STiLLWELL MY BE NAMED

AS REPUBILCAW

TIMES BIKEAl. AT STATE CAPITAL Indianapolis, Ind., May 27. Horace Stlllwell, of Anderson, is being talked of as the man likely to be nominate! by the Republicans for Governor of Indiana in case of the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for President at the Chicago convention. Just who will be the nominee If President Taft is renominated la a question, as there are several names prominently before the party for consideration in that event. Stlllwell, however, seems to have the oil on the nomination if Roosevelt s chosen. Up to this time Stlllwell his paid no attention to the talk of his nomination. He has said that he did not regard the talk as of a serious nature and that therefore he was giving it ho heed. But the Roosevelt leaders are talking right along and apparently laying plans to bring about Stlllwell's nomination. Stlllwell is a traction lawyer at Anderson. He is rich and for years he has been prominent in party politics, especially in the Eighth district. At the recent Republican state convention Stlllwell was the actual floor leader of the Roosevelt faction and showed himself to be a leader than can lead. His appearance before the crowd at that convention was a dramatic incident The great hall was packed with people, the delegates occupying the lower floors and the spectators filling the balconies and galleries to overflowing. A

velt shouters remained .quiet until

Wood had finished his speech. It was a personal triumph for Stlllwell, for t6

other man could have brought order

out of that chaos.

When the committee on credentials

read Its majority report seating prac

tically all of the Taft delegates whose

seats had been contested, Stlllwell, a

minority member of the committee.

read a minority report favoring

the

sealing of the Roosevelt delegates. His report was a vigorous one In which he

made stinging charges against the ma

spite or feeling" against anyone.

Stillwell has been placed ln charge

of the contests which the Indiana

i Roosevelt people are making for seats ln the Chicago convention., and he Is

gathering Jn affidavits and evidence!

which will be used ln the contests

which are to be heard by the national committee. He was chosen for that work by Ormsby McHarg, who la the

general director of the Roosevelt con

tests. No one expects the Roosevelt

contests from Indiana to . amount to

anything at the convention, but they

are being pushed with vigor. Just the

same. .......

Stlllwell will not be a candidate for the nomination for Governor ln case of

the renominatlon or President Taft.

That much Is sure. But If Roosevelt happens to win at Chicago, there is good reason to believe that his name

will go before the convention. ALL HONOR " TO NATION'S

one of the druggists said today that

steps may be taken to enforce the law

calling for the closing of every sa

loon ln the steel city... the Lataewoods park bar included. This' bit of news

was received with no Joy at the city hall and the spirits of the. barkeepers

already dampened by? the weather and

the news that Lowell had gone "dry" rather put them on i"edges."

According to the Informant steps

will be taken to close every bar next

Sabath day and that, the affidavits will

the exception of the last finishing touches. Carpenters have been working over time to get It ln shape for the hi Decoration Day game.

The grandstand Is a substantial structure which looks as though it could ably take care of as many as can be seated on it, without fear of
