Billy Papke is to receive guarantee
of 5000 for fighting Stanley Ketchel a
twenty-round battle at Jack Gleason's
club, in San Francisco, on the night of
November %. Jim Coffroth, the fight
promoter of Colma, CAL, offered Papke
a guarantee Of $1,000, but as Gleason
told T. e. Jones, manager Of Papke,
that he would give Billy $1,000 more
than Coffroth offered, Jones quickly

Messrs. H. Lancaster and K. Harms,
finely trained athletes, have started a
physical culture school. About the
time the sun is alleged to rise they
prance around the vicinity of Hawkins
pond. A few days ago they started a
physical culture school, but abandoned
it at 6 o'clock the following morning.
owing to the failure of their class to
report for duty. One pupils alarm

Jack Hayden, the Indianapolis out

A clever plot on the part of the
democratic organization to defeat Wal
ter S. Ratliff, republican candidate for
representative, was uncovered today by
hundreds of local business men receiv-
ing circular letters, mailed at Chicago.
picturing Mr.. Ratliff as a boodler and
scoundrel and avering that Frank
Swain. well known local republican
worker, was employed by Mr. Ratliff
during the legislature Of 1907 to do his
dirty work. The communication was
signed Civic League"
Secretary George Ballenger, of the
Wayne County Civic League. today
vigorously denied that the league was
responsible for this circular. and his
statement will not be doubted, because
1t would be absurd to presume that the
league would take such action against
Mr.. Ratliff two days after 1t had pub
licly endorsed his candidacy.
A cut, purporting to the reproduction
of a card written by Mr.. Ratliff, In
shown. This card reads:
Floyd Woods,
Room %, Denison Hotel:

wv. S. Ratliff."
That the card is deliberate forgery
is shown by the fact that the handwrit-
ing is not that of Mr.. Ratliff. Mr.. Rat
liff writes clear. Spencerian hand.
The writing on the card is cramped
and almost unreliable.
Below the cut the circular contains

To fully understand you must re-
member:
the room where the state brewers had
headquarters during the session OF the
legislature of 1907.
g Swain, whom Ratliff says to do
business with. was the man with long
whiskeas that Ratliff had appointed one
of the doorkeepers OF the house Of rep

ers predicted that Marion county will
give Republican plurality of not less
than 1000 to 10000.
Senator Hemenway and Congressman
Overstreet made short speeches to the
crowd at the auditorium before Taft
arrived. In his speech Hcmenway said
something that has attracted a good
deal of attention. He was pleading for
the election OF a Republican legislature
because the next legislature will elect a
United States senator, and the hold
over senators will two years from now
elect another senator. Hcmenway said
he was willing to be returned to the
senate, and then he added:
and Albert ]. Beverage must be re-
turned to the senate two years hence"
Just what is to become OF Governor
Hanly's boom for the senatorship was
not told, but with Hemenway pleading
for both himself and Beverage many
persons believed they could see where
the governors chances had faded.
All the speakers took the position
that the election of Bryan as president
would mean a stagnation of business
and a sudden stop to the progress of
the country. They showed that Bryan
has always been talker and not a
doer of things. They showed that his
visionary ideas would, If put into eff
feet, be ruinous. They showed that the
Republican party has always been the
friend of labor and they pointed to the
many benef1cent labor laws that have
been enacted throughout the country
by the Republican party.
Altogether the Taft visit to Indian
apolis was a success. Every one is
talking about it, and all admit that its
effect will be shown at the polls.
James p. Goodrich, chairman of the
state Republican committee, was In the
city yesterday but went to Chicago for
a conference with National Chairman
Hitchcock. 1t is said that at this con-
ference the national committee will
notify Goodrich of the amount OF
money that it has for Indiana with
which to finish the campaign, and
Goodrich will probably bring it back
with him. But it is said also that sum
will not be large

One of the candidates brief and
characteristic speeches of the day was

former President Harrison here, say

struggling on the narrow pavement
and pointed out-with the toe OF his
