BUSY SUMNER PENDING
Senator Fairbanks Expects to Have
His Hands Full During Campaign

His Hands Full During Campaign
Indianapolis, June Ex-senator Fair
banks continues to receive congratula-
tions from all parts OF the country on
his nomination for vice president. He
is now trying to rest up from the strain
of the convention, which was severe
on him in spite Of the fact that he |
held himself aloof as much as possible
until after the nomination was made.
1t will take him a long time to reply |
to all the letters and kilograms he has |
received since then. He has no set !
plans for the summer, the only speech |
he has on hand now being one for the |
celebration of the flrtieth anniversary |
of the Republican party at Jackson
Mich, July 6. The senator, however,
will have a busy summer after the
campaign opens, for as the vice presi-
Dental candidate he will be called on
to bear the brunt OF the campaigning
for the national ticket. So far as the
Republican leaders here are concerned
they feel to a man that his domination
removes all possibility OF the Demo
Gratis carrying the state.
A somewhat late discovery was
made today of the fact that the date
set for the notification of Senator
Charles Warren Fairbanks OF his NOM
ination for vice president falls on the
date of the Democratic state conven.
ton. Whether it was an accident or
whether the Republican managers in
tended to arrange counter demon
stration is liable to be a matter of in
teresting speculation in which the
Democrats will probably. say that the
Republicans were trying to break in
on them, while the Republicans wiz
say, of course, that such thing was
never intended. Fred Sims, secretary
of the Republican state committee,
said today that he had never thought
of the matter and had not noticed that
the two big events were scheduled for
the same day until so Informed by
your correspondent. He said there
was no doubt but that it came about
accidentally, as he did not believe that
anyone at the Chicago convention
thought of the Democratic state con-
vention wl.en the date was fixed for
the notification. 1t was pointed out to-
day by Republicans to whom the mat
ter was referred that there was no
generalization in it so far as they were
concerned, as the date was fixed by a
motion offered by an Illinois delegate.
Still, it is regarded as more than
unusual coincidence that the two
events should have been scheduled FOR
the same day by accident
The Indiana delegation at the St.
Louis Democratic national convention
will have headquarters next door to
New York These two states are ex-
pected to take a most active part in
shaping the ticket. Both have in
dorsed Judge Parker. Taggart and
O'Brien engaged the headquarters sew
eral weeks ago. 1t was understood
| that the purpose of getting so near
| New York was to cooperate. The In
diana headquarters will be very hand
somely decorated with flags and flow
ers. There will also be pictures of
Hendricks, Mcdonald, Voorhees,, Tur-
| pie and other Democrats who have
made the party in Indiana famous.
Ex-senator Turpie is now nearly four
score years of age and far too feeble to
think of attempting trip to st. Louis,
but he takes active interest, and in
spite Of his age and infirmities, it is
doubtful if there is a better posted
man in the state on the political sit
uation.
There is hardly a remote probable
ity that the Democrats of Indiana will
present one of their own favorite sons
at st. Louis next week for the nomi-
nation for vice president. There was
considerable talk year ago Of B. F
Shively of South Bend for second
place, but he never encouraged it, He
is in no sense candidate, and it is
said does not desire the nomination
| There has been more or less talk re-
Gently of John E. Lamb of Terre Haute
for second place, and while he was
much gratified, he has in no wise
sought to encourage it. Lamb will be
chairman Of the Indiana delegation at
st. Louis and will be more or less a
prominent figure right from the start
The Indiana delegates will go to St.
