5000 PEOPLE WITNESS
PRIZE DISTRIBUTION.
Twenty-Five Prizes Donated by our Merchants--
Given away Tuesday through The Herald.
Big Crowd Assists Judges i'm Making Selection.
Perfect Order Maintained. Police greatly
Assist Management.

| Fully three thousand people wit
messed the distribution of the prizes
which were so kindly donated by the
merchants who advertise in the Her.
aid.
Long before the appointed hour of
o'clock the good natured crowd stas't-
ed to come. Many were at the corner
at one o'clock in order to secure a
good position, but the erection of the
big platform in front of the Herald
Office made it possible for every one to
see the maskers as they competed for
the prizes.
1t was not difficult for the judges to
select those who were lucky in win
ming the prizes as their decision was
reached only after the overwhelming
majority of the crowd had decided the
winners. This method was found to
be very successful and popular and was
resorted to in all cases where there
was any doubt.
The big crowd was very orderly and
the three officers detailed here had lit
tie trouble in maintaining order. Cor
poral Roussel was in charge and he
was ably assisted by Officers Prados
and LaCoste.
The management of the affair was
greatly assisted by the three officers,
who took much interest in the con-
tests. Corporal Roussell had charge
of the platform, Officer LaCoste had
charge of the gate and looked after the
young Americans, while Officer Prados
watched those on the stand to prevent
accident. The Herald extends thanks
to Inspector Reynolds and the three
officers.
During the awarding of the prizes
several marching clubs passed the
stand. The Olympia Carnival Club all
dressed in hobble skirts, headed by
brass band, made the best appearance
and were greatly applauded.
Mr.. A. Sidney Daniels, who was the
official announcer for the occasion,
had many witty things to say to the
crowd, which helped to keep them
smiling.
The following judges assisted the
,rowd in awarding the prizes: Mrs.
Nm. H. Weaver, Mrs. ]. E. Huckins,
drs. A. S. Daniels, DR.. A. c. King, DR..
Nm. H. Weaver and Mr.. E. w. Burgis.

Democratic chairman for the Thir :

old fashioned kind of Democrats and
he has been connected with the sta
organization for a long time. He is
recognized good worker and a

effort on foot to make him chairman
to succeed Stokes Jackson. But the
general understanding Is that no
change will be made until the commit :

Some humor is injected into the
Democratic situation in Indiana by the
announcement that Lieutenant Cover

there is no doubt for he has given out
the word himself that he would not
take the nomination.
The advent Of Parsons in the rare
for the Republican nomination would
probably mean also the entrance OF a
college president for the Decorate
nomination. There is a good deal of
talk aong the Democrats in favor of
the nomination of H. e. Brown. presi-

and the arguments used in his behalf
are the same as those used in boosting

Haute Parson has not made any an
nouncement of his candidacy, but his
friends are talking and they are say
ing that he would be good candidate
and that he will probably go before the
state convention as candidate for tn ,
nomination.
Indications are thar the Republicans

will surely be candidate. He. like
Parsons. has not said SO. but it is gen.
eraiYy understood among the politicians
that he is not allowing any grass TO
grow under his feet in shaping UP the
situation so as to land the nomination
He Has a great many friends. and
among them are some of the best poli

state. Some of these friends are men
who travel a great deal. and it IS
known that they are spreading the

Ana not only has the talk been COM

assured fact there that Duroin Will be

II Durbin openly announces himself
for the place there is no question but
that he will give the rest OF the cam

the nomination and that he might yet
decide to do SO. However, none of the
politicians are taking any stock in his
candidacy. for they do not believe he
would be a good candidate. Up to this
time nothing has transpired to change
the belief of those who have kept
track developments that the Democrats
will nominate Samuel NJ. Ralston for
the Governorship.
1t is expected that Republican poll

considerably at the conference which
will be held here on May 16 by the Re-
