What Was Lacking.

A man who had served two terms In congress was making a campaign foi a third term.

You ha ve no idea of the ob stacles that He in the way of a con gressman who tries to secure appro priatlons for public buildings, the improvement of navigable streams and the like for the benefit of his constituents, bpt I have labored constantly in your behalf to the very best of my ability." “We know it!” shouted an old farmer in the audience. “That’s why we want an abler man.” —Youth s Companion.

A WINNING SPIRIT

Republican State Convention Dominated by Contagious Enthusiasm. A NOTABLE ASSEMBLAGE Rarely Has Historic Tomlinson Hall Housed So Significant a Gathering of the People. * • . 1 ■ ■ i. The “Keynote" Oratory of the Leaders Was Applauded In No Unmistakable Manner. For Secretary of State — FRED SIMS. For Auditor of State — JOHN C. BILLHEIMER. For Treasurer of State— OBCAR HADLEY. For Attorney General — * JAMES BINGHAM. For Rfeporter of Supreme Court— GEORGE W. SELF. For Judge of the Appellate Court— DAVID MYERS. Indianapolis, April 2. —The above section of the ticket which Indiana Republicans will battle for during the coming campaign was disposed of "with neatness and dispatch” this morning. These lucky gentlemen had no opposition, hence, according to the rules adopted by the convention, they were nominated by acclamation at the beginning of this morning’s session, thus clearing the decks for the delegates to proceed to the more arduous task of selecting by ballot the balance of the ticket, for places on which there are candidates numerous and insistent

FLOODS OF ORATORY The First Day’s Session Marked by Ringing Addresses. Indianapolis, April 2. Who said the Republicans of Indiana were "skeered”? Nothing of the sort! Had there been any need to refute this slander, even the merest incidental view of those thousands of enthusiastic partisans who gathered in Tomlinson hall yesterday afternoon would have effectually silenced any such a statement, ft can safely be said that —not at least in recent years—there has never been such an enthusiastic and single-minded outpouring at a political convention in this state. The delegate representatives of the party from over the state were there fully imbued with the high character of the task before them. There was apparent in the tense attitude of all during the presentation of the party’s position in the coming campaign, as outlined by the several speakers of the afternoon, an electric sense of attention that proved their realization of the importance of the work which they had gathered to perform. The great outpouring of Indiana Democracy at the convention the week before and the display of enthusiasm cans to do even better in the way of attendance, and historic old Tomlinson hall was crowded as it has rarely been; while in point of enthusiasm and intentness of purpose no convention could have been more unanimous. First Day’s Proceedings. Long before the hour of convening the galleries were filled with interested spectators, and as the floor began to fill with delegates the scene was one of much animation. As the stage slowly filled with the convention’s guests, the hall was frequently shaken with applause as one or another of the party’s popular leaders In the stats appeared. There was a degree of fine fellowship in the air of the delegates toward their leaden that was striking, conveying somehow a sense of oneness In the attitude of the party in Indiana this year that was particularly impressive to old political observers. The presence on the stage and In the balcony reserved for their use, of many ladies gave a charm to the scene It would otherwise have lacked, the variegated plumage of feminine hats lending Itself admirably to the fine scheme of decoration which had been worked out in the adornment of the hall. Conspicuous among these decorations, hanging directly over the stage, was a huge banner on which was emblazoned the legend:

CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS FOR PRESIDENT U. 8. 1908.

This was visible and constant evidence of the feelings of the convention on that point, which was emphasized in no uncertain terms when, upon reference by the several speakers to the support which Indiana will give her “favorite son” tn the coming Chicago convention, the delegates broke Into storms of applause. The first refer* enoe to Vice President Fairbanks's name came at the peroration of Mr.

