bulletin O assignments for the snaak-
10. campaign was issued tosav hy
Chairman {. c. Lyons of the snealyars,
bureau OF the Republican state com.
mlttee. The campaign is to be opened
without the Formally of fixing a date
for general getaway. This IS new
plan for the Republicans but II maots
with the approval of Chairman Good.
rlch anu other managers of the cam
palgn. The Republicans. according to
CHAIRMAN Lyons, will have one of the
greatest speaking campaigns in re.
cent years. Every section of the state
is TO be covered. J. Frank Hanly can
didate for governor. and Senator Rev
erldse, candidate for reelection. will
speak IN practically every county.
while there will be an hundred others
IRON. TINS state in addition to the no.
table speakers who will be sent to
Indiana by the national committee.
The Democrats will also make a great
er speaking campaign than in the last
two election years. so it is reasonable
to predict that some records will be
broken. The arrangements will be so
thorough on each side that there will
not be much chance for a continuance
of apathetic conditions.
Robert E. Mansfield. consul to Val
paraiso, Chilli, who has returned to
Indiana to spend sixty days, says that
John K. Gowdy, consul general at
Paris. will not return to Indiana to
participate In the campaign, as was
rumored some time ago. Gowdy. he
declares, has secured leave of alb
sence, but he will utilize it travelling
in Europe. Although the Republican
leaders here are proud of the fine rec
ord Gowdy has made in the diplomatic
service, there is feeling that he has
held the present position long enough,
and unless he voluntarily retires your
correspondent is able to state on good
authority that Republican leaders in |
this state will protest vigorously !
against his reappOintment. 1t is ru-
mored that Chairman Goodrich of the
state committee would like to be ap-
pointed, but his friends say that he is !
in no way candidate for it and that |
he has no desire for a position that
would take him out of the country.
A representative Of one of the large
voting machine companies said today
there is a good reason why machines
are not in more general use in Indi-
ana. The tickets, he said, are so long
that it requires an unwieldy machine
that the companies do not care to make
and guarantee. Until the election laws
are changed to shorten the ticket he |
does not look for a general adoption
OF machines, for the companies will
not care for the business under the
present conditions. Vigo is the only
county that has purchased machines,
the legislature for the last
four years has been working out a
voting machine law The voting ma
chine agent said that the ticket here
this time will have sixty names on it.
One or two states have forty names
on the ticket, but most states have
less than thirty. Hence the companies
are going after their business first
Newton Booth Harrington, the au-
thor, is to be the Gentleman from In
LLAMA in name only, it seems, for he
g now arranging to return to New
York to spend the winter. He has just
arrived here from his long European
our. He intends to retain his resi-
lence here, but his work will take
aim to New York for t. next six
as he says he S been en-
gagged to write a play.
