ON SHOWING OF RECORD This Exposure Became Great Embarrassment to Idealistic Minds of Ball Moosers (By Ellis Searles.) Indianapolis, Sept. 24Bull Moosers In Marion county have not yet recovered from the stunning blow they received yesterday when Ulrlc Z.

Wiley made public his decision not to accept their nomination for congress. Mr Wiley's letter did not give any other reason than that he could not afford to give np his law practice to make a campaign could not even afford to give it up it elected. He still 'stuck to the fact that he wa a Bull Mooser and that he was in the Bull Moose party to stay. i When the Bull Moosers nominated Wiley more than a week ago they thought they had made a good strike. They thought he would be a strong candidate, because of the fact that he was formerly a Judge of the Appellate court and he is an able lawyer.

He was a resident of Benton county when he was elected judge some Wrearsago. But the Bull Moosers had an awak ening coming to them on the Wiley Matter. No sooner waa the nomlna tion made than local opponents' of the Bull, Moose began digging into Wiley's record, and when this was published in part it made such a sensation here that many persona thought Wiley surely Would resign as the nominee for congress and get off the ticket According to the published articles setting forth Wiley record he was regarded as a corporation judge while on the bench One of the Indianapolis newspapers published an article giving the details of some of hia de cisions In damage sqlts against rail road and other corporations and it showed that, in all of the cases mentioned Wiley's decisions favored the corporations and many of them were decided on the flimsiest technicalities. This aroused much sentiment against Wiley's candidacy. A number of other things were dug up against him, one belngr testimony, be gave before the Marlon county grand jury a.

few years ago when a local club was under Investigation for being a gambling house. Another matter was in connection with an Investigation of a case by the Marion county bar association None of these things were mention ed, however, by Wiley in his letter of withdrawal. But the general belief here Is that Wiley could not stand the fire that was being built under him and that to put a etop he got outvof the way td It. This view is ta ken, even by the Indianapolis Sun, a rabid Bull. Moose paper, owned by Rudolph Leeds, of Richmond one of the loudest Bull Moosers In the state.

The Sun takes the position that the party made a mistake In the nomina tion of Wiley and that it might as well admit It and fees up. The Bull Moosers have, called another convention for Thursday night of this week to nominate a successor to Wiley. But Indianapolis is not the only place where they are having their troubles. A dispatch from Fort Wayne says that George C. Grayless, nom inated by the Bull MooD9rs for county commissioner, has refused to run because he Is opposed to the idea of placing a third county tloket in the field in, Allen county.

Fred McClanahan, nominated by the Bull Moose for sheriff of Sullivan county, has resigned and refused to run, because, he says, he Is a Demo crat and not a Bull Moose. Theodore Harper, nominated for county treas urer, rerusea the nomination necause he Is a RepubllcanT Thie has thrown the Progressives tap In the air In Sullivan county. Another Jolt was given the third party by the African Methodist ference of Indiana, just held at Ko komo. This conference adopted a resolution that the conference deemed it unwise to denounce, or Indorse any political party and disclaiming all responsibility for reports that the delegates had Indorsed the candidacy of Roosevelt The Bull Moosers had started, a re port that the member of the conference had declared for Roosevelt, and this resolution was the conference's answer to that report In Decatur county the Progressives have finally decided not to put a third county ticket in the field. This decision came after a hard, bitter flghtlbetween the two factions of teh party, and the result is bound to leave bd feeling among them.
