and this is regarded as a factor IN his IA
vor. He withdrew from the contest at ST:
Paul IN the interests OF the candidacy OF
indianapolis for the Head Camp this year.
and G. +. Remy, who was at the head or
the committee sent to st. Paul by the COM
mereial Club to secure the convention for
indianapolis. says it was largely due TO Mr..
Otto's withdrawal and the combination
that were effected as a result that the COM
mittee was successful in the face of the
vigorous fight that was put up for Grand
Rapids, Mich. The position OF director Is
regarded as a very desirable one, as IL car
ries a salary of 5000.
Mr.. Otto is not the only candidate the
Indiana Woodmen will present at the COM
ing Head Camp. George NJ. Snyder. of No
blesville, aspires to the position of head

G. E. Newlin says that the summer time
Is not the most propitious for the promul-
CATION of prohibition principles, but
whether it is because that is the sea-
son when a man can raise a thirst
too readily he did not state. At any
rate, Mr.. Newlin ought to know what he
is talking about, for he is chairman of the
Prohibition state committee, and since the
LIST of February has been touring the State
in the interests Of the organization. He
has visited Sixty-ive counties in that time,
recognizing the county forces In each one,
and he says his work has brought about
very gratifying results. However, as the
warmer weather has come on he has found
that the people are not disposed to take the
interest in political work they displayed in
the winter and early spring. and after this
week he will discontinue his plan of visit
ing four counties every week. Tomorrow
he will be at Wabash, Wednesday at Win
amaze. Thursday at Brookston, and Friday
at Flora. He will hold afternoon and night
meetings in each place.
