OHIO, INDIANA, ARE
POLITICAL CALDRON
OF UNITED STATES
By Robert J. Binder
(Varus Praw BUf ebmspoadeoL)
Indisjispolis, Ind., Oct. 27. To
set Ohio and Indiana in political ac
tion today one might draw the con
clusion that the fate of the presi
dency, if not the nation, depended
upon what these two states do next
Tuesday.
, After seeing; and hearing of the rela
tive leathargy this year over the cam
paign, in many states, it is something
Of a shock to go throujrh Ohio and Indi
ana. Because of the old slogan that "as
Ohio goes so goes the nation," that state
Stands out with a distinctive interest
And its present fever heat, of course.
Is elevated by the fact that It not only
Is called upon to choose between two
favorite sons for president (to say
nothing of a third son, not so favored,
who Is running for the same office ta the
prohibition ticket) but it also is electing
' state offices from the governor down
and a United States senator to succeed
Warren O. Harding.
OOTEB50B COX GAIIfS
Because the fight In Ohio is still in
a stats of flux and because It is really
a side show distinctive unto Itself, I am
not passing final Judgment on the result
In that state until I hav had an op
portunity to more closely examine con
ditions in its northern centers.
As things stand today, Governor Cox
is gaining and Senator Harding losing
ground, but at a rate that would seem
to assure Harding, getting the electorate
vote of the state by something over 50,-
-000. The senatorahlp is a contest be
tween the rural and city districts. W. A.
ing, are some of the factors that should make these 4 days the most successful month-end sale days this
season. t
Living Up to Our Reputation
There are many years of careful merchandising back of the Wonder Millinery's reputation for superlative
values in beautiful trimmed hats.
These beautiful trimmed hats were formerly priced from $16. So to $20.00, are so
wonderful you will surely appreciate these hats at $12.85. Many pattern hats and hand
made hats, from our own work rooms, can be found in this group.

Julian is from Cincinnati, which center
has decided many state elections, and he
Is expected to run strong In the cities,
but former Governor Willis has carried
on a very effective campaign In the
rural communities and his victory, if
achieved, will come from that element
of the Ohio voters.
SENATORIAL FIGHT ,
In traveling through Ohio In not only
the, big cities but also the smaller ham
letsone Is Impressed by the closeness
of both the presidential and senatorial
races. Harding and Cox pictures dis
played in the homes run about equal
but if there is any margin it seems to
favor the Republicans. As to the cam
paign Itself, more later. Meantime, next
to Ohio, Indiana uffords the most re
markable demonstration of politics
raised to the nth power that probably
exists in the country today.
In -Indiana we have two masters of
the political gridiron, same Watson and
Thomas Taggart, opposing each other for
the senatorshlp. This fight, both In the
minds of these candidates, and. In fact,
in the minds of a majority of the voters,
transcends in importance the fight be
tween Cox and Harding for the presi
dential electoral votes. Each of these
men, with a powerful machine organiza
tion behind him, is trying desperately
to butt his way to the desired goal. Be
cause of the nature and bitterness of
the fight between them the result would
seem that Harding would have to carry
the state by better than 25,000 majority
over cox if Watson were reelected to
the senate.
WATSOIT DESPERATE
Two weesk ago Republican leaders
predicted Indiana would go to Harding
by 125,000. Today these same leaders
predict that he margin is more likely
to be around 60,000. From a general sur
vey of the situation throughout the state,
including observations by Republican
chieftains, Harding is not likely to carry
the state by more than 25,000.
And right here the desperate posi
tion of Watson begins.
There appears to be thousands of
voters in Indiana who are going to vote
for Harding, but who are going to vote
at the same time for Taggart. To off
set this tide the Republican national
organization has a galaxy of star speak
ers touring the state in Watson's be
half. The usual program is to have men

LEAGUE BIO IS8T7B j
During my trip through the stats I
attended these roundup .speeches by
Watson, one in Elkhart, and one In
Ooaben, which are In the so-called pro
gressive strongholds of Indiana. Wat
son did not make a generally favorable
Impression. The crowd which turned out
to hear him ws comparatively small In
the first place and many were noted to
leave during his speech, the keynote of
which appeared to be aa follows:
"Call the United States senate a cabal
If you will but It has stood as a bul
wark before American liberty. Thank
God, the constitution of the United States
still lives."
Watson's argument ts all against the
League of Nations and In Indiana the
league, more than in any state I have
visited In the last year, appears to be
the paramount Issue of the campaign,
Those who oppose Watson and still fa
vor Harding believe1 Harding wishes
a league and Watson doesn't. And then,
too. there 1 a split in the Republican
machinery which endangers his chance.
MEETINGS ARE FREQUENT
To get an idea of the intensity with
which the people are entering into the
situation, here are a few observations
made during visits to a half dosen dif
ferent cities and towns.
Political meetings are under way
everywhere. The movies turn their space
to the public for an hour at noon curing
which politicians of all shades may ad
dress the populace. Halls can be filled
at a few minutes' notice) anywhere. A
political orator can get off the train
at Terre Haute, Indianapolis, Logans part
or elsewhere, announce he wishes to
make a speech and in a few hours have
hand bills distributed, a fife and drum
corps marching down the main streets
of the town and a sufficient gathering
of the populace to fill a hall.
FLEAS FOR G. O. F. SENATE
At one of these theatres I heard the
causes of Harding, Cox, Debs and Chris-
tensen all pleaded with great fervency
during the space of the noon hour.
Indiana is placaded from side to side
and end to end with banners, signs and
pictures of the respective candidates.
In this the Harding leaders have the

; L
edge.; On organisation work however, ,
Taggart seems to kavsvputdone him long
reputation ; for a. quiet and effective
worker. He appears to have done vastly
better work among the women than the
Watson leaders.
The danger to Watson has thoroughly
aroused the RepubUoana. He, as well as
his spokesmen, are now vigorously
preaching the doctrine that It la no use
to elect Harding and then give him a
Demorcatlc majority In which to work
in the senate. Watson stressed this
point at great length In both the meet-,
lngs I heard him address and It is begin
ning to have an eleventh -hour effect
which may carry him through by a small
margin.
LABOR FOR DEMOCRATS
In Goshen the women, under the lead
ership of Mrs. O. M. Kinnlson, have done
registration work that la little short of
marvelous. Going out In machines they
have registered people in their homes
and at their places of business. I saw
Mrs. Kinnlson sign up three mechanics
at a garage while she had the spark
plugs changed In her auto. In many pre
cincts in upper Indiana the women's
registration is. greater than that of the
men.
While the labor organizations have
attempted to keep their work more or
less quiet Its scope and possible effect
can be accurately forecast. It Is safe to
predict that 90 per cent of this vote will
go to the Democrats. The trend to the
Democrats has been accelerated some
what by the fact that In the last few
dav this section has witnessed the lay
off by manufacturing establishments of
employes, and at the same time the ap
pearance of newspaper advertisements
for help in these same establishments,
the purpose being to get new employee
at leas wages than old employes drew.
MAT BEAT WATSON
As a whole the state of Indiana is po
litically wild. Mass meetings with red
fire and bands of all, descriptions (and
some indescribable) feature nightly meet
ings throughout the state. Indiana has
grievances against the Watson machine
and against the Wilson administration,
and she is giving life and color to her
outbursts on both.
Her fight is one Involving the presi
dency and the senatorship, and it would
appear today that if the Democrats were
to win in either office it would be the
senatorship.
