Buy Up Fairbanks Articles?
Indianapoli.s-Not copy of Golfers
or of the Saturday, Evening Post con-
tanning the articles on Vice President
Fairbanks can be secured in this city,
1t is said than a local notice of the
appearance or the two stories aroused
the friends OF the vice president, and
that as soon as the periodicals ar
rived they went in force to the hotels
and news dealers and bought up ev-
cry copy that came to the city except
such as were ordered in advance BY
regular patrons.
These have been going the rounds
and have caused much amusement by
reason OF the charge. that Mr.. Fair
banks Is posing as having been born
in a log cabin. His friends. however
assert that the biography of the vice
president. on which the article in Col
lier's is basel, is absolutely true and
that the article does him rank injus-
tice 1t is not denied that friends Of
Mr. Fairbanks bought up the issues Of
the two periodicals.
