AT STATE CAPITAL


Indianapolis. Ind. Sept 13.-Ever
since 1t became known that ]. Frank
Hanly, former governor, had not been
invited to make a speech or take any
part in the program al the conference
on law enforcement to be held in this
city next month. there has been a story
afioat TO the effect that there has been
break between Hanly and the Anti
Saloon league, and that this accounted
for the failure OF the managers of the
conference to invite Hanly TO make a
speech. The conference is being pro
NOTED by the officers of the AntiSaloon
league, although it is given out that
it will not be purely an anti-saloon
affair
The story of the break between the
league and the former governor, was
exploded Saturday, when it was an
nounced that Hanly. Samuel A. Art
man and r. c. Minton will go to Ohio
this week to take part in the cere-
monies at the opening of the new
printing plant installed by the Anti
Saloon league All three will make
speeches at the opening. but HanIy's
address will be the principal one of
the occasion. At the conclusion Of his
speech power will be turned on and
the printing plant will be in operation.
and will begin grinding out papers.
pamphlets, tracts. and other printed
matters in the interest Of the Anti
Saloon league, to be scattered all over
the United States.
Specially Equipped.
This printing plant is said to be
very fine one, thoroughly equipped
to print everything that the Anti Sa-
loon league will need in its campaigns
against the liquor traffic 1t was
bought and paid for exclusively with
money raised by the league itself. and
Is owned entirely by the league.
Little attention was paid here to the
report that Hanly and the nti-SaIoon
league had fallen out. for the story
was regarded as wholly unreasonable
and unlikely, and when the announce
ment was made that HanIy would 60
to Ohio for the dedication of the print
ing plant this became more apparent.
Samuel r. Artman, who will go with
him, is Hanlys law partner and is the
man who, while on the bench as cir
cult judge at Lebanon. decided that the
saloon is naturally a nuisance and that
It cannot be licensed under any cir
cumstances. This decision was rever-
sed by the supreme court. r. c. Min
ton. the other member of the party. is
the Indiana attorney for the Anti sa-
loon league and the head of the legis-
lattve committee.
Want NistIer to Make Race.
Strenuous efforts are being made
among some of the democrats OF the
state to induce State Santor Frank
Kistler. of Loga nsport to run for some
state office Some of them want him
to come out for governor, but Kistler |
has nipped that plan in the early bud
by declaring that he will not think of |
1t. Then some more of the faithful be-
lieve Kistler would make a good at
torney- general. and they are trying to |
get him into the race. Kistler was in |
town day or two ago. however and /
said he was not a candidate for any
thing. He did not say definitely that |
he would not accept the nomination for
attorney general. but he merely stated |
that he is not a candidate for any nom
ination and that he does not know that
he will be a candidate The folks in
his home county want him TO run
again for senate. but Kist1er said he
had not iiven the matter any thought
II Kistler should happen to get into
Sue race TOT attorney general, he would
find the field already pretty well filled
with candidates. Thomas Honan. of
Seymour speaker of the last house of
representatives. is seriously consider
ing getting into the race for the nom
nation. and former Senator Milburn, of
Jasper, also is a candidate. if his
friends can be believed. They are say
ing that he will so after the nomina-
ton hot foot and that he will certainly
land it. Milburn is well known in the
southern end of the state and will have
a big following for the nomination. II
is understood that Walter ]. Lott. Of
Muncie, who was the democratic NOM
inee for attorney general in the last
two campaigns. will not again be
candidate for the nomination.
VIII Have Strong Support.
Speaker Honan will have the sup
port OF the element that elected Ben
Jamin F. Shiveiy United States senator
When Honan was a candidate for
