Another successful rehearsal was held by
the May Festival Chorus last evening, un-
der the baton of Director Van Der
Stucken.
The children's chorus rehearsed in the
afternoon at Masonic Hall, the boys and
girls who have been rehearsing every Sat-
urday morning coming together for the
first time to sing Into Life by Peter
Benoit which will be the main feature OF
the Saturday matinee concert. The boys
have been rehearsed under Mrs. Perle Will
kinson at High School Hall, and the girls
under Mr.. Ernestinoff at the Industrial
Training School. Mrs. kiser played for the
rehearsal yesterday. The children are GO
ing TO sing remarkably we'll and the can
tata by them will be one of the most pleas
ing parts OF the programme. The cantata
is a melodious composition, with words
appropriate TO the spring season. and with
difficulties enough to make IL Of decided in
terest to musicians. Not a moment was
wasted in the rehearsal and the children
soon became accustomed to the rapid work.
The parts were sung separately and in the
usual order for drilling chOruses. The Sat
urday rehearsals will continue for month
or more. and each Monday afternoon Mr..
Van Der Stucken will drill the children un-

IN INDIANA GUARDIANSHIP.
Gowdy's Successor to he Elected This
Afternoon at Meeting of the
State Committee.

The question of electing a new chairman
citing considerably more interest than was
anticipated and the Denison House lobby
filled last evening with prominent Re
publicans from various parts of the State
who had come to look on. L. p. Mitchell,
of New Castle. was the only member of the
committee that arrived yesterday, and, as
he was one of the doubtful members there
was some interest In finding out where he
stood. He expressed himself to two or
three of his friends favorable to McCul-
loeh's candidacy. but said he had not final
ly determined how he would vote. Senator
Self did not arrive and continues to show
the utmost indifference TO his candidacy
Mr.. McCulloch was on the ground early
yesterday, and on the same train came w
L. Durbin who is leading the movement
for Senator Self.
The written resignation Of Chairman Cow
dy is in the hands of Secretary Mansfield
and is so worded as to take effect when
his successor is elected The point was
raised yesterday that there was no va
cancy until his resignation is accepted and
when he arrives this morning he will be
asked to change the wording.
There was general qualification last even
ing at the large turnout as displaying
very general and lively interest in the well
fare of the party. The committee will
meet at the Denson House at 2 o'clock
this afternoon, and there is nothing for
IL to do further than to elect Il chairman
the meeting will be of short duration.

not care who is elected and Colonel Dick
says that whether Mr.. McCulloch is elected

administration defeat, for the simple reason
that the administration is not mixing in
one way or the other. A Republican will
be chosen, and that is enough
