Year-End Review Os State Politics Democrats Fail To Profit From Scrap INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — A bitter conflict raged among Indiana Republican bigwigs in 1954 but the Democrats failed surprisingly to profit from that struggle during the year. The only major GOP loss during the year was Abe eighth congressional district, Raptured hy Winfield K. Denton, Democrat, from Republican Congressman I). Bailey W UI - The Democrats made a cause celebre of the third district, home of their new national Chairman, Paul M. Butler, but were unable to unseat Republican Congressman Shepard J. Crumpacker. The other important aspect of the off-year election was the fact that the Republicans apparently retained the farm and small town vote blocs except in parts of Southern Indiana.-’ The GOP also held fast to majorities in both houses df the general assembly. However, Republican factionalism plus Democratic vote gains in both houses may make the Democrats the balance of power in the 1955 session. The past year saw Governor George N. Craig seize control of the Republican state organization from Senators Homer E. Capehart and William E. Jenner, largely through use of toll road patronage and substantial support from Republican Congressman Charles A. Halleck, of Rensselaer. The contest between Halleck aniFthe two senators over the two new federal judge appointments ended in a compromise during the year. The upshot of a factional battle and a deadlock that clogged Federal courts calendars for many months was the appointment Os Cale J. Holder, the Capehart-Jen-ner candidate, for one post -and of Lynn J. Parkinson,' the Halleck favorite, for the other. One of the strangest aspects of the year was the slowly-develop-ing indication that Governor Craig may not challenge Senator Capehart for renomination in 1956. Craig announced several times he has no senatorial ambitions hut that has been done before. The more important development was that, the governor boycotted attendance at a score of important Hoosier gatherings always attended by aspirants for higher office in the past. They included the Indiana state tair, the- Indiana. editorial association, the Indiana Farm Bureau and gatherings of county and township officials. In contrast and on the Democratic side, former Governor Henry F. Schricker has been present at many important meetings over the state and has not scorned ap-pearing-at numerous lesser gatherings. ' . The politicos strongly suspect that the White Hat may be in the ring for Governor in 1956 for this reason. "His boys" are in control of the state organization and hla ally, Butler, is national, chairman. The stress is on the office of governor because Schricker has had his fingers burned twice seeking the senatorship apd he has won twice for boss of the state house. -
