indianapolis, March 23.-Republi-
cans from out in the state who are
dropping in at republican state head
quarters these days are unusually OPP
timistic. In fact it is seldom that a
pessimistic report reaches State
Chairman Lee and he is greatly en-
couraged over the outlook.
Among those who were at head
quarters yesterday was State Senator
William e. Springer of Elizabethtown
who has been spoken of for the NOM
ination for state treasurer. Mr.
Springer did not discuss his proposed
candidacy but he did say that con-
ditions In his section OF the state so
far as they related to the republicans,
are excellent. Frank T. Singleton of
Martinsville, formerly president of the
Indiana Republican Editorial associa-
ton also was at headquarters. Mr..
Singleton seemed to be greatly en-
couraged over the outlook
White 10 Confident.
Representative White of Parke
county also was in the city Mr..
White in all probability will be the
candidate for reelection. He says
that no republicans in his district
have any doubt but that the republi.
cans will be successful in sending
their nominee to the legislature
In fact reports that are received
from all parts of the state are to the
effect that the republican party is in
good condition now, and that there is
a great chance for success provided
| there is no backward movement be
tween now and the time for the cleo
tion
A good idea of conditions is gained
from the candidates who are travelling
| over the state. S. c. Terrell of Shell
byville who is a candidate for state
superintendent of public instruction
was at headquarters yesterday. Mr.
Ferrell Is greatly encouraged. He is
SO greatly encouraged in fact that he
will leave no stone unturned he says
In his effort to land the nomination.
Engaging Headquarters.
| Several of the candidates already
have engaged headquarters for the
convention at the Claypool hotel
among them Mr.. Terrell and John r
Carr of Marion county also a candi
date for state superintendent Of pub
lie instruction. Although the state
convention will last only one day it il
evident already that there will be the
usual exciting scenes around the Clay
pool on the day before the delegates
assemble.
It is believed that about all of the
the exception Of the candidate FOL
secretary Of state and one other can
didate for clerk of the supreme court
1t was said today that in all probable
ity George H. Bachelor of Indianapo
| lie, a law partner of Daniel Waite
Howe would get into the race fol
clerk OF the supreme court. Mr.. Batch
elor was the deputy when Robert A
Brown was clerk Of the supreme court
He held this position for eight years
So far Edward Fitzpatrick, the present
| clerk Of the supreme court is the only
announced candidate for that posi-
ton.
Larger Cities Count.
One encouraging condition for the
republicans is that the city admins
trations in Evansville, Fort Wayne
and indianapolis are republican
These are important cities and have
much to do with the political com
plexion OF their congressional dis
tricts.
Cox IL Nominated.
Linton A. Cox who, nominated by
the republicans for congress in the
Seventh district yesterday has been {
member of the state senate during the
