These followed a short address by
Chairman CLANCY. who spoke when
taking the gavel from Congressman
Overstreet. All the speakers aroused
great enthusiasm, particularly Senator
Beveridge and Givernor Hanly. The
latter was followed closely as the word
mad gone forth that he would say
things worth hearing.
Must be Postponed.
1t had been hoped that the committee
en- resolutions might be ready to re-
port a platform before adjournment
but opinion existed that this would
have to go over until tomorrow morn
ing The temperance plank, it is pre-
dicted, will be for a local option law
with the county as a unit, the proposed
law to be supplementary to the present
remonstrance laws. This is exactly
what the temperance and anti-saloon
forces of the state had been seeking
The brewers and liquor dealers wore
doing everything in their power to
bring out q declaration less specific
and less sweeping and it was possible
that a disagreement among the mem
bers of the resolution committee would
be followed by a fight on the conven-
ton floors.
Temperance Forces Meet.
The temperance forces were de-
termined to thrash the matter out in
open convention If they did not get
what they desired from the committee.
The platform will also indorse the
state and national administrations; 1t
will declare for a revision of the tariff
| Immediately after the presidential
election and commend forestization,
improvement of the waterways, econ
omy in public administration of affairs,
antitrust activity, etc.
VIII IndOrse Fairbanks.
The platform will indorse Vice Fresi-
! dent Fairbanks for the presidency and
instruct the Indiana delegates to the
national convention at Chicago to vote
for the vice president as long as he
may wish their support
Ante nomination talk today was to
the effect that James z. Watson, of
Rushville, or Hugh Miller, of Column
bus, would come up the most for
| midable for the governorship It was
doped that Watson would lead on the
| first ballot. His friends asserted that
he would cross the dead line on the sec
ond ballot This was vigorously denied
by Charles w. Miller, of Goshen, who
declared that he would be close be-
hind Watson on the first ballot, that
he would tie him on the second, pass
him on the third and win out on the
fourth.
Hugh Miller's friends were declaring
that he held the same fortuitous po-
sition held by Thomas e. Marshall last
week; that Watson and Charles Miller
would get into a deadlock and that the
party would have to seek a candidate
distasteful to neither faction.

Dynamite Goes Off.

Storing dynamite in manholes is not
a very safe proposition. but just the
same it was done by workmen who
were putting in water pipes in Calu-
met Heights. Three boxes of the dyna-
mite were stored in one of the man
holes. and today man was sent to
take them away. The whole hill was
in danger, while the explosive was
stored there, but nobody knew It was
there. It might have caused consider
able loss of life and many hundred Of
dollars of damage to property if it was
touched of.

Another evidence that spring is

the existing conditions. Some of the
prettiest designs of wall paper in town
