SEVERAL GOOD MEN FOR GOVERNOR NOMINATION.

Taylor, Hugh Th. Miller, Col. Durbin, Harris, Lockwood, Shanks, Henry and Olds are Proposed. As the date for the republican state convention approaches interest in the gvernorship contest increases and nine residents of the state are either active or receptive candidates for the office. -r -■ The list includes the names of Col. Durbin, of AnderSon; Addison Harris, of Indianapolis; D. W. Henry, of Terre Haute; Judge Walter N, Olds, of Ft. Wayne;. Hugh Th. Miller, of Cilumbus; James Wade Emison, of Vincennes, Mayor Shank, of Indianapolis, Charles Arthur Carlisle, of South Bend, and William L. Taylor, of Indianapolis. George B. Lockwood has been mentioned, but has made announcement that he is not in the race.

Col. Durbin served one term as governor of Indiana. Mr. Harris was an avowed “regular” in the fight for delegates to the national convention and is a staunch supporter of President Taft Mr. Henry, the possible candidate from Terre Haute, is supported by some of the leading politicians of the fifth district, it is said, and similar support is given to Mr. Olds from his district. Mr. Miller -served as Lieutenant-Governor during- the administration of Governor Hanly, and has almost the united support for the nomination now by the avowed “dry” element in the party. Mr. Carlisle’s candidacy has become more vigorous during the last few weeks than it was before. It is considered uhlikely by the party leaders that Mr. Taylor will make a race for the nomination, although it is believed he would accept it.
