Indianapolis. Ian. ei.-There are
TWO conditions right now which indi-
cate that the republican party in In
diana is in pretty good shape and that
republican discord is fable The
first of these conditions is that SO
FAR as is known there has never been
an objection consequence TO any OF
the federal appoin iments which have
been made on the recommendation OF
Senator Reveridce. The other is that
so far as is known with a very few
exceptions harmony prevails in the
county organizations.
II is not apparent except TO those
who have been watching the Wash
!nSton reports pretty closely that Sen
ator Bevsridce has made a good MANY
Of his appointments. Every day or
Two dispatch comes from Washing
ton announcing the appointment of
several republican postmasters.
Are Made PieeemeaI.
Since these are made piecemeal and
not much space is given to them in
| the newspapers they do not attract
much attention. But they are bein:
made Just the same and the signifi-
cant part Of IL is that no complaints
lave been raised against any of the
appointments. AT least no reports OF
complaints have reached Senator Bev-
cridse's office and they probably
| would get there about the first place.
Senator Reveridye's friends say
| that they are not surprised that the
! appointments are proving satisfac-
tory because the senator has nut in
days and days of hard work studying
out the political conditions in the diff
! fertnt counties and has taken up each
case in an exhaustive way and after
taking all conditions into consider
. alton has tried TO appoint the mos:
satisfactory and best equipped man
for the place. appointments have no:
| been made. they point out To satisfy
any political rings or cliGues and as a
result the people believing that the
have not been disposed to complain
when there WAS some little thing that
did not exactly suit them
No Splits Are Probable
! County organizations are to be form
ed i'm all OF the counties within Che
next ten days and no report of any
serious split has been heard from any
county. In fact the indications are
that there is harmony among the rank
and file. There has been much spec
ulation as to what Is the Significance
of the fact that eleven out of the thir-
teen district chairmen are to be men
who have always been close to Sens-
tor Beveridge. The generally accepted
theory is that the republican leaders
understanding that Senator Beveridge
is at the helm now wish him to have
an organization which is entirely to
his liking. OF course those who are
inimical TO the interests of the party
like to say that Senator Beveridge
| has free sway because some of the
republican leaders are of a mind TO
lay down" on him.
! But regardless of all OF this specu-
!ation il is not seen how there can be
much dissatisfaction among the rank
and file when there are no contests
over the county organizations. II Is
in the county organization that the
rank and file gets busy and 1t is the
rank and file that counts on election
day and not the so-called leaders.
/ r. G. Leeds Favored.
! II has been suggested that the fol-
lowing men be on the executive COM
Inittee of the republican state COM
mittee: James A. Hemenway. James
T.. Watson. Hol Shideler. Winfield
Durbin. Charles Landis, Charles Remy.
James p. Goodrich, George B. Lock-
wood. George W. Cromer. Rudolph
Leeds and Charles W. Miller. 1t is ar
gued that a committee of twelve
would be about the proper size Such
plans are merely gossip however.
which is floating around the hotel lob
by these days and whether the COM
mittee will be framed up in that way
| is question.
| All Of the men named above are in
terested in the welfare of the republi-
can party but ii is doubtful il all OF
them will be able TO give the time to
take All active part in the affairs or
the state committee Mr. Goodrich
| for example is a very busy man. In
addition to being receiver for the c..
c. & l.. he and Harry Starr OF Rich
mond have just closed the deal for .
water works plant in one OF the larg-
er cities of the southern part Of the
state There may be others among
those named who win be pretty badly
tied up with business affairs.
Il Will Cause Trouble.
