the bureau which was thrown
open for business this week.
No date has vet been set for
the real opening of the campaign
but Hendren and state chairman
Jackson have said that it would
be pulled off about the 18th of
the month. Governor Marshall
will probably be the keynote
speaker. 1t is expected that he
will make his opening speech at
some one of.the large cities in
the state most liksy at Fl Wayne
where he win be Sure OF big
crowd and much enthusiasm ard
red fire. 1t is the belief of the
party leaders that he ought to
make the opening speech at Fort
Wayne because that city is his
own. district.
Big List of Speakers
The Democrats have already
announced long list OF speakers
for the campaign. \ partial list
was given out: 1t is headed OF
course by w. ]. Bryan who will
spend a week in the state the lat
ter part OF October. Then There
will be ]. Ham Lewis OF Chicago;
fomer governor Joseph w. Folk
of Missouri; John ]. Lenyz OF
Ohio; the Rev. Sam Small. the
Georgia evangelist Samuel Com
ners. president OF the American
Federation of Labor; Champl
Clark, democratic leader in con-
gress; Senator Gore OF Oklahoma
and General James B. Weaver OF
iowa who was the greenback
candidate for president in 1881.
These will be the principal I'M
ported speakers though there are
some others under consideration
who may come in and give the !
Democrats pretty good list OF
spellbinders.
In addition to these men there
will be a large contingent OF
home grown speakers gathered
from all parts of this state ac-
cording to Hendren. Among the
home speakers THE leaders OF
course. will be Governor Mar
shall. Senator ShWely and John
w. Kern. 1)he governor will
be the recognized leader OF the
bunch, however, because the
Democrats have decided TO make
the campaign largely on the re-
cord of the Marshall administra-
sion. This will make it neces-
sary for the governor to take the
lead in that part o the fight. He
will discuss state ISSUES exclusive
w. so it is said, leaving it to
Senator Shively to take care OF
the national issues and to John
w. Kern, to handle little OF
both.
Bryan, it is said, will conhne
his Speeches entirely TO national
issues and paw NJ attention at
all ID STATE affairs unless some
one asks him to explain his doui-
bled barrel position on the county
option question in Nebraska and
Indiana. THE rest of the impor-
ted speeches will be devoted en-
t;relv to national issues alone.
Indiana Contributes Also.
There is said to be a large
number OF speakers that have
been chosen Ito speak in the
state. Samuel Rtlston of Lee
banon has signi6ed his willing
ness TO spend a good deal OF
time in the stump. Among the
others who will be active in the
campaign are ohm f. Lamb of
Terre Haute; Major G.. .Menzles
# Mount Vernon; Lieutenant
Governor Fran J. Hall of Rush
Vile and many others.
