The Daily Democrat yesterday •was the only newspaper in this end of the district that gave the election figures anything near correct It is just as we exjiected though. L. E. Roush is slated for the Bluffton postoftice by some of the wise ones. He may do for Bluffton —they are a little slow you know—but Decatur int n Is that a democrat shall succeed the present postmaster. Randolph county indorsed Theodore Shockney by giving a majority of 558 for M. M. Dunlap for congress. One of the most insgnificant features of this was the fact that W inchester precincts in which live State Chairman Goodrich, Judge Marsh and Jvdge Macy and in which these gentlemen led the fight personally for Cromer the majority is heaviest for Dunlap. Union Banner Hunt is not believed

NFWS FROM THE STATE CAPITAL

Indianapolis, March 3.—Congress- , xnan E. D. Crumpacker of the Tenth Is paying a rather mysterious visit to Indianapolis at this time. He has held conferences at the Claypool hotel with some of his lieutenants and it is hinted that he is trying to find out •ome inside information on the poll Heal situation with especial reference , to his chances of succeeding Senator Fairbanks if the latter is elected vicepresident. He said that he did not have any announcements to make and that while he does not think that Sen ator Fairbanks is a candidate for the vice-presidential nomination that he certainly feels that he will be nominated. Crumpacker has recently come to the front as one of the strong advocates of President Roosevelt. He will be renominated in his district without the slightest opposition. The Republican state committee will have an interesting meeting here to- i morrow at which the date for the state convention will be determined is no doubt but that there is some friction among the candidates “ U ’ hen U ,houl<l »>• held Hanly and hi. boomers want It early as they On th!" 7 u° W WBy ln the On the other hand a statement has been credited to Judge Penfield that give him enough time and he would certainly win. It Is also , ald th<i Taylor. Hayre and several others are in favor of waiting until the middle of May at least. There la some prospect that the original dates considered - April 2:i and 21-»wlll not be selected out of deference to the wishes of members of congress who think the session may adjonru by .May 1. So if the convention Is held aft'-r that date there will be no occasion for them to make an extra round trip between here and Wa.ihtLgton.

will now undertake- to run for gover- ■ nor.—Portland Commercial Review. The eleventh district congressional convention will occur Tuesday March 29. This will also pote a i red letter convention, Major Steele having already announced his iu- | tention of contesting with FredLan- ! dis for the coveted nomination. Hen I. P. Watts who for some years has had a hankering to go to congress, has done the next best thing by receiving the nomination in Randolph county for state reppresentative. He can practice on this a while and if Cromer gets tired, we will have Shockney train him for the big show. Now comes the cruel announcement that Edward C. DeHority.cashier and director of the First National Bank of Elwood, has consented to allow his name to be announced as a candidate for the democratic nomination for congress in this district. One of the alluring advantages is I said to be that he is already"dirty” with campaign assessments. The Eighth district primary election for congress resulted in the ' election of Boss Cromer by about 1700 majority. The total vote at the primary in Cromer's county. Delaware, was 7,485, although the republican vote in the county two years ago, was only 7,064. Eighth district republicans are so thoroughly disorganized that a democratic successor to Mr. Cromer is a possibility—if not a probability —Huntington Herald <Rep j

The Reptioncans of the Sixth congressional district held two conventions at Shelbyville today. The one In the morning renominated Representative James E. Watson of Rushville, who was not opposed. He was present and made a rousing speech. It is said that be is growing in popularity in his dictrict and that he has been greatly strengthened with his constituents by reason of his appointment as a member of the committee on ways and means. The convention this afternoon was >or the purpose of electing two delegates to the national convention. It was the understanding that John Wingate, the veteran editor of Shelbyville, and Francis T. Roots of Connersville, would be the men. J. Frank Hanly, W. L.

He is very hopeful of landing the nomination. He comes from a district in which there is an Intensely bitter fight among the Democrats over the congressional nomination.

ERIE TALK May Equip Railroad With Their Own Sleeping Cars. It is stated that the passenger department of the Erie is considering favorably a plan which put in force, will equip the road with its own sleeping and parlor cars. It is claimed that for the last year the Pullman car*, that have been furnished the Erie have not been up to the expectations of the passenger officials, who were aiming to equipthe road with the best rolling stock obtainable. The Pere Marquette operates a chair car service of its own at a rate much jess than charged by he Pullman Company, and the Pennsylvania owns a large proportion of its Pullmans, as does the Union Pacific and the New York, New Haven & Hartford road. Presidon Underwood of the Erie, is said to look with favor on the plan which he expects will improve the service and give the Erie tne same advantage of other roads in operating its own sleeping and passenger car*. All railroad men say that there has been a scarcity of Pullman cars in the last year. Pullman men say they have difficulty in supplying th** kind of cars sought, and many have been rebuilt and put into service in the last few months.
