Denny of Portland to the democratic state convention, asking that he be named for lieutenant governor of Indiana. His candidacy was born in this city, when the district convention was held here, and Adams county will take pride in boosting him for the place Jay county has never had a democratic state officer and in presenting the name of Mr. Denny they are offering one of their 1 favorite sons, a young man of sterling qualities and al) the requisites necessary to make a splendid candidate and a worthy official. His democracy is twenty-four karat, traced back through three generations and growing with each. He has the honor of having served with much credit as the first democratic mayor of Portland, in 1902, and has always been a leader of affairs in this district. His boom is growing as his record is searched arid investigated. Watch o>:t for Denny. The republican editors of Indiana endorsed Mr. Taft's candidacy at their meeting Friday, and voted for the county unit. Os course, that don't mean exactly that they will be able to have these things done, but simply that it would be good politics if they could. The vote on the option question was eighteen to fifteen, close enough to prove that it’s not a sincerity on the temperance problem, but simply an effort to figure out which would get the greatest number of votes for the republican ticket. A friend of James E. Watson asserts that the former republican candidate for governor will run for congress in the sixth district and that the congressional convention will be held in Richmond. This should be good news to the republicans of Wayne county, among whom, said Mr. Watson, in his celebrated Newcastle speech, theie are "more political crooks" than can be found in any other county in Indian'’. Theodore Roosevelt is still sitting on the fence, as regards the presidential nomination, ready’ to spring either way, should it become necessary. While the strenuous one claims he is not a candidate in the sense that Wilson and Harmon is, he is fixing »>p ev~ry fence pt Bslblc and if the opportun ity comes, every man and child in the United States knows that he will accept. The Ward Fence company believes in advertising, as is demonstrated by the two page display which appeared
