OBITUARIES $1.00 CARDS OF THANKS 25

The latest suggestion in Republican presidential politics in Indiana is Hon. Charles W. Fairbanks for President, instead of Taft.

Col. William Jennings Bryan was the leader in the straw vote for Democratic president. John W. Kern was a good strong second, and Woodrow Wilson was third. Wilson started first, Bryan third. Kern began second and Marshall third, and held their respective places.

The Indiana political program for Republicans that looks like it would go through is: For National Committeeman, James P. Goodrich for State Chairman, Captain Harry S. New for Governor, Charles W. Fairbanks for Congress in Sixth district, James E. Watson. It reminds one of '96.

The proposition to hold the Republican State Convention in Indiana after the National convention is meeting with almost unanimous approval from the Republican editors of the state. They think there will be considerable advantage derived from it, and that it will afford sufficient time also for a thorough campaign.

The Republicans can beat Congressman Gray this year if they will unite harmoniously on a good man. Gray will probably be renominated, but he is not a strongman, and he will have no enthusiastic supporters. It is more a matter of tolerating him rather than supporting him. Lon Mull, of Rush county, or Walter Chambers of the New Castle Democrat would either make a much stronger candidate. However, the Republicans prefer Mr. Gray.

John Mitchell, of the Hancock Democrat, does not think much of Congressman Gray, and the record he has made, and he states plainly why he thinks Mr. Gray should not be re-nominated. Mr. Mitchell is a Jefferson Jackson Tilden Hen-dricks-Grover Cleveland Democrat. He stands 'for sound money," "tar-iff-for-revenue-only," ''no sumptuary legislation" and "to the victors belong the spoils."' He says that these have been the tenets and platforms of his party as far back as he can remember, and lie thinks they are good even in these progressive days.

If Congressman Gray of this district has not been more successful in pleasing his party throughout the district than he has in Hancock county, his efforts have not been very successful. Two important influences within his party in Hancock county are anything but friendly lo Mr. Gray's nomination. One of fliem is the Hancock Democrat, the only Democratic paper in Hancock county, and the other is the influence of Hon. U. S. Jackson, sergeant-at-arms of the National House of Representatives. Mr. Jackson is quoted as saying that he is not from Congressman Gray's district, but that. Congressman Gray is from his (Mr. Jackson's) district.

State Senator.

Much interest has been manifested among Republicans of Hancock county over the State Senator candidacy in the district composed of the counties of Hancock, Rush and Fayette counties. Chauncey W. Duncan, of this city, is a candidate. The names of James F. Reed, Walter G. Bridges and Frank Cook have been also mentioned for the place. Mr. Duncan and Mr. Reed are lawyers Walter G. Bridges was formerly postmaster, and Mr. Cook is a farmer.

The district is reliably Republican and it seems surprising to many that there is not a scramble for the place.

There is much talk about the high cost of living, and it is true that most of the necessities of life are much higher than they were a few years ago. It is not but of place to suggest that newspapers are among the very few things that have not advanced in price. Thejr are the same price they were when hogs sold for 3 cents per pound, corn at 15 cents per bushel, eggs at 8 1-3 cents a dozen and butter at i2Vz cents per pound. Though labor and material is 50 per cent, higher, newspapers are selling at the same old "hard-pan" price, and still many subscribers want their small one dollar or two dollar subscription accounts to run year after year and get half mad and stop the paper if they get a statement of delinquency.

Lincoln League.

Indianapolis, Ind., January 23.— It is announced that the convention of the Indiana Lincoln League at New Castle, City of Roses, February 12th, may have as a notable guest and orator for the occasion a member of the Taft cabinet. The banquet arranged for the night of February 12th at New Castle is to be served at not more than fifty cents a plate.. This rate is made possible by the whole-hearted hospitality of New Castle Republicans and New Castle women, who are working with the Henry county hosts to make the banquet a success. Besides the banquet, where it is expected more than 1,000 will be fed, the Lincoln League business sessions, and the Republican love feast in connection therewith will be largely attended. It is now believed that all records will be broken by the crowd that takes possession of New Castle February 12th. The orators will deal with Republican achievements and with the life and works of Lincoln.

The convention this week of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association in Indianapolis, Thursday and Friday, with the big state-wide banquet Thursday night, has attracted attention in all directions. Demands for reservations for the banquet are coming rapidly from all sides. The workers of the party are to have places at the table of the editors this year.
