A QUIET CAMPAIGN
GubernatoriaI Candidates Causing No
Great Early Stir.


indianapolis, February SIT is
worthy OF mention that there is no
excitement whatever over the race
for the Republican nomination for gov
ernor. It might naturally be expected
that things would be warming up. If
they are the fire is under cover. The
candidates are doing lot of work, but
it don't seem to be aronsing much in
terest. j. Frank Hanly of Lafayette
and w L. Taylor of Indianapolis have
been working at their candidacy for
several months, yet the interest seems
of passive sort. Now Judge Pen
field has come home from Washing
ton to try his hand, but he don't seem
to have caused ripple. However.
things may warm up some when the
date for the convention is finally de-
termined. There is no doubt that
there will be a hard fight for the NOM
ination and that for such small field
a great amount of work will be done,
but it is certain that there is not so
much public interest as there was four
years ago. when there were four or five
very strong and active candidates
right at the start.

Considerable partisan feeling is al
ready developing among party leaders
who are figuring on who will succeed
Senator Fairbanks if he should be
elected vice president, and it is now
pretty generally conceded that he will
be nominated. The followers of Gov
ernor Durbin-that is, the men who
are said to compose his machine
feel that Senator Fairbanks should
throw his influence to him, yet they
are almost convinced that the Fair
banks organization is determined to
elect Congressman Hemenway to the
senate if there is a chance. If there
is a vacancy in the senate it is almost
certain it will not be filled without a
bitter and prolonged fight. The con-
test, however. is not liable to be linn
tied to Durbin and Hemenway, as
there will no doubt be two or three
other very active candidates.

Sion of Waning Gas.

Hartford City, Ind, Feb. 8.-An evil
dence of the waning of the natural gas
supply, which is no longer concealed,
is the giving of a contract by the Ft.
Wayne Gas company to plug sixty
of its gas wells. The contract means
that this number of wells owned by
this one company have become dead
and are no longer furnishing gas.

Some interesting political gossip
comes from the Twelfth congressional
district The Democrats viii not op-
pose the denomination of Congressman
Robinson. He seems to have secured
a very firm hold since he successfully
OVERRIDE the precedent against giving
any man more than two terms. and he
now seems very firmly intrenched.
There will be an unexpected fight
among the Republicans who feel there
is now a chance of carrying the dis
trict When Lieutenant Governor Gil
bert withdrew from the race for gov
ernor and became a candidate for con-
gress it was thought that he would
have easy sailing in the Twelfth, but
now comes the rumor that he will
have a hard time to defeat G. G. Gil
hams, who made the race last year
against Robinson. Gilhams has a host
of friends. and he has his heart set
on making another race. Well in
formed politicians say that Gilbert has
the fight of his life on hand and that
the chances are more favorable to the
nomination of Gilhams.

Neither of the two old parties are
going to have anything to brag of IN
the harmony line in this county, and
this county is of utmost Importance to
both, as it is a pivotal point for the
state ticket The Democrats have re-
organized and Taggart men are in con-
troll, but the charge is made that snap
judgment was taken on the party.
The Keach-Holtzman crowd is I'M
doubtedly mad and will not enter the
campaign with the enthusiasm that
characterized its efforts in the munich
pal campaign. AS for the Republicans
they have bitter fight on for control
of the county organization. The old
Bookwalter forces are determined to
elect the chairman and other officers,
while the big wing known as the AN
tbs" is just as determined that the old
ring shall be knocked out. 1t is not
evident as yet which has the whip
hand but the leaders who are not in
volved in the scrap are afraid that it
will hurt the ticket whichever side
wins.