Overstreet's address and there was no Iha delegates, who' broke into a perfect tumult of applause which contln- ’ led for several moments. It was but a few minutes after 2 I’clock when State Chairtnan James P. Goodrich called the convention to order and introduced the Rev, Alfred 1. Waller of Crawfordsville, whose elotuent and singularly impressive invocation for a divine blessing upon the leliberatlons of the delegates and a prayer for divine guidance in the affairs of the convention was listened to amfd a hush quite unusual In a political gathering of this magnitude.' Chairman Goodrich then introduced the Hon. Jesse Overstreet, representative in congress from the Seventh Indiana district, as temporary chairman of the convention. Mr. Overstreet was greeted with warm applause as he arose to address his great audience. This applause was also unstinted throughout the course of his address, the many telling points of the admirable “keynote” speech being cheered with a spirit that showed that the speaker had his hearers with him. Mis reference to the importance of an early revision of the tariff produced a "hand” which showed Indiana Republicans were agreed with him on that point. This was further attested later when similar declarations on the part of the two senators were loudly applauded. Senator Beveridge Speaks. Upon the conclusion of the temporary chairman’s address, loud cries came from the delegates for Senator Beveridge, who was greeted with the favor which Js always accorded his presence in an Indiana audience, and whose eloquent address was frequently punctuated with the most enthusiastic applause. Particularly vigorous was the convention’s indorsement of the senior senator’s eulogy of President Roosevelt. His reference to the child labor question and declaration of the need of more stringent laws in that direction was applauded in a manner which proved the temper of Indiana Republicans on that point. "We are going to Chicago for Charles W. Fairbanks,” said Senator Beveridge. "He Is Indiana’s candidate for president, and we will stand by him, work for him, fight for him. There is no division in our ranks. Let the slander about factionalism in Indiana be rebuked. United and determined, let us rally arbund our candidate, giving to him not only our support, but all the strength and power that is In us. A long pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether for Charles W. Fairbanks, our candidate for the Republican nomination for president of the United States.”

An innovation in the way of convention entertainment was introduced at the close of Senator Beveridge’s address, when a quartet of young women from Huntington were introduced, the convention showing so demonstratively its appreciation of the rendition of “The Good Old Hoosier State" that the young ladies responded to an encore with “When AH the Democrats (Are Gone We’ll Try to Get Along Somehow,” which made a tremendous hit with the delegates. Senator Hemenway Speaks. Senator James A,. Hemenway was then introduced. When Mr. Hemenway declared that Indiana would carry the state next fall by a “Roosevelt majority” of 100,000, his audience demonstratively showed that it was in agreement with him on this estimate of coming party success. Senator Hemenway was accorded the closest attention as he presented his numerous sound business reasons for the continuation of Republican policies in the coming campaign. “There isno question that the people are overwhelmingly in favor of tariff revision," said Senator Hemenway. “In my own Judgment the tariff schedules must be revised. “I believe in doing things when we have power to do them, and it would be a great relief to the country to know that when the tariff schedules are revised, they will be revised by the party that believes in preserving our home markets to the American farmer and in protection to American labor.

“We know that today we have a majority In the house of representatives; we know that the senate of the United States is composed of a membership two-thirds of which is Republican; and we know that we have a great Republican president. “We know also that we shall have complete control of legislation from the day after election in November until March 4, 1908 —four months. “This is ample time to revise the tariff, while we know that we have absolute control, and I will earnestly urge that an extra session of congress be called immediately after the election for the purpose of revising the tariff.”

THE GOVERNOR CHEERED

Stirring Declaration on Temperance Question Arouses the Convention. Governor Hanly was then called for and he responded in a lengthy and careful review of the work of the Republican party in home affairs. The governor's defense of the present state administration against the attack made by the chairman of the recent Democratic state convention was given the moot studious attention. The governor based this defense upon figures from the official records, of which he declared there was no gainsaying, and his answer wae taken by the convention as a conclusive refutation of the charges brought In the recent Democratic "keynote." To the charge that the administration was "reeking with graft.” the governor challenged the

Minor or that statement to mm the man or men who were "grafting** la the statehouse, and promised that upon the establishment of such charges those guilty should be removed in thirty days. The governor’? assertions regarding the attitude of the recent convention upon the temperance question and his presentation of his views upon that subject were listened, to with almost breathless attention. The governor’s statement that the people of Indiana would be satisfied with no equivocation or backward step on this question wrs met by vehement cries of “Right!” and when he made his celebrated announcement In -favor of a county unit as the basis of a local option law, the convention literally rose at him. His wonderful peroration, when he made that terrific

TOMLINSON HALL.

arraignment of the liquor traffic created one of the most extraordinary scenes of demonstrative applause of an Individual utterance ever heard In that hall The temper of the convention toward this vital question was unmistakable, and a view of the earnest faces in that hall raised toward the speaker during this arraignment was a significant sight indeed. It was fully apparent that Indiana was ripe for an unmistakable declaration of principles on the question of the further 'regulation of the liquor traffic in this state.

