Al of our representatives in Washington have promised to lend their earnest support towar.i securing an appropriation sufficient to cover the urgeht needs of the harbor

a fight as possible to get control of the state committee of Indiana for next year, but the Taft sentiment is so strong and Taft's friends are so completely in control of things at this time that no one is predicting sucess for the progressives along thart line. It Is Known, and It has cropped out in the

last few days, that there is awld--spread sentiment in Indiana forthe nomination of Roosevelt, but no one gees so' far as to say that the Indiana delegation could be swung over to Roosevelt under any circumstances. Another thing that has ( attracted much attention here and which has caused Indiana Republicans to congatulate themselves, is the fact that Harry S.
