THEY ARE SCARED.
THE REPUBLICANS FEAR THEY

Itoublos Without and Within tho
Party Cause Alarm-Many Thinl,
Roosevelt Will 10 the Nominee.

a washington letter to the Char
lesion Post says Republican leaders
in Congress make no p%rctonse Of con-
ccaling their anxiety over the out
come OF the national elections next
November. 1t is a common tbinp IN
near Republican members Of the
iouSe admit that the chances arc
against the election of a
majority in the House next fall.
Some Republicans entertain very
grave doubts over the Presidential
election, but console themselves with
the hope that the Democrats may
do the wrong thing at the right
time" and thus ompcnsate for ex-
listing disadvantages under which
the Republican party is said to be
lahoring.
1t is admitted that this is some
what Of q new role for the Rcpubli-
can party TO be Dlaying-prospective
beneficiary Of the mistakes OF its op-
DonentS. 1t is pointed out that
heretofore the Republicans have won
upon II policy Of action, aggression
and progress. The great victories
on the money question, the tarirf
question, the PHILIPPINES question
and other issues were gained in this
way.
TWO main cause contribute to the
anxiety OF the Republicans at this
time. They are, first the widespread
Industrial depression, the resulting
hard times, a fertile and prolific
Held for Democratic growth. Second,
the factional troubles within the Re
publican party i'll a great many
States.
Some Republicans in Congress are
OF the opinion that conditions are
rapidly growing more favorable to
a possible stampede for Roosevelt.
They say that unless Secretary Taft
is nominated on The first ballot the
way will be open for a contest in
the convention which will make
Roosevelt's denomination u%navoid-
able. They think hat conditions are
working rapidly to this end.
1t is q fact that the average run Of
Republicans entertain the opinion
that President R~ooscvelt's renomina-
ton will be the outcome of the pres
muss in which the party finds it
self. Opinions vary whether in that
event The Republicans would win or
lose. Some think that President
Roosevelt is SO strong with the COM

just as they did on the night after

The principal rioting was the result
OF a dispute between the Republicans

in this district. but it is doubtful if he
gets them.
Holman and ShiveIy Lucky.
Edward G. Holman, of Fort Wayne,
and B. F. Shively, of South Bend,
are the only two candidates who ap-
pear at this time to be able to carry
the solid vote of their districts. 1t
has cropped out mere today that Hof-
man will get all the democratic votes
in the Twelfth and that Shively will
do the same in the Thirteenth, but
that either OF these men has a chance
of election.
Senatorial Candidates There.
All of the senatorial candidates
are here for the big "doin's". They
have rooms at the Denison hotel, Tom
Taggart's house, and it is here that
the meeting is being held. The can
didates are circulating among the
members, button holing them right
and left in the effort to get votes
But the members aafe making few
pledges. This is worrying some of
the candidates. for it makes it look
like an independent vote when the
time comes to make a selection
Senator Steve Fleming. of Fort
Wayne, blew in yesterday afternoon
and has been the busiest man in the
crowd ever since his arrival. Fleming
has engaged rooms at the Denison
during the session Of the legislature.
This has caused some comment. be-
cause the Denison is Taggart's hotel
and everybody knows that Taggart and
Fleming have been at outs for several
years. But the fact that Fleming will
live at the Denison need not arouse
any suspicion. There is no peace be.
tween them as far as is known now.
Representative John S. Sweeney, of
Tell City. was one of the early arriv-
ais for the conference. and he made it
known at once that he inteded to do
all in his power to bring about a re-
peal of the county option law. He says
he will introduce a bill for that pur-
pose early in the session and he claims
it will pass.

with Shively and he is doing some tall
roofing for him. He says he hopes to
see Shively elected senator and he be-
lieves he has a good chance.
Conn Is Silent. :
But nothing is heard of c. G.. Conn,
of Elkhart, who had a boom for min
utes one day a couple of weeks ago.
There was a symptom at that time that
Conn might decide to get into the
fight and try to land the place, and
this prospect proved pleasant for the
grafters who always hang around a
candidate that has money. A good
many people rather expected Conn to
show up at this meeting and look the
ground over, but he did not show up,
and this is taken to mean that he will
not be a candidate.
Kuhn for Governor.
T. H. Kuhn, of Richmond, who
came so near to being elected to con-
gress from the Sixth district that he
scared the republicans into fits of
fright, is here circulating among the
legislators and distributing his smile
But he says he is not a candidate for
senator. There was talk some time
ago that he might stand where the
lightning could find him, but he says
1t was false alarm and that he is not
after the job. He is merely mixing
around among the boys, getting better
acquainted. And there are some who
say that in refusing to get into the
race for senator, he has paved the way
that leads toward the nomination for
governor in four years. And why
not? Take this from me: If l.. Ert
Slack is defeated for United States SEN
ator this year, the fight for the dem
ocratic nomination for governor in
1912 will be between Slack and Kuhn
Things are shaping up that way. 1t
