HANLY DROPS OUT OF RACE FOR GOVERNOR

Progressive Nominee Says He Could Not Support National Platform As Dry Plank is Missing. J. Frank Hanly, former republican governor of Indiana, has decided that he will not accept the progressive nomination for governor, despite the fact that he was nominated without opposition at the progressive primary March 7. Failure of the progressive national convention to insert in its platform a plank favoring national prohibition was the cause of Hanly’s refusal to accept the nomination, and he so informed State Chairman Lee Monday. The progressives z are proceeding with their plans for their state convention June 22, notwithstanding the fact that Hanly will not run and the present indications that Theodore Roosevelt will not head the progressive national ticket next fall. A state ticket will be placed in the field, according to an announcement made by T<ee Monday. ——— —
