John w. Boehne will have = more en-

determined to effect his nomination;
you remember what we did in the con-
test for the speakership last winter
and you may expect US to repeat de-
clared Jack Brill, one of the we'll
known Democrats of this city to the
Palladium correspondent.
There may be q fly-by-night or a
nondescript here and there in the
First district, who for some peculiar
reason is opposed to Boehne, but they
won't count in the showing before the
state convention"
1t has been noised about that Mr..
Brill would prefer to use his energy in
behalf of some other candidate but
he vigorously denied the statement.
Solid For ooehne.
Get that out of your head, young
man." he said. The man who says
am insincere in my support of Boehne
ought to be examined for brainstorms
There is nothing to it. am for
BOehne and we are going to put him
across. When the First district ar
rives in Indianapolis for the conven-
ton next year, all doubt will be dis
PEELED. The opposition will fly for
their lives.
Brill limited that Boehne would get
a substantial vote from the Second,
Third, Fourth and Twelfth districts,
besides a solid delegation from the
First He was asked about State Sen
ator Stephen B. Fleming and his sup
posed opposition to Boehne. Brill
limited that Fleming would not oppose
Boehne and that the Evansville can
didate would get fair share of the
delegates from the Twelfth district
1t has been supposed that Boehne is
too dry" to suit Fleming.
From Boonville, the rumor has
reached Evansville that C. H. Hazen,
editor of the Boonville Democrat, is
opposed to Boehne. 1t was said that
Mr.. Boehne is held accountable for a
certain alleged failure of the politi
clans at Indianapolis to accord the
customary courtesies to Democratic
newspapers. HaZen, it is said, is an
old friend of Samuel w. Ralston and
his opposition to Boehne may have
been inspired by his friendship for
Ralston. He has made the statement
hat - ~ F{~l,
against Boehne in the First district.
Action Called Unfair.
The action Of the State Federation
of Labor In placing an Evansville
stove company in which Mr.. Boehne
is interested on the "We-Don't-Patron-
lie" list and In the reference to
Boehne in the convention was de-
nounced as grossly unfair by Jack
Brill.
"Boehne is a minority stockholder in
the concern" replied Brill, and the
people of Evansville we'll know that he
has nothing to do with the manage
ment of the company. AS matter Of
fact he is at loggerheads with the con-
trolling interests on other PROPOSE
tons and has been ignored complete
ly."
Brill scoffed at the suggestion that
union labor would seriously embar-
rass Boehne. He admitted that there
are 1000 union votes in Vanderburg
county but he asked, What do you
think they will amount to, in the elec-
ton of delegates to the state cOnven-
tion?" The charge made against
Boehne that he lobbied against the
child labor bill was denounced by AL
Veneman, last speaker OF the house
of representatives. Veneman said so
far as he knew, and that he would
have known if the facts were other.
wise, Boehne did not ask a single
member of the Vanderburg county
delegation to vote for or against the
child labor bill Venemann, by the
way, will be kept in reserve as candi-
date for congress in the First district
and his name will be sprung when the
first opportunity is presented to his
friends.
Scales for Congress.
DR.. r. D. Scales of Boonville, will
gress, it is said here. He is the pre-
sent district chairman. Scales has a
good record as pinch hitter for First
district Democracy but he is coal ope-
rator and there are rumors of opposi-
ton to him by the mine workers. II
state senator, w. B. Carleton were
able to enlist the support of the lead
ers, he probably would be the strong
est candidate because he would have
the hearty support of organized labor.
The Evansville crowd capable of pack.
ing precinct meetings and hypnotic
ing delegates, are not for Carleton.
however.
Evansville politicians have begun to
speculate concerning the issue OF the
mayoralty fight, two years hence.
John J. Nolan, who succeeded MIR.
Boehne as mayor when the latter was
elected to congress, is a candidate.
Ben Bosse, one of the largest furni-
ture manufacturers in the city, is be-
ing urged to become candidate. Both
men are prominent and allied with the
same political faction and business
crowd. Bosse has said he would not
enter q fight for the nomination.
