Indianapolis, Ind., June 3. —(United Press) —A skirmish between wet and dry forces on the floor of the democratic state convention appeared as a possibility today. The resolutions committee last night rejected planks favoring a state referendum on the national dry law ( and condemning the state Wright bone dry law. ’ I Tlie attack of the liberals in the platform committee was led by John Eggeman, of Fort Weyne, who said ho was considering presenting a minority report tio jthu convention today seeking indorsement of the two rejected planks on the prohibition issue. I Eggeman indicated he was not satisfied with enactment of a “personal liberty” plank mildly criticizing present prohibition law enforcement metUods w hitch passed the resolutions body by a vote of 7 to 6. If ho submits a minority report of the resolutions committee to the convention on the two prohibition planks, twenty minutes debate will be allowed on both minority and majority reports. 1 “We oppose the spoliation of the sanctity of the homo by unlawful searches and seizures in violation of tlie constitution,” declared the “personal liberty" plank. Another convention tilt was in prospect over the inclusion of a plank declaring for religious freedom Walter Chambers, former state chairman and a member of tlie plat form committee, opposed the religious plank with the support of several other platform drafters. - Chambers took tlie attitude it w'as unnecessary again to rattle tlie Ku Klux Klan issue in Indiana politick.

Income tax proposal. Through the various planks of the I platform runs a current of opposition .to ecnlralizatiou of power m state and national governments. "Disregard of the principle that the , governmeul la beat which is nearest those governed has weakened the slates and the local communities and lias increased alarmingly the een- ) tralization of government," (he platii form declared. „ Framers of the plat form agreed that j the primary system should be al>and r oned in the selection of all stale cani. didates with optional' use in lesser onits of government. j' The platform reaffirmed the tra- . ditional policy of the party in favor. , of a tariff for revenue only but evaded the question at Issue between high t and low tariff democrats. s "Discriminatory tariff duties levied > by the republican |>arty are the prln- . cipal source of all the ills affecting agriculture in this country," the platI form asserted. Another plank called for maintenance of a good highway system free from poll leal influence. i Tlie platform declared against the i county unit .system ot school adminI istration and called for amendment of the absent voters' law to prevent abuse of the privilege. Proposal is made for a revision of the budget law to prevent the jugg Fihg of funds and to render extrava gance impossible. Shifting of state funds and increases of special taxes instead of economy in government were responsible for paying the state debt, the platform contends. Recommendation was made that ’ the state participate in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the cap- ' ture of Sort Sackville at Vincennes. Memorial resolutions in honor of the late Thomas R. Marshall anil Samuel M. Ralston were incorporated in the platform. I Members of the resolutions com mittee named at the district caucuses last night to draft the platform were?
