The Hammond Athletic club met last
evening for the election of captain
of the 1903 football team, the first

honor temporarily. That is. he will be

In colleges where there is a team in
existence from one year to another 1t
is comparatively easy to pick a man

to make the team the following year.
For that reason ii is not necessary
to select temporary captain until all
of the players can be tried out. OF

of any of the members of the club that
Stevens will make the team. but the
precaution of electing him temporarily
was thought advisable.

would not be surprising. however. to
find Durbin in the race for the nomina
ton for governor when the time comes
to make the announcement.
Mr. New Is said to be entirely salts
factory to Beveridge for state chair
man, and 1t is believed that all other
factions in the party are thoroughly sat
isfied that he would be the proper man
for chairman. This unanimity of SEN
timent in his favor may have much to
do with causing him to make up his
mind to accept the place, and II he
gives his consent he will surely be
elected.
One of the changes that is likely to
be made in the reorganization of the
state committee is in the first district,
where Phelps Darby will probably be
succeeded by some other man. Darby
is one of the most popular young re-
publicans in the state and Is valuable
member of the state committee but it
is believed that he will be candidate
for a nomination next year, and If he
is he viii probably not be returned as
member of the state committee. His

man Boehne, democrat. Darby has the
republican organization in the first dis
trict solid behind him if he wants the
nomination. and 1t is believed by many

There is no other candidate, and 1t is
said that Haas will not run again for

no necessity for Senator Beverage to
seek to control the election of members
of the state committee. This is based
on the ground that he Will not have
any opposition as a candidate before
the next legislature, and that there
fore any committee that can carryIthe
state next year for the ticket will
also carry the state for Beveridge
Therefore, it is pointed out. Beveridge
could keep hands entirely of the reor-
ganization OF the committee without
taking any chances. but this would be
contrary to all political precedent. So
it may be assumed that he will have

SOUGHT BY PARTY
No Opposition Thus Far to Retention
of Harry S. New for Chairman of
State Republican Central Body
Phelps Darby May Not Be Re-
turned.
TIMES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITAL.


AT STATE CAPITAL.
Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 2S.-Organ-
ization matters are coming to the
front in both the republican and the
democratic state camps and It is ex-
pected that during the next two or
three months the plans for the reor-
ganization of the two state committees
and the conduct Of the next years cam
paign will be largely worked out. In
terest is added to this situation by the
arrival home a few days ago of Sena-
tor Beveridge, who had been awaited
by the other learders in order that
they might confer with him on the
subject of the reorganization Of the re-
publican state committee.
A long time ago senator Beveridge
let it be known that he was not going
to try to run the whole party or to die
tate everything in connection with par
ty management. 1t was realized after
the last election, when eleven demo
cratic congressman were elected in In
diana, that Senator Beveridge, the
only republican senator from this
state, would be In a position to exert
a wide influence on the make up of the
state committee If he should choose to
do so. 1t was pointed out that he had
the opportunity to build up formida-
BILE machine for himself or to take a
neutral ground and agree TO any plan
Of reorganization that would look the
best for the party and its chances of
success next year. 1t was said that
while the senator intended to look out
for himself in all things he had no in
tention Of trying to build machine at
the expense of anyone else or at the
expense of the chances Of the party.
VIII Try for Harmony.
1t is the general understanding that
Senator Beveridge is not going to seek
to eliminate any element in the reor-
ganization Of the state committee, but
rather that he will use his influence to
bring about a reorganization on the
lines that will give representation 10
every element in the party. 1t is along
these lines that many OF the party
leaders throughout the state will come
to town during the next few weeks
and talk things over and lay prelimi-
nary plans for working out the reor-
J ganization of the state committee at q
later date 1t looks like the coming

| political circles in this state.
Up to this time no opposition has
appeared to Harry S. New for chair
man of the republican state committee
and 1t is not believed that there will
be any opposition unless 1t comes from
Mr.. New himself. He is said to be en-
tirely satisfactory to all elements in
the party. and it is believed here that
| he Is the one man in the state who car
do this He is an able politician in ad-
dition to having the quality that will
| bring the party together. OF course
w. T. Durbin is one of the best poll.

If any member of the Bonanza
