Democratic Council Plans Convention ,| INDIANAPOLIS <UPD — The I "stepchild" of the Indiana Democratic Party has acquired »uffi- ! cient strength to schedule a con- ' stitutional convention of its own. President Alfred H. Edelson of the Democratic Council of Indiana said the council will meet April 9 in Indianapolis to ratify a constitution, elect officers and directors, and map a future program. The council organized in May 1959 as a federation of Democratic clubs first sought a charter from the State Democratic Central Committee. But the committee voted against the idea of chartering the group. At the tiipe . chairman Charles Skillen expressed' fears the council might endorse individual state or national candidates for office and embarrass the party. Skillen pointed out that a number of the DCI organizers were former Volunteers -for - (Adlai l Stevenson club members. ~ Edelson now concedes that tbp I question of endorsing candidates in advance of primaries or nomi- ' nating conventions was "a major subject of debate” at the provisional meeting last May. “I can't say whether the proposed constitution will provide fop slating candidates or not” said. “I doubt it frankly. I think the matter more likely will be left open- The eventual outcome may include endorsement but I think it is a couple of years off. “Here we are just trying to get started. It would be silly to bring in an issue that might divide us at the start." Edelson said the council has affiliates at South Bend Fort Wayne Michigan City and Indianapolis and soon will add groups at Evansville Bloomington Terre Haute and Valparaiso. He said he felt a group like the council has an important role in the life of the Democratic Party in Indiana. "We are an addition to and not a substitute for the regular party organization” he said. “We are particularly interested in the volunteer or amateur who needs special outlets and encouragement to enlist his skills alongside the regular party organization." Among the future plans of the council is a newsletter which will conduct regular straw poUs Edelson said. He said the polls might be used to decide whether the council should endorse specific candidates.
