Indianapolis, Ind, Oct . 22.-Therc
was talk for a time to the effect that
Carl Riddick, of Winamac, had decided
to stay out of the race for the republic
can nomination for secretary of state
next year, and that r. G.. Tucker, of
this city, would probably be the only
candidate for the place: Just WHERE
this story started is not known, but il
has gained some circulation. Mr..
Riddick has not been in this city for
some months. and certainly he has
not told any here that he did not
expect to be in the race. He is the
secretary OF the republican state COM
mittee, which position he has held for
several years, and there is no man in
h state more widely known among
the party workers than he. When he
let it be known some time ago that he
might go after the nomination for Sec
rotary of state ne received much en-
couragement from politicians through
out the state, but he did not make any
announcement as to whether or not ne
would be q candidate.
No Definite Dope.
Then the story got around in some
way that he would not be in the race.
While nothing definite is known as 70
his Intentions, it is known that Rid
dick wrote a letter to a friend in this
city a short time ago and in it he indi
Gated that he had not decided to stay
out of the race. OF course, the real
fact of his intention will not be known
until he chooses to speak for himself.
Mr.. Tucker is the only other candidate
mentioned for the place thus far, and
constitute the field.
State Senator Billy Springer, of
Bartholomew county, was in town a
day or two ago, and made inquiries as
to whether any new candidates for the
republican nomination for state treas
urer had been heard of. He found
that there were still three candidates
for the place, Jonce Monyhan, of Or
leans; Jacob Joel, Of Charlottesville,
and himself. A good many people are
wondering whether John w. Dyer, of
Lake county, will get into the race for
state treasurer again, but the opinion
seems to be that Dyer is out of politics.
and that he will not again shy his cas-
tor into the ring. Dyer's withdrawal!
from the fight for the nomination in
1906, un~questionably brought about
the nomination of Oscar Hadley.
though Dyer at that time had a large
following. Had he remained in thu
race, a different story might have been
told.
Springer is merely keeping his eye
open and looking around as he goes
over the state, to see that nothing gets
away to the other fellows.
Il am not saying anything" he said.
Il believe it is good policy to wait un-
til you are ready to go after a thing,
and hen go hard"
