TIE INDIANA PLAN
Prevents Such Exhibitions as illinois
and Wisconsin Have Witnessed.

and Wisconsin Have Witnessed.
Indianapolis, May 21-The result |
OF the Republican state conventions in
Illinois and Wisconsin are viewed with |
considerable alarm by the Republican
leaders who participate in the nation
al political game. They don't like the
appearance of things, although they
are not ready to admit that the trouble
will lead to the loss of the tickets in
the two states. AS to Wisconsin, it
seems that many leaders, including.
Chairman Goodrich and Secretary
Sims of the state committee are more
in sympathy with Governor Lafollette
than they are with the bolters who ara
led by Senators Spooner and Quarlcs.
Goodrich and Sims made trips into
Wisconsin last summer and are conf
dent that the rank and file of the Re-
publicans prefer Lafo1Iette. 1t is be-
ing pointed out by the Republican
leade-5 here that in Indiana such
condition Of affairs as now exists in
Illinois and Wisconsin would not he
possible, inasmuch as the governor is
not permitted to have a second term
in succession in Indiana. The trouble
IN ILLINOIS seems W Do the VI
the efforts of Governor Yates to ex-
tend his service through another term,
while in Wisconsin Governor LafOl-
lette is seeking a third term. The
party leaders here say that the 1ndi-
ana system of giving but one four-year
term is much better for party harmony
as well as good government.
A new era in the progress of the in
| terurban electric road business was
| noted here today when massive but
| elegant car was moved slowly through
| the downtown streets. It was one of
the first interurban sleeping and par
| lor cars constructed. 1t is to be to
! the interurbans what the Pullmans are
| to the steam roads. 1t is equipped
| for long trips, and it is probable that
the first service of the kind in the
country will soon be established be-
| tween here and Dayton, 0. The cars
| are geared to a speed almost equaling
| that of the steam road flyers, and it is
| declared that it will only be ques-
ton of a comparatively short time I'M
til the intorurban sleeping-car service
will be general. Another innovation
for interurbans will be introduced
Sunday, when there will be big Sun
day excursion to Chicago in conjunc-
ton with one of the steam roads.
The William Randolph Hearst move
ment in Indiana is not to be dropped
merely because the delegation was in
J structed for Judge Parker. The pala-
| tial headquarters at the ClaypOOl hotel
have been closed, but another head
| quarters has been opened in the New
ton Claypool building, where the
Hearst Indiana literary bureau was
located. J. Oscar Henderson is to re.
main in charge Of the headquarters
and the fact that he will have one OF
two assistants all the time is regard
ed as an indication that Hearst does
not intend to let up in Indiana. 1t is
rumored that there will be one or two
Hearst specials from Indiana to the
st. Louis convention or the purpose Of
showing to the crowd that Indiana is
not entirely for Parker in spite of the
/ action of the state convention.
Chairman Goodrich of the state com
l mittee went to Chicago last night or
private business, but he will probably
complete arrangements for headquar
/ tiers for the Indiana delegation. 1t i!
: the understanding that the Hoosie,
f delegates will have headquarters at thu
5 Auditorium Annex, but many of the
: leaders will stop at other hotels
I There promises to be an unsuall.
I large delegation from this state, ant
while there is no definite movement, /
2 would not be surprising If the Indian
: ians should launch presidential
J. boom for Charles w. Fairbanks TO
\ 1908. 1t is understood that arrange
ments will be made for three or fOu
l. special trains for the Indiana pOlit
n clans to Chicago.
