Republican Legislators Held a “Get Together" Meeting Tuesday.

Indianapolis, May 17.—“ Get Together Behind Taft!” was the sentiment that prevailed ,during a conference of republican members of the legislature yesterday at the Claypool lloral, called to canvass the political situation in Indiana as affecting the republican party preliminary to a “get together” movement in which the members of the legislature are to endeavor to unite all factions and bring about a new deal in republican politics. A unanimous sentiment was expressed that President Taft should be renominated. It having developed with the reports- that the republicans of the state are not in such bad shape after all on state issues, the opinion prevailed that if the leaders of the party can get together nationally, Indiana republicans can .be reunited and ought to carry the state.

The meeting amounted to little more than a “talkfest,” at which each of the fifty or more men who attended related conditions as he has found them in his respective county since the legislature adjourned. Similar meetings likely will be held in the future although no time for the next one was set yesterday. The members adjourned to meet at the call of Senator Will R. Wood, of Lafayette, republican leader of the senate, and Representative Jesse E. Eschbach, of Warsaw, republican leader of the house.
