A Dozen Candidates For Senator.

The Republican politicians are kept busy with their pencils and note books writing down the names of those who aspire to inherit Senator Fairbanks position. The list as they have recorded it, includes up to date an even dozen, as follows: Gov. Durbin, James A. Hemenway, Charles B. Landis, Edgar D. Crumpaoker, Daniel Y 7. Steele, James M.Barlow, Harry S. New, Addison C. Harris, John L. Griffiths, E. E. Hendee and Warren Sayre. According to the Indianapolis Star Hendee’s oandidaoy is regarded as the opening gun of a most bitter fight on Gov. Durbin. The governor has been too aotive in politios to avoid engendering hostilities, and all of his enemies are now whetting their knives preparatory to a concerted effort to oarve him. Back of Hendee’s oandidaoy the politicians see an organized movement to throw stones in the r"' h of the governor, and already te of them have somber foretings that the fight is going to up so much bad blood as to > the Democrats the best chance r have had for years to carry legislature.
