St. Joseph county republicans are scouting about and counting the noses of those who will be able next week to attend the state convention of the g. o. p. at Indianapolis. The convention will open Wednesday, April Z, and hold over the sixth, according to stipulations in the call. Exciting times are promised, and especially the Watson, adherents hereabouts are anxious to go well represented. Two or three of those elected delegates at the recent primary have declared openly that they will not be able to attend for business and for personal reasons. The personal reasons are guessed at. That John I... Rupe of Richmond may appear before the convention as a candidate for the short term as United States senator, is the gossip heard about the southern part of the state. The work of forces Interested in Harry Stuart New t-eema to be to find enough a-spirants to defeat Jim Watson's desires in the matter. It was thought that the opening afforded throughthe death of Sn. B. I Shively would clarify the muddled waters of the g. o. p. Indiana strm, but it seems to have far from rved that end. "Rupe." says a state story, "is one of the mo-t widely known lawyers of Indiana and for 4 0 years has been an active member of th Wayne county bar. He has been active always in republican politics, but beyond serving Richmond as mayor has never been a candidate for public oifice. It is said the Wayne county delegation will present his name to the convention." The first issue of the Giry Republican, a weekly, has mad its appearance. It is edited by Dr. Frank Smith, former 10th district chairman. Ir. Smith assails Gary steel corporation officials who mix in politic. Julius Friedman, who hopes to go before the republican state convention with a successful contest for the nomination for lieutenant governor, is the spasmodic newspaper publisher. Friedman has a weekly in last Chicago; that is. it appears once a week unless politics is In the air. Then, at the opening of th campaign, it appears twice a week, increasing first to three times a week, and then to a daily at the height of the contest Duiing the 11th hour of endeavor Friedman's phper is apt to appear every hour or so. He says it's fun but expensive. Charle A. Towne. former I. S. senator from Minnesota, announces ho will entf-r the primaries in New York for the democratic nomination to succeed en. James A. O'Gorman. Towne, after serving as a reprcienutiw in congress from Duluth,

from 1895 to 1 897 was appointed by Gov. Und in 1900 to serve two months of an unexpired term in the senate. In 1901 he commenced the practice of law in New York and in 1904 was elected to congress from that city. Recently he has been supporting Pres't Wilson's preparedness program in speeches over the country. A recent issue of the New Republic carries an interesting account of that political "convention" in New Yoik, at which Elihu Root delivered hia scathing denouncement of evervthing democratic from the name to each distinctive policy of that party. It is to the effect Root appeared as a spokesman for William Barnes, instructed to hit upon everything asd everyone but Theodore Roosevelt. But Root slipped, and Roosevelt's name was mentioned and that was the one time during the convention that any enthusiasm was forthcoming from the rank and file, of delegates and the galleries. Of coulee, Root roused the ire of William, and he tried to make amends, but history has it that with all his repertoire, that reference to Theodore was the only enthusiasm g-etter which the delegations proper would countenance.

Baseball started at the high school yesterday afternoon when the diamond lads took their first outdoor work on the high school lot at Washington and Franklin sts. The workout was disastrous from the thefts of abut half a dozen new balls and because of the batting prowess of Capt. "Johnny" Sousley. Sousley on two different ocea-sion at bat drove the ball through windows, once through a high schoo' window and the other through a residence window on Franklin st. "Chief" Zilky, the cleanup batter of last year's five, failed to r-port, being laid up with "pink eye." The opening of the season is scheduled for a week from Saturday with .Misiuwaka in this city. The grounds available f;r that date has not been decided as yet by Coach Metzler because Xotre Dame has a home date April 14 and he will bo unable to obtain Cartier field.
