Geo. B. Lockwood.

From Indiana comes intelli-
gence that the Hon. George b.
Lockwood, Private Secretary of
Vice President Fairbanks, is to
be a candidate for Congressional
honors in the Eleventh District
of that State. The Eleventh In
diana, consisting of the counties
of Blackford, Oass, Grant, Hunt
ington, Miami and Wabash, is
now represented by the Hon.
George w. Rauch, Democrat,
who received %, ,9SS votes, to 10,
S33 for Frederick lands, Repub b.
lican, and 1896 for l.. F. Pen
nington, Prohibitionist. A So
cialist candidate polled 6l6 votes.
Safe it is to say that with Re-
publican candidate in the field
like Geo. b. Lockwood, the Dis
trlct Will be redeemed.
With Charles Warren Fair
banks in the Presidential chair,
the Hon. Geo. B. Lockwood will,
in the House Of Representatives,
fill a position honorable and en-
viable. His ability, foresight
and judgment; his fairness, dis
elimination and culture his ami
ability, trustworthiness and reli-
ability will make him at once a
conspicuous figure in Congress.
His will be from the beginning a
career of distinction and influ-
ence. Free from empty spectac-
ularism, replete will it be with
most worthy achievements. In
diana has sent many worthy
son to Congress. The councils OF
the Nation have been enrich
ed and fortified by their power,
their resources and their sue
cesses.
To the successes of the Hon.
Geo. b. Lockwood we can set no
limit. We would not if we could /;
and could not if we would. In
diana has given the country il
lustrious Speakers of the Nation
al House of Representatives, dis
tinguished United States Sena-
tors and renowned Chief Mag
istrates. With such men at
call as Geo. 3. toekWood1 the
Hoosier" State is certainly
we'll equipped to place the re-
public under further debt in ev-
cry one of these noteworthy re-
spects.

An OdiOuS Federal Machine

From Washington the follow
ing is given out:
"Capers and Hitchcock are tagg-
ed and are working for Taft sure
enough.
1t transpires that when the de-
partments closed for the New Year
holiday, Commissioned of Internal
Revenue Capers and First Assistant
Postmaster General Hitchcock, in
the formers office held an import
ant conference. which eLded in an
agreement that they would do all
they could to aid the nomination of
Secretary Taft for president. This
means the delivery 20 Taft of the
delegates gathered originally for
the third term and subsequently
turned toward Cortelyou. Since
Capers has been at the head of the
internal revenue service, he has
practiced some effective politics. as
has Hitchcock, in his supervision OF
all postmasters appointed, with
this powerful leverage, controlling
things politically.
The entire federal office holding
section of the Republican party in
the South is expected to present a
solid front for Taft"

Forgot Her Back Hair.

DuSy, on Une one manu-, run
ming the Beckham campaign,
and, on the other, singing ditties
TO Taft, the Evening Post has
not moment to primp up her
back hair. Small details are, in
all such cases, very likely to be
neglected, even in matters of
grave moment. This truth has
forced itself on the ken of the
Post through an incident of re-
cent date, at once fOrceful and
instructive.
The Tlftites had planned care
fully for the seizing of the Re-
publican organization in Ken
tucky's metropolitan county of
Jefferson. The rape of the Sa-
bine virgins was to have occur
red at meeting of the Republi-
can City and County Executive
Committee, thirty-three of the
forty members present. Here
is what happened. We give the
Courier-Journal's words:
THE contention was over the
election of an Advisory Commit
tee. which has the appointing of
the Campaign Committee, which
has the appointing of the Cam
paign Committee, and also the
Organization Committee. w.
Marshal Bullitt, DIR. T. II. Ba-
ker, Mark Gabhart, Mayor James
+. Herman F. Monroe, Andrew
Cowan, Burton Vance, Harry
Burnett, Allen Ramsey, David
w. Farliegh and DR.. Scott
Prather, Taft leaders, who as
pired to places on the Advisory
Committee, were fguratively
told to take back seats. and in
their stead were named men for
the committee who are staunch
supporters Fairbanks.
These men are Captain j. II.
Browning, DR.. Louis Ryans,
Philip Zoeller, Joseph Conkling
and Edward Hansberry. All of
these are also mem bers of the
Republican City and County EX-
ecutive Committee.
w. Marshall Bullitt and the
Mayor were rot present at the
meeting, but DR.. Baker was
there. He got in late, however,
and had not an opportunity to
vote. Mayor Grinstead receiv-
ed seven votes, Herman f. Mon
roe received six votes and w.
Marshall Bullitt received five
votes out of all that were cast.
The defeat of w. Marshall
Bullitt and those with, him who
aspired TO places on the Repub-
lican Advisory Committee is
looked upon as a decided throw
down for Mr.. Taft, so far as the
Louisville and jefferson county
Republicans are concerned. 1t
means that the Fairbanks forces
are To have absolute control of
the party organization here, and
viii naturally throw all the par
ty's support to Mr.. Fairbanks.
w. Marshall Bullitt is looked
upon as one Of the principal Taft
leaders in Kentucky"
The Taft boom in Kentucky,
tied on to the Beckham belamed
and beclouded airship, has no
firm hold in any part of the State
outside of the Evening Post
Office and the appurtenances
there unto belonging. OF that
unfortunate boom it may be
said: y

And nothing could improve her,

fornia between the dates of Decem Der

claim is under consideration by Mr..

The president says in his letter that
he feels that 1t is an act of justice to
act generously in, this matter, as in no

BOOKMAKERS ARE UP
TWENTY-TWO INDICTED BY NEW
 YORK GRAND JURY.
Minimum Penalty in the Cases ls One Year in Prison-ATen in Court
 and Make Bond.

New York, July Establishments which if sustained on trial, may send twenty-two men, charged with book making, to jail for one year each, were reported by the Kings County grand jury today under the recently enacted anti-betting laws.
 The indictments followed an inquiry extending over several days and mark ed the culmination of the enforcement measures adopted by the Kings County authorities immediately after the pas- sage of the law at special session of the legislature, which had been con- vened by Governor Hughes after the bills failed of passage at the regular session.
 Under the law, which makes the of- fense charged in the indictments mis- demeanors, only a prison sentence may be imposed on conviction.
 The news of the indictments became known before they were reported to the court became apparent when 1t was found that everyone of the twenty-two men named by the grand jury was present in court when the jury's report was made. They were accompanied by counsel and all expressed desire to enter pleas to the indictments at once. Of the twenty-five indicted three are members. of the Metropolitan Turf As- socfAtion, an organization of book
 
 Orlando A. Jones and Edward J. Cal Iahan. Another. George E. Lichtenn- stei. is a brother of Sol Lichtenstein, long one of the most prominent book makers on the American turf. All the men were operating open books at the Metropolitan tracks previous to the passage of the anti-gambling law. Ball in $500 each for the indicted men was furnished.
 The investigation was continued by the grand jury today, John Boden. sec- retary of the Brighton Beach Racing Association, being questioned with ref erence to any understanding or agree ment existing between the Association and the bookmakers.
 It has been charged that the book makers now pay the Association $2 on each race for certain privileges. Boden was asked 10 explain the na- ture of the privileges granted in re- turns for these payments.
