Speaking for That Branch of the Republicans, James E. Watson Declares There Will Be No Split. STAND-PATTERS WILL' STAND BY THE PARTY This Course Assured, Even Though a Republican Legislature Means the Return of Beveridge to the Senate.

Indianapolis, July 15. "I am exceedingly anxious to see our state ticket successful this fall and I urge on my friends the necessity of standing together for that purpose. I am equally solicitous for the welfare of our legislative ticket, and whatever I can do, either publicly or. privately, looking to either result shall be done." Thia declaration maW by James . Watson In his speech at the First district republican congressional convention at Boonville yesterday, Is In Itelf the answer to those who have been saying that the standpat republicans of Indiana were going to knife Senator Beveridge this year. Watson, James A. Hemenway and Wlnfield T. Durbln are the most prominent leadera In that element of the party which does not believe as Beveridge does on the tariff question, and an utterance by any on of the three is taken as representing the views of that section of the party. This Is not the first time that Watson has made the same declaration. Some weeka ago he expressed himself as ready to go out and work for the success of the entire republican ticket, state and legislative, uut VYwn autvr umwauMi mm been made there were still those who believed that he did not mean It. However, his statement at Boonville made yesterday. Is taken here aa additional proof that whatever of factionalism there was In the party, some time ago haa to a large extent disappeared, and there Is every Indication now that harmonious conditions will prevail throughout the campaign. It la recognised that the stand taken by Watson In his Boonville speech does not mean that he loves Beveridge any better than he has ever loved hlra but It means that Watson proposes to stand regular with his party in the Indiana state fight, just as he Insists that he haa stood regular with Ms party on the tariff question and In other national matters. To defeat Senator Beveridge It would be necessary to elect a democratic legislature, and this would send a democrat to the senate In the place of Beveridge. It has not been reasonable at any time to suspect that Watson, Hemenway and Durbln and the other republicans who believe with them would prefer a democratic senator to Beveridge. Beveridge Praised. Another Indication In this same direction was given at the Boonville convention yesterday, when Hemenway Insisted that the resolutions commend 8enator Beverldge's course and his vote on several of the Important matters which were before congress at the last session. Some of the politicians wished to Ignore Beveridge by falling to mention his name in the resolutions, but when Hemenway beard of thia he headed it oft .and as a result the resolutions gave praise to Beveridge for his work for the statehood bill, child labor legislation and other matters. The Payne-Aldrich tariff law was not mentioned by name, being referred to as "the present tariff law." The declaration by Watson will do much to clear up the political situation, for It shows that the republicans will present a united frcnt this year Instead of the demoralized, split-up condition which tho democrats have been predicting. Along this same line it Is pointed out that the republican state committee Is carrying on the work of organisation of the party to the fullest extent and that 'the committee realises the need of a close organisation. At the state headquarters Secretary Hays Is working out a plan by which he can keep In touch with all of the 3,700 precinct committeemen In the state as well as all of the sub-commltteemen who will be appointed to work with the precinct committeemen. Through these committee members he believes be will be able to reach every doubtful voter In the state, and this is a very Important feature of campaign work. Party Workers Interested. Many of the committeemen have already called at the state headquarters and there la scarcely a day that some of them do not come in. Secretary Hays says he takes this aa a good Indication that the party workers are Interested In the success of the party at the election and that they are getting ready to do real work when the campaign Is opened In earnest I.

Today we are carrying a lot of advertising. There Is a practical lesson for some one's profit If heU come around and look at our composing room. The stones are all full and the hook is full of copy. Some men who wanted to advertise are left out today. They didn't get their copy in early enough and there la a limit to our capacity even. As a rule we can stretch the capacity to the breaking point BUT IT STANDS TO REASON THAT WE GIVE BETTER SERVICE WHEN THE ADVERTISER GIVES US TIME. Some men put off advertising to the last minute. The most successful advertisers In this town prepare their copy ahead of time, have their position, read their proof, and do not have any changes to make. It'a the difference between a seat in the Fifth Row on the Aisle and' Standing Room Only. A LITTLE FORETHOUGHT WILL GIVE YOU THE BEST SERVICE. In our composing room we have the best ad compositors In this part of the country- They do their work exceedingly quickly and Intelligently.' It la natural that when they have time for a job and good clean copy it's the advertiser who profits.

