The 1871 delegates who converge
on indianapolis next Tuesday will
have a plentitude of candidates and
prospective candidates. to consider.
Joseph Kyle, Gary, the unsuccess-
full nominee in 1882, apparently will
be unoppoSed for the Lieutenant
Governor post, an Office the Repub-
licans contend M. Clifford Town
send, Democratic incumbent, has
vacated by accepting another Office
in the McNutt reorganization Setup.
Mr.. Kyle is extremely popular in
the party and besides, it is pointed
out, he will get a nomination that
may be nothing more than legal
test.
Robinson Opposition Weak
While talk of opposition to Rob-
inSon continues because of his weird
charges hurled at the state COM
mittee, political observers insist
that Robinson has the delegate
strength and that none of the pros
pective senate contenders carry
enough weight to upset him.
Those most prominently men
toned as the incumbent senator's
opponents are George Barnard,
Newcastle, former public service
commission member; Gus Condo,
Marion attorney; Thomas Daley,
Indianapolis attorney; Gavin Payne,
Indianapolis broker and tax expert;
former Governor Harry G.. Leslie,
and former Lieutenant Governor
Harold Van Orman, Evansville.

others merely are strong proba-

unsuccessful nominee in 1892 E. E..

lector, and James Slain, Lafayette,
Tippecanoe county commissioner.
Thus far, the only state treasurer
candidate regarded as having any
strength is Charles Lang, Bedford,
former state senator.

Bloomfield, for clerk of the supreme
