These men can eas!prospects for the Republicans, and on j ly get together at any time for a conall sides there is heard the belief that! ference.

out.to do that which he believes s best' man in charge as state chairman of tho for-the party. Th; division among movement. One of the interesting them over the question of whether Taft ' questions that has been asked and o or tloosevelt shall be the nominee for' which no answer has been g:ven thus president is one of the nealthiest signs' far is where the money is coming from of the times, according to some of the to run and to finance the Roosevelt old, seasoned politicians, because the campaign. It takes money, and a lt liners' promise to be drawn so squarely j of H, to pay the running expenses of and so tightly as to bring practically ; any movement of this kind, even under every Republican In the state into onw the national campaign publicity law camp at the other before the t,hlng Is and the Indiana corrupt practices act over. I Somebody is supply the means for this

It is pointed out that the Republicans J purpose, but just w ho Is the question, really want to win at the polls, and, It could not bo expected that Ie" himthat they are making every effort to I self was paying the bills from his own place the party In such a position as o j private pocket. make this a reasonable probability.! The first echo from the Roosevelt Some of them believe that Taft will be campaign came a day or two ago when the strongest man to place at the head a meeting was held of Republicans of of the ticket, and others take the post - j I'ecatur township, Marion county. The tion that they can come nearer to win-j meeting was called by township chairning with Roosevelt's name at the ' man Edwards for the purpose of ascerhead of the ticket. Each side, there j taining the sentiment of the Republifore, is seeking to add strength to the J cans of his; township in regard to the ticket, and this is a healthy sign. Thai issues that, will enter into the ramcampaign in behalf of these two men , paign. The meeting ndopted resoluIn this state Is being carried on In goo J j tions Indorsing Roosevelt for president, hurnor and without any personal feel-; and demanding that the Republicans ing on either side. Each side is using j put a county option plank in their Its best and most effective tactics in J Platform. It Is said that other similar the effort to land Indana's delegation j meetings will be held In other townto the national convention. The Taft ships for this same purpose, people hope to have the state eonven-I This recalls, again, the story in cirtlon bind the delegation to vote for culation a few (lavs ago that the Ant'

their man with Instructions, while thj;saioon league and the (orces which i; Roosevelt people are seeking to pre- controls are lining up with tne Roose-

vent Instructions, thus giving the dele

gates a free hand to vote for whom they please. Their argument is that an unlnstructed delegation will find the Roosevelt sentiment so strong that whin they go to the convention they will fall In line and get on the band wajBon. Just what amount of assurance either side r as that it will be able to control the situation Is not known. It is too far In advance of the state envention to tell now whether the delegation will be Instructed or not. Jt is true the Taft people have control of the state organization, but it Is stated that the state organisation as an organization will not undertake to dictate to the conventon as to what it shall do in this matter. The committee; It is point

ed out, does not intend to embarass Itself by any entanglement that might

affect Its future usefulness or effective

ness no matter who may be nominated

for any office

velt movement in this state. "Whether this is true or not. has not yet been learned, but It will be remembered that at the Delaware county reorganization convention some time ago the same element that backed the Roosevelt resoliyfTaXa also backed the county option resolutions. Pome of the politicians say this did not indicate any converted action or any frame tip between

the Roosevelt people and tne county optionlsts. but that it meant that the rural voters, who favor county option, also are for Roosevelt for President. State Chairman Sims is abut the busiest man that ever occupied the position' of state chairman at this stag of a campaign. He is receiving an.l answering something Ike 600 letters a week, from Republicans all over the state Most of the letters cpntain suggestions in regard to the campaign, and all Indicate that the Republicans are -n dead earnest this time, with the. inten- , tion 'of winning.

