CONGRESSIONAL FIGHTS EXPECTED Fifty-three Men In Indiana Are Seeking Nomination For Congressman Indianapolis, Ind, April l.l—(United Press) Indiana's congressional primary fights today loomed almost us an equal to the senatorial contests for intensity. Throughout the state, fifty-three men today are beginning the contest which they hope will result in their obtaining the nomination of the party with which they are affiliated. In the republican, ranks, only two men, Albert Vestal, incumbent from the eighth district and David Hogg, of Fort Wayne, incumbent from the tweltf district are without opposition. None of Indiana's three democratic incumbents are to have opposition in the primary fight. Arthur Greenwood, of Washington, is unopposed in the second district; Harry C. Canfield, of Batesville, wl.l win the fourth district democratic honors by default and the same is true in the case of Frank Gardner, of Scottsburg, who represents the third district. Four other democrats also are without opposition. Waldemar E. Eickoff, of Fort Wayne wil he unopposed in his race in the twelfth district while Harry Rhoades, of Gary, in the tenth , Virgil Simmons, of Bluffton in the eighth district and Henry W. Moore, of Terre Haute, in the fifth district will find their way to nomination unopposed. The hardest fight in the democratic ranks looms in the first district where William E. Wi’.osn, of Evansville, Samuel Newman, of Evansville, Harvey Harmon, of Princeton and William D. Hardy, of Evtfnsville are contesting for the honor of being the party's choice in the November elections. Indianapolis and Marion county, composing the seventh district will be the center of the republican party's bitterest contest for congressional honors. In that district five men are seeking the honor now held by Ralph E. Updike, who is asking re-nomination. The other aspirants are Merrill Moores, former representative, who bowed to Updike in the primaries two years ago; James Ogden, former Indianapolis corporation counsel: J. Roland Duvall and Morris Greenleaf. The democrats also will have a merry scrap in the eleventh district where David S. Ferguson of Covington, is battling with William Snodgrass, of Sheridan and Roy W. Adney, of Lebanon. In the sixth district, the fight will be hot fcr the democratic nomination although there ai'e only two candidates. Maurice Douglas, former state senator of Hatrock, Shelby county and William 11. Myers, of Connersville. The republicans also face a battle in the sixth district with the wet ami dry question as an issue. The dry side of the battle is represented by Richard Elliott of Connersville, a dry while Esther Griffin White, Richmond newspaperwoman, iias announced that she will seek nomination and election on a modification of the Volstead Act platform. Incidentally, Miss White is the only woman who is seeking a congression-
