His Own Delegates Has Civ
en- Other Candidates Chance
THREE OTHER ASPlRANTS
IN THE CITY THIS WEEK.
Working to Secure Their Part
Of the Wayne County Dele
cation to Congressional
Convention, April 9.

The open door" policy of the Rev.
J. o. Campbell, Wayne county's con-
gressional candidate on the republican
ticket, has had the result looked for
by the friends Of the preacher politi-
can who advised him against taking
the action he did in making a public
statement to the effect that he would
not select his own delegates to the con-
gressional convention
Three Candidates Here.
Since the first of this week, three of
Mr. Campbell's opponents. E. E. Moore
of Connersville. Tom Davidson OF
Greensburg and Judge Barnard of New
castle, have been in the city, building
fences and stretching lines to secure
their share of delegates from this coun-
ty. 1t is reported that they are meet
ing with some success. In this work
they are being assisted by men who
supported Campbell at the county pri-
mary. with the intention of delivering
him over, in case he defeated Jessup
and Veneer. to the candidate who was
really their choice as a successor to
Congressman James E. Watson.
Subject of Comment.
The action taken by the Rev. J. o.
Campbell in refusing to name his
choice OF delegates to the district con
vention is the subject of general com
ment on the part of politicians
throughout the district. 1t is the gen.
eral opinion that Mr.. Campbell made
an unwise move in refusing TO name
his delegates. Wayne county is now

During the past two days every pub

superintendent.
In the future the policy of the school

Albert Minke, Fruit PeddIer,
Taken Into Custody Yester-
day Afternoon for Violating
City Law.
DISCRIMINATION IS AL
LEGGED BY TRADESMEN.
Claimed That No Effort Is Be-
ing Made to Bring to a Stop
Several Different Classes
Operating Here.

The first arrest under the new ped
ding ordinance was made yesterday
afternoon when Albert Minke, d fruit
peddler was taken into custody. The
case was not given a hearing in the
city court this morning, because City
Attorney r. J. Study had other busi-
ness to attend to.
Nearly all the fruit peddlers in the
city We're at police headquarters this
morning entering vigorous protests
against the enforcement of the ordi-
nance, which they allege shows dis
elimination between themselves and
the grocers. Mnke was arrested sew
eral months ago for a violation of the
old peddling ordinance. When the
case was given hearing the ordinance
was declared to be unconstitutional.
Refuse to Pay.
| All of the fruit peddlers in the city,
with the exception of two Roumanian
Jews, have refused to pay the required
fee for a license. 81 pay my taxes
and | have right to make my living
the way 1 do without paying the city a
fee for the privilege" is the way one
peddler put it.
Discrimination Alleged.
| 1t is alleged that the authorities
showed discrimination in arresting
| Minke. 1t is stated that no effort is
made to require the men who peddle
coal oil. fish and milk about the city to
secure peddling licenses. The ordi-
nance now on the statute book pro-
vides that its terms shall not apply to
any grocer or peddler who hawks about
! the city, wares of his own produce -
| 1t is maintained that that section of
! tue ordinance shows discrimination
| between the grocer and the peddler
who as class rarely sell wares of
their own produce. It is maintained
| by the local fruit peddlers that the
! coal oil hawked about the city is not
! the produce of the oil peddlers. nor do
| the fish peddlers raise their own fish.
1t is also stated that there are many
milk dealers who buy milk from dai.
ries for the purpose of peddling ii
about the city.
| Il suppose l can not peddle fruit un-
til some action in the Minke case has
been TAKEN" said John McNearney. a
fruit peddler. IF l follow my trade
l get pinched. If I quit work l get
pinched for violating the lettering or
dinance."
The police were informed this morn
! ing by several fruit peddlers that the
two Roumanian Jews peddliug in the
city, violated the pure food law. This
complaint will be investigated.

