udlueS mentioned IN COunbCLlOH Will
the office of United States marshal for
Indiana is that of George w. Cromer
of Muncie, former congressman from
the Eighth district. Cromer is an an
nounced candidate for the republican
nomination for circuit judge of Della
ware county and he is said to be max
ing vigorous race for the place. But
during the last few days talk has been
heard to the effect that an effort
would be made to land the marshal
ship for him. This is one of the best
offices in the gift of Senator Beveridge.
Harry c. Petit is the present United
States marshal, but his term will ex-
pire within short time and it is gem
orally understood that a successor will
be appointed. The name of Cromer
is the only one that has been men
toned thus far in connection with the
place, but it is safe to assume that
plenty of applications have been filed
with Senator Beveridge for the office.
Dangerous Proposition.
AS is we'll known, there has been for
years so much party friction and fac
tional trouble in the Eighth district
that it is a dangerous proposition for
any republican to stick his finger into
it. therefore it is the belief that Mr..
Cromcr will go right ahead with his
candidacy for the circuit judgeship.
Stokes Jackson, democratic state
chairman, says it is his intention to
open the state headquarters in the Ply
THAN building this city, on March 10,
and from that time forward the demo-
cratic campaign will be carried for
ward with vigor. William +. Moore.
of this city, the secretary of the state
committee, will be actively in charge
of the state headquarters until the
campaign gets in full swing. Then
jackson will devote practically all of
his time to the campaign and the work
OF the committee.
Tippecanoe Fight On.
Now that Will r. Wood of Lafayette.
has finally determined that he will
again be candidate for the nomina-
ton for state senator from Benton and
Tippecanoe counties, the fight in Tip
pecanoe has opened up again. Sena-
tor Wood has been member of the
state senate for twelve years, and has
served longer in that body than any
other man ever did. He has never had
any difficulty in landing the nomina-
ton whenever he decided to run for It.
After the close of the last session
of the legislature Senator Wood said
he was undecided as to whether he
would run again for the senate. There
was talk to the effect that he might
run for the nomination for congress
against Congressman Crumpacker, but
this did not last long. Then 1t was
said that he would probably be can
didate for attorney general, and for
some time this boom looked very
promising. But it seems now that he
has laid aside all of these ambitions,
if he ever had them, for he has an
nounced that he will be a candidate
for denomination for the senator.
Are Not Satisfied.
Benton county republicans appar-
emily are not entirely satisfied with
this announcement, however, for they
declare that it is about time that Ben
ton county should have the nomina-
ton. e. L. Zeis, of Oxford, former
member of the house of representa-
tives, Is talked of as a candidate for
the nomination against Wood. Alva
o. Reser, of Lafayette, recorder of
Tippecanoe county and former MEM
Der of the house. and George H. Ogles-
by, of Tippecanoe county, a farmer
also are talked of as candidates
against Wood. But it is practically
conceded that Senator Wood has the
machinery and that he will probably
be able to land the nomination again.
Alexander &. Cavins, assistant at
torney general, has announced himself
as a candidate for the republican nom-
ination for attorney general to sue
coed James Bingham. Mr.. Cavins was
Il member of the state senate from vi
20 county prior to his taking the Of
flee of assistant attorney general. and
during the two sessions that he serv-
ed in the senate he was a leader of
the majority side. He is counted an
able lawyer. The only other avowed
candidate for attorney general up to
this time is William Bosom. of this
city. who made his announcement
some months ago. NJ l.. Clawson. of
this city. talked of coming out for the
nomination some time ago, but recent
~ he announced that he is candidate
for the republican congressional nom-
ination in the Seventh district, and
he is making an active fight for that
place.
Cox Also Candidate.
Linton A. Cox of this city, the faith
er of the law which gave Indianapolis
sixty cent gas. also is candidate
for the nomination for congress, and
it is believed that Caleb S. Denny.
former mayor of indianapolis, also
will get in the race for the nomination.
although he has not yet made his an
nouncement.
e. s. Shumaker. state superintend-
ent of the Anti-Saloon League, has
given out a statement in which he
says that the league will take an act
i've part in the selection of candidate
of both parties for the legislature this
year. and that Carl Minton. attorney
for the Anti-saloon League and chair
man of the legislative committee. will
