Name of Former Republican
Chairman Mentioned in
Washington.

Washinton, July IA new namo
has been sprung in Washington in con-
nection with the Indiana gubernatorial
nomination. 1t is the name of James
p Goodrich, former Republican state
chairmen.
Gossip connecting Mr.. Goodrich with
the nomination has followed President
Taft's recent visit to Indiana. The
members of the Taft party heard a
good deal of gubernatorial talk while
in tie Hoosier state.
President Taft. of course, would not
assume to suggest whom the people of
any state. unless 1t should be his own
state of Ohio, should nominate for any
office. and he will have no advice to
offer as to the next Republican nomina
tion for Governor of Indiana. but he Is
interested to the extent of hoping thai
the standard bearer will be some one
who can command the greatest possible
strength and whose candidacy would
give promise of success at the polls.

ticket.
From what they saw and heard in

party were impressed with the belief
that IL Mr. Goodrich would make tie
race he would prove strong candf-
date.
Regarded Fair Man.
They heard much to convince them
that Goodrich is regarded by all eie-
ments of the party as fair man,
whose services as state chairman were
not open to the suspicion of Partially
and whose fairness in that capacity
commended him to such impartial
judges as Harry s. New. Republican
national committeeman.
The Presidents personal opinion of
Goodrich was expressed in the brief
speech he made from the rear platform
at Winchester. Goodrich's home. A
stenographic report of that speech
would be highly interesting. but un-
fortunately the train stopped but for
moment and the President spoke so
hurriedly that no verbatim report was
made of his remarks.
