High license law gains momentum in Indiana legislature

Bryan in Indiana and the Second District
The Washington Democrat misstates Mr Bryan's Indiana tour. The article notes Bryan dedicated heavy attention to the Second Indiana district, daylong campaigning to aid Cyrus E Davis for Congress, praising him widely.
Bryan campaign results spark mixed returns in Second district
An analysis shows Democrats gained 700 votes district wide in the off year, while Republicans rose by over 1,800. In Sullivan and Greene counties Bryan drew large crowds, yet GOP gains exceeded Democratic gains in every county, challenging the notion of a Bryan stronghold. The Davis letter praising Gompers’Getter is criticized as harmful to party integrity.

Public Depositories Debated in Indian Legislature Session
Republicans and Democrats pledge to enact a public depositories law this winter session. Expect contention over bill character as representatives and senators debate. In the end, virtually all lawmakers may vote for it to ensure public funds are safeguarded.
Public funds distribute fairly to banks with safe interest
The author argues for a state law to distribute public deposits among banks by financial strength, not politics. A minimum two percent interest rate would keep funds closer to the people, limit discrimination, and prevent a single bank from monopolizing public money in Daviess County and beyond.

If 1900 voters backed Bryan then would have won in Indiana
The piece argues that if the men who voted for Bryan for president and Kern for governor in 1900 had supported the current Democratic state ticket, it would have carried by about 12,000. It contrasts 1900 Democratic 309,000 and current Republican 294,000 with large groups of McKinley and Roosevelt supporters in 1900 and 1904, noting the “IF” blocks many Indiana Democrats' possible actions.
