To the Editor of the Tndianapolis Journal:
/ have been a constant reader of the Journal
and every other coed paper that Icould obtain
for more than o half century. | see q great
deal said about whom we ought TO have for Pres
ident MY opinion is. that Ben Harrison will
command more votes than any other man in
the State of Indiana. John Sherman, of Ohio,
is a number one man and viii undoubtedly be
the choice of Ohio, and as it is necessary for US
to carry Indiana. according to my-gjudgment.
Ben Harrison would be more likely to carry
Indiana than any other man we could run, and
would be as likely to carry New York as any
man. l have been acquainted with him ever
since be has been in the county. and great
part of the time have been intimate with him.
and have always found him to be very pleasant,
agreeable and sociable.
Give US Ben Harrison for President and Al
bert g. Porter for Governor and VIII be
sure to carry Indiana any other human
event. These two men have known Tong and
well. have been in Indiana since 1928 and
have known them since they were boys. and
find them to be agreeable. pleasant gentlemen,
and every man that gets intimately ac-
quainted with them / an will love them as
dearly as do
Now, Mr.. Editor, If you think these senti-
ments. that come from an old man now in his
eiRhty-third year, and who has lived and fabured
for his country, worth publishing you may
use them: il not. throw them to one side.
