house caucus CONTINUES TODAY liidlanapoliH, Dec. 29-«j.R)-Hepub->lc«n members of the lower house of d'lv I,l,llana ’’Mature proceeded tolas with their preparations for the umhig session on the understanding that they should -be mindful of the hurtys platform promises, but would not be bound by them. I his was the understanding of their i obligation imparted by state Chairman E ta O. Rogers, at yesterday's session when he advised the 80 reptesentatives not to allow the Q, O. P. platform to be “crammed down their necks’’ by the republican state committee.

Little light was thrown on the probable selection of a speaker of the house. The prevailing attitude seemed to be that most of the members wanted to support the probable winner and would not commit themselves until they were confident ot who he would be. There also was some informal discussion of possible candidates for the majority floor leaders of the house, but it was taken for granted in most quarters that tills office would be filled by someone acceptable to the speaker and the new governor. Rogers’ utterances regarding the attitude of house members was considered significant in view of the divided opinion on the party’s platform pledge to amend the primary law in such away as to throw nominations for United States senators and governor into the state conventions and to provide for the nomination of representatives in congress through district conventions. No rebellion against Hie state committee was advocated by Rogers, who advised the conferees that “in all matters pertaining to administration we should back the governor to the limit.’’ “However,’’ lie added, “we don’t care to thrust the platform down your neck —you are as much interested as we are. If you have differences among yourselves, fight them out toe to toe and let that be the end of it.’’ Rogeis warned legislators who may claim indorsement of the state committee for their “pet measures” that such approval could come only from himself, Harry C. Fenton, secretary of the committee; committee members or Murray S. Parker, ThornUn, Rogeis' representatives. Three of the seven candidates for the speakership—Frank E. Wright, Indianapolis; Herbert H. Evans, Newcastle, and George W. Freeman, of Kokomo, addressed the conference briefly. All declared themselves in favor of carrying out platform pledges to the fullest possible extent. Final selection of the speaker will lie made in caucus Jan. 9, on the eve of the legislature. Al Snyder, candidate for principal clerk of the house, found no opposition at the meeting. Leland K. Fishback, candidate for secretary of the senate, also conferred with house members. Governor-elect Harry G. Leslie did not attend, but Bert C. Fuller, his campaign manager, and Bert Morgan, aide in the Leslie campaign camp, were on hand as was Thomas 11. Adims, Vincennes editor, who swung to Leslie's support in the campaign after opposing him in the primary.
