Of 1t This Campaign.

Of Ii This Campaign.
indianapolis. Sept. Ex-senator Fair
banks and not President Roosevelt,
ia the strenuous one of the present
campaign The president is at home
at Oyster Bay taking things easy,
while Senator Fairbanks. who was
wont to look upon life as calm, Sc
rene proposition, is fitting about the
country as if he had forgotten all ira
ditions that are dear to him. Accord
ing to word given out at his Office here
not have a chance to visit his own
home very often during the campaign.
He will make number of speeches
in the East before he starts for Chi
cago, where he will take a special
train Sept. % for long Western tour.
He will cover practically the same ter
ritory that president Roosevelt went
over four years ago as the vice presl-
Dental candidate. Nebraska, Nevada,
Utah, Montana and several other
states will be included in the swing
around the circle 1t is probable that
Senator Fairbanks will not make any
speeches in Indiana till the last week
Of the campaign.
Every time big Chief" Joe Healing
leaves town the political writer's hatch
I'D some sort of a story about him.
It was rumored yesterday that he was
off on a mysterious trip to southern
Indiana, and some of the pipe dream
ers Immediately jumped to the conclu-
sion that he had gone to French Lick
for the purpose of meeting some Of the
legislative candidates. The reporters
of political doings who know how
things have been done in the last two
or three campaigns can't get far from
the idea that Healing is to be in pretty
close touch with the legislative cam.
paign. Two years ago as manager of
Senator Fairbanks campaign he
looked after the legislative end, and
the big majority the Republicans
rolled up was a testimonial Of how
we'll he did his work. 1t is said at the
state committee rooms, however, that
this time he will not have a hand in
| the management, and that H. c. Petit
of this city and H. c. Starr of Rich
mond will be in charge. But as al
ready stated, the men who write about
the political situation will have tc
have some proof of the pudding before
they will admit that Healing is no,
doing his share in managing the legis
lative campaign.
| Crawford Fairbanks, the millionaire
Terre Haute brewer, who is the close
friend and business associate of Chair
man Taggart, has returned from New
! York, where he spent the last twt
weeks. Like Joe T. Tanning, wht
was here a few days ago, he refute'
the stories about the disaffection of thu
leaders at the national committee
| Headquarters. He indicates that Tag
CART is as near the whole show Their
as it is possible for man to be. HI
also gave out positive statemen
that Taggart will return to Indianar
oils next Thursday or Friday, which
is welcome to the Democratic lead
ers.
Governor Durbin was expected bac
today from his hunting trip in Sout
Dakota with ex-Attorney General W
L. Taylor and Ernest Trip. N
stories about the big game they hav
landed have preceded them, but a
the governor and Trip are rated a
crack Shots 1t is very likely that the
landed their share. The governor vii
not remain long in Indiana, as he i

expects to be actively engaged in tn
work of the campaign, however. by tn
