BOEHNE PLEASED OVER THE OUTLOOK

SPENDS FEW DAYS IN INDIANA CONFERRING WITH FRIENDS AND SIZING UP SITUATION. HAS GONE BACK TO DUTIES Full of Optimistic Hope for the Success of His Campaign for the Guberatorlal Nomination—He is Trusting the People. • *sr INDIANAPOLIS, February 22. —Congressman John W. Boehne, of Evans ville, who is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor, spent the latter part of last week and the first of this week in Indiana. He came here from Washington to confer with his political managers and advisers as to the gubernatorial situation and returned to his official duties at the National Capital well pleased mistic hope I with what he learned and full of optimistic hope for the success of his campaign. Mr. Boehne and friends, while here in an extended, conference, canvassed the entire state by counties and districts and he felt, very much encouraged by the splendid reports coming to his headquarters from &U sections. The hundreds and thousands of indorsements from the rank and file of the party throughout the state makes him feel as though the Democrats of Indiana are with him, heart and soul, in this great fight for a principle, viz., to stamp out Boss Rule and Bossism in his party, because he believes it to be a menace to. Democratic principles and that such practice will serve to stifle the development of young men who can in the future espouse the party’s cause.

When Mr. Boehne was here he was in touch with the real conditions in Democratic circles in Indiana and he was more than amused at the tactics used by his opponents in making claims on every one and everything. Speaking of the matter he said: Opposition Claims. “The policy of the apposition seems to be to claim nearly everything. If j they are onto their job they must know that the true situation is quite different from what the> pretend it to be. There is a purpose in of this, viz., to create Band Wagon sentiment in districts where delegates are yet to be chosen. They remind me of the fellow who whistled to keep up courage. “From what I believe to be reliable information, causes me to conclude tjiat the delegates so far chosen constitute about an even break, notwithstanding the fact that nearly all of my opponent’s district has chosen delegates, whereas only two counties in my district have chosen delegates. Trusts the People. “I am going back to my congressional duties at Washington and trust my cause to the rank and file of the Democratic party in Indiana, knowing that they will do the right thing. I have always trusted the people in the past and they have been very kind to me.” Fight Against Bosses. The fight that Mr. Boehne is making against the bosses of his own party—his opposition to Crawford ; Fairbanks and Tom Taggart—is no new thing. He has always stood just where he stands now. He is not fighting Tom Taggart, the affable and pleasant landlord of French Lick. Personally he is fond of Tom Taggart, as is every one who knows the man. But his opposition is directed to the things that Crawford Fairbanks and Tom Taggart stand for in politics. Mr. Boehne does not believe in machine methods nor in corrupt practices in politics. He believes that the. 1 people themselves should conduct* their own affairs and that the bosses j should not conduct them. That is all there is in the fight that Mr. Boehm? is making against Crawford Fairbanks and Tom Taggart. It is not a fight against the personality of Tom Taggart. It is a fight for clean politics, and for the Democratic slogan that “The People Shall Rule.”

Grit to Be Admired.

[Angola Herald.] The Herald admires the grit of Congressman John W. Boehne in his campaign for the Democratic nomination for Governor. Mr. Boehne is absolutely fearless, makes his position plain on every subject, and it is evident that he is not wearing the collar or muzzle of anyone. Regardless of his other good qualities, which are well known, he would certainly, as Governor, be dominated by no man, no “Interest,” no machine, »,

Votes for Boehne.

[Brayfleld’s Citizen, Charlestown.] The Clark county delegation should cast its 20 votes for Boehne for Governor if it is in fayor of anti-machine rule. Many of the delegates will vote for Boehne without they are hog-tied and delivered to Taggart. But if Taggart gets this vote for Ralston, just bear in mind 1904.

SAYS MR. BOEHNE WOULD STRENGTH! THE TICKET

Democratic Chairman *of Gibson Courtty Gives His Reasons for Favoring Evansville Man’s Nomination. S. L. Vandeveer, Democratic county cflairman of Gibson county, commenting on the fact that his county elected a solid delegation of eighteen members to vote for John W. Boehne for the nomination for Governor at the Democratic state convention, said: “We know Mr. Boehne 1 ' down our way, and we know that he is the right man for Governor. He would add strength to the ticket all over the state. Our county had always been normally Republican by about 300. Two years ago Mr. Boehne, as a candidate for congress, overcame this majority and carried the county by 387. He had a larger majority in Gihson county than any of the Democratic county candidates except one. So, while we believe that Mr. Boehne is the ideal candidate for Governor, we feel also that he adds great strength to the county ticket, and those who expect to get on the* county ticket in our county this year are anxious to have him nominated for Governor to get the benefit of hfs drawing power. Same All Over- State. “What is true in Gibson county would be true all over the state. Mr. Boehne would be a tower of strength to the county ticket in every county in the state, and if the prospective candidates on county tickets know what is for their own good they will help to nominate Mr. Boehne for Governor."

MR. BOEHNE IS MAKING A COURAGEOUS FIGHT

J. R. Ferguson, of Evansville, Writes Letter to Gubernatorial Candidate From His Home City. J. R. Ferguson, who served three terms' (nine years) as city clerk of Evansville and two terms (two years) as president of the Evansville Business Association, is anxious to see his fellow citizen, John W, Boehne, nominated for Governor of Indiana by the coming Democratic state convention. Mr. Ferguson, writing under recent date to Mr. Boehne, says: “I want to join with other friends in congratulating you in the courageous fight you are making against Ring Rule and Bossism in behalf of the rank and file of the Democratic party of this Sitaie. No one realized more fully than yourself that, in undertaking this, that your political prospects were jeopardized, but it is this very fact that you were willing tp make a personal sacrifice that ought to commend you to all good people of tho state regardless of party. “I believe when once the rank and file of the party fully understand the issue which has been squarely made, and the great principles for which you are fighting, that they will rally to your support and give you the nomination for Governor, and, if they do, I do not believe there is a doubt about your being elected, which I sincerely hope for,” >

The People Will Elect Him.

[Petersburg Democrat.] Last summer, when Hon. John W. Boehne, of Evansville, the present able and influential representative in Confess, gave out the positive statement: “Under no circumstances I again accept the nomination for Congress,” it was accepted with regret by the Democrats, and a thrill of pleasure by the Republicans, for both knew that he was honest in all things and meant just what he said. The Democrats felt sure that as a candidate for Congress he could not be beaten, while it gave to the Republicans the hope that at the election next fall they would be able to swiiig back into the Republican fold the First congressional district of Indiana. As a candidate for Governor he should be nominated by his party; the people will elect him - they know him. They know he would rigidly practice every doc Wine he preaches, for they know of his honesty, ability, capacity and courage. His strength with the people is not superficial. His intense and pronounced hatred of graft, his spotless private character and his wonderful success in moral, business and political circles make him the ideal candidate. The people believe in him, knowing thdt as Governor he would, as far as laid within his power, fulfill every pledge his party platform ni? to the people, regardless of the co quences to himself or party.
