Where are the other candidates for Gov
ernor and lieutenant GOVERNOR" This is
a question that Republicans are asking
themselves and each other. Twelve months
before the real campaign there are usual
ly a dozen men who are being groomed for
each race, and when the convention comes
around there is never less than six candi-
dates for each of these offices at the Open
ing of the fight, but this year there are but
three sure candidates for Governor, with
two possibilities, and but one candidate
three possibilities. shideler of Marion, Gil
bert of Fort Wayne. and Taylor of Indian
apolis, are already in the field for first
place, although all of them have not formal
Frank Hanly Of Lafayette and u. b. Hunt
of Winchester are considering the adyisa-
bility of becoming candidates. l.. p. Newly,
of knightstown, is an assured candidate
for lieutenant governor, while Ball OF
Muncie, Statesman of Peru, and Goodwine
of W~illiamsport are figured on as possible
starters. Three years ago the names OF
six candidates for each office went before
the convention. A few more booms should
certainly be aunched to add to the inter-
est of the preliminary struggle.

Mr.. Goodrich visited the new State head

George w. Williams. of Knightstown, for
mer state representative, came to Indian
apolis last night to attend a wedding and
wound up at q prayer meeting. AS a mat.
ter of fact, he didn't fail altogether to get
in touch with the affair Of hymen, but he
came so near missing 1t entirely that there
is little fun in it for him, and he passed ar
anxious hour and a half. Mr.. Williams's
niece, Miss Leora Barrett, was married las,
night at the Central-avenue Methodist
Church. and he was expected as one of the
time, went to the Denis0n and made his
preparations leisurely SO that he might gei
to the church at the hour of s. When he
was ready to start he awoke suddenly &c
the realization that he was not exactly sure
what church he was booked for. He hadn't
time to do much specializing, and decided
that 1t was the Meridian-street NJ. Z

prayer meeting of the congregation anc
that there was no wedding In prospect.
Then his troubles really began. He real

his statement was taken with some aualif.

he did not find the wedding, but shortly
