MEETING OF STATE COMMITTEE.
for the Appearance Of Sen
ator Hanna i'm Indiana.

atoE III
Chairman Goodrich, Of the Republican
State committee, arrived in town from Win
chester last night and will be here until
after the meeting Of the State committee
tomorrow and the conference of candi-
dates on Thursday. The meeting Of the
will be held tomorrow after
noon. 1t is expected that all of the men,
bers will either be present In person or
will be represented by some one from their
districts. This meeting is looked upon as
an important one, as most Of the final ar
engagements for the campaign will be dis
cussed. There will probably be but one
other meeting of the committee before cleo
ton. Chairman Goodrich kinks that a
fairly ineligible report of the sixty-day
poll can be had tomorrow.
The conference of candidates VIII take
place at committee headquarters on Thurs
day morning. At this conference the candi-
Gates Will compare notes, as many OF them
nave been over a considerable portion OF
the State. The plan Of work for the diff
ferent candidates will be agreed on at this
meeting. 1t is the understanding that r.
A. Brown, candidate for clerk OF the Su-
preme and Appellate courts; Charles w.
Miller. candidate for attorney general, and
Daniel E. Storms, candidate for secretary
or State, will be the principal orators
among the State candidates this fall.
The State committee has assurance that
Senator Hanna will make some speeches in
Indiana In October, perhaps about the mid
die OF the month. AS soon as the Senator
returns from his trip East he will decide
when he can come to Indiana. 1t has been
suggested that the Republican managers
speak in Tomlinson Hall, in this city, the
Saturday night before the election. but
this arrangement probably will not be car
Der he would hardly be able to return for
another speech in November. The prob
lem that is now confronting the committee
Is how to give the greatest number OF peo-
pie an opportunity of seeing and hearing
the Ohio statesman. Senator Hanna insists
that he can only spare a day and night In
ldiana. 1t was the original intention or the
committee to have him In this state 1or
two or three'days az least. Had the SEN
ator thought 1t was possible to devote this
much time to Indiana, the committee would
probably have arranged for a special train,
and by this means he could have travelled
over the greater part Of the State. From
the requests that have come TO the state
committee from different parts of the State
clamoring for a speech from the senator
there is no doubt of his popularity In lnd1-
ana. 1t Is probably that arrangements Will
be made for Senator Hanna to speak In at
least three Indiana cities. He has alredy
promised Governor Durbin that he will
speak at Anderson, and 1t seems to be un-
derstood that he will go to Portland. Two
years ago the Portland Republicans sent a
committee to Chicago to urge Senator Han
ma to come to Portland during the cam
paign. He informed the committee that
If he did not visit Portland then he would
pay the town a visit in two years. He did
not go there then, and the people are ex-
pecting him to keep his promise this year.
The suggestion is made that the senator
wind up his days WORK in Indiana by max
ing a speech at night In this city. 1t is
possible that the committee may decide
to take the senator for a days trip over
the State in a special train, and If this
is done a large number of towns can be WIS.,
tied.
