz(e such a survey and to arrive at the “Roosevelt-firmly-holds-Indi ana"»&)nclugsion along in August. The Washington Star and a representativ: of the Scripps-Howard papers made the same report in September. In October, Paul Mallon who writes for a syndicate of papers travelled the country over and found no defzction of Roosevelt popularity in Indiana. The latest survey has been condua:ied by Russell B. Porter special political writer for The New York Times. Indiana’s present political complexfon is described as follows in M. Porter’s article in The * New York Times: . ; ; “If the election were held today, the best informed political observers here believe that President Roogevelt would gt Indiana’s 14 electoral vores easily against virtually anv candidate ‘ the Republicans migh nominate. Rusi ness and industry are going ahead fast, workers are getting hack on thae payroll either through WPA or pr. vate employment and the farmers are happy with corn-hog checks and high prices.” . ' Note ig taken of the fact that Feder Reserve Bank reports for the Indiana district show all industry and business to be enjoying the pickuy.! Construction is twice the volume of a year ago. Retail saleg show a gain of 109% and Christmas trade was up 30%. Steel mills are running at €l% rper cent of capacity, which is dounle that of a year ago.

40 FIREMEN TREATED 3 Battle Blaze For 18 Hours In Near . Zero Weather At South Bend Thursday ‘More than 40 South Bend city firemen were under treatment for exposure and injuries Friday after their 13-hour fight with a fire in the downtown district which caused damage estimated at $125,000. American Legion volunteers were called to take ‘over duties of firemen incapacitated in the long fight in- the near zero temperatures. The. fire was limited to the front part of the store basemert, where a supply of coal smoldered. Firemen and Legion volunteers watch ed closely fearing a new outbreak in the conflagration. 7 Nine ambulances were used to take the firemen to hospitals. A first aid station was established in the Y. M.- . A, ‘ Six physicians worked over the vietims ordering the more serious cases to hospitals. : All the firemen sent to hospitals were reported recovering. Others confined to their homes were not in serious condition, physiciang said. The blaze destroyed th@ building in which the H. L. Green company was located. Damage to the building was estimated at $75,000 and the entire stock of the store, valued at $50,000 was destroyed. With water lines hampered by the lJow temperature and firemen almost freezing to their ladders, the blaze spread rapidly. It was believed the fire started in 2, wastebasket in the basement of the Greens store. Employes attempted to extinguish the blaze but it spread quickly and firemen were summoned. ' ' - The three-storied building was vell>d by dark clouds of smoke and liremen were driven from the building. The firemen were handicapped by inaccessibility of the basement. The firemen were equimid with gloveg and blanKets furnished by nearby merchantg and two kitchens were installed immediately to serve ] coffee. / ~ _Three hundred employes of an adjoining seven-storied department store building were sent to their homes when flameg threatened the structure. :
