ROOSEVELT APPROVES NEW YORK COALITION

District Attorney Whitman May Bun For Governor on RepubL „ liean-Progressive Ticket. The , Indianapolis Star usually maintains a very careful censorship over its columns' to prevent any item being published that has the possibility of aiding the republican cause. The Stair as clearly as any other paper, however, can see the hand writing bn the wall aind realizes that the progressive movement is at a praetical.end and that men who voted for Roosevelt are flocking back to the old party. The Star, under a New York date line, publishes the following dispatch in its issue of June 2nd, and peculiarly the article appeared on the front page. It Shows the (trend in New York and that Colonel Roosevelt is shrewd enough to know that the defeat of democracy can only be secured through a united party. The dispatch reads: “New York, June I.—District Attorney Charles 8. Whitman, of New York, announced! his candidacy for the republican nomination for governor? “ ‘I expect to be a candidate for the nomination for governor in the republican primaries;” he said. “It was learned also that a movement had been launched with the design of procuring Mr. Whitman’s nomination on both the republican and .progressive tickets. For this purpose it is planned to hold a nonpartisan mass meeting in Syracuse in the last week of July to name a ticket headed 'by Mr. Whitman for presentation at both therepublican and progressive primaries.

“■Some time before he sailed for Spain, on Saturday, Col. Roosevelt whs made acquainted with the plan for a nonpartisan Whitman movement, according to its principal sponsor, Charles H. •“Duell, Jr., a New York lawyer, who was active in the progressive campaign of 1912. Mr. Duell said that Roosevelt had given him positive assurance that he. would support the plan.”

An Old Soldier Beturns "Home."

Indianapolis, Ind., June I.—lt is apparent from the letter? that are being received at republican state headquarters from former progressives announcing publicly their affiliation with the republican party, ' that the civil war veterans are again rallying to the support of the G. O. P. The following letter from Joel B. Garrison, of Hendricks county, is typical: “I want to see the republicans unite under the Eagle. That is the only way we can do effective work. I have been a republican all my life and am a believer In the policies of the republican party. I was a soldier in the civil war and marched with Sherman to the sea. I voted for Roosevelt in 1912, not because Taft was a protectionist, but because I thought he wasn’t.”

Citizens Are Interested In Fire Prevention.

The Indiana state fire marshal is mueh pleased with the interest citizens are taking in the movement for Are prevention throughout the state and is particularly gratified at the promptness with which the property owners follow out the suggestions made by the department for the reduction of fire hazards. t “As soon as citizens learn that the office has issued any instructions for the protection of property many of them immediately ask for and follow these instructions,” says the fire marshal. “Property owners are continually conferring with the department to learn the best methods of storing gasoline, the safest forms of building construction and the value of all kinds of fire protective devices.” Local fire chiefs, according to the fire marhal, are also reporting a wide interest in fire prevention throughout the state. One of the most striking examples of the eagerness with which Indl-

TERMS OF FRANCHISE WERE AGREED UPON

Council and Interurban Promoters In Special Session Prepare Franchise Ordinance.

The city council in special session worked until a late hour Monday night in finally agreeing upon the terms of the franchise ordinance for the Indiana Northwestern Traction Co. The terms of the franchise had been practically agreed upon a week before, but on Monday night City attorney Leopold offered a franchise that embodied a number of additions and changes. The council and the prOmotart* went carefully over the document and •when it was finally completed there had not been many changes of importance. Members of the council had talked with constituents during the week and found that the public favors the granting of a franchise without delay and it was clearly in evidence that they proposed to brook no further delays that were net Justified by important new conditions. ' .

The franchise will be published in The Republican within the next few days and every person in Rensselaer should read it and thus become familiar with the terms. The council has set Monclay evening, June 22nd, as the time for listening to. objections by taxpayers. • The streets Which the railroad company has asked the right to use are College avenue to Vine street and thence north to the city limits, also another route which would cut across from the college to the south side of the city, cross the river near the B. D. MeColly property, and thence over Cullen and Forest streets to the north side of the city, passing through town on the east side of the court house. • Mr. Roberts, president of the road, stated to a representative of The Republican today that he 'had decided to postpone actual work for a short time. Some elections are pending in Benton county and this will require some attention from himself and the others Who are associated with him in the .project.

It will be three weeks before the public hearing is given and it fa not improbable that construction will be postponed until after that time. Mr. Roberts, Mr. Zimmerman and Mr. Wilson believe that there has been some hostility to their proposition that fa not prompted altogether by unselfish motives, and they say that construction would have already been in progress had there been no opposition to .the granting of the franchise. It fa hoped that those who have this matter in charge may have the interest of the city and the desire of the people as their sole guides and that needless obstacles will not be placed in the way of the franchise, and this seems the course of the council.

ana cities are taking advantage of the fire marshal’s suggestions is shown in the number of small cities that have begun the organization of volunteer fire departments. Following the Winona fire, the fire marshal recommended that all towns obtain some kind of fire fighting equipment and offered instructions and methods free for aiding them in the organization of volunteer departments. . More than 4 dozen inquiries were received for this information, which means that at least twelve Indiana towns are intending to better protect themselves from serious fire loss.

County Sunday School News.

Every township in the county is to have a convention on the same day, June 14th, and the same program will be used throughout the county. Every department superintendent in each township is on the program for a paper on the work of their department. If you hold one of these offices and have not been so informed by your township chairman, secure a program and “get busy.” The county superintendent of your department wifi, give you any needed help if you ask them. Newton township, which has had more difficulty than perhaps any other township in the county in maintaining a Sunday School, being the only township in the county that is sometimes without one altogether, has improved conditions by organizing a school at Curtis Creek school house, which bids fair to do as good work as any tn the county. In a township that has ibeen so favored by material prosperity, having prosperous farmers with comfortable homes, there should be every effort made to have the moral tone of the community keep pace with the material growthThey have their arrangements made for a fine time convention day, on June 14th. There will be Sunday School from 10 to 11; a children's day program from 11 to 12; a basket dinner from 12 to 1:30, and the township convention program from 1:30 to 4 p. m. Let every family in the township feel a personal Interest in the success of this convention and make Newton rank among the first of the townships in. attendance on that day. Union township is going about the work of planning their convention in the most approved way. The township chairman, George Hammerton, held a meeting of the sup erintendents and officers of the township Sunday and made arrangements for what will no doubt be the most successful convention that has yet been held in that hustling township. The convention will be held at Fair Oaks this year and as this township has more schools than any other township to the county and a -bigbasket dinner has been arranged for and the work well planned, it will not be surprising if this convention excels all others in attendance. Jordan township, of which Peter Nafziger is chairman, has two well organized schools doing good work and another was organized two weeks ago at the Mt. Hope church. The work of arranging for the convention has been completed. The following is the program: Sunday School 10 to 11; address 11 to 12 by Rev. S. P. Schultz, of Chicago, who is a worker in a rescue mission; a basket dinner will occupy the time from 12 to 1:30 and the convention program will be given in the afternoon. Let’s watch and see the record of attendance in Jordan on that day.
