Landis for Governor.


In view OF the fact that the Lands
family is to have double representa-
tfon in the next Congress, and for other
reasons, also, there Is a strong posi-
bi}ity that one of the brothers Lands
may be called to represent the family

Charles Beary Lands is said 20 be

Former Archduke's Testimony.

But it is only now through former

According to Leopold. his uncle John

his fayorite brother. the Arehduke Louis,
who spends the greater portion Of the
year on the vast domain which he owns

A Family Trait.


If Charlie" Lands really wants to be
governor, and thinks he can safely trust
the interests of the Lands family to hia
younger brother. the Hon Frederick J.
Lands, who comes TO Congress next ses-
sion in place of Major George Washing
ton Steele. there isn't much doubt but
that he can have 1t for a little hustIing
characteristics. II anyone doubts that
the Hon. Charles Beary Lands is a hus-
tier. he has only to consult his personal
friend and political enemy, the Hon.
Champ Clark. who has had several hus-
Ting encounters with the Hon Charlea
Beary Lands. AS matter of fact there
may be a little friendly Jealousy be-
tween the brothers Landii for If the
Hon. Frederick J. lands fuIflls the pre-
dictions which have been made concern
ing him. he will eclipse the br. liant rec
ord made by his brother in Congress. He
started in well by winning his nomina-
ton from such tried old veteran as the
Hon. George Washington Steele. who has
had the experience of ten or a dozen
hard fought campaigns. and this has al
ready given him much prestige How
ever. whatever may inspire the guber-
Material ambition in the breast of
Charlie" Lands. he is certainly ~
strong a candidate as the HoosieT Re
publicans could name. and as there is
plenty Of time between now and the NOM
mating convention, he will have ample
opportunity to determine whether or no.
he prefers to be the chief executive OF
Indiana or remain indefinitely in Con-
gress.
