" ■■ The first campaign document to be issued by Mr. Taft's half of the Republican party will try to prove that he was not nominated by “fraud and theft,” as charged by Col. Roosevelt. It will be interesting to see what the Roosevelt people have to say about that doc ament. As the cards lie on the table right now,” says Horace Stilwell, one of the Indiana Roosevelt leaders, "Wilson will be elected president.” And the cards will continue to He in the same position. Wilson and Marshall in this campaign stand for political sanity and national progress. The republican editors of Indiana who rnet at Indianapolis yesterday to decide whether they would support Taft or Roosevelt, adjourned without coming to any definite agreement, though the most of them favored Taft. They decided to wait until the state conventions have been held that hey may ascertain the feelings of the folks al home. They will probably be just as much "in the air” >n a month from now as they are at this time. The Indianapolis News says the

Bull Moose party is on the ragged edge and will soon fall for want of supporters and cash. The Star says ! it is a glorious party that will sweep the nation. The Fort Wayne News says they have a hidden fount of gold from whence comes a continual stream of funds that is handled by State Chairman Lee, while New York dispatches claim that the new party is "busted” higher thau a kite. Just where can we turn for news that is news. Hut then what's the difference, so long as it don’t affect the chances of Wilson and Marshall and it certainly doesn't, only to improve them. The Taft Republicans when they hold their state convention August 6, are not going to take any chances on allowing any Roosevelt man to get a place on the electoral ticket. Every candidate for elector must be a regular. John-Jacob-Townsend-name-blown-ln the-bottle Taft man. Says the Indiana Correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer: "What is going to happen is that the state convention will name an entire set of electors for the congressional districts —and those who ha.e been represented as being opposed to the president will get a chance to talkright out in meeting as to what they are going to do. If they won't agree to support the ticket if the state should happen to go Republican—which is about one chance in a million —they won't find their names on the official ballot. But a little thing like that should not worry the Roosevelt supporters. They are going to have a state convention of their own a week previous to the "regular” gathering and can select their own candidates for electors. John Stewart returned to Decatur from Dayton, Ohio, this morning, having gone to that place on Monday with his wife and son for a week’s vacation, the trip having been made in their automobile. Mr. Stewart’s stay was cut short because of the fact that he was unable to secure a competent linotypeopedator to fill his place at this office. He will return to Dayton Saturday night and Sunday will drive the automobile home, accompanied by Mrs. Stewart, and son, who remained to complete their stay.
