Indiana Republicans Take

Up Question of State Central Committee, and Carl Riddick Is Being Urged to Take Secretaryship.

OM ES BITRBAIT. AT STATES CAPITAL - " .-v. Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 1. While the republicans are holding their district conventions today and electing district chairmen, who will also be mem

ber. of the state committee, a good deal of thought is being-given to the meeting' of the new state committee which will .meet here next Thursday for the election of officers of the state committee. It seems to be a foregone conclusion now that Henry W. Bennett, st this city, will be elected state chair

man. : But. there is no certainty what

ever as to who will be elected secretary of the state committee. For. a long time

there was no candidate In the field fcr

the place and It was -feared that the committee would hve to hunt for a man to take the place. Ma"ny . are talked of but recently there has been sudden .-omlng out of candidates and mentioning of names of possible candidates, until now there is a good field to select from. One of the new names mentioned is that of P. A. Parry, editor of Thb yTimsb Newspapers of Hammond. .Another Is John Hays, private , secretary of Senator Beveridge. Another is Robert G. Tucker, of this city, and still another is Carl Rlddtck. editor of the Wlnamac Republican. Riddick is the present 'secretary of the state commit- - tComlnuea en Page Sveo.j - -

, -In an interview with a . reporter for Thb Timks,; Mr; A. J. Hickey, today, re-elected republican chairman

of the Tenth congressional district,

had 'the following ' roseate view of the political situation in the district. ; ; "I confidently predict that every republican legislative' candidate in the district will be elected next fall. The district is in the best condition that it has ever been in its history, . Congressman E.1 D. Crumpacker carried the district by over 6,000 majority in the last campatgn, and I look for the majority to be even larger this year.-

"I do not know of a coufityin the district where there is not perfect harmony. Even in local affairs there are very few cases where there , Is discord in the party, and they are only .insignificant matters that have no bearing on the situation in the district at large. "During the last election every couty in the district showed a substantial gain over the previous election, and I look for even a larger gain this year. In the state at large there is the best of feeling prevailing and the Tenth district is no exception. "Congressman Crumpacker is stronger with the public than ever. He has now come to be recognized as one of the strongest and most able men in congress. He is progressive and yet conservative, and I should not be surprised that when congress comes to the middlewest to look for a speaker to take Cannon's place that It will find in Mr. Crumpacker a ' candidate acceptable to both 'the insurgents and the conservatives In the east. "I find that the people of the district are determined to do their

share towards returning Senator Albert J. Beveridge, who has so ably

represented this state,' back to the senate.

"I am also .convinced that the district gives the administration of

William Taft "its enthusiastic ap proval. His administration has al

ready seen the ,return of prosperity before it is ended, the country will

be in better condition than ever be

fore."

A. J. HICKEY, REPUBLICAN DIST. CHAIRMAN.

A. J. Hickey of Laporte, who was today elected chairman of the Tenth

district of Indiana, has ben a practicing attorney in wtporte lor tne past thirteen years. He came to Laporte from Buffalo, N. T. Froni the time of

his arrival here he has ben one of the most active republicans in the district. In 1898, two years after "he located in Laporte, he became secretary of the republican central" committee of Laporte county. He held this office during three elections. Mr. Hickey has been chairman of Laporte county for

the last three campaigns. For two campaigns he was city chairman or the

republican central committee in. Laporte. In these various capacities he proved his ability as an. organizer and two years ago was selected as the

chairman of this district. Mr. Hickey is one of the strong republicans of Tenth district and his management of the last campaign resulted in returning Congressman E. D. Crumpacker to cqng-ress &V a large majority in spite of the

fact that other districts in the state failed to elect congressmen. .When Mr. Hickev became chairman of Laporte county the democrats had a safe ma

jority of from eight to nine hundred. This has beep cut down until now the democrats-claim only 150 majority and the republicans claim a similar maioritv. Durinft the last campaign, when the liquor question was the issue

and-Laporte county voted wet by 4.70 0 majority, the republican candidate r k lorriiat,, lAct tn John R Faulknor by only 24 votes, although he

was a. nrnnmmcpil "drv" man in his views.

In. this same campaign, despite the fact that there was a pronounced "wet" feeling in Laporte county and the issue of the campaign was county local option, the republicans were able to lect the recorder, the clerk, the sheriff and' two commissioners. It was also Mr. Hickey who, with County Chairman Richard .Schaaf, who t saved a part of the state ticket from defeat at the last election. - ' '

"I'll : fine you , $25 and costs," said

JudgeBarnetU and jbereafter if any one of your class is brought before me and founi"guilty,fnf a similar charge I will add a Jail sentence. There is too

much "of this going on in Hammond.

Many complaints have been brought to

the police about women being insult-

ed on the streets, and we propose to maiKain a ity here the streets of which

shall be safe at all hours from any at

tacks and insults of hoodlums. i

Comes of Good Family. Krider is said to come of a good

family, his father being a hard working man. The young man, although seemingly strong and able-bodied, did not

have any money with which to pay his

fine and costs, altogether $25. and was

compelled to spnd some time in the city Jali to await the arrival of his father.

whom he expected to pay his fine. i
