Senator Kittinger's Bad Luck i'm Eff
fort to See the Governor.
Hello, is the Governor in?''
Eyes, he's min bed at his home in An
derson, about half sick and trying to get
little rest"
Senator w. A. Kittinger, of Anderson,
asked the question, and Secretary Lock-
wood answered it yesterday afternoon at
the Statehouse.
Nov wouldn't that jar your" said the
cident. Here / took half day off to run
down from Anderson to see the Governor
only to find that he is at his home in
Anderson. / wonder if / will ever learn
that there is such thing as a tele-
phone?"
The senator said other things in his
characteristic, picturesque vein most of
which, however, were too fervent to men,
ton. 1T all comes from having these
DANCED convenient interurban cars" he
concluded. IF 1 had been coming down
If the Governor was here, but there was
the car right in front of my Office and
rushed out and got on to come down here
without thinking about using the tele-
phone first
Senator Kittinger was asked to verify
the report that he will make the race for
Congress next year against Representa-
tive Cromer of the Eighth district
"Oh, I'm too poor to run for Congress"
he replied I'll have TO spend another
term in the Legislature before 1 can af-
ford that. Still, l don't know just what
I'll do. L think I'd stand fair chance of
landing the nomination If 1 went into the
race

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANlNGS
HARRY l.. KRAMER Is AN ENTHUSI-
AsTIC AUTOMOBILIsT.
Attended Anderson Encampment i'm
His Touring Car-Visitors at the
Local Hotels.

Harry L. Kramer, of Indiana Mineral
Springs Hotel, is one of the greatest auto
mobile enthusiasts of the State. He has
been interested in horseless locomotion for
some time. taking it up first as diversion,
but he has reached a point now where his
friends say that he is vertable fiend
'tuff-tuff" and that he prefers the auto to
a limited express train on any journey
short of five hundred miles.
However that may be, Mr.. Kramer thinks
well of his auto, and he was in the city
last night en- route home from somewhat
extended trip which he made overland. Mr..
Kramer is a member of the Governors
staff and he was in attendance at the G. A.
r. encampment at Anderson Wednesday,
but instead of making the trip via railroad
or fnterurban he drove over in his Winton
with Mrs. Kramer. On the return trip he
took F. T. Roots and w. G.. Irwin, two of
the members of the Governors party, to
Connersville, Mr.. Roots's home, and yes
terday afternoon he brought Mr.. and Mrs.
Roots over to Indianapolis.
1--WE had a pleasant trip this afternoon"
said Mr. Kramer last evening at the Deni-
son. where the party is stopping. 1--WE left
Connersville at o'clock and made the run
in about four hours and half, which isn't
at all bad. considering the condition of the
roads. My machine can be run at a maxi
mum speed of forty miles an hour on
good road, but don't care to go at that
clip. / have found that thirty miles an
hour Is fast enough to satisfy my inclina-
ton TO scorch, and / want to be sure that
the road is first-class before 1 attempt that
speed. "A mile In two minutes In a car of
the size OF my Winton Is going some, and
the chances Of an accident are just enough
to lend all the excitement to the sport that
/ have any desire to experience.
''Yes, l enjoyed the visit in Anderson
very much" continued Mr.. Kramer, in an
swer to a question on that point. The
citizens of Anderson certainly handled the
encampment in fine shape, and they made
ii very pleasant for all their visitors"