sitting claims back and forth, and
shaking out facts here and there, and
taking the prevailing Judgment as a
guide, are giving out the opinion that
in spite OF all Uncle Jack Gowdy's
confident assertions, Congressman
James NJ. Watson will not be nomi-
mated for governor by the Republicans
on the first ballot, April >.
Horse Race" Predicted.
The field, it is now figured, will be
able to muster more than 800 of the
1.476 delegates. If C. w. Miller. Hugh
T. Miller and w. L. Taylor in CON
cert. muster. say $40. Mr.. Watson will
start off with $50. He needs 80. This
means a horse race"
Taking the judgment of disinterest-
ed men, 1t Is estimated that c. W. Mil
Ter of Goshen, will run second at the
first voting test, but that w. l.. Tay.
lor of Indianapolis, with 141 Seventh
district shouters behind him, will run
pretty close to the Goshen man.
Some men expect the $50 field votes
to go 425 for Miller of Goshen, 325 to
Mr.. Taylor, and 200 to Miller of Co
lumbus.
Field Divided.
The Watson men say positively that
W. l.. Taylor shall not receive the
nomination under any conditions.
This may be taken as clear warning
that the Watson strength, In the
event that it must break from the
Rushville man, will go to Miller OF
Columbus. 1t is found, in conversa-
tions with Hugh Miller men. that the
lieutenant governors crowd is soft
ened towards MrA Watson consider
ably as compared with their seeming
hostility of few weeks ago. II looks
as If the final lineup would be Wat
son and Miller of Columbus against
Miller of Goshen and Taylor.
MiIIer's Position.
Where will Hugh T. Miller go with
! his bunch of delegates when the con-
! vention settles down to placing a NOM
ination? Will he be able to say what
| his delegates shall do? If he is able
to direct their course. whittier will he
/ lead them? IL he is at heart a part
| of the field against Mr.. Watson. he
| may help the strongest Of the three
| candidates In the field" IL is need
| less to say that the Watson people are
warming up to Miller of Columbus
| with all sorts of affectionate manifes-
tations. 1t is evident that many queer
breaks will result from the break and
new alignment after the sparring is
over.
| IL Mr. Watson fails to land a nomi-
nation on the first ballot he will lose
many votes on ballot No. 2, and he
will be sadly in need of all the dele
gates he can call from all sources. n
he tries to call them too early in the
/ game. he may arouse resentment and

Railroads, Jobbers and Re-
taiIers More Than Pleased
With the Outlook for the
Coming Season.
RAILROAD TRAFFIC TRUE
INDEX TO BUSINESS.
THIS is DECLARED TO BE AN uN-
DISPUTABIE FACT FREIGHT
BUSINESS is NOW PICKING UP
EVERYWHERE.

The decrease in the number of idle
cars as shown by the reports of the
car efficiency committee of the Ameri-
can Railway association is one OF the
most encouraging signs of the times.
The decrease of almost 5000 cars in
the car surplus in the district COM
posed of Ohio Indiana and Michigan
in the three weeks ended Feb. 19
shows that there has been good in
crease in freight traffic in these three
states and the next report is expect
ed to show an even larger decrease.
True Business Index.
The traffic of the railroads is the
true index of the business condition
of the country. and as the idle cars
decrease in number IL may safely be
asserted that general business has in
creased in like proportion. Reports
from local plants bear out the figures
of the railroads, as practically all of
the larger industrial corporations of
the city say that there has been a
gradual increase in their orders.
Earnings Increased.
In all the falling off in freight traf-
fic it is remarkable that passenger
earnings of the railroads of the coun-
try are showing increases. There has
been no great falling off in passenger
traffic, and the earnings Of the rail
ways from this source are quite salts.
factory to their arrangements, it is
stated in Richmond.
Jobbers Hopeful.
Among local jobbers and retailers
there is much more hopeful feeling
The travelling men of the jobbing
houses are now out after spring or.
ders and are meeting with much sue
cess. The grocery houses especially
are finding business better than was
anticipated, and the dry goods jobbers
say they are we'll satisfied with the
orders which they are receiving. The
dry goods men say that owing to the
closing down Of the mills last fall
stocks are low in the East and they
have had much trouble in securing
good assortments, and in some lines
their supply of goods is very limited
Collections with the majority Of the
| jobbers are reported fair.
The retailers of the city are looking
forward to a good spring trade, and
already the nice days are bringing out
many shoppers. The month of Febru
airy is always the poorest in the year
and while during the month just end
ed there We're many complaints from
the retailers, the majority of them
was surprised to find after they had
4 closed up their books for the month
that February of 1908 was up to and in
mand instances ahead Of the cores
| ponding month of last year.
Since the first of February the ma
| jority of manufacturing plants have
| been adding some new men, and while
no great number has been put on al
any time, there has been in the las
month quite an appreciable reduction
in the number of idle men in the in
dustrial ranks of Richmond With the
/ coming of spring weather, it is ex
pected that there will be a close ap
proach to former conditions in loca
manufacturing circles.
