Five Thousand Hoosiers Pledge Support to Fairbanks.

Addon toward the placing of the name of Charles Warren Fairbanks before the country as a candidate for the republican nomination for president probably will be taken at the party love feast, according to many of the early arrivals in Indianapolis. It was estimated that more than 5,000 already had signed a petition to place the former vice-president’s name on tht ballot in the Indiana primary next March, Edwin P. Morrow, the republican candidate for governor in Kentucky last November, and Congressman W. E. Humphrey, of Washington, will be the principal speakers. All candidates for the republican nomination for U, S. senator, as well as all other state officers, have opened headquarters and the gathering has taken on the air of a state convention.
