Show Enthusiasm Indianapolis, June 29. — idJ.R) —A vigorous five-way race for the United States senate nomination an dhopes of capitalizing on opposition to new deal crop control measures in this agricultural center attracted the mokt wildly enthusiastic throng of a decade to the ' Republican party's Indiana nominating convention today. Not since 1928. when the G. O. P. was riding the crest of one of ■ their most lush eras, have Hoosier Republicans shown so much enthusiasm for the work as the 1,760 delegates gathered under the huge oval dome of their state fair grounds coliseum. The depression sobered the 1930 i convention. Two years later .the 1 party fell from power and into lean years. Rank and file voters antagonistic to the McNutt-founded Townsend state administration with its automobile windshield “gadget law and monopolistic liquo rcontrol, and the spread of a corn belt liberty league in opposition to the corn crop allotments, gave Republicans new hope today. More than an hour before the convention call to order was due. delegates began swarming through the sawdust of the fairgrounds arena which annually is the scene for showing Indiana's prize cattle tn the state fair. A band blared patriotic and "swing" music over the speaker s platform to entertain those who early filled the unreserved seats. Families of the five senate candidates occupied box seats on the rim of the arena. Marion county (Indianapolis) ■ whose 223 delegates comprised the largest single bloc, drew seats at the front and to the left of the speaker’s stand. o Weekly Band Concert Thursday Evening The weekly band concert will Ibe given Thursday night at 7:30 o’clock on the ramp at the county courthouse, under the direction of j Albert Sellemeyer.
