So far seventy-six delegates have been selected to the democratic convention, of which number sixty six are for Champ Clark and ten for Wilson. Clark secured twenty delegates in Kansas Thursday. Marion county is today holding the I primary election to select delegates i to the convention tomorrow, when na- ( tional delegates will be chosen. It's i one of the hottest fights ever witnessed in the capital city, with the Taft ] i forces apparently the more confident. . The elections in the First Indiana dis- . trist Thursday resulted in a victory ■ for Taft. ’ ___________ Several Adams county men attended the Twelfth district Taft meeting’ at Fort Wayne Thursday night. Mr J' Frieinger. in a short talk, expressed [[ the belief that the delegates from this County would support Taft. While his opinion differs somewhat from that expressed by others, John usually knows what he is talking about, when discncplng politics. ■ ■ I The Hon. J. A. M. Adair has been I selected as the temporary speaker of i the house, during the discussion of the j sugar tariff bill. The honor is a[ worthy one and the Eighth district congressman w’’l conduct himself in a most creditable manner. The speaker has as much confidence in ' him as the people of the district and . that’s saying something. If Roosevelt defeats Tait lor the Presidential nominr/.lon there are several dozen republican editors in indiana who will have a mighty big job when they attempt to explain away the things they now printing in their papers. And, or. the other hand, if Taft put Roosevelt on the political cooling hoard, there are several dnron republican editors who will be In equally tough luck.
