REPUBLICANS WANT BEST
MAN FOR VICE PRESIDENT
Views of Leaders at Washington
on the Endorsement of Robert
R. Hit, of Illinois.
MIR. FAIRBANKS FAVORED

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. May 13.-It is not regard
ed as probable here that the simple fact
that Representative Hit of Illinois. was
to-day Endorsed by his state conven-
ton as candidate for Vice Pres
dent will result in his nomination.
IL Is an open question among the
political leaders here whether il would not
be wiser for the Republican convention in
Chicago to insist upon the nomination of
Senator Fairbanks on account OF the strong
impression that he would contribute more
strength to the ticket than would Mr.. Hit.
Not word can be said against the
personal fitness Of Mr. Hit, but. as was
said by prominent official here to-day,
the Republican convention. will be in po-
sition to weigh this question with consid-
cradle care, and what the Republicans
really want is not only man who would
make acceptable Vice President. but
one who would be an exceptional candi-
date"
1t is believed here that the movement in
favor Of Mr.. Hit was seized upon by those
who believe that ii is desirable to nominate
an Illinois candidate this year on account
of the possible detection of the labor vote
In Chicago. On the other hand. 1t has al
ways been claimed by those who appreciate
Senator Fairbanks's qualifications that he
would make a powerful cafnpagner, and
not only would be strong from geograph-
ical standpoint but would lend spirit and
enthusiasm TO the Republican campaign.
