Firm Friends In Indiana.
indianapolis, June 27-George B.
Cortelyou, the new chairman Of the
stopped over here to attend the recep-
ton In honor Of Senator Fairbanks,
made an excellent impression with the
party leaders he met. They were in
clined to hold critical opinion regard
ing him, owing to the strenuous OBJ
lection made by a number OF promi-
nent party men to him, but most of
the leaders here are about ready to
predict that President Roosevelt was
wise in naming him. Cortelyou made
careful inquiries regarding the politi-
cal situation in Indiana, and seemed
very well pleased with the outlook.
He was especially we'll pleased with
the prospect of the Republicans here
being able to put up stiff campaign
without much outside assistance. He
met J. Frank Hanly, the nominee for
governor at Lafayette, and privately
expressed the opinion that Hanly viii
make 4 very strong candidate. He
has a high opinion Of Senator Bever-
idge and between Beveridge and Han
ly he thinks there will be stirring
campaign from the stump. He also
expressed the belief that Senator Fair
banks will make very strong candi-
date for the vice presidency.
Many of the Republicans from this
state who attended the national con-
vention at Chicago last week were
dealing in futures, SO to speak. For
instance John Dryer of Hammond an
nounced that he will be a candidate
for the nomination for state treasur-
er two years hence. He made the
race two years ago and was a strong
factor He hopes to prove a winner
next time. 1t was rumOred during the
convention that Frank Martin will
make another race for the nomination
for auditor of state. He seems to be
growing more popular and will prob
ably be a very formidable candidate.
J. r. Henry, who was also an inter-
ested spectator during the convention,
will be candidate for the nomination
for auditor Two other gentlemen who
attended the convention intimated that
they will be candidates for auditor, but
they will not permit the use of their
names at this time. 1t is safe to
predict, however, that the campaign
of 1906 will be opening up long before
the present campaign closes.
There were a number of struggling
arrivals today for the Prohibitionists'
national convention which begins here
Wednesday. 1t promises to almost
equal the Republican convention at
Chicago in point of numbers. There
will be more delegates here than there
were at Chicago. A special train will
arrive here tomorrow with the New
York delegation. Pennsylvania and
two or three other Eastern states will
come Wednesday in special trains
The bulk of the crowd. however, will
be furnished by Indiana and Illinois
because of their location and their
large prohibition vote. Elaborate ar
rangements have been made to take
care Of the crowd and there will be
several meetings going on at the same
time. There is lot of talk about
General Nelson Miles for the nonina
ton for president, and it would not be
surprising if he should be named. The
Prohibition leaders will get together
here and make arrangements for their
plan of campaign, which promises to
be more thorough than ever.
