CHICAGO, June 2-The outstand-
ing development of the day in the
ranks Of the Republican leaders now
on the ground. here was sharp de-
NAL from the managers OF the presi-
Dental boom of Charles w Fairbanks
of Indiana, that he would agree to run
for vice-president on a ticket headed
by Theodore Roosevelt. At the same
time the managers for former senator
Burton denied that he would throw
his strength to Roosevelt
OF equal importance was the po-
sition taken by W. Murray Crane,
former senator from Massachusetts,,
who declared he was very confident
that the nominee would not be Colonel
Roosevelt. This indicated that the
"old guard" leaders would serve notice
on the ProgressiYes that they would
not consent to the nomination of
Roosevelt
For the first time the plan Of cam
paign for the Roosevelt forces was in
the open. It comprised an elaborate
plan of grading and compromise. The
suggestion came directly from the
men close to the Progressive camp
that if the Republicans would accept

SAYS ROOSEVELT
WOULD SATISFY
JAMES WATSON

Walter s. Montgomery Of Shelby
vile, one of the leading Republican
politicians Of the state and chief lieu
tenant for James e. Watson during
the primary election campaign last
winter, was in the city today and was
very much interested in the report
sent out of Chicago regarding move
ment for the nomination of Theodore
Roosevelt as Republican presidential
candidate, and Charles w. Fairbanks
as candidate for vice president
Montgomery remarked that in his
opinion such a ticket would be a
mighty good one" Whether the In
diana G. o. P. organization was taking
any active part in putting across such
a ticket was not discussed by the
Shelbyville man.
81 believe Mr.. Watson would be
very we'll satisfied with Roosevelt as
the presidential nominee" Montgom-
cry said. He also declared that in his
opinion the country was now confront
ed with a crisis and that man Of
6OOS6V0lL CudIdCI0I was AcSOcO Ill
the White House.
Montgomery did not appear to be
the least surprised over the report in
dicating the side-tracking of the Fair
banks presidential candidacy in favor
of Roosevelt.
The Indianapolis Star, which has
been supporting the candidacy of Mr.
Fairbanks, today published the follow,
ing:
Roosevelt for president and Fair.
banks for vice president. This is the
sum total Of we'll laid plans in move
ment, we'll organized, which develop
ed in the political horizon today, the
formation of which promises to be one
of the neatest little coups of the com
ing Republican national convention al
Chicago. The authors of the move
ment have expressed confidence that
the Roosevelt Fairbanks slate would
afford a killing" so far as blending
the two factions in the Republican
party is concerned, not only in the
state of Indiana but the country a,
large, and especially in the middle
| west"

Had Booth Harrington, author Of
that peer Of human interest stories,
The Man From Home" been one OF
the audience OF some seven hundred
persons gathered at the Murray for
the second and final presentation of
the Senior class play last evening, he
(Tarkington,) would no doubt have
experienced a most enjoyable evening.
He would have left the theatre with
no feeling that his master work had
been taken In vain" by cast Of
young actors and actresses with no
other than high school theatrical ex-
perience.
To be more concise, Booth Tarhng-
ton would have been proud Of his
work that had enabled the 1915 class
Of the Richmond high school to score
the distinct hit.
Appeals to Audience.
The Man From Home" in four
acts, as presented by the Senior class,
was splendid. 1t appealed to its au-
dience; it set standard Of excellence
for R. H. S. theatricals.
The plot of the play, simple, yet
broad enough in it's scope to permit
the widest range of character inter.
probation, appealed to the audience be-
cause of it's simplicity. 1t appeals be-
cause it moved with incidents tinged
with human interest.
The play itself was admirably stag
ed. The cast was not hindered in its
work by limited stage facilities. And
it made the best of its opportunity.
| Centers About Pike.
The plot of the play centers about
| Daniel Voorhees, Pike, 'the man from
home" and his young ward, Ethel
Granger Simpson, daughter OF an old
Hoosier friend of Pike.
Ethel, imbued with the idea of arts
tocracy, is willing to transfer her

The man from home" Whitney

to a seasoned actor. His interpreta
