He was a member of the house in the general assembly of1903, and a few months ago, when it was thought that he would be a candidatefor renomination and re-election, was considered as a probable candidatefor speaker of the house in 1905.His home paper, the Columbus Republican, says:Hugh Th. Miller is so well known in Columbus and Batholomew county,and in fact througliout the state, that he needs no introduction to the voters.His record as a member of the lower house of the last general assembly isone of which he can well be proud, as can also his constituents. He at onceforged to the front, and because of his work during the session was highlycomplimented by the Indianapolis papers. It was near the close of the s'essionthat, in the Indianapolis News, Booth Tarkington, a fellow representative,urged that he be returned to the next session of the assembly, and suggestedthe propriety of making him speaker of the house, a position he is wellquahfied to fill.Ever since the meeting of the last legislature he has been urged to enterthe race for lieutenant-governor. The fact that he now announces his candidacyis taken by his many friends to mean that his encouragement has beenof the enthusiastic and convincing kind, and he and they look with certaintyto his nomination. Those who oppose him will find him a worthy foeman,
