Would Deny Governor Income from Lectures.

Senator Will Wood, of Lafayette, Governor Hanly's former law partner, has a bill which be Intends to introduce at the speeial session of the legislature if the opportunity ar- - rives. Senator Wood’s bill is considered a direct shot at Governor Hanly. It provides that It shall be unlawful for the Governor of the State of Indiana to deliver any lecture or public addresses anywhere for compensation during his term of office. It provides also that for the first offense a fine of from SIOO to SSOO shall be assessed upon conviction. For a second conviction a fine of not more than SI,OOO is provided. ' It will be remembered that Governor Hanly and Senator Wood fought one another bitterly at the session of the legislature in 1907, and the , senator from the floor of the Upper House, denounced the Governor hotly for vetoing a measure introduced by Senator Wood, because as Wood'said, ( he (Wood) would not support the Governor’s insurance program. “I am decidedly ■ opposed,” said Senator Wood yesterday, in referring to his bill, “to making the Governor’s office in this state an advertisement for a Lyceum bureau.’’
