A FAMILY QUARREL Republicans Badly Disrupted Over In dianapolis Campaign. Indisnapolie, Sept. 22. —The statement made to the public by Chairman Goodrich of the Republican state com mittee that all Republicans here should bury their personal feeling and support the city ticket for the good effect It will have in the state and national election has aroused the ire of several thousand Republicans whe are not regarding this as a party line campaign and who are saying freely that Goodrich is dabbling in something that does not concern him. Charles Martindale, a leader of the anti-Bookwalter faction, has written Goodrich a tart letter, in which he says: "Nothing is so dangerous as righteous wrath. There are from sev en to ten thousand Republican voters in Indianapolis whose moral sense has been outraged by the ’gang.’ They are determined to clean house. If you and Senator Fairbanks and Senatot Beveridge and Congressman Overstreet place yourselves between ths •gang’ and this moral sentiment you will be doing your party and your selves a great injury instead of a set vice.” Goodrich, it is understood, made the statement at the request ot the Republican leaders here who are trying in every way to whip the dissatisfied Republicans into line. People who have been complaining about the dullness of the present cit> campaign will have no cause for com plaint after tonight, as all parties arc going to get right into the thick of the fight. Even the Socialists are to get busy. The fact is. they have been busy for a long time among the work ers in the factories, and it wouldn’t be surprising if they should poll a con siderable vote. The Hitz independent campaign is to be made more prom inent than ever, as he is speaking day aud night A now independent candf date for mayor. Dr. James Carter, hat been added to the list. He is a Demo crat who has had a desire In othet campaigns to be an independent can didate for unme office. Mayor Book waiter is going to open his regutei speaking campaign tomorrow night He will probably make three speeches a night, as he is a tireless worker Former Attorney General Taylor and Congressman Overstreet are bookec for two speeches Wednesday night and on that night Holtzman, the Dem ocratic candidate for mayor, will de liver his keynote. He is dated for nearly every nlgnt until the close ot the campaign. A lot of politicians are trying tc have fun with Dan Storms, secretary of state, by telling him If Frank Hanly is nominated for governor that he will be defeated for renom I nation. Ths friends of some of the candidates sot governor have been threatening tc bring out someone against Storms it his fellow-townsman. Hanly. is nominated. and Storms Is Jurt the least bit worried In spite of his attempts to take the matter good-naturedly. He was nominated by acclamation last year, but his friends persistently tried to frighten him with stories that such and such a prominent Republican was about to enter the race. The same tactics are being tried again, but It Is not likely that Storms will be stampeded. He is making a good official and it Is not al all likely that his party will want another man on the ticket In his place.