Compliments to Mr. Miers. “In the course of his speech he cried •Let us open the books and turn the rascals out,’ ” said Governor Hanly, referring to the speech of the chairman of the recent Democratic conyention. ” ’Honesty and fair dealing’ required that he state the fact that the books of every state office are already open; that they within less than a year were inspected by a distinguished Democrat appointed by the present administration for that purpose; that daily settlements are now required to be made; that an executive accountant makes frequent and searching examination of every office; that interest on public funds has ceased to be the perquisite of these officers; that every paper, every book and every document was laid before a Democratic investigator, and he directed to find the truth and report it to the people. ’’ ’Honesty and fair dealing in politics’ required that he state the fact that rascals are already out; that there is this difference between Democratic and Republican administration: They continued their rascals in office until the end of their terms and permitted them to go with their plunder; we turned ours out, under whip and lash, and compelled them to make restitution of every dollar taken, and then went back and recovered thousands of dollars of the funds, or have suits pending to do so, which their rascals had taken. “In another sentence he declares: 'The state’s business is topsy-turvy with blunder and reeking with graft’ '* ‘Honesty and fair dealing in politics’ required that he furnish with this sweeping charge an itemized, statement, a bill of particulars; that he point out the blunders, put his finger on the graft and his hand on the guilty official. Unless he does this he must stand condemned in the forum of honest debate."

CHANEY FOR CHAIRMAN

Second District Congressman Tendered the Gavel. The committee on rules and permanent organization then reported. A minority report of this committee, recommending certain changes in the rules relating to the taking of ballots for nominations was adopted as to these amendments, and then the majority report was adopted. The adoption of this report made Hon. John C. Chaney, representative in congress from the Second Indiana district, permanent chairman, and Julian D. Hogate of Danville, secretary. In acceptnig the gavel Mr. Chaney made a brief address, which made a good impression upon the convention. “Our Democratic friends in Indiana,” said Mr. Chaney, “having put the Satan of intemperance behind them and having embraced old “Sumptuary” In truly new-convert fashion, were so afraid that the Republicans who have always been the true friends of temperance in our good state, would get a temperance plank which would shut them out of the kingdom, hurried up to have their convention first, so that they might beat the Republicans to heaven after all—and what have they done? They declare for “local option”; but thpy make the unit the "ward” In the city or town, and from Fort Wayne to French Lick people may remonstrate all they will, the saloons which have been banished will every one return to the cities and towns under thia proposed local option proposition. For local self-government on the liquor question, the local option performance does not compare with the law we now have; for under the existing law Indiana is going "dry” as surely as people keep their deters mlnatlon and their good sense. "A local option county unit will be much surer for the people, properly supplementing the laws which now exist.” At 5 o’clock the convention adjourned until 9 o'clock Tbursdav momloa.

I The ; Spirella Stay..:..

Spirella, the “Ideal Corset,” with its ventilated stays, is healthful, comfortable. It allows perfect freedom of movement and at the same time brings out the graceful and symmetrical curves of the figure which nature has given, and produces an elegance of style without detriment to the best physical developement. The Spirella Stay meets all requirements and embraces the Indispensable qualities which are lacking in all other corset boning. A ready made corset like ready made clothing may appear to be satisfactory when first put on, but wear soon developes the fact that it does not hold its shape and is not adapted to the figure. The Ideal cannot be found in ready made corsets and can only be produced by a combination of custom methods and the “Spirella Perfection Stay.” Merchants not as a rule appreciate the artistic side of corset selling. The conclusion is general that store corsets modeled after mechanical forms, cannot be adapted to' the purchaser’s figure. They lack individuality. Store styles are usually limited to three —slender, medium and stout. But three models to fit an infinite variety of human types. Necessarily but few are fitted. A phone call on 105 will bring Mrs. G. W. Goff to your home, where your measure can be taken privately, sent to the factory and have a corset made expressly for you, or you may call at my place of business. 5 MRS. G. W. GOFF.
