PLATFORM OF DEMOCRATS IS DECLARED O.K. Will Carry Home Rule Fight Straight to People, Says Leader. Satisfaction that the Democratic party had adopted a sound course with regard to the Issues in the coming campaign and has chosen a strong ticket, was expressed by delegates and leaders leaving tor their homes following the close of the convention yesterday. Many expressions of gratification were heard over the result of the platform decisions which were allowed to stand when a light made by the Insurgents died down after a test vote of strength on a report of the rules committee. “We are going to carry the fight straight to the people on the question of ‘home rule' in tax matters and extrava- i gance and excessive cost of State government,” said one leader. "We won a vast majority of the city elections In Indiana in November, 1921, and everything points to success this year In the first general test.” HOW DEMOCRATIC TICKET LINES CP. The Democratic ticket nominated In the convention Is as follows: For Secretary of State, DAN LINK of Auburn. For Auditor of State, ROBERT BRACKEN of Frankfort For Treasurer of State, GEORGE DEHORJTY of Elwood. For Superintendent of Fublic Instruction, DANIEL MTNTOSH. Worthington. For Judge of the Supreme Court District Two. JOSEPH H. SHEA of Seymour. For Judges Appellate Court First District, JOSEPTI COLLIER of Indianapolis. WILLJAXI H. BRIDWELL of Sullivan. For Judges Appellate Court Second District, EDWT.C F. MVABE of Williamsport. VALENTINE I.IVINGOOD of Covington. For Clerk of the Supreme Court, ZACHARY T. DENG AN of Huntington. ONLY A COTTLE OF CONTESTS ARISE. Only two contests developed In the naming of the ticket Three candidates were Toted on for the judgshtp nominations of the first appellate district. Elias D. Snlstmry of Indianapolis, losing out. The vote was Bridwell, I,o4o'*>; Collier, LfWO’-i ; Sals bury, oGS. Prior to the convention the names of half dozen persons were mentioned for clerk of the Supreme Court, but when the roll call for nominations was heard only two names were presented. The organization strength seemed to center on the candidacy of Zachary T. Dun gun of Huntington while the Third district presented the name of William V. Doogs of Cannelton. Perry County. Dungan received 73S votes as agaiust 537 for Doogs. The south half of the State voted consistently for Doogs white the north half, including Marion County. threw its strength to Dunran. Although there was no clear cut sectional scran the hand of the regular organization forces was seen In giving Dungan a majority.

JURY OUT FOR 7 MINUTES IN ARSON TRIAL It took a Jury In Federal Conrt today only seven minutes to reach a verdl t In the case of William B. Fix and C :bett E. Graves, young farmers living near Amble, Warren County, charged with using the malls lu an attempt to levy blackmail of $1,500 on Robert 11. Fix. Judge Anderson directed the verdict be sealed and reported to him at 2 o’clock this afternoon.

The Government charged that when Robert H. Fix failed to produce the $1,500 .demanded the defendants caused his barn, valued at $2,500, to be burned, Nov. 5, 1921. A third defendant, Alonzo Stevens, i now in the Indiana State prison serving a sentence for arson Imposed \>n him in the State courts. A strong ense was made against the defendants, based largely on a written confession made by Graves to George L. Pugh, deputy State fire marshal, and the testimony of Herbert S. Wood, handwriting expert, that the six blackmailing letters written to Robert 11. Fix In October 1921, were lu the same handwriting ns another document which William

H. Fix admitted he had written. The defense did little more than to nipke a general denial of tho charges. Graves repudiated his confession to Deputy Flro Marshal Pugh and said he had made It because ho was promised if ho made It he would be allowed to go home. In cross-examination lie became badly tangled and Judge Anderson made the defendant admit he had lied tiiuo after time. "And yet you expect this Jury to believe the story you are telling now,” he said.

GIRL RELATES TALE OF ABUSE TO POLICEMEN Detectives today were puzzted over the case of Alda Fields, 17, 333 West New York street, and they were attempting to Identify and locate fourteen men, said by the girl to have mistreated her. The reported abuse occurred two nights ago, but the first word to reach the police was from a man who appeared at Flro Station 6 on West Washington street and related the story of the girl’s adventure. By interviewing the girl last evening police learned from her that as she was walking home Wednesday night she was approached by a man who asked If he might accompany her. She readily consented, she said, and tho man suggested they ride In Ills ear, which was parked nearby. This, too, she agreed to, but when they uad reached the automobile at Capitol and Kentucky avenues, she said, she decided not to go for the ride wIRTn she saw another man seated in the car. It was too late for her to decline, how ever, she found, and she told the officers she was rudely pu-hed Into the machine and It was driven out Kentucky avenue at a rapid rato. After they had gone about seven

blocks, the girl stated, another large car pulled alongside and there were twelve men In It. The-two cars sped down the avenue until they reached a lonely spot
