IT WILL BE BETWEEN FAIRBANKS AND H EM EN WAY ON THE ONE HAND AND SENATOR BEVERIDGE ON THE OTHER. Washington, D. C. March iS. Members of the Indiana delegat'on in congress are beginning to strike the trail back home in order to take part in the republican state convention and its preliminaries. The convention assembles next Wednesday to nominate a governor and other state candidates. The Fairbanks-Hemenway organization are supporting Representative James E. Watson, of the Sixth district, while the faction headed by Senator Beveridgo is backing former Attorney General Charles W. Miller. Hemenway has already gone home and Beveridso will probably leave today. Representative Overstrcet, who will sound the keynote, will also depart in a day or two. In his speech Overstreet will declare for tariff revision along republican lines.

LAW NOT REPEALEET Depository Measure Does Not Displace old Ruling Affecting Treasurers. BINGHAM MAKES A RULING. James Bingham, attorney general, has given an opinion to the effect that an old law which provided for advance payments to the state treasurer by county treasurers has not bpen repealed by the public depository law. The opinion was requested by the state auditor. If it had bsen found that the old law had been repealed, the business of the state would have been seriously affected as most of the state funds are tied up in different Hanks as time deposits and without advance payments from the county treasurers, the state would not have money enough to continue business and state officprs would have to wait several months for the pay.
