Need a Candidate Who Can Get All the Votes.

The Republican party this year needs a candidate who can get all the votes of republicans and former progressives. It is no time to speculate on the hope that progressives will flock back penitent and with bowed heads. That they are coming back there can be no doubt, ‘but they are coming as they should come, with heads erect and fully determined to demand full rights in organization, the making -of paltforms and the naming of candidates. In Warren T. McCray is a candidate that not only republicans of all time can support but whom the progressives can and will also support and in whom are combined the qualities of ideal citizenship as well as availability as a candidate. If republicans desired solely to win they could not in all of Indiana find a candidate that filled the ideals of model candidate more completely than Mr. McCray. We do want success at the polls and at the same time we want our candidate to have capacity, clean life, keen foersight, business integrity, unlimited industry and in Mr. McCray we have a man of proven success as farmer, businessman, banker and at the head of the state agricultural association. ' Confidence in him as a candidate is even excelled in our confidence that he will fill the office of governor of Indiana in a manner to assure to all citizens the best administration possible of the affairs of state. His nomination means that the republicans wil lhave a candidate who will poll 25,000 more votes than any other candidate- possible to name. We want those votes and we will get them if we place at the head of our state ticket the name of WARREN T. McCRAY.
