SLOGAN OF "HITZ OR Ill.,
SUGGESTION MADE TO PROHIBITION
lists BY f. T. M'WHIRTER.
Preachers Criticised for Alleged Luke
warmness in the Local Battle
Of Temperance.

A ratification meeting to ratify the Pro-
hibition ticket was held last night in the
Alliance Hall and a number of candidates
and leaders in the party spoke. George
Hitz, nominee for mayor made q short
talk, this being his first address before the
Prohibitionists since the nomination. He
expressed himself as being very hopeful of
the outcome this fall and caused much en-
thusiasm. the "amens" of the evening be-
ing a feature. B. f. Watson, who is run
ming for police judge, was the next speak
er. Following him the candidate for clerk
William H. Tice. spoke.
Charles S. Rhoades, candidate for coun-
Gilman at large. made speech in which
he said that the members of the Prohibi-
ton Council, when elected, would have
something better TO do in the evenings than
attend sprinkling Investigations. During
the course of the evening there was ex-
pressed a feeling that the ministerial ele-
ment of the city had not conducted itself
properly in regard to the fight for prohibit
ton. In other words IL was said the
preachers were lukeworm In their support
of the ticket. Thomas r. Lewis. who is a
candidate for councilman at large, aroused
much enthusiasm by strongly denouncing
the pulpit for not being more aggressive
in behalf of the fight against the liquor
traffic. IF the preachers don't help US in
this campaign I fear all the souls in their
churches will shrivel I'D and go TO he'll
were the words of the speaker. This senti-
ment was popular and number of those
who followed also mentioned the alleged
ministerial negligence. c. E. Newln,
chairman of the Prohibition State commit
tee suggested in his talk that they not
rub IL in on Eli Ritter and Rev. Frank
o. Ballard and "such fellows but ask
them to join in the fight for clean govern
ment.
f. T. McWhirter talked for the support
of the ticket. He said: II felt like get
every preacher in the city TO read" Rev.
A. l.. Orcutt was in favor of being con-
sentative. Rev. E. w. Lawson spoke of
the prospects for election and of his ex-
perience as a preacher in being converted
to voting the Prohibition ticket
A successor to William A. Moore, who re-
signed from the ticket as candidate for the
Council, has not beens chosen but will be
announced later by the committee.

Aug. p, 1862, in the Eighteenth Maine
Infantry, afterward known as the First
Maine Heavy Artillery, was promoted to
major Sept II, 1864 and to lieutenant
colonel Jan. 16, 1866. His regiment served
continuously in the Army of the Potomac
and lost more men proportionately than any
other in the Union army. For distinguished
services he received the brevet of colonel
of volunteers March %, 1866. He was mus
tered out at the close of the war. Colonel
Smith was severely wounded In action.
In Massachusetts,, Kansas and Indiana,
where his newspaper career was spent, he
was prominent in Grand Army and Loyal
Legion circles. He had been a member of
the Massachusetts,, Kansas, Missouri and
Indiana communicates of the Loyal Legion,
and in Indianapolis was several times elect
ed to the Office of recorder of the Indiana
Commandery. At all c.. A. r. and Loyal
Legion affairs Colonel Smith was always
prominent figure, and few among the old
veterans had many friends were so
thoroughly loved and respected as he.
His services in the field of newspaper
work have been as long, as honorable and
as distinguished as his career on the bat
tie ground. During the eighties he was an
editorial writer on the Boston Journal.
Later he removed to Kansas. and still
later to Missouri where he was a member
of the editorial stats of large papers. He
came to Indianapolis about thirteen years
ago and became an editorial writer on the
Journal, in which capacity he became
widely known in the State and elsewhere.

FIT. Wayne Republicans for Gilbert for

1.-THE Republicans of Fort Wayne and

Charles r. Lane. editor OF the Fort Wayne
News, who was In the city last night be-

nous, believe. OF course the support of
Gilbert Is conditional upon his being
candidate. The Lieutenant Governor has
not yet announced his candidacy, but IL Is
the general understanding that he will be
in the race, and he will have the loyal and
enthusiastic backing of his district
II have heard little or no talk of opposi-
ton TO Senator Beveridge-none, in fact. in
which / place any credence-and / believe
State is that he has earned the indorse-
ment of reelection without opposition. In

citizen may well be proud. and they should

word, Judge r. s. Taylor of our city cell

ENDORSEMENT OF ROOSEVELT.
j. c. Ochiltree, of Dayton, o., Talks OF
the situation in that State.

the situation I'm that State.
]. C. Ochiltree, of Dayton. former Indi-
ana newspaper man, was guest at the
Spencer House yesterday. Mr.. Ochiltree is
a native Hoosier and was for several years
identified with the Marion Chronicle. He
is at present editor of the Dayton Press.
AS an Ohioan Mr.. Ochiltree Is deeply In
that has arisen over the proposition that
President Roosevelt will be Endorsed for
reelection at the Ohio Republican state
convention next month. He believes that
the resolution will be offered to the con-
vention and that a lively contest will re-
suit.
Ohio favor the adoption of such a resolu-
tion," said Mr.. Ochiltree. This was shown
by the replies sent in by the editors at the
request of a Toledo paper. l was one OF
those who answered In the affirmative TO
the question whether the convention could
with proprietary indorse President Roose-
welt for reelection.
1.-The fight is really one between Senator
Foraker and Senator Hanna, am inclined
to believe, although there is a feeling in
Ohio that the latter has something up his
sleeve and that Ii is not unlikely that he
himself may become a presidential candi-
date. The Foraker forces are insistent and
indicate that they will fight for the resolu-
ton. while Hanna's disapproval of the
proposition Is none the less emphatic. Ohio
Republicans are inclined to be independent,
and II the personal relations between the
two senators do not improve they may re-
iect the wishes of both. II is a very COM
plicated and interesting situation, and be-
heve that the eyes Of the country will be
turned toward ONO during the next thirty
days.

last evening. land it will be pushed harder
than ever. The people of Oklahoma, Ari-
Zona and New Mexico are not inclined TO
accept the compromise by which the dead
lock In the Senate was broken this last
winter. and they are preparing TO make a
vigorous fight for statehood. Delegate
Rody. of New Mexico. told me that IL was
the plan of the politicians to have the
statehood bill made No. ] in each branch
this winter and TO make an aggressive fight
from the very opening of the session"
