He goes further and offers to bet
even money that they can beat
Roosevelt
It should be admitted at this point
that the Indiana man In question
is a very enthusiastic Republican
On the other hand he is eminently
practical and his judgment Is very
cold For example personal ego
tism and blind partisan optimism
were so lacking In him a few years
ago that when he saw the Demo-
cratic tidal wave coming he did
not run for reelection
THE INDIANA INFLUENCE
But he still retains all his interest
nd so on his visit back home he
went up and down the state inquir-
ing into trends
His conviction as a result of this
trip is that Indiana Is going Repub-
lican this fall His offers to bet
about the presidential election are
based of course largely on his find-
ings In Indiana
There Is a conviction on the part
of some people who do not live In
Indiana and were not born there
that Hooslers ore Inclined to ex
aggcrate the political Importance i
of their state especially the notion
that as goes Indiana so goes the
M
nation
But the word from Indiana to-
gether with the bitter factional war
ot the Democrats in Illinois and the
Republican trends manifested in
Ohio and Pennsylvania Indicate
that this presidential battle will be
a horse race
ErECT srnnAD of war
Heres one to try on your atlas
or globe with a ruler or tope
measure
The allies right now are dickering
or release of Uncle Sams flying
fortress bombers They Intimate
they might buy 50 or 60 ol them
The point Is of course for what
Up to now our experts had thought
this particular type of plane would
be useful only In the Western hem
isphcrc The so called medium
bombers are able to take oft with a
full load of bombs fly from 700 to
800 miles to on objective drop their
bombs and return with a fair mar-
gin of safety as to fuel supply
The socalled flying fortress is
able to extend this radius from 800
miles to more than 1500 But ex-
cept for this tremendous Increase
in range they have no advantage
whatever For the shorter ranges
the not so huge bombers arc infinite-
ly superior In speed Two of them
would carry Just as much of an ex-
plosive load as the flying fortress
and tho two would not only cost
much less than the one big fellow
but would be able as a result ol
their greater speed to have a much
better chance both of achieving their
objective and ot returning safely
BOMBERS COMPARED
The speed of the medium bomb-
er Is in excess ot 350 miles an hour
while that of the flying fortress
Is only about 200 miles an hour
Obylously in the element of a sur
prise attack the faster bombers
would be much more likely to gel
through to theirobjective before de-
fense either ot antiaircraft guns
ai the moment ot attack or bf right
ing planes to meet them en route
could be brought Into successful ac-
tion
tionThen there Is the question ot get-
ting home safely Obviously again
the flying fortress would have to
have a considerable start en route
home to be safe from pursuing fight
ing planes Whereas the medluni
bomber would have to hay very
little start Indeed to preventIts be-
ing overtaken by lighting planes
Nor Is there any possibility thai
any of these angles ot superiority
by the smaller bombers has been
overlooked by the foreign experts
They loiow 811 about tho subject In
fact they come pretty close to
knowing i the answers Realizing
this our experts have been scratch
fog their beads at to why ill allies
Wont the big ones
