named by Senator Beverage Is Samuel
J. Wilton of Greencastle, a practical
coal miner, who has climbed up from
handling a pick until he has become
superintendent of a coal company. His
affiliations have always been with the
Beveridge wing of the party.
J. Kelley Broyles of Muncie, who was
selected for the Eighth district, is cir
culation manager Of the Muncie Star,
which paper has a strong leaning to-
ward Beveridge. Broyles is a brilliant
fellow
No Opposition In the Ninth.
A. T. Claypool of Veedrsburg, in the
Ninth district. also is a Beveridge man.
He Is a competent and capable man.
and 1t is said that he was appointed
without the slightest opposition from
any source. although he is a Beveridge
man. There was no other candidate for
the place in the Ninth district so far
as can be learned. and the entire dis
trict seems to be satisfied with him.
IN the Eleventh district the super
visor Will be Harry l. Bendel OF Hunt
ington. Bendel is the district chairman
from the Eleventh district, and is
hard working party man who has been
identified with the Beveridge faction.
Not only was he district chairman but
he was also county chairman, succeed
ing Charles E. Wintrode, who died
few months ago. It was at the request
Of Wintrode during the last campaign
that Bendel took the county chairman
ship of his hands, as he was too Ill to
serve At that time Wintrode and Ben
del were both candidates for the Hunt
ington postmastership. and a part of
the deal for the Craftsmanship was that
Bendel should withdraw from that race
and allow Wintrode to have the office.
Wintrode died, however, before he
could be appointed. Bendel Is said to
be unpopular with the railroad men.
several hundred of whom live in Hunt
ington.
Popular FIT. Wayne Man Selected.
IN the Twelfth district, John w. Sale
Of Fort Wayne was selected for census
supervisor. Mr.. Sale is one Of the best
known business men in Fort Wayne,
and aside from the fact that is a con-
sistent follower Of Senator Beveridge,
his appointment would be entirely sat
isfactory to the republicans OF the
Twelfth district. so far as can be
| learned.
/ More complaint is hear dabout the ap-
polntment of Samuel R. Thomas of the
Thirteenth district than any other, and
1t is believed here that Senator Bev-
eridge Matched out a fine mess Of trou-
Bile for himself when he picked Thomas
1t IS said that Thomas is not the man
who was favored for the appointment
BY the South Bend republicans. but on
the other hand it is also said that the
rest of the district is satisfied. Mr.
Thomas is a real estate broker and
formerly was foreman of large man

Nominations Are Endorsed.
The appointment in the Seventh dis
trict has not caused much comment
for William l. Rice, the appointee, il
little known and so far as can b
learned has never been actively identi.
fed with any fatcion Of the party. He
is real estate broker in one of the
suburbs.
Just what the effect, if any. there
will be as result Of these selection.
by Senator Beveridge remains to b,
seen. Many fear that some mistake
have been made. but Senator Bev
eridge's friends insist that the list 3
census supervisors selected is a goo,
one. and that they will give good serv