Members of the Moss committee of the House of Representatives say tbat though they have only scratched tho eurafce. they have been dumfounded by the revelations rerardlnr the exploitation of the Florida Everglades. Sensatioral evidence has been placed. in their hands by Repreentat:ve Clarl- of Florida, whose charges brought on the Investigation. Chief Engineer C. G. Elliot, of the Tin ted States reclamation servico. will be one of the witnesses called by the committee. Elliott was ..'fsmisned by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson .after he had revised a government report on the Everglades, so chans'-rig It that It drew protestations from those Interested In selling Everglades land, and resulted In the suppression of thm report, it Is charged, by TYil3on.

The Taft people have no headquar-hea ithy sign, for when the republicans

of Indiana become aroused there is no way to keep them from carrying the election. Where, a few months ago. there wa.t a general feeling of apathy and Indifference among the Republicans they are now like the country horse, with his head and taij up and stepping' high.

say a few things about this affair I have been a member of the Young Men's Christian association in many cities in the United States and I must say that this Is not the proper thing for a Y. M. C. A. at a Sunday afternoon meeting. "T am a preacher of the gospel ami I believe in keeping lord's day sacred I think this an outrage and should never be allowed in a Y. M. C. A. building. Again T say. that this is the Lord's1 day and it should be kept sacred and no comedy sketch should be allowed in a building supposed to be doing good for the Iord." 1 1. una Sne The ITny.

Knotts. There never was a positive and definite T statement from Dean or his attorneys, that there was a, distograph record on Knotts, although there was an impression, supported In some quarters that Dean had something very convincing about Knotts. If Dean should at any time put forth a dictograph record on him, Himmelblau's deposition of last Saturday will be to the effect that he had no part in making it ( Repent Affidavit Charges. The Bowser deposition deals largely with Hlmmelblau's version how the

record was made up. In substance it

is like Himmelblau's affidavit which appeared in The Times last Saturday, and is to the efrect that Dean supplemented Himmelblau's stenographic notes with long hand notes of a

own, that Dean ordered a typewritten

copy made of both sets of notes, am

that he then ordered Himmelblau to make a stenographic record of type written copy, so as to make it appear

1 that there were the original notes. Hi

also said that Dean had destroyed his really original shorthand notes. While, the defense is still rejoicing over what it claims wil mean a vindication, the state does' not appear to consider Himmelblau's position a3 fatal to the cause.

Himmelblau, the weakling, were simp

evidence against Mayor Knotts. What we have is far stronger. When his case reaches its 'climax he will be the

most surprised man in Indiana "I "nave affidavits from reputable

men to whom.. Himmelblau told of Hila plans to hold e up. He tried It, failed, and then switched to the defense." Mr. Dean said he had five men of high standing as dictograph witnesses. Tthey are Dr. II. M. Hosiner, Samuel Watson- president of the Northern State Bank: Ralph Julian, an employe of the Indiana Loan Company, and Harry A. Moose, city clerk. allof Gary, and John Horan, deputy United States marshal of Washington.

Several times it looked like Michlgan City was going to start something, but at those moments Crown Point's guards took a hand in the matter and kept the Michigan City , forwards busy handling the ball. Bartholomew starred at forward for Vhe Hub team, making some sensational throws in both contests. Wheeler and Etllng at guard also played consistent games. The following lineup was used: Bartholomew and Bruce, forwards; Pettibone, center; Etllng and Wheeler, guards. K

with the league would require too much loss of time' by the members, to make it advisable that they join. Mr. Gleason had however asked his repre

sentative to express his best wishes

and his interest in the welfare of the league, and to say that he will loose no opportunity to help the organization where he can be of assistance to it. . Dr. T. F Iourie of Gary, a consistent fan but not at present officially connected with any base bal organization, was present and declared that there was little doubt that Gary would be identified with the league one way or another this season. He said that he would do what he could toward organizing a team If necessary. G. B. Crisman was present from Valparaiso. He did not come with authority to act for the ball team of his

town, but was there to learn of the general plan to be adopted, and to report back to his people at Valpo. The constitution was read for the benefit of Mr. Crisman and others who might not

be familiar with it. It seems altogether likely that a'number of chanses
