Hanly to Assist in Campaign.

Although it was reported during the convention that Governor Hanly threatened- to bolt the ticket if certain men he favored were not nominated, it is now said by his close triends that he is very well satisfied over the situation and that he will take an active part in the campaign. The platform is said to be very pleasing to the governor. His followers are asserting that lie created the coun ty local option issue and left no loophole through which the Republican campaign managers could escape it, even if they had desired to do so. His friends say that, feeling the interest he does in the platform, the governor could do nothing else but support the ticket. Regardless of the amount of antagonism he has aroused, it is admitted—generally by politicians that the governor has a very large following, especially in the rural communities, and that there are few in Indiana more effective on the stump. , ‘ .
