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,” >
