Regular Republicans acknowledge Albert J. Beveridge is favored to win Indiana and likely carry Putnam County against Harry New. Anti-boss candidates seek county nominations as the party machine led by Reut Bartley mobilizes to rally voters. Machine control of election boards complicates Beveridge and anti-boss efforts, especially in Putnam County where New lacks support.
