is learned that the brewers are expecting substantial aid from that source in their efforts to carry Indiana for the democratic.

DIRECT NOMINATION IN MISSOURI

DISTILLERS ARE TAKINB ALARM

Kentucky Men Said To Be Worried About the Liquor Situation In Indiana.

Indianapolis. Aug. 1. Various estimates are placed upon the amount of money which the brewers are spending in Indiana to bring about the election of the democratic state and legislative tickets. Kvery estimate jet made by any one in a position to form a correct Judgment runs into six figures, and there are some who believe the brewers' fund will easily reach a million dollars. There are about twenty-six brewers in the state which are understood to be'heavy contributors. All of the breweries having agencies in Indiana also are among the subscribers. An Indianapolis man, who declares he has his information direct from a leading brewer, has prepared a tabulated estimate of the fund raised to defeat Congressman Watson and the republican legislative candidates. The total, according to his statement, is $1,025,000. Six Brewer Contribute. He figures that six brewers have contributed $25,000 each, making $150,000; that te nmore brewers have chipped in $10,000 each, making $100,000; that ten of the smaller breweries have put in $5,000 each, making $50,000; that 500 of the larger saloons of the state have added $100,000 more, or $200 each; that 500 saloons of the second grade have been put down on' the contribution list for $150 each, making $75,000; that 3,000 saloons are down for $100 each and 1,000 saloons for $50 each, making $350,000 more. The contribution of the outside breweries which have agencies in Indiana is estimate dat $100,000, and, finally, it is estimated that the French Lick and West Jladen Hotel companies are sufficiently Interested in the defeat of Watson and the electric of a democratic house of representatives to contribute $30,000 each. DUttller AYI11 Aid. There are now signs that the breweries' and saloonkeepers' fund will be added a large contribution from the distillers. Governor Wilson of Kentucky informed Indiana men who saw him at Cincinnati on Taft notification day that some of the Kentucky distillers are much concerned over the prospect of a county local option law In Indiana. From reliable authority It

St. Iouis, Mo.. August 1. The, Mis-I souri primary law, providing for the I direct nomination of candidates for J state, congressional" and county offices! will be tried out for the first time next j Monday. Neither the politicians nor the general public appears entirely j satisfied with the change by which the j delegate conventions are superceded I

by the system of direct primaries. 1 he party managers are opposed to the primary because it takes from them much

of the power and influence they here-

tofore have exercised in the selection of candidates for office. The objection of the taxpayers arises from the fact that

j they will have to bear the expense of

the primary, which is estimated at not less tiian $173,000. Candidates for congress and a complete state ticket will be named at the primary by both the democrats and republicans. The contests for nomination are nearly all on the democratic side and the chief interest naturally centers in the fight for the head of the ticket. The contest for the democratic nomination is a three-cornered one. The aspirants for the seat of Governor Folk are David A. Ball of Fllte county, former congressman William S. Cowherd and Judge William H. Wallace. Mr. Cowherd is one of the best known politicians In the state. lie is a native of Missouri and a graduate of the state university. Since hi.3 admission to the bar in 1S2 he has practiced law in Kansas City and has been honored with the mayoralty and other public offices in that city. For several years he lias represented the fifth district in congress. David A. Ball likewise Is a well known politician. His political opponents have dubbed him the "perennial candidate," because of the frequency with which he has sought or been mentioned for public office. His previous campaigns have given him a compact, loyal following in each county in the state. This is expected to prove of great benefit to him in a primary, where strength will be cumulative. The lieutenants of Cowherd and Ball have been inclined to pay little attention to Judge William H. Wallace, the

third candidate for the democratic s'ti- i

bernatorial nomination. Nevertheless Wallace has been conducting an energetic campaign and his recent meetings have been so well attended that his opponents were forced to take notice. Some of the friends og Judge Wallace declare he will sweep the large dmocratic counties of the state like a whirlwind. His platform takes a high moral stand and his support is expected to come almost wholly from the temperance and church element. For the offices of lieutenant governor, auditor and nearly all of the other places on the state ticket the democrats have two or more candidates in the field". The republicans are now in control of all the state offices with the excep

tion of the governorship. The repub

lican ticket easily can be forecasted. Herbert S. Hadley, the present attorney general, will be named for governor without opposition. Of the balance of the ticket, John Swanger, secretary of state, asks a return from the people to his office. His is the only name which will appear upon the ballot for a second term. Jacob F. Gmelich of oBonville will

be named by the republicans for lieu

tenant governor. The nomination for

state auditor will go to Jesse A. Tolerton of Branson, and Wilbur V. Maring of Jefferson City wil be named for treasurer. The only nominations Trr which there are more than rit.e candidate are those for attorney general

and railroad and warehouse commis

sioner.

j There is a sentiment and belief ! among the republican leaders that, ; in spite of some of the handicaps of j the primary system, the party will go ; before the people in November with j fne of the strongest tickets ever placed I in the field. The republicans have one distinct advantage, which they have ! not enjoyed in former years. For ! years past they have had to conduct the campaign as a minority party. This I year the party has a satisfactory rec- ! ord on which it can go before the peo- : and ask for a continuance in power j and for an expression of confidence ! from the electors.
