Quartet of World’s Speed Kings In Battle Today.

(Promptly at 3 o’clock this afternoon Fred J. Wagner gave Barney Oldfield, Dario Resta, Earl Cooper and Bob Burman, the starters in the hundred mile challenge race for the title of champion of America at this jiistance, the flag. The race should be finished a few minutes before 4 o’clock, as the drivers expect to make 105 miles to lead the rest of the field across the wire. Dario Resta rules favorite among the bettors, with Earl Cooper second choice. Burman is given third place among the bookies and Barney Oldfield is regarded as the most improbable winner among the quartet. - This race, while it is not expected to draw the crowds that the annual 500 mile derbys do, will nevertheless draw thousands of fang to the Maywood Speedway today. Resta made the fastest ten miles of his career Friday when he traveled at the speed of 105 miles for the five laps. The speed fans of America are wondering if the cream of the American race drivers will be able to lower the dazzling record of the famous little Italian private and bring back some of the lost laurels to America. If Resta is successful in crossing the tape first in this race it is probable that a match between he and DePalma will be arranged to settle the supremacy of the world’s speed kings.

■One of the notable features of the golden jubilee of the Rev. Father Bonaventure Hammer, O. F.

M’CRAY WILL GO BACK TO VOTERS

Kentland Man Intends to Carry Fight For G. O. P. Governorship . Nomination to People.

Warren T. McCray, the Kentland banker who is seeking the nomination on the republican ticket for the governorship of the state of Indiana, is preparing to wage a strenuous campaign for the nomination and he will carry the fight to the people and not the politicians. Mr. McCray has received scores of letters of indorsement from the progressives as well as the republicans and he believes that with a clean business policy as his platform he will obtain the support of members of all parties. “I have been too much engaged with my business affairs to have an opportunity to form the acquaintance of the politicians of Indiana,” he says,“ and I am therefore appealing directly to my friends and the voters of Indiana to look after my interests.

“In the event of my nomination and election, I can promise that it will ibe my earnest endeavor to give the people of Indiana a clean, economical business administration and will undertake at all times to be fair to all business interests, whether large or small. I have always been a republican, but I am making the appeal to all who desire an administration of that kind regardless of former associations or preferences.” In these simple statements lie the plans for Mr. McCray’s campaign. He will not depend upon the politicians, but will go direct to the people of all parties who desire to break away from the old school of politics and elect a governor who will serve them and their interests. That a campaign along this line will be successful is not to be doubted by his friends and in the face of countless letters of indorsement and of promises of support that are pouring in on him every day. That Mr. McCray can bring progressives and republicans together at the next annual electron is the confident prediction of his friends. The fact that he took no active part in the trouble which led to the division in the republican ranks will be an asset in his campaign and it will be. difficult for any other candidate to counterbalance. But perhaps his most enthusiastic and loyal supporters will be found in his home county, where he has spent his entire life and is known by every man, woman and child. His announcement when invited by scores of admirers in a recent demontsration in Kentland was the occasion of signal joy.

The people of Newton county revere Mr. McCray as a man of ability and integrity. He has always taken a prominent part in the upbuilding of his home town and vicinity. He is a community No worthy enterprise ever asked him in vain for financial assistance. He gives freely to build up the community. As a successful farmer and stock breeder he will ask the aid of the farmers and stockmen of the state. That he is recognized as a successful farmer and stockman can not be denied. Wherever Hereford cattle are known his name is also known. Through his success as a breeder, he has brought attention not only to Indiana, but to the entire cattle industry of the United States. His campaign for the governorship will not be confined to the persons who already know him. It is his intention to meet and become acquainted with as many voters in the state of Indiana as possible, and to this end he is accepting invitations daily to address old settlers’ meetings and farmers’ picnics throughout Indiana. Numerous county and district fairs of the state are inviting him to exhibit his herd of Orchard Lake Herefords and this will undoubtedly prove a most interesting and unique feature of the McCray campaign. In short, he expects to cover the state thoroughly and make the campaign among the voters themselves.
