G. 0. P. FORCES OF STATE LINE UP FOR BATTLE First Clash Scheduled at Com* mittee Reorganization Tomorrow. GOODRICH OR WATSON? On the eve of the state convention, fndiana republicans are facing today one of the most bitter fights that has taken place in the party In this state. The fight will start with the reorganization of the state central committee at a meeting opening at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning. At this meeting the question of whether Gov. James P. Goodrich or Senator James E. Watson win control the party, must be determined. With Senator Watson, who Is a candidate for re-election, and Warren T. McCray, the republican nominee for governor, determined to control the party, the present organization is fighting for its life. The test will come in the election of a state chairman. The old organization is Insisting that Edmund M. Wasmuth, the present chairman. must be retained, while the WatsonMcCray faction Is Insisting on his removal. The latter contend that. Inasmuch as they are the party's nominees, they should have the right to name the organization. TODAY’S MEETINGS^ TO BE GUIDE POSTS. Whether the Watson faction will assume control in Indiana xvill be determined when the results of district conventions being held today are learned. These conventions will name district chairmen, who in turn, xvill elect the state chairman. At the present time the Goodrich faction is claiming eleven of the thirteen votes, while the Watson faction Is claiming eight of the thirteen. Seven votes are necessary to elect. The second great problem xvhich will face the convention will be the instruction of delegates to the national convention. While the law provides that delegates must be instructed otaly in case a candidate for ilie nomination for the presidency receix-es a majority in the primary, the Leonard Wood organization is demanding thaf the majority of the delegates be instructed tjo vote for Wood. This demand 1s expected to precipitate a fight, because organization leaders In Indiana are known to be opposed to Gen. Wood.

DELEGATES AT LARGE MEAN ANOTHER FIGHT. The hardest fight probably will come when the work of selecting the state’s four delegates at large is taken up. It had previously teen understood that the delegates would be Senators Watsou and New, Gov. Goodrich and Mr. Waamuth. This lineup is not at ill pleasing to the Wood organization. In .fact this proposed - ‘big four” Is so distasteful to the Wood organization that it is suggesting candidates of its own. Col. Hiram Bearss of Peru has been suggested by the Wood organization as a candidate for the ‘‘big four.” The republicans also will be compelled to tight out on the floor of their convention a problem on which the democrats already have decided: This is the question of whether women will be sent to the national convention as delegates. Mrs. Anne Studebaker Carlisle of South Bend has announced her candidacy for the “big four." thus bringing the question of women as delegates directly before the convention. T PARTY PLATFORM ANOTHER PROBLEM. Mrs. Carlisle is expected to have the support- of the Wood faction. Still another problem which mush be solved by the convention is the problem of the party platform. In this connection the convention will be confronted with the serious problem of whether the Goodrich administration shall be approved. The rarty is apparently divided on this question as on nearly every other question (hat will come before it. The question of what is to be done about the tax law also must be un(Continued on Page Ten.)
