Gov. Durbin wants to a the Senate, and so do four or five Indiana Congressmen. This, with fij1 great ability as a campaigner and his high character, removes doubts of Republican supremacy, and the fears lest Indiana fmMng into the Democratic column are 111 founded. Wisconsin Muddle Serious.

New York gives President Roosevelt and his ndvisors more trouble than all the others. The unceasing warfare I there between Senator Piatt and Gov. Odell Is giving Denpcrats more hope this year than lor a long time, and every effort to end the controversy has been unavailing. Dang-er Will Soon Pass. Although it is feared that these family jars in certain States may not be conducive to Republican majorities In November, on the other hand they may be regarded as proof that the Republicans Re-publicans feel peculiarly strong in these States, and having no formidable opponent op-ponent In the Democracy, have fell to fighting each other, as usually happens under such circumstances. When, the two great parties finally line npfor the national contest much, of the factional bitterness which has been engendered over State nominations nomina-tions will disappear. The unanimity of sentiment for the President's nomination nomina-tion Is looked to as likely to bring all Republicans together for a winning fight against the common enemy in the national campaign. It Is pointed out that there is another lesixm to be learned in the many revolts re-volts now pending against machine domination In the various States. |
