Barnhart Being Talked Of Again for Governor.

south Bend. Ind., March i.- - Although Henry A. Barnhart of Rochester, representative from the Thirteenth district, has made no official announcement that he would Hot be a candidate for renomination the South Bend Tribune says it is generally conceded that he will not he a factor in the next congressional race, preferring to cast his fortunes in the contest for the gubernatorial democratic nomination. As a result fio less than seven men are being groomed as his possible successor. They are William A. Melnerny, Samuel Parker and Prosecutor C. R Montgomery of South Bend; Ralph N. Smith of Laporte; Adam Wise of Plymouth; Anthony Deahl of Goshen and Robert E. Proctor of Elkhart. Melnerny will have the support of the old Fogarty organization. Indications are, the paper says, that the fight will simmer down to a contest between Melnerny and Smith.
