The friends of Senator Fairbanks now have no hesitancy in placing him in the list of vice-presidential candidates. The organization of the democratic state commitee will be undertaken at an early day, so says Chairman O'Brien. And in this c mnection we think it timely to say that the gentleman from Lawrenceburg should be retained at the head of the state organization. The republicans in Ohio are getting scared. Hanna has lost his head and is swearing and storming at Tom Johnson like a maniac. He answers logic and reason with curses and epithets. Verily. “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." The republicans are going to import about 1,800 spellbinders into the state 11 demolish Tom Johnson and John H. Clarke. The question of how the farmers of the western states stand on the tariff and trust issues has been,

VICE PRESIDENTIAL BOOM IN INDIANA

Indianapolis. Oct. 20.—A number of politicians who were gossiping at the Grand hotel today commented on rhe number of vice presidential booms that have centered in this state du ing the last year. The boom of Senator Fairbanks for the Republican nomination seems to be very much alive outside of the state. Here at home his friends are equally divided as to whether or not he ought to accept the nomination. Only a few months ago Senator Beveridge was among those prominently menticned as a vice presidential candidate, until he announced flatly that he would not have the place. Then a large-sized boom was launched for Governor Durbin, and it still has some force. Among the Democrats Timothy E. Howard of South Bend, former supreme judge, has been suggested recently as a vice presidential candidate. His fellow-townsman, B. F. Shively, is also mentioned as vice presidential timber. So far, however. there are no candidate In Indiana for such high honors. Fassett Cotton, state Superintendent of public instruction, has issued a bulletin that will certainly cause a lot of comment, and It would not be surprising If hundreds of school teachers should say things a'tcut him under their breath. He has been making a tour of the state, and he finds that in

I strongly indicated through the en- | 1 ' terprise of the “Farm and Home,” published in Chicago. That newspaper sent out 50,000 postal cards requesting answers to seven questions among wkjeh was, “Should tariff be' reviseifr* The vote on that proposition was yes, 27,193; no 10,738. When it is considered that the majority in most of the states l from which this vote was gathered is largely republican, it marks the revolt in the ranks of that party against excessive protection. But ; another vote was taken on a kindred ! subject that shows how the exor-! ' | tions of the trusts are regarded j -, by the farmers. The question askLcd was, “Should trusts be regulatHedor suppressed?” The answer was Regulated, 22,854 ; Suppressed, 14,449. This straw vote shows the drift for tarriff reform and regulation of the trusts. The standpatters have a job in front of them next i year. 1 Amusements. Mi«s Effie Bond, who plays “Moulton s Angie,” and Miss Etta Dean who plays “Kathareen Ramsey,” in the highly successful play “An Indiana Romance,” which shortly comes to the opera house, are two of the most beautiful women on the stage. In spite of her personal charms Miss Bond makes a delightfull character study of “Moulton’s Angie," while Miss Dean is very charming as "Kathareen Ramsey." C. D. Murray purchased a new horse yesterdav at Ft. Wayne which he will use on his new bus which will arrive the later part of this i week.

many communities the teachers are not residents—that in, they merely appear on time for the opening in the morning, and in the shades of evening they betake themselves elsewhere. He does not propose to stand for that sort of thing, so hereafter a teacher must reside in the community where he or she teaches. Cotton makes the point mat a community is entitled to the social influence and interest of the teacher —that a patron and pupil has some right to a teacher's time outside the schoolroom, and that under present conditions too many of the teachers know tbo little of the home life of their pupils to teach them successfully. If his bulletin does not cause an endless discussion it will indeed be unusual. Mayor Holtzman and his board of public safety had a heart-to-heart talk last night with the police force. Capt. Chris Kruger, who was appointed superintendent. also had a talk with the men. The latter nave been somewhat worried because of the change in administration. but they were given assurance of good treatment by the new mayor and h't subordinates. Mayor Holtzman has named good men to assist him in managing the affairs of the . city It is an indirect compliment to former Mayor Taggart that a number ' of men who served under him are being asked to accept positions.

SOME POLITICS. J. Fred France Not a Candidate. His Place Likely to be Filled by Mr. Cox of Hartford City. While the democrats of the eleventh district would be glad to see J. Fred France of Huntington, at their head for the coming district contest. it has been the impression over the district that he is not a candidate for the honor. In looking over the democratic timber that is available for the leadership of

the district forces, no one seems so well tittt-d for that position as Editor E. E. Cox of Hartford City. Mr. Cox is one of the district’s progressive and representative citizens, and commands the confidence of a large political acquaintance. He is clean, energetic and alive to the situation I hat confronts the democracy of the eleventh district, and no doubt could do more for his party than any other man that has been mentioned up to the present time. If Mr. France waht.the place for the second ti -e there is little question but that he could

get it, but without France in the race. Editor Cox, is the eligible man for the democratic honor, providing he wants it.—Marion, NewsTribune, C. C. Cloud lost a day book this morning containing all his accounts. Finder return to Cloud or this office. 2412 d
