Paramount News: The constant assertion by
those interested in Judge Gresham's presidential
candidacy that only tho machine is for HARRISON
in Indiana does gross injustice TO the Republic
ans of the State.

the Republican success in November. Gen.
Ben Harrison can carry indiana, and every
other State that can be carried by any other
candidate talked Of.
Columbia City Commercial: In order to win
beyond a question Of doubt the Republicans
must secure the electoral vote of Indiana in
November. The nomination OF General Har-
rison for President will insure the fifteen elect
oral votes for the Republican nominees.
Kokomo Gazette Tribune: The organization
OF the Harrison Home Club will undoubtedly
promote the candidacy of General Harrison and
so win for the Republican masses of Indiana In
the Chicago convention an Intelligent expression
of their united preference for the nomination OF
Indiana's illustrious son.

the ticket she would roll up such q majority as
would astonish the world.
Plymouth Republican,: IF a stron &, clean
man and a man known everywhere as a true Re-
publican 10 needed to carry the doubtful States,
the Chicago convention need not look no further
than General Harrison; but If, as the Chicago
papers would have us believe. 1t is necessary to
nominate a man who is known neither as q
Democrat nor q Republican, Harrison is not
the man.
Richmond Palladium: Judge Gresham is a
good Republican, and would make . good Presi-
dent. but it Is the hardest work possible to
create a boom in his favor. If one half the
work done by the Chicago papers In booming
Gresham WAS bestowed on Harrison, or Sher-
man. or, Allison. it would create a boom Of
magnificent dimensions; but Gresham is only
as yet the favorite son OF Chicago and its de-

suggestions concerning candidates Is an exhibi.
ton of unselAshness and disinterestedness that
is rarely manifested by q Democratic newspaper.
Warsaw Times: In instructing their delegates
for General Gresham, the Illinois Republicans
have said 10 those of this State that they are
not aware of what they want themselves, or
know what is best for them. The Republican,
Senator Harrison as the Republican NOMINEES
they can take Indiana out from among tbs
"doubtful' States, and with Gresham it would
be only all the more doubtful.

record that is unspotted-w with principles that
are essential to the country's welfare, and with
abilities that make him the peer of any man In
public life, Indiana may we'll be proud of him.
Winamac Republican: What the Republicans
of the Nation must do in the Chicago convention
is to nominate the best man in all this broad
country for the first place on the ticket. The

cratic newspapers Of the country support him
with the ardor they are now urging his nomina-

He is the only man the Democratic party has to
fear, they say. and every last one OF them is
doing everything possible to bring about his

Evansville Journals: General Harrison well
