''Here Jack Reach has everything pre-
pared for that big scene in THE Grip of

blow-outs coming to the studio; my
wife 8 pet eat was sick all night; the

INDIANA FACING
HARD CAMPAIGN
With Nomination of HanIy by Pro-
hibitiOnists the Situation is Made
Mere Complex.

indianapolis, July 22.-The position
year has become more conspicuous
with the nomination of ]. Frank
-HanIy as the prohibition presidential
candidate at the convention in st. Paul
His nomination following that of
Charles w. Fairbanks as the republi-
can candidate for vice president and
that of Thomas r. Marshall, for the
same office on the democratic ticket
places the state in an unusual position
as a producer of presidential posi-
bilities.
Another political feature which has
caused Indiana to be referred to as the
''Verdun of the campaign is the fact
that two United States senators are to
be elected, one for the full term and
one to serve for four years.
Political leaders believe Indiana will
be one of the hardest fought battle
grounds of the campaign.
Mr. Hanly is a former republican
governor of the state and since he left
that office has practiced law and
fought the liquor interests. He was
the progressive candidate for gov
ernor, having been nominated at the
March primary. When the progressive
national convention failed to include
a prohibition plank in its platform,
however. Mr.. Hanly withdrew from
the state ticket He is So years old.
His residence is only a few blocks
from those of Mr.. Fairbanks and Vice
President Marshall.
