When Time Comes.

Indianapolis, Aug. 13.-No arrange
ments VIII be made for Senator Bever-
/ idges snare in the work of the cam
| paign until he returns from his long
vacation in the Maine woods, Sept. l.
| He naturally expects 10 take very
active part, as this is his year a he is
/ candidate for reelection. There are
| aiTeaoy large number of requests for
! speeches from him. Charles Remy,
| reporter OF the supreme and appellate
courts, called at the state committee
| rooms Today and asked Chairman Ly-
| ons OF the speakers bureau to assign
| Senator Beverage to open the cam
| paign at Columbus the night of Oct. L.
| Arrangements will be made shortly
after his return for his trip. 1t is very
! probable, however, that he will be
called by the national committee to
make a good many speeches outside
the state. Senator Fairbanks is not
to return to the cottage he engaged
for the summer at Mackinac Island.
Mrs. Fairbanks and other members OF
her family will be there for month
or so, but the senator will remain in
Indianapolis completing his letter of
acceptance and making arrangements
for the campaign. Most Of the party
leaders who take an active part on the
stump are now resting. Congressman
Fred Lands of Eleventh district, for
whom there are many demands, is TAX
ing vacation at Maxincuckee. His
brother. Congressman Charles B. Lam
dis, has begun series of joint debates
with Congressman Champ Clark of
Missouri All of the party leaders,
however, will be in readiness to start
things with much vigor by the first of
next month.
It looks very much now as if Levi
p. Harlan of this city will be the Dem
ocratic nominee for congress in this
district. Efforts have failed to bring
other prominent men into the race.
Mayor Hoffman has been urged to
permit the use of his name, but he
has written letter from Atlantic City,
where he is taking a vacation, that he
can't afford to be a candidate. He in
Dictated that he feels it his duty to
continue as mayor of the city. Frank
p Baker, a well-known young Demo-
ton, but it is the understanding that
Taggart and his associates want Har-
Ian. The latter was chairman of the
county committee several years ago
and is well known and liked among
the old-time party workers. AS the
district is strongly Republican one can
didate would probably be as good as
another on the Democratic ticket, pro-
viding of course he was a good man
to start with. The congressional con-
vention will be held the latter part of
the month.
William Jennings Bryan left here at
8 this morning for Freeport, Ohio. AS
matter of course he was not accom-
panied to the union station by any of
his loyal followers. Probably no one
but the night clerk and porters at the
Grand hotel knew of his departure. He
arrived Mere after supper last night.
AS usual he was looking fine and was
in excellent spirits. Although it was
not known that he was coming, a num-
Der heard that he was here, and called
on him at the Grand hotel. He YVES
quite busy in the lobby until 10, when
he retired for a brief rest. Bryan
seemed confident that there is victory
in the air for the Democrats, but he
was not ready to discuss the situation
In detailed way. He intimated that
he will probably come back to Indi-
annapolis during the campaign to make
q number of speeches.
The Democrats of the Thirteenth dis
trfct will hold their congressional con-
vention at South Bend Sept 1. A
call has just been issued. There is
some talk of nominating Benjamin F.
Shively of South Bend. He could un-
doubtedly have the nomination if he
wanted it, but he will not accept. He
formerly represented the district in
congress, but it is now the general un-
derstanding that he aims higher and
that he is trying to line up matters so
he can enter the United States senate
If the Democrats carry the legislature.
The Democrats may have to draft
candidate in the Thirteenth, as it is
Republican by over 1000. Frank Her
ring of South Bend made the race two
years ago against Congressman Abe
Brick, but he is not candidate this
time.
