The local Democratic organ. which Is
threatened with war of determination by
William Randolph Hearst assumes an at
titude of defiance toward the publisher
candidate for President, and in its issue OF
yesterday virtually ''dares'' him TO do his
worst The Sentinel takes up the visit of
s. s. Carvalho. of New York. who is here
to look the field over with a view OF estab-
| fishing Hearst paper in indianapolis. and
affects TO see nothing ominous in the new
form of the Hearst invasion. In the course
of an extended article the Sentinel OBJ
serves:
BY those, however, who are in a posi-
ton 10 know, ii is openly stated that the
| merely a bluff" that the presence of Mr..
| Carvalho in indianapolis is very cheap
way indeed In which to start some talk ana
| by those behind the scheme that this meth
| cd may strengthen the fealty of the few
| Weakened Hearst adherents in Indianapo-
| a Hearst organ will be established, and
that in short. the whole proposition is a.
myth, wholly without foundation and en-
tirely without fact or substance.
MIR. Carvalho, il is said, will return to
Washington, and as long as such a BLUM
will hold out, word will be sent In occa-
siona spasms to Indianapolis that Mr..
Hearst shortly will enter the field, but that,
in the end, neither an American, Journal
nor an Examiner will ever be pubnshed III
this city"
1t is altogether probable that the atti-
tude of the Sentinel will not make Hearst
any the less determined to establish new
Democratic organ here. Hearst has made
his bluff the Sentinel, which speaks for
Mr.. Taggart, has called and il is now up
to Hearst to make good" or throw his
hand in the deck.
Mr.. Carvalho was exceedingly busy yes
terday, inquiring into the advertising and
circulation prospects in Indianapolis. He
| asked for information concerning the popu-
lation of the territory that can be reached
from Indianapolis railroad facilities, etc,
| and seemed especially impressed with the
| advantages offered by the numerous inter
| urban lines that center in the city. He
| was closeted for some time with j. Oscar
Henderson, local manager of Hearsts po-
litical affairs, who is an old newspaper man,
and he also in conference with local
! publishers. He had further statement
to give out than that his preliminary survey
of the situation had impressed him much
more favoraby than he had anticipated.

no II cannot bring myself to think that an

against him. One of the complaints "
made against some of these men was tina
