iOCRAT!

WON'T HAVE

WALKAWAY

Ticket Named by Republicans Is Strongest That

Has Been Put Up in Years; Durbin Split Col. Carlisle '3 Vote.

TIMES nurfEAi'. AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 8. Since th republican state convention was held here on Tuesday the word has gone out to the democratic workers that this election Is not going: to be a walkaway for the democrats and that every democrat in the state has got to work If he wants the party to win this fall. The democrats recognize the ability of Wlnfleld T. Durbin as an organiser and they are not going to take any chances. One democrat pointed out that Dur

bin is not a speech-maker nor can he go out in a campaign and make a lot of noise as the nominee for governor, but that he goes "pussy-footing" around over the state making his organisation and lining up the voters.

That has always beea his method of campaign. ' j It is pointed out, too, that Durbln's business connections and associations, extensive as they are. make him probably more able to finance a campaign I than any other man that could have

been nominated. It is figured that many business people will assist financially because Durbin la the nominee. These considerations entered into action of the state convention in the selection of Durbin for governor. Another thing that aided in his nomina

tion was the fact that the anti-saloon league was opposed to Mayor Shank and would not stand for htm for a minute. There was talk that if Shank was nominated the temperance people would hold another convention of their

own and put up their own ticket. They are unalterably opposed to Samuel M. Ralston, the democratic nominee for governor, because he is a genuine Taggart-brewery candidate, running on a wet platform. They will not stand for Beveridge, the bull moose nominee, because of his opposition to the county option proposition two years ago. The anti-saloon leakue did not favor the nomination of Durbin. It wanted Hugh Miller or J. Frank Hanly, but Miller refused to run and when Hanly'B name was mentioned in the convention it was hissed. So. after Durbin's candidacy was announced the temperance people either had to accept him or put-up another candidate, so they brought out John C. Chaney of Sullivan, former congressman from the second district, on the theory that the temperance

and church people in the convention would get behind him, bat the plan was started too late. Many delegations that they thought would go to Chaney already had lined up for Durbin, and the plan failed. But while the anti-saloon league did not favor Durbin, it is believed that it

will indorse him and work for his j

election in preference to either of the other candidates.

Another thing that worked against Shank was that 90 many people regarded him as nothing more than a clown and a buffoon who would be ridiculous as a candidate or governor. They were looking for real candidates not clowns. Charles A. Carlisle of South Bend made a good race, considering the handicap of having Durbin come into the race at the last minute. Durhin

appealed to the business people, as did Carlisle, and this caused a split In I Carlisle forces. However, he had J nearly three hundred delegates who I stuck to him, and Inasmuch as he Is I a new Hgure in state politics, this is regarded as a strong showing of the high personal regard In which he is j held by those who know him. I

Below the office of governor the !

ticket also is strong. Thomas T. Moore of Greencastle, for lieutenantgovernor, is the author of the Moore remonstrance law, and a former state

senator and representative. He is a i

man of high character and standing. Fred I. King of Wabash is the can

didate of the younger element in the' party. He was representative for two 1 terms and in one term of the legisla- j ture he was the republican floor leader in the house. He made an excell- ! ent record, and It is said that he will ' get many democratic votes in his county and district. j I. Newt Brown of Franklin was

nominated for auditor of state. He is j a farmer not a "telephone" farmer, but the kind of farmer that actually farms and does the work. He Is up

to date and progressive. He Is president of the state board of agriculture, which has charge of the state fairs. Another business man on the ticket is Job Freeman; of Terre Haute, the nominee for state treasurer. He is a large owner of coal mines in Indiana, and employs hundreds of men. and stands well with all of them. He never has any trouble with his employes. F. K. Wuner of South Bend is practically" a new figure in state politics, but he has won his place this year by the magnificent fight he made In th Thirteenth district for the election of Taft delegates to the Chicago convention. "When his name was announced here as a candidate for attorney-general it was recognised at once that he would be a strong man for the place, because of his republicanism, his ability as a lawyer and his geographical location. His selection is regarded as especially fortunate. There was no opposition to Samuel

St. Paul. Minn.. Aug. 8. -With the outlook for bumper crops in the northwest, far better this year than it has been for the past seven years, an urgent call has been sent out for harvest hands by the farms and land owners of the territory. Figures suppiled by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. I'aul railway show that employment can be found at once in the Dakotas

and Montana for at least 8.000 farm hands, with the wages ranging from

$2 to $3.50 per day.

Harvest Ten Days Off. The wheat harvest will be in full swing within the next ten days and work can be had up until fall. For

the last seven years crop conditions in the northwest have been such that harvest hands could be secured from that territory, but on account of the showing of the crops this year it will be absolutely necessary that farm hands be shipped there from the larger cities of rjie middle west to assist in caring for them. The railroads are exerting every ef

fort to send men to the aid of the northwest farmers. Railroad laborer in some sections are now deserting their work and hiring out to the farmers. Employment agencies in the Twin Cities have been unable to give much assistance to the land owners in the northwest, as the labor market in those cities and adjoining territory la

limited this year. I.br Scarcity Alarm Parmer. This shortage of harvest help ha given the farmers great alarm. Hequests have been received from the following towns: Aberdeen. S. D., 400 hands; Abercrombie. N. D., 160; Andover, S. D., 100; Corona, S. D..J10; Erwin, a D.. 100; EUendale, N. D., S00; Edgerley, N. D.. 200; Howard. 6. D., 100; Hlckson, N.

Terre Haute Several men have become associated in a scheme to provide a big tent auditorium for campaign meetings and rent it out to all parties. The socialists have engaged it for five meetings. One will be for Kelr Hardle, the English miner member of parliament, who will land In New Tork August 31 for a six weeks speaking tour in behalf of the ticket, headed by Eugene V. Debs of Terre Haute, candidate for president.

C. Ferrell of Fort Wayne for superintendent of public Instruction. Mr. Ferrell was the nominee two years ago and it was agreed on all sides that he should have a clear field this year if he wished to run again. Mr. Ferrell is one of the best-known and most popular educators in the state, and his nomination will be pleasing to the school people. J. L Peetz of this city was state statistician for two years and was up for re-election two years ago, but was defeated, along with the rest of the ticket. He had no opposition for the nomination. Warwick H. Ripley of this city, for reporter of the supreme court, is the author of several law books, and a man of high standing. Judge Woodfln D. Robinson of Evansville, and Judge Leander Monks of Winchester, for judges of the supreme court, and Judge David A. Myers of

Greensburg, for judge of the appellate

court, are-well-known to the lawyers of the state as perhaps any other men in Indiana, all having served long terms on the bench. Monks and Myers are still judges of their courts. , Taken all in all, the ticket is regarded here as being one of the strongest put up by the republicans in years, and it looks like there will be a united eoffrt of the party, all the way down the line to put it over, regardless of the trouble that has been started by the bull moosers.
