last night at the First Baptist church
by DR.. w. H. Mckinney enrolment
secretary of the World Mission Expo

was announced as the speaker for the

TINES BUREAU
AT THE STATE CAPITAL.

indianapolis. Ind, Dec. 4. Demo-
cratic members of the house in the COM
ing legislature are doing enormous
lot of jockeying for positions on de-
sirable committees for the session.
About this time of the year they begin
to scheme around for the best appoint
ments and this struggle for places
crops out in the race for the speaker
ship. There are now nearly a dozen
candidates for speaker. OF course. some
of them do not expect to be elected,
but 1t would not be at all surprising
to md some of the more formidable
candidates holding places on the most
desirable and important committees
when the committee list for the house
is announced by the speaker
This appears to be perfectly regular
and legitimate. 1t is the only way the
member of the house has to make q
campaign for the committee appoint
ment where he thinks he can do the
most good or where he feels that he Is
best fitted to perform his duties. There
Is. of course, possibility that this
lofty purpose may not actuate every
man that starts out to be a candidate
for speaker. but 1t Is the purpose that
most OF them have in view.
There have been cases in history
| where men sought places on committees
| In order that they might make tn ses-
| sion profitable to themselves. but 1t Is
not believed that this Is the case with
any of the men now in the race for thu
/ speakership.

FOR COMMITTEE JOBS

speakership appear to be In earnest.
They are building their fences as best
they can, and all say they will stick to
the end OF the fight.
Up to this time Homer L. Cook, Rep
resentative from Marion county, has
the lead in the contest for the speaker
ship, and 1t begins to look like the
others cannot head him Off. He Is said
to have the support Of Thomas Tag
CART and the rest OF the machine poll
ticians, but he also has the support OF
many of the INSTRUMENTATION leaders.
and thus he Is sure of help from all
sides. He has never been tied up with
any faction in the party. and all are
friendly to him.
John Isenbarger. OF Wabash, another
candidate. was In this city yesterday
spreading the news of his candidacy
and later he went to the shrine at
French Lick. where. 1t seems. they all
go to consult the hight priest of the
party. They all seem to think this is
necessary.
II Mark Storen. OF Scottsburg. is a
candidate for speaker. which he says
he is not he viii be a formidable can
didate, because he is close to the state
organization. In fact. he is a part of
. it. But Storen has written letters
saying that he IL not candidate.
There ie talk Of Storen for the appoint
ment as United States Marshal but
whether he Will get this place remains
| to be seen.

! grounds. which has charge Of the state
house, has re-appointed Thomas f.

re-appointed all Of the force which he

several other progressive leaders &

Marion club in this city. The charge,
will be filed this week. The Marion
club is purely a republican organiza

The commercial club of Indiana
Harbor and East Chicago held meet
ing last night and Judge Walter ].
Riley for the Industrial committee re
ported on the new plants locating
here since the last meeting. These in
cluded the Champion Rivet company,
the new hot nut factory and the
Schlesinger Steel Company. The lat
ter, while located within the boundar-
les of Hammond, the committeeman
explained. was in reality nearer East
Chicago than Hammond. and East Chi
cago would therefore benefit quite as
much from it IL not more than would
Hammond.
C. E. Fowler of the Transportation
committee reported that he had been
notified by Superintendent J. X. Gray
of the South Shore line that he had
put on the early morning car to Gary
as requested by the Commercial Club.
John r. Farovid said that his COM
mittee had secured the signatures os

stitute the Great White Way of the

nounce the list of prizes offered.
c. e. Fowler stated that he had

that seems to stick in Jim's crop was
that the line would pass Barney Co.
hens property. This appeared to be
the unkindest cut of all.
An other objection that was brodght
up was that the franchise did not
specifically bind the companies to bould
bridges across the canal but had the
aldermen read the documents carefully.
they would have seen that the bond
which pledges them to do the work,
covers this point by implication. 1t
naturally follows that If the companies
pledge a forfeit OF $4,000 to complete
their work within a given period, the
bridges must constitute a part OF the
work, If bridges are necessary in the
completion of the project.
Alderman French presented a petit
ton signed by a number of property
owners in Chicago avenue, protesting
against third track in that thorough
fare west of Tod avenue.
The Gavit franchise was the first
brought up and most of the discussion
concerned this line. Before the meet
ing adjourned, however, tho Red Line
franchise was brought up and briefly
discussed.
