understanding that the coming CAM
paign will be busy one from the
standpoint OF the stump speaker. Pres
ent indications are that there will be
and about AZ many speeches made this
year as in any other campaign year,
whether presidential year or not Both
sides say they are preparing to storm
the works of the other side.
Senator Beveridge, it is understood,
will forego part of his vacation the
coming summer and spend practically
all of his time In this state. making
a speaking campaign which will carry
him into every county. There is no
man in the country that can stand
more hard work than he can. and he is
going to have chance to prove 1t this
year, for he is to be the big card of the
season in the republican fight It is
understood that a number of speakers
from outside the state will be brought
in to help the republican campaign,
also, and that some of them will be in
surgent congressman and senators who
will come in and expound the tariff
views which they hold and which Sem
ator Beveridge holds.
He May BE Chairman.
It is:ssaid that w4usH- Hays sof SuE
livan will be the chairman of the re-
publican speakers bureau during the
coming campaign, though 1t is not def
initely settled yet. Hays was the
chairman Of the speakers bureau two
years ago and four years ago, and
knows the game like book. His
work in those two campaigns won for
him great praise because of the excel
lent manner in which he handled the
speaking part of the campaign. He
brought in from outside a large num-
Der of noted spellbinders, and these,
together with the Indiana republicans
who volunteered to go into the cam
paign, gave Hays list of speakers,
the like of which has not been seen in
many a day. And he placed them to
good advantage throughout the cam
paign.
Hays was the permanent secretary of
the republican state convention this
week, and again won high praise for
his work. He is one of the best known
young republicans in the state.
Can't Lose the Democrats.
The democrats say they will not be
behind the republicans in the matter
Of making q speaking campaign this
year. Bert Hendren, of Linton, has
already been selected at the chairman
of the democratic speakers bureau, and
is ready to jump into the job at a mo-
ment's notice. He is son of Gilbert
Hendren, OF Bloomfield, who has been
chairman of the speakers bureau Of
the democratic state committee for sew
| eral campaigns. Gil Hendren worked
| like a beaver in this work, and his son
Bert, says he will do the same. He
came to town yesterday for confer
ence with State Chairman Jackson in
regard to campaign arrangements, and
the two spent some time together.
Gilbert H Hendren is thinking seri-
ously Of becoming q candidate for the
democratic nomination for clerk OF the
| supreme court There are already two
candidates for this place, ]. Fred
France Of Huntington, and A. ]. Behy-
mer of Elwood.
