Edward Toner OF Anderson, candidate
for governor.
Only one of the active candidates for
office in Indiana, who is expected to file
petition asking that his name be placed
on the primary ballot. had failed to file
up to an early hour this afternoon. This
one is James W. Fesler Of Indianapolis
candidate for the republican nomination
for governor.
NO REPUBLICAN
FOR SENATORsHIP.
No republican candidate for senator has
fled a petition. Senator James F. Wat
son is candidate for reelection. but
It is probable that he will not file a
petition, it is said While Senator Wat
son is a candidate for reelection he is
also considered candidate for the presi-
dency, and he Is doing nothing which
might stand in the way of his being
nominated. His failure to file a petit
tons leaves the way open for a cam
paign for the presidency. On the other
hand, If he fears he will not be success
full in obtaining the nomination for the
presidency, it is certain he will be named
as the republican candidate for senator
at the state convntion.
1t appeared evident today that there
will be no contest in Indiana to obtain
the pledges Of the Indiana delegation
for the democratic nomination for the
presidency. Petitions for both William
G. McAdoo and Vice President Thomas
r Marshall have been signed but it
is believed neither win be filed.
The secretary of state has announced
that he will receive petitions as late IS
Saturday. The law. however. requires
that petitions be presented not later
than sixty days before the primary and
The candidates have filed their petitions
early to avoid any complications which
might result from late filing.
SESSION QUESTION
or BENEFIT.
The question Of whether a special ses-
sion is to be called is a question which
should not be decided on the basis of
whether the session will benefit a DO
htical party but rather whether 1t is
necessary to the public good, in the
opinion of DR.. Carleton B. McCulloeh.
candidate for the democratic nomination
for governor
j. w. Fesler of indianapolis a candi-
date for the republican nomination for
governor, has just returned from Morgan
county, where he has been comforting
with workers. He was expected to speak
before the Optimists club at the Clay
pool hotel at noon.
Petitions asking that the name of Ed
ward Toner of Anderson be placed on
the primary ballot as a candidate for
governor have been fled with the secre-
tary of state. The petitions bore 700 sig
natures. All the signers are residents of
Madison county. The McCray workers
filed petition bearing the names of 1900
residents of Newton county, where Mr.
McCray lives.
Workers at the Hiram Johnson head
quarters are pleased over the recent vote
In the United States senate on the treaty
They say the action of the senate indi-
Gates that the treaty viii be an issue in
the campaign. Senator johnson expects
to make his campaign on the basis of
oppoetion to the treaty.
