fuli confidence. Emmett F. Branch Of
Martinsville. chairman of the state
speakers bureau. has just made a trim
TO Chicago to consult with the man
ayers of the republican national head
quarters in that city, in regard 70
speakers for the Indiana camnairn
and he has returned with the assur-
ances of the national officers that In
diana will be well taken care of in
this direction.
Many of the best speakers. men of
hationai prominence and leaders in
the party will be sent here by the ma
tional committee Mr. Branch said
they told him at Chicago that the ma :
tiona1 COMMITTEES has a list yard
long of prominent party leaders who
have volunteered their services for the
speaking campaign, and that they are
now being classified and assignments
are being made.
Among those who will come into
Indiana, according to promises made
10 Mr.. Branch, are Governor Hadley
OF Missouri. who was the Roosevelt
cor leader in the republican national
convention; Senator Borah of Idaho.
who was one of the strongest Roose-
welt supporters in the national con-
ventton; Senator La Toilette of wis
lconstn. who was a candidate for the
| nomination for president and who has
been camping on the Roosevelt trail:
Senator Cummins of Iowa, also a can
dfdate for president, and one of the
original insurgents. who was an in
surgent before many of the present
day loud talking insurgents under
stood the meaning Of the word; Sena-
tor Kenyon of Iowa, an able speaker
and thorough campaigner, who was
| chairman of the Republican national
convention These men and many
others will be sent into Indiana 1t
will be about the greatest lineup OF
| campaign orators that could be put
| together.
| Senator Borah refused to follow the
| lead of Roosevelt In his effort to
break up the republican party, but he
| is standing regular with his old party
All of the number, with the exception
| of Senator Root, were identified with
| the progressive element In the party
before the national convention. but
they are all remaining loyal to the
party and refusing to trail around
after the third termer.
Mr.. Branch says that there is a good
feeling at the national headquarters
and they told him that the situation
all over the country is improving ev-
cry day.
The date for the formal opening OF
the republican state campaign has not
yet been set. but 1t will probably be-
along toward the middle of the month
When the opening takes place 1t Il
hoped to have a speaker like Senator
Root or Senator La Toilette to make
the opening speech. The place for the
opening also has not been chosen.
Scores of local republican speakers
are already at work throughout tn,

the campaign will be full of oratory
Bull moose workers from over tn.
state were told yesterday by Edwin

held here. that It was necessary 70
the bull moosers to nominate count,
tickets in all of the counties of tn.
state. He still insisted on his origi
nal proposition that there must b.
separate tickets and no compromis,
with anybody. He set forth his rea
sons for this position, and while n,

over the matter It was evident from
the silence which followed his edic
, that 1t did not take well with them
The question of whether they shoul'

ever since Lee made his first demand
They fear that to do SO will driv

was so loud that it was thought LIE
