STATE POLITICS.

Chairman Gowdy has received letter
from Hon. j. Irving Riddle, of Terre Haute.
in which he says: Owing to my inability
to make a satisfactory arrangement In my
business l have concluded not to allow my
name to go before the Republican conven-
ton for State Auditor. besides there are
few excellent gentlemen in this district who
are DESTROYS of becoming candidates. In
this connection permit me to add that
will heartily support not only the candl-
date for Auditor, but the entire ticket.
Hon. S. II. ElweI, auditor of Fountain
county, whose friends have been actively
urging him to become a candidate for State
Auditor, has determined not to let his
name come before the convention. Mr..
Elwelrs father recently died. leaving
large estate, with property considerably
scattered, his son was appointed executor
pretty fully for a month yet. Under the
circumstances he feels that he Is not Justi-
fed in giving up the time required In the
ever, that he will take off his coat and
hustle for whoever is nominated Tnis
leaves Mr. w, w: W; Hauk; the the, city
didate for Auditor for the Eighth DISTRICT
and he will probably get the districts solid
support In the convention.
Mr.. Albert H. Purdue, of Warrick coun-
~, returned yesterday from California,
where he has just concluded a post-gradu-
ate course III geology ana Will DeSln MS
ante-convention canvass for State Geolo-
gist. He is recommended In the strongest
terms by President Jordan and the whole
faculty of the Leland Stanford University
where he has been pursuing his studies
He Is clear-headed, active young man
and will doubtless make a good race
DR.. NJ. Elrod. of Hartsvile, has been
in the field for this nomination
for some time and has acquired a strong
following. Charles S. Beachler, of Craw-
louisville, has also been out for the nomi-
nation for about a month Prof W. s.
Blatchley and Dr. j. I. Scovell, both of
Terre Haute, have recently SHE'D their
castors into the ring as asprants for the
same nomination.
The State committee has applied to the
Central Traffic Association for a half-fare
rate from all points in Indiana to the State
convention and will probably succeed in
getting It, Unquestionably this will prove
the largest and most interesting political
convention ever held in Indiana 1t will
mates, that IS. there will be fourteen hun
dred and thirty people whose duty it will
be TO be here, and this is the year when
every one of them will come. Aside from
this there are about forty candidates for
State nominations, each of whom will bring
along with him anywhere from fifty to
two hundred friends to boom his candi-
dacy. Adding the people who will be at
tracted simply through political enthusiasm
much to say that the convention is likely to
attract eight or ten thousand people to the
city. 1t is likely that the CAPACITY of Tom
linSon Hall Will be fairly we'll tested.

For six months the wheels were idle, and

How they chew Ger this sweet morsel-
