Hernly’s . h name will ga on the, ticket by petition , which has been started .in circulation. .: It is asserted and practically admitted that Hernia’s cdhdidacy is Aft' '<■ effort on his part to' feecure the de* ; M feat of George W.-WHHatns, the reg- . ular republican and nounced Beveridge supporter. Williams was one of th® original supporters of Mr. Beveridge When he inade ‘ his first race for the senatorial honor.- ■ ’■ No denials have'yet been made of •the story that Heraly> determination to enter as a candidate for the legislature was born when f tl(e recent booster meeting wais-field in this city. At that time a number of the standpat I politicians, Including’ ’ Yoe Kealing dfi r 5 ’ Indianapolis, W. T.Dtlrbfn of An- , ; derson, James E. Watson of RushVille, Newt Harding qt Indianapolis and others of the anti-fieveridge element, met here and held a conference with Hernly. ' The situation here fir serious from a political standpoint and is made more critical by the entrance, of Hernly into J the legislative race. The democratic nominee, Harry Burris,, a local manufacturer, is regarded as a strong candidate. The anti-Beveridge element .. | believes that Hernly can take enough republican) votes from Williams to secure the election of Burris, who will naturally vote for the democratic nominee, thus losing one sure vote for Beveridge. y Hernly is a familiar figure in Indiana politics. He was chairman of the republican state central committee during two campaigns. Recently he has been devoting his time to locating factories in various towns in the state as a professional factory promoter.
