Everything Was Done by AccIamation
There TODAY,

indianapolis. April 21.-The Third
district Republican congressional con-
vention was held at New Albany to-
day. w. l.. Taylor of this city, War
rem G. Sayre of Wabash, and Judge
Penfield or Auburn, candidates for gov.
ernOr, left here on an early morning
train TO attend. George Self of Cory
don, candidate for reporter of the SUI
preme and appellate courts, accOmpan'
led them. He is now the only Third
district candidate, and he was enthusi-
astically Endorsed there today. J. F.
Dillon of Jasper, Dubois county was
nominated for congress and Sam Wul-
fran of Huntingburg, and Harry Nc
Grain Of CorydCn for delegates to the
national convention g" Chicago. Ev-
erything was done by reclamation.
This is a strong Democratic district,
but the candidate for congress has
strong hopes of cutting down the ma
jority. The Third will send large
delegation to Indianapolis to work for
the nomination of Self. The latter
by the way, will be the only old soldier
candidate before the convention. as he
is a veteran of the war of the SOS.
After tomorrow all of the candidates
for places on the Republican state
eicket will open headquarters at the
Hotel English, and then the real strug
gle will begin. Taylor is going tC
move over from the State Life build
ing, where he has had a large force
busy for some time. Hanly and Pen
field have been at the English for sew.
eral days. Hugh TIL. Miller and Perry
Newly, the candidates for lieutenant
governor, are now there, and Sayre
says he will be on hand Saturday. Self,
Smith, Nash and Corwin, the candi-
dates for reporter of the supreme and
appellate courts, will have their head
quarters in running order by tOmOr-
! row night. None of the candidates
| seem superstitious. as they are going
| ahead with their headquarter opening
| tomorrow regardless of the fact that
| it is Friday. The vanguard of the
party workers is here, and by Satur.
| day night il is fully expected that be.
| tween two and three hundred will be
| on hand.
| for the Republican state convention
this year will not lie so difficult, as it
| is the general understanding that
| there will be a stand pat" policy.
| However, the matter is to receive very
, careful attention, and Monday night
there will be a conference to which
| the members of congress, Senators
| Fairbanks and Beverage, Addison G.
Harris. Judge A. O. Marsh. Governor
| Durbin and other state officials will be
invited by Chairman Goodrich. 1t is
probable that the document will be
framed up and ready for the commit
tee on resolutions to be appointed the
following morning. Among the i'm
portant features will be the indorse
ment of the candidacy of President
Roosevelt, Senator Beveridge for re-
election, the policy of the state admin
istration and the action of the Indiana
Republican delegation in congress.
| The appointment Of Harry Adams OF
this city as sergeant at arms for the
Republican state convention is salts
factory to all the candidates. The pub
lie does not realize what hard job il
is to select a man for this position
who is satisfactory to all the men who
want places on the ticket. To the
average politician, however, the advan
tage of having a sergeant at arms or
your side is obvious, and it was thai
feature that made the selection diff
cult. All Of the candidates are watch
ing their opponents now like hawks
to keep them from getting any advan
tage, but they are not worried much
/ about Adams, who is generally known
as fair man.
