palladium Specially

while one hears of a new candidate
for republican nomination for a
state office. or of some one who is
just looking around to see how the
land lays. but there are only a few
avowed candidates for the various
places for which nominations are to
be made next fall. During the last
week only one new candidate was an
nounced and he is NJ. L. Clawson of
this city. who is thinking seriously Of
getting into the race for attorney gen.
eral. Clawson Is well known through
out the state by reason of the fact
that last year he made speaking
campaign that took him into nearly
every county. He is one OF those
hammer and tongs speakers who make
his audiences sit up and take notice.
He is prominent member of several
secret orders. He has not yet made
Ia definite announcement that he will
be candidate. but from what he has
said it is almost certain that he will
get into the race.
eosson In The Race.
William Bosson. also of this city. is
the avowed candidate for the nomin-
alton for attorney general. He made
his formal announcement some weeks
ago. and he is working on the job
right along. These are the only two
men whose names have been used
with any degree of definiteness in
this race. but 1t Is said that Edward
M. White and Alexander Cavins, both
assistants in the office Of the attorney
general Bingham, may become candi-
dates.
Whether Carl Riddick, Of Winamac.
will be candidate for secretary Of
state Is not yet known definitely
Soon after the election last fall it was
understood that Riddick would be a
candidate. He is secretary of the re-
publican state committee, and has
been for several years, and he is one
Of the most popular republicans in In
diana. But in the last several months
nothing has been heard from him on
the subject. and no one seems to
know whether he will be in the race
or not. The only ether candidate for
this nomination at this time. so far
as is known. Is r.. C. Tucker. of this
city, a newspaper man. Tucker has
not made his announcement, but he
has been talking the thing over with
Republicans from over the state and
has received a pile of letters a mile
high from workers who urge him to
get into the race.
John Reed. deputy state auditor will
probably not have any opposition for
the nomination for auditor, although
for a time there was talk to the eff.
feet that w. G. Oliver. Of Franklin,
might contest the place with him
Reed is solid With the old party organ.
ization in this state. and his fair meth.
lods of dealing with everybody, both In
and out of his party. have given him
a wide popularity. 1t is not believed
that Oliver will be a candidate
For State Treasurer.
Jacob Joel of Crawfordsville, Jonce
Manyhan. Of Orleans and w. T. Sprin.
ger of Elizabethtown. are the three
men who will most likely make the
race for the nomination for state
treasurer. Joel and Manyhan have
landed. Manyhan made his announce
ment as a candidate in an Orleans pa
per some time ago. Joel has practi
cally admitted that he will be a candi.
date, and Springer. who is a member
of the state senate and also a national
J bank examiner. has been looking
around to such an extent as to cause
people to believe that he has made
up his mind to enter.
Lawrence McTprnan said a few
days ago that he would not again be a
perintendent Of public instruction, but
this may not be his final decision. fol
it Is known that strong influence is
being brought to bear on him from
over the state to take the nomination
again Mr.. McTurnan was the nomi
nee last year and was defeated by
Robert J. Alley, democrat, by a few
hundred votes. No other name has
been heard in connection with this
nomination, and it is believed here
that McTurnan can have it II he
wants it.
10 Not Opposed.
No one has yet shown up to try to
take the nomination for clerk Of the
supreme court away from Ed Fftz
