WATSON SAYS STATE
IS FOR FAIRBANKS
At Least a Dispatch from
Washington City Quotes
Him in This Way.
DELEGATION AT CAPITAL.
WAS DISCUSSED AT THE RE-
CENT GATHERING OF "BoYS" AT
INDIANAPOLIS.

Washington, April 25-Indiana and
Illinois swept down on the NATIONAL
capital Wednesday. Indiana was rep
resented by Senator Hemenway, James
e. Watson, James p. Goodrich. Joseph
B. Healing and Henry w. Marshall
who put up' at the New Willard, and
Harry S. New, who is stopping at the
Shoreham. The Sucker state is rep
resented by Uncle joe Cannon who
is with the Indiana crowd at the VIII
lard
The day brought forth one interest
ing development, which is that Uncle
Joe'' Cannon has erected tall presi-
Dental lightning rod, and is waiting
for the flashes to play around it, in
fond expectation that he will be hit.
IF Speaker Cannon is nominated
for the presidency in the next republf-
can national convention the tears that
will be shed in Indiana can be SCOOP
ed into a teaspoon" said Representa-
tive Watson.
But. of course, Indiana is for Mr..
Fairbanks" Mr. Watson went on. THE
vice president will receive the vote of
his state The people of Indiana are
WIFI ulul anu ne 10 III
all the time in other parts of the coun-
try He has considerable strength in
the South, much in the middle West
and considerable in the far West.
There is no reason why he should not
have it here in the East, where his
conservatism appeals to the people.
He is a strong and safe man"
Congressman Watson, whip of the
house. and one of Uncle Joe's closest
friends, says it is absurd to suppose
that presidential politics was discuss
ed at Mr.. Fairbanks house. Il called
Uncle Joe by telephone and told him
that if he didn't come with us to the
jamestown exposition he would get
kicked" said Mr. Watson. He an
swered that he didn't want to get kick
ed and that he and his daughter would
join Hemenway and me at Indfanapo-
lis. When Mr.. Fairbanks heard of
this he arranged to have the speaker
and his daughter at dinner Miss
Cannon decided not to go to the expo
sition. and so the little social event
at Mr.. Fairbanks house took place
without her. That's all there is to it.
Wednesday afternoon Senator Hem
enway. Representative Watson, Mr.
Goodrich and Mr.. Marshall got in q
red devil and rode up to the white
house. The president didn't know
they were coming. and as he was then
in conference with Secretary Taft they
departed without notifying him of
their presence Mr.. Watson dismount-
ed from the machine long enough TO go
into the white house and leave With
Secretary Loeb the first copy OF the
new constitution of Oklahoma for the
presidents perusal.

IS IMPROVING CANNERY
Business of August BOden Is
On the Increase.
TO PUT UP GREEN BEANS.

Cambridge City, April 2o.--August S.
Boden is making several important i'm
provements on his tomato cannery in
this city. He has installed To-
horse power engine and boiler in his
factory and will add new machinery
for the preparation of green beans for
canning. This feature will increase
the output greatly and will make the
cannery one of the most modern and
up-to-date in the state. Mr.. Boden
does not depend wholly on the toma
toes brought in from the country for
canning, but will plant about fifty
acres of tomatoes and five acres of
beans this spring. The factory employs
between 30 and 10 men and girls in the
canning department, and a large force
of pickers in the fields. This makes
the cannery one of the most important
in this city and which has
grown steadily from a small affair to
it's present size under the manage
ment of Mr.. Boden, during the past
eight years. He has several large
contracts for his tomatoes with firms
in Cincinnati and Chicago.
