Spread forth his wings to fly,
So glad and eager to depart
He never said good-by.
Heigh-ho,
Let him go!
He is not worth a sigh.
He fitted here, he fitted there,
With many a turn and tack,
Till, weary grown of life elsewhere,
He took the homeward track.
Heigh-ho,
Be it so!
The wanderers welcome back.

Prominent Party Leaders Meet This
Afternoon to Discuss the Com,

Indianapolis, April 25.-The indica-
will be here tomorrow and Wednesday
for the Republican state convention
will be record breaker in size. The
trouble, as Chairman Goodrich and
Secretary Sims of the state committee
view it, is that Tomlinson hall will not
be commensurate with the number of
people who will want to witness the
proceedings. The demand for seats
has been terrific, but it is not believed
that a third of the visitors can be ac-
commodated. The tickets are going to

The scene at the Hotel EngEsh to-
day was very animated. There was
large crowd of rOOters for each candi-
date, the gubernatorial aspirants of
course occupying the center of the
stage. Hanly, Penfield, Taylor and
Sayre and their followers are work
ing with all their might and all are
seemingly very confident. Most peo-
pie think the race is now between Tay-
lor and Hanly, with the latter in the
lead, but there are many who predict
that if Hanly can't land Penfield will.
The other Offices for which there are
contests are lieutenant governor, re-
porter of the supreme and appellate
courts, and statistician.
Among the distinguished arrivals to-
day were Senators Fairbanks and Bev-
eridge, Congressman Crumpacker,
Congressman Fred and Charles B.
Lands, and Congressman James E.
Watson, who will deliver the keynote
speech LIembers of the delegation
from Washington and a number of the
prominent party leaders met this af
ternoon to discuss the platform.
The convention will be called to Or
der tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock
by State Chairman Goodrich. The fea-
ture of the session will be the keynote
speech by Congressman Watson. All
of the standing committees except the
committee on resolutions will report
during the afternoon. Harry Strohm
of Kentland will be permanent secre-
tary.
The district delegations will meet to-
morrow morning to name their mem
bers of the standing committees and
officers of the convention. The ticket
will be nominated Wednesday.
