HEMENWAY MAY
BE in THE RACE
is TALKED OF FOR REPUB-
LICAN NOMINATION
FOR GOVERNOR.
Even Crumpacker is Being Con-
sidered by Republicans in Con-
nection with the Nomin alton.

lanes a. Hemenway are dong a
good deal of talking about nonn-
mating him for governor IN
1912. In fact, the Hernenway
talk has taken on something like
a formidable aspect, but it 1t not
known yet whether it has met
with THE approval OF Hemenway
himself. Several times lately Re
publicans especially from the
southern part of the state, have
come down town and spread the
Hemenway gospel, and some OF
them have had willing listeners.
1t is known that Hemenway IS
going to take an active part in
the work OF recognizing the par
ty next year and in the compaign
OF 1910. He is one OF the hardest
workers in his party and he
knows the political game like a
book, SO his help next year will
be doubly welcome.
So far as is known Henenway
is not saying anything He IS
just waiting and allowing the talk
to spread OF its own accord II it
spreads at ALL But good many
Republicans throughout the state
believe he is too big man to
fridge along in the ranks. They
think he should be in position
where his ability can have full
sway
lanes F.. Watson is still saving
nothing. He is Just saving large
amount of wood, when it comes
TO discussing the nomination for
governor. PROFESSIONALLY lie has
a large following in the party
that would like to see him nom-
mated again. But whether he will
be candidate is a question. He
has bought a fine home in Rush
vile and has settled down in the
practice OF law, and it is said that
he has made more money in the
year that he has been out of con-
gress than he ever did in any one
year in congress. Watson was a
poor man until within the last
wear and it is said that ne is now
in comfortable circumstances. OF
course there will be much OF a
clearing UP in the situation in ge-
gard to the nomination for gov
ernor until it is known whether
Watson is going to run.
Charles w. Miller may not be
a candidate for governor in 1912
but this is not known to be a
fact. He has landed a good posi-
ton at $1,000 a year as United
States district attorney, and some
people believe that will keep him
out of the running for governor.
VIM. l.. Taylor, OF this city
former attorney general. is al
most certain to be in the race for
the nomination. He is quietly
looking around, picking up bit
of support here and there, and
when the time comes for holding
the convention he will be found
with hefty following
Former Governor Durbin also
wants to be governor. He doesn't
admit it, but some of his friend,
do. 1t is generally reported that
Colonel w. w. Huffman of An
derson is going around over the
state lining things up for Dur
bin but Huffman says he is in The
insurance business and that he i:
not paying any attention to poll
tics.
Fred Sims, secretary OF state
has many admirers who are try
ing to get him to run either To-
governor or for congress in tht
Ninth district, but Mr.. Sims say,
he will not be. candidate for any
thing next year.
The name of John {. Billheim
er, present auditor of state also i.
mentioned in connection with tn.
governorship. He is one OF tn,
very best organizers in the STATE
and would make a strong candi
date if he decides to go after it.
Hugh. Miller, former lieuten
ant governor, who was a candi
date for the nomination for gov
ernor last year, is also mentioned
again in that connection, as is al
so his fafher-in-law. Z. I. SWee
ney OF Columbus. the presen
fish and game commissioner. Blu
it is not at all likeIy that boil
will be in the race, though Mile
may decide to be a candidate.
Sid Conger of Shelbyville is an
other possibility. though he is no
saying anything. And there ha
been talk from time to time o
Congressman Crumpacker OF tn
Tenth district for governor, bu
some OF his friends say he woul
take the place because it worIh
mean the end OF his service il
congress.
Some of the friends of Charle
p. Lands of Delphi are talkinI
aborithim as a possibility for gov
ernor. RE served in congress 70
Is years, burt it is said that he i
doing so we'll in business that h
may not enter the political gam
again.
