Washing ton. Dec. 26.-The candidacy
of Representative Hemenway for the gov
ernorshlp of Indiana is a. move against
Senator Beveridge. A few days before
congress adjourned for the holidays, Mr.
Hemenway made an authorized state
ment to the correspondent of the Indian
apolis News that he would be candi-
date in 1904 for, the republican guberna-
torlal nomination. Last Sunday morning
after reaching home, he published an in
tervleW in one OF the Evansville newsps-
pers in which he apparently undertook to

Z In: Washington the Hemenway an
nouncement is regarded as a shrewd
move on the part CT Senator Fairbanks to
cause trouble for, his . colleague The
Evansville interview. it is also regarded
here. is the result of an effort of the Bey-
eridge forces at checkmate. &s
The Indiana governor is elected for four
years and should Mr.. Hemenway be his
party nominee i'm 1904 and be elected he
would be 1naugurated on or about JAN
TO- 1905, and ten days later, the legisla-
ture would elect Senator Beveridgess sue
cessor. 1t was part OF the plan that
Hemenway, if elected governor, should be
a candidate against Beveridgesf for the SEN

governor two years in advance, and in
sisted that the representa- es Of the
party At home should themselves select
state candidates.. Fat the proper time and
IN the proper manner. This sort of state
ment always appeals forcefully to the

Hemenway reached Evansville for the
holidays he found that his Washington
announcement had apparently fallen upon
unwilling ears. He therefore qualified it
by saying that he was a very busy man in
Washington, that the 1904 campaign was
a long distance in the future and that he
was not sure that he would be able to
make the canvass for the nomination. or
accept the ;position,if rendered him.
Senator Peveridge thus appears to have
upset the plans Of the Fairbanks men, for
the present. k# - #
