THE M'kiNLEY MONUMENT
All Classes and Conditions Of Men
Contribute to Fund.
Indianapolis, May 3.-Senator Chas.
w. Fairbanks left for New York to
attend q meeting of the Mckinley |
Monument association, May 8. He Is |
one of the directors. About $500, 900. |
he says, has been raised. Indiana has |
contributed between 1000 and $12,. |
900. 1.-THE money" said Senator Fair |
banks, has come from all classes and |
conditions Of men from all over the |
United States and from foreign coun- |
tries" The monument is to be erect |
ed at Canton, Ohio, the home of the |
late president. Senator Fairbanks Is |
going to stop at Springfield, O., for a |
brief visit with his mother en- route to
New York.
Unless the unit rule is adopted or
the delegation is instructed, it does
not seem likely now that National
Committeeman Taggart, Chairman
O'Brien and their associates will be
able to make good" the claim that
William Randolph Hearst will not get
an Indiana delegate to the convention
at st. Louis. They will probably lose
the Twelfth district on the face of the
returns from Allen county, indicating
! that Hearst has a large majority there
J. Oscar Henderson, Hearst's manager
in Indiana, claims the Twelfth. He
says that every county in the district
is about equally divided except La
| grange, which has instructed for
Hearst. Henry Collerick of FIT. Wayne
! and DR.. F. M. Hines of Auburn will
| be the latter's candidates for dele
| gates in the Twelfth. 1t was stated
today that the Hearst candidates for
delegates-at-large will be w. r. Myers
of Anderson, former secretary of
state; John H. O'Neal of Washington,
State Senator Lew '. Ulrey of Fort
Wayne, and James McCabe of Will
Transport, former supreme judge. The
state convention for the purpose of Sc
lecting delegates to the national con-
ven-ion will be held here May r.
r. Harry Miller of Paramount, late
president of the Lincoln League of In
diana, was here today en- route home.
He was recently nominated for record
er of Grant county, which recalls that
the presidency of the Lincoln League
has generally been stepping-s to
some good position. Newton w. Gill
bert of Fort Wayne, present lieuten-
ant governor and nominee for con-
gress in the Twelfth district was presi-
dent Of the Lincoln League before he
was nominated for lieutenant governor
four years ago. Daniel E. Storms of
Lafayette, who succeeded him as presi-
dent of the league, was nominated and
elected secretary of state, and last
week renominated by reclamation.
Charles Willard Mcclure is the pres
ent head of the league, and it would
not be surprising if he should bob up
some day with a good office.
Congressman Watson is enjoying
much prominence for his great key
note speech here at the state conven-
ton last week. 1t is regarded as a
masterpiece from Republican stand
point and has caused the Sixth district
representative to be more seriously
regarded than ever before by his own
, party. It may be stated that the
speech attracted much attention in 9TH
err states as we'll as Indiana. Con-
| gresham Watson is now being talked
, of as prospective candidate for the
} senate in case that Senator Fairbanks
: should be elected vice president and
{ if the Republicans should again carry
the state, but he is not encouraging it.
Some of his friends have said that If
Congressman Hemenway should be-
come a candidate for the senate that
} Watson would support him.
There is considerable talk going the
rounds to the effect that Sidney Cant,
we'll Of Hartford City, expects to be.
, come candidate for speaker of the
r house if he is renominated by tho Re
7 publicans OF his district. The chances
r are that he will receive the nomina
? ton by reclamation, so his announce
: ment may not be long deferred. War
, rem G. Sayre Of Wabash may ask fol
: the speakership, in which case the
3 Eleventh district would have two can
/ didates. So far there are no other
/ Republican names mentioned other
= than Cantwell and Sayre. Hugh TIL
Miller Of Columbus would probably
have been a candidate for speaker had
he not received the nomination fol
n lieutenant governor.
