DISTRICT CONVENTION AT VALPARAISO TUESDAY

Indications That Will R. Wood, of Lafayette, Will Receive the Nomination. Republicans of the tenth congressional district of Indiana will meet at Valparaiso next Tuesday, April 28th, to nominate a candidate for congress. There are only two avowed candidates, Will O. Thomas, of Monticello, for whom the Jasper county delegates are expected to cast their votes, and State Senator Will R. Wood, of Lafayette, who seems to have the inside track and for whom our own delegates hold a feeling of admiration. The Monon is to run a special train from Lafayette to Valparaiso. It will go over the Michigan City branch and it is probable the delegates who go from Rensselaer wiM catch the special at San Pierre, going from here via Shelby. There is a general belief that the tenth district lhas an excellent chance to elect a republican congressman fhis year and the Valparaiso convention will give the party a candidate that it can tbe proud of and ask men of other parties to support
