indianapolis, June 27.-It now seems
likely that the republican state COM
mittee will get together about the mid
die of next week-Thursday or per-
haps as late as Friday-to consider
the active work of the campaign. The
call for the meeting will be issued
not later than Monday it is said. At
this meeting the entire work of the
campaign will be gone over, and as
sgnments will be made to numerous
subcommittee. 1t is stated that the
party organization will be stimulated
in every possible way, as it is agreed
that the democrats will make stupen-
dous efforts to carry Indiana, especial
ly if John w. Kern should be nomin-
ated for the vice-presidency. Congress
sional nominees, district chairman and
even workers in the respective coun-
ties will be welcome at the meeting,
and there will be a thorough canvass
of conditions and prospects. The as
signment of spellbinders will be mat
ter of importance and they will be
weak spots.
All Not For Bryan.
While it has been the opinion of
many that most of those who refused
to support Bryan eight years ago are
in line for him now, it is interesting to
read what an implement manufacturer
of indianapolis said to your correspon-
dent on this matter. This is it:
Il am a democrat. | have consist
emily voted against Bryan and will do
so again. And my reasons are the
same as those that prompted my ac-
ton in other presidential elections.
ROOSEVELT has done many good, un-
popular things, but he has been right.
Taft is his choice and will carry out
his policies, no matter what may be
said of alliances with corporations and
trusts. If Bryan was unsafe before,
he is unsafe now. Once in the white
house he will attempt to foist on the
country his pet theories and will delay
perhaps for years. a revival of busi-
ness. His election in short. would be
disquieting influence that no amount
of faith in him could overcome. and
l prefer to move along the line that
is least antagonistic to my own inter-
ests, which are, think, identical with
the interests of thousands of others in
business life. l think you will find
that many of those-who have kept
aloof from Bryan-democrats, | mean
will again refuse to accept him and
will stay on the republican side of the
fence"
HanIy Takes No Action.
Gov. Hanly has not vet taken anv
action in regard to the exodus of gam
blers from Louisville to the north
bank of the Ohio in Floyd county.
where gambling camp has been es-
| tablished. He is making a thorough
investigation, however. and may act at
any moment. He will make use of the
states militia if the Floyd county Off
clals do not do their duty. and do it
promptly and the gamblers will be
run out of Indiana in a hurry when
| the move begins. Why they were ever
permitted to invade Indiana is a mys-
terry to the state officials as they feel
sure that the camp could not be estab-
lished without the knowledge of the
Floyd county sheriff
City Awaits Taft.
indianapolis is awaiting the word
| from William H. Taft, and there will
| be keen disappointment if he is not
| obtained as an exhibit for the corner
stone laying of the new Y. NJ. c. A.
oulldlng now in process of construc-
t1on. The invitation to attend has
been in the hands of Mr.. Taft for two
or three days and his answer is being
| anxiously awaited. The date for the
| ceremonies has been left to his con-
venlence, and it is likely that the time
VIII be set for some day in the third
week of July. 1t is intended that the
visit of the nominee shall be made
purely non-partisan. although he will
naturally fall into the hands of the DO
ltlcal organizations here for an infor-
NAL rece Dtion should the time spent
here permit any side attractions of the
Kind. Mr.. Taft has always interested
| himself in Y. NJ. c. A. affairs and has
the highest opinion of the organization
as being one of practical worth to the
young men of the country. and as the
| date is left open to meet his own
wishes, there is a strong hope that he
will accept. Should he consent to
come, the cere monies will be made
use of for a state rally of the organiza-
| ton.
