Indianapolis. Aug. 25.-Dehnite- an
was made here yester-
day Of two important republican
will come to Indiana this fall and
make speeches in the interest of the
republican ticket 1t was given out
that Senator Clapp of Minnesota, who
10 one Of the strongest 81 the insurg-
emit senators. will spend the last week
of September in this state, and. that
he will make 40 many speeches as he
can in that time. It was also an
nounced that James r. GARFIELD Of
Ohio, former secretary of the interior
and one of the insurgent leaders. will
also come and make several speeches
Garfield gave out this information
himself at his home.
An effort was made to get these
men for a longer time than q week,
but the arrangements could not be
made because of the demand for
their services in other parts of the
country. But the state committee
feels that it 10 fortunate to get them
for even that length of time.
Responses are expected also in the
next few days fixing the definite time
that other prominent men can devote
to the Indiana campaign Senator
Cummins of Iowa. Senator Bristow OF
Kansas. and Senator Borah are 9TH
ers of the outsiders who. will be here
during the campaign. Their dates
have not been fixed, but they will be
soon.
1t has developed too. that Samuel
Gompers. president of the American
Federation Of Labor is an insurgent.
and that while he was making
speeches in Wisconsin recently he
took occasion to tell the organized la.
Dor voters of that state that they
ought to get out and whoop it up for
Lafollette for senator. Lafollette, as
everyone. knows. is the prince Of in
surgents. It is said that while Com
pers was in Milwaukee he advised the
followers of Mayor Seidel, OF that city
to follow this course. Seidel is the So
cialist who was elected mayor Of Mil
waukee by the aid of union labor
votes and 1t Is said that he can con-
troll $1,000 votes.
Indiana republicans are pleased at
the revelation in regard to Gompers,
for the democrats had announced with
q great blare of trumpets that he
would come into Indiana and make
democratic speeches this fall.
There is good prospect for a scrap
between Governor Marshall and the
democratic state committee over the
Robert ]. Alley on the democratic
state ticket for superintendent of pub
lie instruction. It is said that Alley
is not at all pleased with the Taggart
brewery domination of the party in
Indiana, and that this was one of the
reasons why he has given such SER
ious thought to accepting the position
of president Of the university of
Maine, which has been offered him.
There II NO doubt but that he will ac-
cept the offer and that he will go to
Maine leaving the place on the state
ticket vacant, to be llled by the state
committee. Alley has said that II he
accepts he will not leave Indiana be-
fore the first of December, because
there are matters in his ONCE which
he wishes to give his personal atten-
ton and which cannot be disposed of
before that date.
In case he leaves Indiana at that
time he win tender his resignation to
Governor Marshall. and It will be up
to the governor to appoint some one
to NIL the vacancy. Alleys term will
not expire until the first of next
March. It is said the Governor will
undertake to dictate to the state com
mittee whom 1t shall put on the ticket
in Alleys place because he will want
to have his appointee continue in Of.
Ace at the expiration OF Alleys term.
Therefore, It 10 said. he will insist
that the state committee name as the
candidate the man whom he will ap.
point to MI the vacancy.
But the state committee, run by
Taggart and the brewery crowd, will
probably not take kindly to this ar.
rangement. It will want to make its
own selection of the man to take the
place on the ticket. It will then in.
