Former Indiana Senator's Declaration for Teddy 'p Party Puts Him in Line for Gubernatorial Nomination. TTMKS BCTUEA17. AT STATE CAPITAL Indianapolis, Ind., July 30. Now that Albert J. Beverldge has at last declared himself and has lined up with the third party there la Joy In the third party camp. It la the belief here that the letter which Beverldsre wrote to "William Holton Dye, of this city, and which has Juat been published, is but the paving of the way ' tor ' the nomination of Beverldge for Governor on the third party ticket. This may not be the case, but a good many of the politicians here believe It la. Is Offered NooUnattoa. " It is known that several hundred telegram have been sent from Indiana to Beveridgre In the Maine woods asking; him to accept the nomination for Governor. ' One hundred and twenty-two such telegrams have been sent from the Ninth district alone, and It is said that many others have gone from other districts. Whether Beveridge can withstand this bombardment of telegrams is a question, and many believe (Hat he will yield and take the nomination. i Doubt la Dispelled. The fact that Beverldge was choin by Senator Dixon to be temporary chairman of the third party national convention at Chicago on August 5 also 's taken as further proof that Beverldge is going to be in the campaign up to his ears, and that he may decide to take the nomination for Governor If he finds that he can aid the third party by doing so. . Up to the time of the ' publication yesterday of the Beverldge letter In which he lned up squarely with the third party there was doubt as to what he would do. This letter, however, dispelled all such doubt. Strematm Vmkmowm. Just what amount of strength Beverldge would add" to the third party State ticket as candidate for Governor is a question, but Republican workers believe that he would ' not do - the movement sny p irttcular good. They think that ' he would not be able to take with him many of the men who followed his lead in the old days. In other words, they do not fear Beverldge as a candidate. Carlisle Meets Kdltora. There has been considerable interest here In the candidacy of Col. C. A. Carlisle; of South Bend, for the Republican nomination' for Governor since he was In the city the other day to attend the meeting of Republican editors. Col. Carlisle met all of the editors and made a jshort talk In the meeting. He did not touch on the political questions of the day, but merely thanked the editors for the opportunity to get acquainted with them. Many of the editors had not Seen him before, and It Is known that he made a good Impression. The race for the Republican nomination for Governor seems to lie between Col. Carlisle, Mayor Shank of this city and George B. Lockwood, of Marlon. All other names mentioned appear to be1 more possibilities and dark horses. Ob Covmty Option. Lockwood would not run unless the platform declares for county option. It is practically certain, however, that there will be a eoupty option plank in the platform. Lockwood says he would gladly retire as a candidate in favor of Hugh Miller, of Columbus. If , the latter would consent to take the nomination, - but Miller has all - along sidestepped the offer. However, there Is still a posibility, though remote, that Miller might get Into the race. He is about as strong a county optionlst as Lockwood. At Work Oa Platform. It is not known what the third party will do In regard to county option .in Its state platform. It is known that three or four third party leaders are working on the draft of a platform to be presented to the state convention next week, but what they are going to do about county option is still a question. When Edwin M. Lee was' asked about the matter he said he did not know what the platform would con tain. He said he did not know whether It would declare for . county option or not. Lee and Horace C. Stillwell. of Anderson, the other member of the Lee-Stillwell combine, , are both opposed to county option, and since they are expected to have much to say fn regard to the makeup of the platform and everything else about the convention, it is believed that there will b no county option declaration if they can prevent It. Receive SnorBreatloaa. It Is understood that a number of suggestions for the third party platform have been received from the national headquarters at New York and that most of them will be goven Into the platform. This document is expected to embody all of the Isms that have been dragged by the tail into the present campaign, but It is said thit there will be a determined effort on the part of some of the third party men to keep out any declaration In favor of the initiative, referendum and recall. Some of them do . not take kindly to this principle. One funny thing has turned up In

the campaign, and that Is the estimate which the Republicans and the third ! party managers place on each others state convention. The Republicans inslst that not more than 60 of the nine- ' ty counties will be represented in the third party convention, and the third party fellows declare that there will be a nuraoer or counties witnouf reprevention.

FW from North End.' There were just two representatives from Hammond ' at the convention in Crown 'Point yesterday, Milo Bruce and Elmer D. Brandenburg. Willlas E. Roe was the leading representative from East Chicago. There was quite a delegation from Gary. But the entire northern part of the county, the great manufacturing district, where most of the fotes will-be cost, there were just seventeen delegates. The rest were all from the rural districts of the county. For the most part the new party was made up of disgruntled off-shoots of the republican party. A. F. Knotts, who has been ignored as a political factor for years; Elmer D. Brandenburg of Hammond, who was defeated as a candidate a number of times; Willis E. Roe of East Chicago, who has never been In the ' councils of his party there, and Herbert E. Jones, county recorder, who has fed at the public crib by 4jjy of the republican party for years. There are some of the men who are guiding the destinies of the progressivs party in Lake county. Delegate Power. The business of the progressives was done with neatness and dispatch.' The memory of the steam roller was perpetuated by the use of It. The few who thought it inadvisable- to put a county, district and state ticket in the field were steam rolled to a finish. A very unusual procedure was the selection of a committee which in turn was expected o select the delegates to the convention at Indianapolis.

The completion of the Ridge road traction negotiations 'give the people of that district -a five-cent" fare and fast service to the various steel mills of the city. "It also- gives through lnterurban service from Crown Point, with Hammond and all connecting points reaping the benefit. The Air Line is completed - from Broadway to Laporte and by means of a contract with the Chicago, South Bend & Northern . Indiana system Air Line . cars will operate on from Laporte to South Bend.. All that is necessary to place the - Hammond-South Bend line in operation Is the completion of the crossing across Broadway at Eleventh avenue. Every effort will be made to do It this week. Extension of the East Fifth avenue division of the Gary & Interurban and the extension of the West Fifth avenue division from Ambrtage to Indiana Harbor will give a new direct line from the Harbor to the bolt and screw works and the Aetna boundary. A move that will have much to do with the suburban development of East Gary (formerly known as Lake Station) and Garyton, the new village on the Porter county limits, is the nickel fare that will obtain from the Gary mills to these points. . This line has been In operation for four months, but a ten-cent fare to Broadway and another nickel to the mills made the trip a fifteen-cent ride. By the purchase of sixty-ride tickets East Gary and Garyton commuters may have a five-cent fare. It Is expected that the various traction moves will result in a rapid growth and healthy real estate movement in East Gay, Garyton, Ridge road and the district north of Crown roiaU
