Indiana Lincoln league set meeting at Wabash February 12 13
Wabash hosts the Indiana Lincoln league on February 12 and 13. Wabash county Republicans back Will Adams for secretary of the organization. Congressman George W. Rauch, defeated in the Eleventh District, says he will vote against Joseph G. Cannon for speaker. Rauch’s election relied on Republican votes and his future course will be watched. Anti Watson Republicans may push labor opposition to Watson for governor, with a Hughes presidential boost seen among some, as union labor is viewed as opposing Taft and possibly criticizing Fairbanks. Watson forces claim union labor opposition could boost Watson in rural areas, though it may hurt him in some cities. A veteran Republican quips about shifting loyalties among candidates. Fairmount Journal notes Hugh T. Mudier has friends in Grant county and Miller’s record as strength. Democrats in Floyd county organize a Democratic club in New Albany to restore harmony and back Floyd in the party. A ruling in Modlin v Finley Geiger for custody of the Blackford county county superintendent is anticipated. Modlin has won in Grant circuit court and appeals are expected. Stephen Fleming of Fort Wayne is rumored to seek the Democratic joint senate nomination for Allen and Adams counties.
