profess to believe that there will io several more candidates for the nomination for Governor before the Democratic state convention is held next month, and they say that every new candidate that comes into the field will help their chances just that, much. However, there does not appear to be any likelihood of others coming out. Congressmen Adair, Barnhart and Moss have been talked of, as will be remembered, but none of these men has indicated lately that he would get in the race. About the only chance left for an additional candidate is seen in the
possibility of Judge Lawrence Becker of Hammond becoming a candidate.
Yet, it is said, he will not get in the race, because of the judicial position which he holds in Lake county. He would make a strong candidate especially in the northern part of the state. From- present indications, how
ever, the rght lor the nomination for
Governor will be between Ralston aiul
Boehne. with Lieutenant Governor
Frank J. Hall in the also ran class.

A Victor phonograph and musie cab
inet has already- been purchased, and
with the aid of the machine the pupils
of the schools are to bo acquainted with
the classical music as sung by the fore most artists on the stage.
This is not a new experiment, as the
success of this manner of teaching has
been proven In large cities. A number of the other Hammond schools are
striving to install a similar equipment for the benefit of the pupils, and they, too, will raise money much in the same
way that the Lafayette school did.
Parents Co-Ope rale.
The Brownie dance, the scene of
which was laid in the woods, afforded
opportunity for songs and drills, in which the pupils appeared as brownies, wood nymphs, fairies, gypsies, owls.

collectively they deserve much praise.
Miss Rena Ames, principal of the

that she was delighted with the result.
The expressed her appreciation for the
co-operation that the teachers had re
ceived from the parents, saying that but for this, success would have been
impossible.

Big House Booked.
Th prospect is that the entire house
will be sold out for "Louisiana Lou" at
the Hammond theater tomorrow night
There was never a larger advance sale
In the history of the theater. The show is a monster production and is
expected to make a great hit with the
people of this locality.

the show that had such a long run at
the Lyric theater last season.

NEW TEAM STARTED
TIMES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITAL.
Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 24. Some of
the letters that have been sent out from the Roosevelt headquarters in this city to prominent Republicans over the state have been sent by the recipients to the
llepublican state headquarters and to
other Republican leaders, and some of
the letters are interesting. Rome of
them invite the recipient to call at the headquaters and get acquainted. They advise the man that it is necessary for
the Republicans to nominate Roosevelt
to save the party, and urge him to Join in the movement.
Another kind of letter invites the
man receiving it to come to Indianapolis and visit the Roosevelt headauar-
ters and talk over the situation, and
offers to pay his expenses on the trip up
to $25. Whether the 125 proposition has attracted anybody to the headquar
ters is not known, but it is a fact that
a good many Republicans are cvalline
there daily.
K. M. Lee, who is in charge of the
Roosevelt movement in this state, says
that he opened the state headquarters and has maintained It thus far at his own expense, but that he expects later
to call on the Roosevelt followers in
the stat-i for help to carry on the
ork. He now has two rooms at the
Hotel English, and has added to his
staff ur.tll he has a secretary, one clerk and six stenographers at work.
State Chairman Sims, of the Republi
can siaie committee, is sending out a
large number of copies of the exhaustive opinion recently given by Attorney
General Honan to Governor Marshall construing the new corrupt practices
law and the new voters registration la. There were so many questions ask
ed of the state officials In regard to the
new laws and their operation that the
attorney general was asked to prepare
a thorough and exhaustive treatise iin
the laws and how they work. Under
the Indiana law the opinion of the attorney general stands as the authoritative interpretation of a new law until
it nas oeen passed on by the courts.
Therefore, the opinion just now given
by the attorney general will be bind
lng In the cominyg campaign. Thi-
makes the opinion of official value, and
it is being studied carefully by those
in charge of the campaign.
Several thousand copies of the opin
ion have been printed, and they are be
ing sent out to county chairmen for
distribution among the workers who
may find use for them.
It is the hope of the State Chairman
Sims that the Republicans of the state
will study carefully the new laws, so as
to he ready tb do the campaign work
under them this year. He says thnt many questions are coming, in to the
headuarters from over the state, and
that he hopes the attorney general's
opinion will answer all of them.
One of the things that has been dis
covered to be legal under the present
law Is that while a candidate for office
cannot pay oft a cent for anything of value to give a voter, yet he can hire as many voters as he pleases to work
for him in the campaign. He can, also hire them to work for him on election day, although he cannot authorize them
to pay out any money for him or give
away cigars, liquor or any other thing of value. One inquirer wanted to know
whether, under this law. . a candida te could hire men to leave the county ami work for him in some other place on
election day, thus keeping them from voting at their home precincts. There is a difference of opinion as to whether he could do so without being prosecuted, but the authorities seem to think he could. Some of the anti-Taggart Democrats

Mr. Perry was placed on trial in 1905 on a charge of having caused the fire in order to cover his claim through the insurance, vindicated him after a few minutes' consideration of the evidence, their foreman afterward stating. "Xo testimony offered by the state for a motive shook our opinion."
