situation In the first place, Miller is |
straight. regular Republican and |
always has been. In the second place
he has never been identified with any
personal faction in the party. and thus
has gained and held the good will of |
all of them. In addition he is a strong
toperance advocate, supporter of
county option. and this is the most i'm
portant of all considerations just as
this time, because there does not seem
to be question OF a doubt that the
Republican state platform will declare
in favor of the re-enactment of the
county option law.
Declined At First
Miller all along had declined to get
into the race for Governor on the
ground that he had too much private
business to attend to and did not care
to sacrifice his own interests for poll
tics. Another reason that has been re-
ported is that his family did not wish
him TO become candidate.
1t Is believed here, however, that
these objections will be removed and
that Miller's name will go before the
convention His friends and supper
ters are saying that IL the county op-
ton people are strong enough to put
county option plank in the platform
they will be strong enough to control
the nomination for Miller, and this Is
the view taken of 1t by many of the
politicians.
Lockwood A Radical.
! George B. Lockwood, of Marion, also
| Is candidate for the nomination and
he is even more radical county op-
ton man than Miller, and yet Lock
hos
ly step aside and throw his strength
to Miller in the convention IL the lat
ter will take the nomination. There
fore in the light of recent develop
ments IL looks more like Miller for
Governor than anyone else
Beveridge Dodging Honor.
| Albert ]. Beveridge is having hard
time of it to keep the third party con
vention next Thursday from nominal
+ Ing him for Governor He does not
want the nomination. according TO the
pest obtainable information, but they
seem determined to force it or him
II is said that this is one thing that
caused him TO hurry home from the
Maine woods at this time He wanted
TO head of the action of the third par
ty state convention. The fact IL that
IF Beveridge takes any nomination he
would prefer the nomination for vice
President, and there appears to be a
good chance for him to get II. If he is
not FORCED to take the nomination for
Governor.
