One of the distinguished visitors
here today was Colonel Dick" Bright
of Washington, formerly sergeant-at-
arms of the United State; senate. Col.
Dick owned and edited the Indianap-
oils Sentinel from 1868 to 1872. He
disposed of it then to a syndicate.
In 1879 he went to Washington and
since then has been there most of the
time. He says, however, that he still
claims a right to vote in Indiana and
expects to for another hundred years.
His hair is now as white as snow, but
he looks robust and is in fine health
and spirits. He said that he had no
idea who will be nominated by the
Democrats for president.
It was rumored here last evening
that State Senator James S. Barcus of
Terre Haute is about to become a can
didate for the Republican nomination
for congress in the Fifth district. He
was here during the state convention,
when it is said he conferred with party
workers from all sections of the dis
| trict. The two candidates in the race
y,
Otis E. Gulley, Danville 1t is said
that neither has enough votes to win,
so Barcus hopes to be the compromise
candidate.
It was stated here last night by :"
prominent Republican leader that Siu-
ney Cantwell of Hartford City will an
nounce himself as a candidate for
speaker as soon as he is renOminated
| by his district. He was here during
| the state convention, and it Is said
| that he was laying his fences then by
making as many alliances as possible
with the various candidates. He was
one of the influential members last
session, and it is conceded that he will
be q strong candidate.

NOT MUCH REST
For lndiana's Noted Senators During
Their Long Vacation.

Indianapolis, April 80. - Senators
Fairbanks and Beveridge are settling
down here for the long vacation. How
ever, it will not be SO much of vaca-
ton for them, as they have a great
amour. of public business every day
and both will be very active through
out the campaign. Senator Beveridge
is now declining many invitations to
make speeches. With the exception of
a brief trip or two it is not likely that
he will be out of the state much until
after election day. Senator Fairbanks
expects to divide his time between his
home here and his big Illinois farm.
When he returned here Monday he
found that one of his Office rooms had
been rented to dentist. He has been
compelled to get new quarters, but he
has not left the building, where he
was located for many years before he
became a great factor in Indiana poll
tics.

Daniel w. Simms, Mr. Hanly's former
law partner, will deliver the address
of welcome. He is a Democrat and
has been prominently mentioned as a
prospective candidate for governor, SO

IS HARD TO AVOID
CONFUSION OF NAMES

Due TO the large number of oil and gas
companies recently incorporated by the sec
rotary of state, requests have come to his
office asking if there were a ruling to SUBJ
nit several names of the company which
it is desired TO incorporate. TO safeguard a
repetition. No such ruling has ever been
established at the Office, but frequently the
incorporators, understanding conditions,
have submitted several names.
Deputy Secretary of State Frank 1.
Grubbs. in discussing the matter yesterday.
said: "A better plan than either would
be for the intending incorporators to in
form this office of the intended name,
prior to incorporation. thus saving much
trouble on their part in case of substitu-
ton being necessary"
