About $95,000 of the Issue would be used to pay indebtedness of the department, the petition says. RIGHT HERE IN INDIANA Shoot to kill.

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.

LOWDEN DRIVE FOR INDIANA’S FAVOR LIKELY National Manager Here Tomorrow and May Start Ball Rolling. BYNUM FOR ILLINOISAN An executive board of Indiana republicans probably will be appointed by Lewis F. Emerson of Springfield, 111., national manager of the Lowden-for-presidntsNampaign, who will arrive In Indianapolis tomorrow. The board will co-operate with the Lowden manager* tn conducting the campaign In the state. Former Representatives W. D. Bynum of Indianapolis has made a statement fn which he pledges his support to Gov. Eowden and Id which he tells of the qualifications of the Illinois chief executive. “I am partial to the candidacy of Eowden.” Mr. Bynum said, "not only because I believe he possesses exceptional qualifications for the discharge of the duties of thechief executive. In the exigencies of the times and our serious plight, but because the traits of character exhibited in bis early life and struggles parallel In a marked degree those of the greatest of republicans— Abraham Elncoln, whom the state of Illinois gave us sixty years ago to preserve and expand the beneficial principles of our free Institutions over the whole human race and vibrate for all time the tenderest chords of the human soul. With Gov. Lowden at thp head of the ticket. I believe not only every northern and western state but Kentucky and Missouri will roll up a republican majority In the election.” RIVALRY EXTENDS TO GOV. LOWDEN. The rivalry between Gen. Wood and Senator Johnson, each of whom Is claiming that he is the successor of Theodore Roosevelt, has now extended to Gov. Lowden. The Lowden magnates are quoting a letter written to the governor by Theodore Roosevelt Nov. 16, 1910, as follows: “Dear Governor: Let me heartily con gratuiate you. I earnestly hope you will now assume a position of leadership. What I most desire is that you shall help bring the republicans far enough forward to enable us to hold the gressives far enough back to keep a substantial alignment.” SIMILAR LETTER SENT TO JOHNSON. A letter similar in nature was recently quoted by the Johnson managers. The Wood campaign organization Is practically completed in Indiana, according to Harry G. Hogan, the Wood manager for the state. Campaign speeches by way of the phonograph is the latest iuovation from the Wood camp. “This country must never be allowed to fall into such a condition of helplessness that it can not Immediately become a force for right,” Gen. Wood says in his phonograph speech. “We want peace and believe In arbitration. We shall have more peace and mere successful arbitration if we are not only Just and righteous, but also strong.” CITY IS AFTER FARMERS’ HOME National Federation Headquarters to Be Selected.

Green, director of the Industry bureau of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, who will propose Indianapolis. “Being at the center of population and thus most accessible to the greatest number, Indianapolis Is the logical locution for national headquarters," said Mr Green. “More cities of 30,000 can send representation to Indianapolis overnight than from anywhere else, and more than 60.000,000 people live within a ntght’s ride. “Indianapolis is specially w< >1 located because it is in the center of the belt of heavy wheat production and In the middle of the great corn belt of America, and with its central location* and unusual railway facilities is destined lo become ahe great agricultural implement manufacturing center."
