Republican Rally Backs Eisenhower i Circulate Petitions For Ike In Primary. INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Additional thousands of Hoosiers today signed petitions to place President Eisenhower on Indiana’s May 8 presidential preferential primary ballot. Republican district and county officials circulated the petitions after a state-wide rdlly in the State Fairgrounds Saturday night at which 8,500 signatures on petitions were delivered. Only 500 signatures of registered voters are needed. The " petitions . may be filed for 30 days, beginning Feb. 28. Among the Indiana GOP leaden who signed the petitions at the rally were Senator Homer E. Capehart, Governor George N. Craig, Lieut. Gov. Harold W. Handley, secretary of state F. Parker and a number of congressmen. Capehart, Craig and Congressman Earl Wilson, of Bedford spoke. Capehart denounced party factionalism and said that unless ranks are closed the defeat of 1955 may be repeated. Governor Craig, who sponsored the meeting, predicted that Ike will say "yes" to plans for his renomination and reelection within a few days after his return ’to Washington from his Georgia vacation. The governor added: -“The announcement of the President’s consent will set in motion a campaign that will bring the Republican party a greater margin of victory this year than in 1952.” Craig claimed the Eisenhower administration has ended the Korean war, stopped inflation, reduced taxes and removed the stif ling influence of government coh trols from American business and industry, adding: "As a result of these actions, the United States is now enjoying its greatest peacetime prosperity, with personal income and employment at all-time highs. Also the President, through his personal example, had restored the faith of the American people In the honor, integrity and dependability of the officials in the federal government. “This is a proud record. All we have to do is make sure the American people are told about it again and again in the months ahead.” Capehart, a candidate for reelection who has battled with Governor Craig in the past, said: “If we lose this election next Sovember, we have, nobody to ame but ourselves. You have had a fine state administration under Governor Craig and a fine national administration under President Ei senhower. I promise you, Governor Craig, 1 am going to do my part to win.” Senator William E. Jenner and national committeeman Ralph F. Gates, both political foes of the governor, were absent. , Two Autos Collide At Road.
