With a statement to the effect the party proposed to fight national prepaiedness, state press gossips herald preliminary campaign work on the part of national socialists. Nominations for president, ice president, as well as national Fecretary and a national executive committee, are being made by locals over the country. Each local organization will make a nomination for each of the available plae.es, and each nominee who gets a nomination from 10 or more organizations may have his name placed on the referendum ballot, providing he accept.? the nomination within 15 days. Primary regulations adopted in many states seem to j;overn the referendum. After the first ballot Is taken, the two highest, if ne is to be elected, or one in excess where more than one is to be selected, are voted on a second ballot. Kokomo and Richmond aru the only locals thus far in the field with completed nominations. Marlon county socialists plan making nominations within two weeks. Kokomo nominated Charles E. Russell of NewYork for president and Adolph Gerncr of Illinois, vice president Richmond named Allen K. Benson of New York to head the ticket and William H. Henry of Indianapolis as his running mate. Indiana socialists have completed their nominations for state bificials of the party and ballots for each member to vote on are being sent out to the 160 organizations in the state. Marion county socialists plan opening permanent headquarters in Indianapolis the first of the year. Eugene V. Debs, Ryan Walker, Emil Seidel and Georgo R. Kirkpatrick are expected to return to the capital soon and to prepare for active campaigning, which state papers claim this year will be more productive than ever before. Sixteen men have been mentioned as candidates for president. That James F. Fry of Fort Wayne, deputy auditor of ntate, is in line for the democratic state chairmanship, is the statement of a special dispatch to the Fort Wayne News from the Hoosier capital. He is mentioned as the logicul successor of Bernard Korbly. W. H. Vollmer of Vincennc formerly state treasurer and second district chairman, is the man held for somo time as the next chairman, but according to tho Indianapolis dispatch. Fry is THE man. Perusing the Fort Wayne article, one finds: "There is no question but that somebody will take the place of Korbly. The leaders are sore on him because he has failed to show up at any of the big democratic rallies and meetings that have been held throughout the state. They say he is not paying the proper amount of attention to the duties of state chairman." A. J. Hickey of Laporte, republican candidate fcr congress two years ago, was a visitor in South Bend Monday night, but during his stay here mentioned very little concerning politics according to those who were with him

most of the evening. However, since the announcement that Hickey, in the words of a well known local republican, was itchin' " again, and that the north end politician considered himself the most available timber for the coming campaign, the republican love feast at Springbrook and its unearthing of a Gaylor boom is brought to mind. Mayor Gaylor said he had no designs on the congressional nomination! but he made this statement some little time prior to the love session. And at that, the Mishawaka man declared himself "willing to listen to hisfriends in the party.". Which is considered enough to assure his name on the primary ballot. A. E. Martin is also considered a republican congressional candidate at the primaries. Peter B. Miller of tho LaSalle Fruit Co., Iasalle av.. who ran against Swanson unsuccessfully two years ago. is said to be hot after the republican primary nomination for sheriff. Schuyler Robertson of Lakeville. at one time sheriff of St. Joseph county, and defeated again by I). R. J. Schafer, is also figured upon in some republican circles as willing to enter the race. O. A. Clarke, mentioned Tuesday as a possible candidate in the republican primaries for county treasurer, is strong in his declarations to the effect he will not under any circumstances enter the race. Edward Eisner of Seymour, who served as joint senator from Jackson. Washington and Brown counties, will seek renomination in the new district consisting of Clark, Scott and Jackson counties, to succeed Sen. Floyd Parks of Jeffersonville. who was the "daddy" of the senate last session. Jackson takes the place of Jennings county in this district. W. E. Wagner, who represented Clark county in the house a few years ago for two terms, may run for senator. Ed C. Hughes of Clark

county, spoken of for senator, will run

for representative.

That James E. Watson has threat

ened dire vengeance on the repub

lican Mate committee following a re

fusal to g3t behind his candidacy for

United States senator and that he is

still threatening has gone the rounds

of the Indiana press with varied com

ments. However, the consensus of

opinion seems to be that Jim won't

get very far in the fulfillment of his alleged mission and that his party is rather well satisfied with the roster of

its state organization.

The c. e. begs to inquire if Ignatius

Werwinskl intends to start hi? political boom with the cannon he presented the city some time ago. The question is passed on to Mr. Werwinskl. Commenting on the assertion of the Indianapolis Star to the effect Sen.

Boies Penrose of Pennsylvania would be a candidate for president, the LoKur.sport Pharos-Reporter says: "There Is something for republicans to think about. Perhaps they will be able to decide whether his proceeding Is an exhibition of colossal nerve or whether he is actually so stupid and so lacking in an understanding of condition? and widespread sentiment as to Relieve that the oters of the country would be willing to place him in the highest orüce. "Boies Penrose stands for all that was sinister and retrogressive and objectionable in the old republican party. He typified then, and typifies now, all the worst elements of hi? party the elements and actions against which 4,000.000 voters rose in protest threo years ago. Some of the old leaders have shown signs of a change of heart, but not Penrose. There are no fruits meet for repentance in his corner of the vineyard. However, Penrose is only a candidate, i
