Indianapolis, July 30.-Chairman G.
c., Lyons OF the speakers bureau OF
the Republican state committee said
today that this will he the greatest
speech-making campaign Indiana has
had for many years He has just re-
ceived letter from Senator Bever-
idge, who is rusticating in the Maine
woods, stating that Senators Clapp OF
Wisconsin, Nelson of Minnesota, ALE.
son and Dolliver Of iowa, and Lodge
Of Massachusetts. have accepted his
invitation to cone to Indiana for q
number of speeches. Their itinerary
will be arranged by Chairman Lyons
later on. Senator Allison, at his own
request, will be assigned for speach
at South Bend. He writes that he
formerly knew the Studebakers there
long before they established their
mammoth factories, and that he feels
he can say something there about pro-
gross and prosperity. None of the
speakers mentioned here are coming
until October. Chairman Lyons said
i ,
governor is billed for speech nearly
every day III August, although the
campaign will not be opened formally
until some time during the early part
of September
Has Thomas Taggart decided on the
nomination of Kern for governor as
leading part of the plan he is said
to have in hand to take Indiana out
of the Republican column? The ques-
ton is beng asked because Of the at
tempt CT Taggart's paper to revive the
Kern boom. There is not much doubt
that Kern could have the nomination
if he would say he would accept, as he
of the party and not few leaders be-
lisse he is the logical man to head the
ticket. Taggart's paper says that
within the last forty-eight hours there
has been a marked change of senti-
ment among the party leaders favora-
BILE to the nomination of Kern. And
to make it further appear that there
is call for Kern, it has gone to the
trouble of quoting Ralston and T. P.
Davis favorable to Kern. The return
of Taggart will now be awaited with
more interest than ever, for it is pos
sible that he may have found time
while visiting with Judge Parker and
arranging for the opening of the head
quarters of the national committee to
tip it off to his lieutenants here that
he desires the nomination of Kern.

Worlds Fair commission, is being
warmly praised for the skillful way in
which he is looking after the inter-

Thousands of Hoosiers who have Wis

pleasantly remember the genial man.

Indiana building. From all that is be-
ing said it would seem that the COM
mission was fortunate in securing Mr..
Alexander to hold out the latch string,
for he is doing it in such way that
the Indiana building is one of the
most popular on the grounds. 1t is
said that Mr.. Alexander is leaving
nothing undone to insure the comfort
and pleasure OF the HOOSlerS VINO call
at the building. The latter by the
way, is said to be one of the finest and
most convenient on the grounds.
Thousands of Indianians are going to
the fair but it is expected that the
big crowd from this state will not go
until September and October, as many
are holding off for the cooler weather.
John Worth Kern of this city and
Samuel M. RalstOn Of Lebanon are
doing a real Alphonse and CASTOR
stunt over the Democratic nomination
for governor. Each seems determined
to hand the honor to the other Kern
said today that he is not candidate;
that he made the race four years ago,
| and that he thinks someone else
should lead the fight this time. He
says he wants Ralston for governor
and that he believes Ralston will &C

be outdone by Kern's generosity and

that Kern should be nominated AS
