Talk About The Next Governor.

Indiauapplis, April 2 —ln the d ill moments politicians will talk politics. That is a habit in Indiana. Most any little bunch of Hoosiers can scrape up a talk on polities. To all appearances there is a host of men in the state who, would be glad to bear the burdens of the office ot the chief executive. Both parties have large waiting lists. Mentioned as strong possibilities for the republican nomination are Lieut. Gov. Hugh Th. Miller, form er Attorney General Charles W. Miller, W. H. H. Miller, Congressman James B. Watson, Congressman C. B. Lindis, Union B. Hunt, Charles E. Shiveley, James P. Goodricn, state republican chairman, and Francis T. Roots. Of these the Millers, or at least one of them, are said by their friends to be the strongest, bat “Jim”’ Goodrich has the reputation of being a

winner. He never has gone after anything before except the state chairmanship. Not to be outdone, the democrats have a bunch, many of whom have their lightning rods up. The men spoken of in this con nection are Senator L. Ert. Slack, Pierre Gray, Samuel L. Ralston, Congressman Adair, Dan Simms, B. F. Shively, Judge New, and Rev. John KnhD. The Democrats say they never had a better chance to carry the state, and they propose to pick out a good ticket, and make the fight of their lives.
