FIGHT TO CENTER IN INDIANA (Continued from page five.) dldates for the nomination for Presi dent, have no delegates, elected, thus far, as far as can be learned. It is true, that the Taft delegates are near ly all from the southern states, where It 9t-as expected all along that Taft would get practically everything, but the mere fact that he has gathered in ninety delegates, no matter where they come from or how they are elected has given him a big lead that has made a god many people believe that he is certain to be renominated. People who are influenced by early results are predicting that Taft will now continue to gather in delegates so rapidly that there will be little left for the rest of the candidates. For this reason, the Taft and Roose velt campaign managers are straining evry nerve in the effort to win out. ln the First and Seventh Indiana dis tricts. The First will elect Its dele gates next Friday and the Seventh on Saturday. ' Hemenway and Hellman. In the First district the Taft candidates for delegates to the national convention are James A. Hemenway former United States Senator, and Charles Hellman, mayor of the city of Evansvllle. The names of the Roosevelt candidates for delegates have not been made known as yet. There does not seem to be much doubt but that Hemenway and Hellman will be eleca ed. Hemenway, although no longer in official life, is nevertheless tne same old power ln the politics of the Firs district, and it is believed that he will be able to line up his old following to sufficient strength to elect him as i delegate. Of course, if Hemenway i elected Heilman also will be elected Hellman is a political power in Evans ville, and everybody feels that he will be able to muster his full strength in the race for delegate. Vanderburgh county contains many Roosevelt Republicans, and they are numerous In othetf counties of the district, but the best Information obtainable seems to indicate that they will not" be strong enough to win out. In fact, the Taft people were so confident of their position in the First district that they called oft the speech which Charles Nagel, secretary of commerce andi labor, was to have made at Evansville last Saturday night. They felt that it wonld not be necessary. In the Seventh district there is a bitter fight. The Taft candidates for delegates are Mayor Shank and Capt. W. En. English. The Roosevelt candidates are Linton A. Cox and Sa$iul D. Tierson. Cox is an attorney ahd a popular Republican, and Pierson Is a cigar dealer' who has always been a strong follower of Roosevelt and Bev-i eridge. f The county organization , of which City Controller Harry Wallace is the chairman, is a Taft organization, and Wallace has said,' according to statements given out by the Roosevelt mar.' agers, that he propose to see to it thai they do not get a single delegate in the county. They Say he refused tt give them representation on thi primary election boards or to permit watchers at the count. They say he told them that no matter how many votes they cast at the primaries fce would see to it that they were not counted, and that if they elected any delegates to the district convention he would appoint a contest . committee that wouKl throw them out. Wallace denies that he made such statements, and Bays that he intends tconduct primaries, and that his contest board will be composed of high class, reputable Republicans. However, the fight' has reached the stage of bitterness and; ill-feeling, and there is no telling to what extent it may reach before primary day, next Friday. Secretary Nagel will make a speech in this city tonight at a big Taft meeting and Albert J. Beveridge will be. the speaker at a Roosevelt meeting here next Wednesday night. Much interest is being taken in these two meetings, because of the hot fight that is being made for' delegates. This wiU be Beveridge's first public utterance in relation to the issues raised in the fight for the presidential nomination, and It is said that he will handle the subject without gloves. It is expected that his speech will be of national character, and that it will be used as a campaign document by the Roosevelt management. The importance of the results In ths First and Seventh districts are indi cated by the strenuous efforts that are being made by both sides to win. Both sides realize that the e5-es of the country are on them ln these two districts. . ' , Present indications are that the Seventh district will elect two Taft delegates. There does not seem to be any other resuTt possible. Even the Roosevelt managers themselves are saying that the Seventh is undoubtedly a Taft district. ' ' ' . .

STEEL TOIIEPLEASIIIG

Good Trade Is Expected During the First Half of the Year. Considerable loosening up in busi ness during the last week or two has been noticeable in the iron and steel markets, and with a rather distinct! improvement in the railroad demanJ i for steel rails, manufacturera ar i coming to the conclusion that the first six months of 1912. at least, are as sured so far as tonnage 'is concerned They look for a good buslnes over the entire first half of the year, though not being so certain regarding the second half, owing to increasing importance of the political factor. The last two weeks of February, as it ls now possible to size them up, place that month ln the same class i Its three predecessors. Of the four, t' is. stated, January was the best, December a close second and February and November about equal competitors for third place. Considering this makers say that, were the average to bs maintained for the year. they, would be fairly wel satisfied. Ofthis there is some hope, for makers take encouragement from the unusually depleted state to which stocks of iron and teel products have run; almost every cla of consumer is short, and the need for replenishment never has been so great as now. &i Gary Rails For Wabaah. In the iron market the corporation's purchases of bessemer, baste pig iron and heavy melting scrap, having exhausted its own supply of melting material, has been the most important event. Railroads Getting; Busy. An aspect , of this noWMs being afforden by the railroads in their improved demand for rails, increased activity in this department eeerning to be contingent upon the preparations being made for spring maintenance work. The significant feature, however, is a very urgent call from the railroads for immediate shipment. Not only ls quite a tonnage of. new busi ness being placed with the mills, but some of the roads are not waiting for the deliveries called for in their contracts, pressing the mills for shipment, ln anticipation of the specified time. Simultaneously there is a good tonnage of track fastenings, such as spikes, bolts, tie plates, angle bars, etc., moving, and: going to swell the railroads. The Rock Island rail order is expected within a short time, and ls not expected to exceed 15.000 tons, compared with original plans for 25,000 tons. Days tlevs In Gary TIMBER THIEVES BUSY IN GARY. Timber thieves are again busy steal ing wood from the several hundred acres of wooded land in and around Gary. One of the heaviest sufferers is the Gary Land company, owner of 9,000 acres, of which one-fourth is timber land. Recently the thieves have cut down much timber east of Broadway and near the Aetna-Gary line. Private property owners have also suffered heavily. Most of the thieves are foreigners who are seemingly tinder the Impression mat living in a rree country permits them to steel trees from unfenced land. ATTEND FUNERAL OF LOUIS BOWSER. Mayor Knotts, members of the Gary common council, city officials and officials and men from the Gary steel mills will go to Chesterton tomorrow to attend the funeral of JUuls Bowser, father of Alderman Emerson L bowser of Gary, chief of police at, the steel mills. The dead man was also the father of former State Serfator A. J. Bowser, now editor of the Chesterton Tribute. , The elder Bowser, who died early Saturday morning, was "5 years old.
