important developments of tn.
campaign work, thus far the for
mer vice-president is one of tht
popular men off the state anC
there are thousands of repdibli.
cans in Indiana, who follow his
lead.
About 100 republican leaders
attended the meeting, represent
ing all OF the elements and fac
tions in the party. They came
together on a common ground
and ALL entered into the discus
sion of plans for the redemption
of Indiana from the democrats
this fall. 1t was perhaps the
most important meeting that will
be held during the campaign, for
the plans (which were discussed
and adopted will be followed
throughout the Fight.
The announcement that Mr..

with much satisfaction by repub-
llcans all over the state. This
will mean that practically every
one of the national party leaders
will speak in Indiana. Theo-
dore Roosevelt has already made
one date for speech in Indian

not come to Indiana during the
campaign, because he has cancel

dates.