Cly in the instance of the renvonstrarrce against the closing of Center sveet has the company encountered any difficulty. In the remonstrance of Stella Oler many technicalities of law have arisen. TELLS ROOSEVELT OF THIRD TERM TALK Leading Republican from Nebraska Visits Ex-president With His Message. "FROM MEXICO TO DAKOTA" FORMER AMBASSADOR TO BRAZIL DECLARES THE MIDDLE WEST DEMANDS THAT ROOSEVELT ACCEPT NOMINATION AGAIN. New York, July 15. DavlS E. Thompson, of Lincoln. Neb., former ambassador to Brazil and later to Mexico, today visited Theodore Roosevelt to tell him that the far middle west Is solid for a third term, according to reports from Thompson's lieutenants. When he called at the Outlook office the contributing editor greeted him effusively with a strenuous slap on the back and talked rapidly for some mo ments to the exclusion of a hundred others waiting for an audience. Thompson declared he had not time to lay his idea fully before Roosevelt but would seek another opportunity later. 1 . , . "From the Dakotas to Mexico," he said, "the sentiment for a third term is strong. I came on to lay the Idea before Mr. Roosevelt I have covered the territory closely through my political friends and know what's what." Thompson quit the Mexican ambassadorship last December after he had become president of the Pan-American Railway in Mexico. Much criticism was aroused because of his official position when he became interested in the railroad. He started his career as a brakeman. TIS Indianapolis, July 15.

Postoffice Department in ConT ducting Investigation Finds Nearly 500 Have Been Built Within Past Two Years.

STILL GREAT DEMAND AMONG LABORING MEN Growth of City Principally in the Extreme Southern and Eastern Parts Will Have New Mail Carriers. Extensive building as well ' as the scarcity of suitable houses in Rich mond are reflected in statistics gath ered by Lawrence Handiey, superln tendent of the 'city mail delivery, with a view of securing the appointment of two sew mail carriers at the Richmond post office. Since October 1, 190S, 447 new buildings have been add ed to the post office directory, making the total number of stops approximately 6,000. A great majority of these new stops are residences. The bulk of the new building has been in the extreme south and east portions of the city and ic West Richmond. Route No. 11, covering the south and east parts has been increas ed by 94 houses in the last twenty-one months, while during the same time. 12S houses have been constructed on the west side. Route No. 10, north of Main and east of Seventeenth street has been increased by 50 houses. On North F street, from Seventeenth to Twenty-third street, 19 new residences have been constructed and all of these homes are well built Ask Two' New Carriers. Postmaster E. M. Haas will make an application to the post office department for two new carriers as soon as Handiey gets the statistics la shape. At present the city delivery includes Spring Grove and much other territory Just outside the city limits. ' The limits are being extended - in Spring Grove, the same as in the south and east, and if new carriers are obtained the city delivery will be extended to meet the demands. No extension can be made, however, until new carriers are provided. Mr. Handiey says, however, that he does not expect the appointments to materialize until the fall season when mail increases. Approximately 25,000 people are now benefited by the city delivery. In the course of his investigation, Handiey has found . that there is a great scarcity of houses obtainable at a low rate of rent In Richmond. For this reason the .factories are having difficulty in holding labor for any length of time, and he said. that there is a change in the laborers at many of the big factories every day. Men come to Richmond and work for a time, but as they are unable to find houses with rent in proportion to their pay, they cannot bring their families and hence stay only a short time. Suggested Remedies. The. South Side Improvement association has recognized this fact and attempted to organize a company to build cheap houses in BeaHview, but the proposition did not materialize as no stockholders could be obtained. Adolph BlickwedeL president of the association, stated yesterday that the matter was not entirely dead and might be revived. .-. The National Automatic Tool company of Beallview, had a large number of men under contract to come, but no houses could be found for them. - . ' COMPLETES PAYMENT South Side Improvement Association Will Turn Over Last $5,000 of Bonds. SECURED NEW TOOL WORKS The final payment of $5,000 on the building- occupied by the National Automatic Tool Works In Beallview, will be made to the Industrial Realty company, who constructed the building, by the South Side Improvement association at Its meeting Tuesday night. Adolph Blickwedel, president of the association, stated this morning: that the money would-be raised by Tuesday night If possible. The Industrial Realty company was organized by men Interested In the Tool Works. A bonus of $20,000 was given by the South Side Improvement association, to be paid In for parts. There win be other Important business at the meeting TuesdayTHE WEATHER. INDIANA Partly cloudy; thunderstorms tonight and Saturday; Warmer tonight.
