and Alexander Cavins. both assistants
in the office of Attorney General
Bingham. may become candidates.
Whether Carl Riddick. of Winamac.
Will be a candidate for secretary Of
state is not yet known definitely. Soon
after the election last fall it was I'M
derstood that Riddick would be a can
didate. He is secretary Of the republic
can state committee, and has been for
several years, and he is one of the
most popular republicans in Indiana

whether he will be in the race or not.
His Sole Rival.
The only other candidate for this
nomination at this time, so far as is
known. is r. G. Tucker. of this city. a
newspaper man. Tucker has not made
his announcement, but he has been
talking the thing over with republicans

John Reed, deputy state auditor. will
probably not have any opposition for
the nomination for auditor, although
for time there was talk to the effect

solid with the old party organiza ton

Springer. who is member of the state
senate and also a national bank exam
liner, has been looking around to such
en- extent as to cause people to believe
that he has made UP his mind to enter

may not be his final decision, for it i:
known that strong influence is being
brought TO bear on him from over the
state to take the nomination again
Mr. McTurnan was the nominee las
year and was defeated by Robert J
Alley. democrat. by a few hundred
votes. No other name has been hearC
in connection with this nomination
and 1t is believed here that McTurnar
can have it If he wants it.
