.H00SIER CHIEF
TO SPEAK TO
DC. WOMEN
By MARY PADGETT

The Woman'S National Demo
cratic Club will bring to a close
its dinner programs for the sea-
son Thursday when members and
their guests will have a closeup
of Indiana's Farmer-Governor, M.
Clifford Townsend, said to be a
strong possibility as the Hoosier
States choice for a place on the
National ticket in 1910.
Governor Townsend, a dirt
farmer" who is proud of it, rode
into power last fall after a spec
tacular battle for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination to sue
coed handsome Paul v. McNutt,
Uncle Sans chief representative
in the Philippines.
The Indiana governor has the
reputation of being one of the
most effective campaign orators
in the MiddleweSt and club men,
bers are looking forward to a
dramatic exposition of the where
fores of Indiana's support of
Roosevelt, Governor Townsend
having announced his subject for
the evening as why Indiana
Backs the New Deal"
It looks like Indiana's Farmer
Governor will have a record crowd
at the clubhouse Thursday eve
ming, to judge from the reserva-
lions pouring in, not only from
his Hoosier friends in Washing
ton, but from members from all
over the nation.
Washington apparently wants
to see the man whose name is
mentioned so frequently in con-
nection with 1910.
