POLITICAL NOTES.

The friends of Governor Harmon of Ohio seem to have begun an active campaign to secure his nomination for the presidency by the Democrats in 1912. In the meantime leading members of the party in all of the states are looking hopefully toward Governor Marshall of Indiana.

. Several prominent Republicans have absolutely refused to take the chairmanship of the Republican state committee. The last resort, therfore, seems to be J. Wood Wilson of Marion, who really wants the place. Whether J. Wood Wilson and J. Frank Hanly will work together in double harness is yet to be determined.

Several deputies in the state ■offices now held by republicans are said to be candidates to succeed their chiefs. Other candidates are to be quietly crowded out of the way—that is, if there shall be others.

Carl Riddick, secretary of the republican state committee, has concluded not to be a candidate for secretary of state. Ex-Con-gressman Overstreet, of Indianapolis, now a central bank boomer, is mentioned for the nominttion, but the only man in the field is Robert 11. Tucker of Indianapolis, a newspaper man. As Mr. Tucker knows something about the political drift, It is not likely he will lose any sleep chasing the job.

Because, as it was charged. Dr. Sharp, appointed by Governor Marshall as a republican member of the board of trustees of the Jeffersonville reformatory, secured the employment of a nephew in the institution, a great outcry was raise ! against Governor Marshall by the republican press. The governor had nothing to do with the employment of Sharp’s nephew and expressed his positive disapproval of nepotism. At the same time attention was called to the fact that nearly all of the present republican state officers were carrying from one to three members of their families on the state’s payroll.

Ex-Senator James A. Heminway, a leading and influential member of the political firm of Fairbanks, Heinenway, Watson, Kealing & Co., is not at all backward about stepping on the toes of Senator Beveridge and his friends, including their state organ, the Indianapolis Star. He not only give a dinner at Washington at which Speaker Cannon was the guest of honor, but he made arrangements for Senator Aldrioh to make a speech in Indianapolis next week. As Beveridge and his faction have tried to make it appear that they are waging bitter war on both Cannon and Aldrich, the

contrary activities of Mr. Hemenway must be very embarrasing.

The legislature of 1907 appropriated $20,000 to enable the attorney general of Indiana, the Hon. Jim Bingham, to prosecute the trusts operating in this state. The trusts, however, continue to io business at all of the old stands and many new ones. The fact that J. Frank Hanly took it upon himself to handle the county option cases in the supreme court (at an expense, it is said, of SSOO to the Anti-Saloon League,) thus relieving the attorney general of a considerable task, did not encourage Mr. Bingham to go after the trusts.

Senator Shively has been elected vice chairman of the Democratic sentorial caucus. This puts him in direct line for the leadership of his party in the senate. Senator Shively is a Democrat who stands at all times firmly for the principles of his party. He believes in a tariff for revenue only and he cannot be swayed from that position. On other great questions he is equally sound. His choice for leadership is evidence that the Democratic minority in the senate proposes to be a militant force.

The Republicans of the state have about decided to take their chances on holding a “love feast.’’ It is ticklish business, considering the many quarrels that are in progress, but the leaders don’t see how they can escape the risks without making things worse. If friends with grudges can be induced to stay away altogether, a semblance of unity may be obtained for campaign use. If these friends won’t stay at home they will be required to leave their knives with the hotel clerk before partaking of the feast. It is going to be a pretty hard thing to handle, but it will be pulled off in some shape.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of DeafneS (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.
