Indianapolis, April 2S,-Frank Han
ly, who received the Republican nomi-
nation for governor yesterday, is
real "son of the soil" Twenty years
ago he was ditcher doing hard man
ual labor by day and educating him
eelf at night He is forty-one and is
perhaps the youngest man to receive
the nomination for governor at the
hands of the Republicans of Indiana.
He was born in Champaign county, IL
linois, and went to school but three
months. He was an indefatigable stu
dent, however, and he is now one of
the leading lawyers of northern Ind
ana. His first party service was in
1890, when he was elected to the state
senate where he remained two terms
He was member of congress one
Republican caucus six years ago of
being able to land in the United States
senate He is one of the most popular
and effective campaigners in the state
and is one of the shrewdest organizers
One of the first to congratulate him
yesterday was Senator Albert J. Bev-
eridge, who defeated him for the SEN
ate. Hanly expects to make thor
ouGh canvass of the state.
1t is now time to write some of the
inside history of the Republican state
convention, and the local correspond
ents will probably be at it for long
time before the subject is exhausted
It was not generally known until after
the convention how well Hanly's
forces were managed. H. S. Starr of
Richmond, one of the shrewdest poll
ticians in Indiana, was behind the Han
ly guns all the time with Union Banner
Hunt, the well-known Winchester lead
er, yet there were many newspaper
men who did not know where Starr
stood. Starr, Hunt, Deputy Auditor
of State Billheimer, John McCardle Of
lining up the forces while Hanly was
in his headquarters shaking hands
with the delegates. 1t is known now
that Hanly's managers had not plan
ned to win on the first ballot. That
they did so, however, was no great
surprise, as they had figured the sit
uation very closely and were confident
that he had the votes to win at any
time. Their idea was to get near the
mark on the first and to go over on
the second, but the stampede headed
them Off Starr and Hunt said today
that Tuesday night they knew within
five votes of the number they would
receive on the first ballot.
indianapolis, April 2S.-Now that
the Republican convention is all over
review is being taken of how things
were done There is no doubt in the
minds of those who were close OBJ
servers that the three opponents of
Hanly suffered for lack of OrganiZa-
ton. That an old-timer like w. l..
Taylor should have overlooked such an
important detail was beyond the com
prehensiOn of the party leaders with
whom he has been actively associated
yet it is conceded by his friends that
he had practically no organization
whatever. 1t is generally admitted by
politicians that Taylor took too much
for granted when in going from county
to county the politicians told him they
were for him. He did not stop to or
ganize. Hanly, on the other hand, pur-
sued a campaign of organization which
kept him right at the front from the
start. Sayre and Penfield also suffered
from lack of organization, and the only
chance they had of winning at any
stage was revolt from Hanly. An
example of what organization will do
for candidate who was regarded as
an outsider at the start, may be noted
in the case of Hugh TIL. Miller, who
owes his nomination for lieutenant
governor largely to the adroit way his
forces were handled
