CONGRESSMAN WOOD LANDS ON HANLEY

Asserts Former Partner Would Be Poor Man For Progressives— Wants to Keep in Limelight. «*• South Bend, Ind., Jam. s.—The South Bend Tribune tonight publishes a statement from Representative Will R. Wood, for ten years law partner of former Governor J. Frank Hanly, who has expressed his willingness to accept the progressive gubernatorial nomination. Wood severely arraigns his former partner and declares that Hanly’s candidacy will not meet with the approval of either the progressives or prohibitionists. The candidacy, he declares, is inspired by Hanly’s failure to induce the prohibitionists to get behind him when he proposed an independent party movement in the state, and his overwhelming desire to be in the limelight. Wqod further says: /Mr. Hanly’s candidacy certainly will not meet with the approval either of progressives or prohibitionists. If he insists on progressives taking out of their platform the initiative, referendum and recall and inserting state and national prohibition there will be nothing left of political principles except those that were advocated by prohibitionists long befqje progressives were dreamed of. “His dictating to the progressives what their platform must contain is in keeping with his attitude while Governor of Indiana. Furthermore, his candidacy would be distasteful to the leaders of the progressives from a personal standpoint. He hates Roosevelt and he hates BSveridge.” Mrs. John Makeever is quite sick at her apartments at the Makeever hotel. She is ninety years of age. The Loeb & Hene store in Lafayette, which is one of the best known merchandise establishments in this part of the state, is to have a change in the firm, the Hene heirs selling their interest to S. Loeb. The store was started almost fifty years ago, the proprietors being struggling young Jews, whose' and devotion to business has won them a great success. * The home of Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Ham was the scene of a very pleasant affair last evening when about twenty friends gathered there and had a winter picnic. The splendid supper was followed iby a lively euchre contest, with W. C. Babcock and Mrs. S. C. Irwin having the highest scores at the end of the game. The Ham home was attractively decorated to represent a winter scene and a picnic supper under the conditions was most enjoyable.
