Indianapolis. June la man who 10
closely connected with the Republican
state organization denies the story
that was published q few days ago 10
the effect that the republican state
adopted q resolution not To
invite James e. Watson and James A.
Hemenway to make campaign speech
es this year until after they had sub
mitted their speeches for approval by
the committee. This man says that
no such action was taken. The story
said that resolution of this character
was introduced In = COMMITTEES meet
ing by Henry w. Bennett, district
chairman OF the Seventh district. and
that 1t was adopted. but that after.
ward Will H. Hays. committeeman
from the Second district. heard OF 1t
and induced the committee to change
its mind and rescind the action.
This man In denying that such .
resolution was adopted says that . res
olution was introduced along different
lines. This resolutions directed the Of
ficers Of the COMMITTEES to invite Wat
son and Hemenway to make speeches
during the campaign. according to this
man. He says It was introduced In al
good feeling and with tho kindliest
feeling toward Watson and Hemen-
way It was the purpose Of the COM
mittee, he says, TO invita- tAo1e two
A. = opGaEf - IA ~
the election OF the r6p0blitan stats
ticket, just as they have always done
before. He says there was no thought
of questioning their attitude this year
and that nothing was done for the pur-
pose of embarrassing them. But when
Hays heard that the resolution had
been adopted. he says. he pointed out
to the committee, that this action
might be construed rs reflection on
Watson and Hemenway and that
therefore 1t might prove embarrassing
to them in the future. He advised
that the resolution be rescinded. and
this was done. he says.
No Record Of Action.
The story. however. has been told
all around and In spite Of the denialo
there are many who believe that the
action taken vas about AZ was plhb-
lished. However, this may b. the &C
ton was rescinded % that there 10
nothing on record to show that any
thing was done.
There is still talk to the effect inst
Theodore Roosevelt either has been
or will be asked to make speeches In
Indiana during the campaign. but
there seems to be . disposition On the
part Of the leaders Of tho party to
wait until he lands In this country
this month before extending the invi.
tation. Evidently they want to wait
until he announces where he stands
ON the issues now before the country.
They would not want to ask him to
come into this or any other state 20
speak unless they knew s0mething
about what he would say. and he has
not made any statement along that
line.
May Invite Neosesslt.
There is q general belief that wlben
Roosevelt returns and states his posi-
with the Indiana idea. and II this 10
the case he viii undoubtedly Be asked
to come into this state and make -
many speeches ~ possible in the In
terest Of the ticket.
An interesting BIT Of democratic ops-
sip which has been going the rounds
is story to the effect that the Art
Saloon league. John w. Kern and Gov
ernOr Marshall have the same ideaO
in regard to the nomination of dry
democrats for the legislature this
year. It II not said that they are work
ing together. but It IL pointed ont tint
they are ali Of the opinion that TIE
democrats should nominate dry can
didates.
It is known that the Anti Saloon Iear
que is doing fts utmost 10 carry out
this plan, because Il wishes to Be In
a position to feel that the county op-
tion law will not be disturbed. no nat-
ter whether the democrats or the No
publicans control the next Legislature.
This ID the advice given to the temper
ance people Of the state in . recent
issue OF the American Issue, the OH
cial organ OF the 1ea&ue. and the Ten
p4fance people are working along that
line.
