Claim Craig, Smith, Leading Candidates Supporters Claim Two Front-Runners.. Indianapolis, Apr. 30 —‘ (UP) Backers of George Craig and Iceland Sthith suggested today that rescheduling of the Republican's state convention may favor those two gubernatorial candidates. , Smith and Craig supporters claimed the two now are frontrunners in the stwen-way ralce for, governor. They said the G<)P state plan tp move up the convention from July 3 to Jitne 7 will give l five other candidates less time to whittle down their leads, j ._ The argument -of these biased Republicans ig based on this political axiom: "When a candidate is ahead, it’s much more difficult to stay ahead than to come from l>ehind,” Therefore, they speculated. Sens. John Van Ness of Valparaiso and Harold Handley Da Porte. Rep. AV. d. Hughes df s Fort: Wayne, Samuel Harrell of Indianapolis and Francis .McCarty of Brimfield will 'have to do some fancy'campaigning to overcome favoritism they claim for Craig and Smith among potential delegates. State chairman Cale Hplder will ask state committee members to approve the convention date switch Thursday. He said national committee' rules call for state conventions to be held least 30 ,days ( before the national get-to-gether. ' Jn 1948, the state . convention was held 10 days before the national. iind in 1944. 24 days before.' Holder was criticized by Gen. Dwight I). Eisenhower’s campaigners. who said\ the date was advanced to hurt Eisenhower's presidential bid and help Sen. Robert A.. Taft.
