POLITICS
ON IN BOTH
THE CAMPS
CONTINUED from rage ono,

man and a hard working republican.
Much of his strength lies in the fact
that he is popular with the laboring
people Before he became lawyer /
he was a railroad fireman, and in that /
way became identified with the labor ,
interests of the state.
The name of Judge Owen n. Heaton. I
of Fort Wayne. is one of those heard +
in connection with the governorship. /
also. Judge Heaton was the nominee !
for Congress in the Twelfth district
last fall, and made good race. in the
face of the Democratic landslide He
is counted an able man and strong |
gubernatorial timber.
story was told a few days ago to |
the effect that Newton w. Gilbert was
returning from the Philippines to look
over the situation and make up ms
mind whether he would become a can
didate for Governor. Gilbert is from
the Twelfth district, having formerly
lived at Angola. but whose home now
Is at Fort Wayne He was congress
man from the Twelfth district for
several years, and also was speaker
of the Indiana house of representa-
tives. He was appointed a judge Of
the United States court in the Phillip
pines and later was made vice governor
OF tho Philippines. which office he now
holds. Whether he will be a candidate
not viii not be known until he ar
rives and looks over the field.
1t is taken as an accepted fact that
former Senator Beveridge will not be
a candidate for Governor. He made 1t
plain some time ago that he would not
and he has not said anything since 10
cause one to think he had changed his
mind In fact, he is not believed TO DE
a candidate for any office. but whether
he will always remain out of it is
still a question
James p. Goodrich, who was repub-
lican state chairman for ten years is
another whose name is mentioned in
connection with the governors hip \ but
Goodrich says he is out of politics and
that he IS too busy to take an active
part. He Is one of the best known
party men in the state.
One of the names mentioned is that
OF Fred A. Sims. former secretary of
state and just appointed by Governor
Marshall as member OF the state tax
board. Mr.. Sims has not said anything
on the subject himself but his friends
are doing a great deal of talking for
him and urging him for the place He
Is one of the cleanest politicians in In
diana and stands high in the party.
His home is at Frankfort.
There is no likelihood that James F..
Watson will be a candidate again Tor
the nomination. He is busy making
money at hard work in his law prac-
tice.
Charles B. lands. of Delphi, former
congressman from the Ninth district,
might have landed the nomination for
L,,< h.
went to Wilmington. DEL and took a
lucrative position with the Dupont
powder company. and this puts him out
OF the running. He still retains his
home at Delphi, although he will be II
Delaware practically all of the time.
This is only partial ist OF those
who will be in the race. Others vii
drop in from time to time, and wher
the time come to make a nomination II
is safe to predict that there will be q
large field.
The talk about a presidential boon
for John w. Kern now comes from
Washington. but 1t has not yet assum
ed any dangerous proportions. Kerr
went to Nebraska a few days ago and
made a speech at a banquet and thi.
started the talk that he would be the
Bryan CnOlCe TOT the pfeS1uenCy mex
year The story was elaborated al
Washington, and then sent out broad
cast. Kern himself has not said any
thing about 1t and he is not expected tt
say anything OF course It Is taken
matter of course that Indiana could not
have two candidates for the Presi-
dency. and since Governor Marshall Il
being put forward as the Indiana can
didate, there will not be much room
for Kern or anyone else.
Kern brought back with him the in
formation that Bryan will attend tn,
jefferson day banquet in this city mex
month, and he will probably be one o
the main speakers.
There is good deal OF talk abou
this democratic ticket for next year:
For President, Woodrow Wilson. o
New Jersey.
For Vice President. Thomas r. Mar
shall. of Indiana.
This talk also comes largely from
Washington, but 1t has spread beyon
