ilia™ mu OF PRIMARY LAW Opponents Dispute McCulloch Claims to Majority of Delegates, Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch, Deniocratic gubernatorial candidate receiving a plurality at the primary, "ill go into the Suite convention with a majority of the 1.292 delegates, according to information from rel.able sources today. In the face of this statement, other candidates claim enough delegates to defeat McCulloch. McCulloch claims majority delegates from eight of the State's thirteen Congressional districts, enough \to win, his supporters declare. According to bos-- information McCulloch will not oppose a.definite ar.tiKian plank in the Democratic platform. Another plank favoring repeal of the State primary law is exjrooted to complete the issues by which delegates in the convention are expected. Durgan in to Will George R. Durgan, mayor of Lafayette, runner-up in the primary, has declared he is definitely in the fight to win. and probably will qorne o Indianapolis and open State headquarters. Durgan dt’ 'gates are more ikely to swing to Met alloeh than any other candidates, it is said, because of Durgan’s strong inti-Klan stand. Durgan. however, always has been egarded as an anti-Taggart or antiorganization man, said he may not be willing to deal with McCulloch* “I’m going to stay in this race to he finish and I want to urge every ther ' candidate to stick.” was the -latemer.t of Senator Joseph M. Cra.ens, Madison, third man in the prinary race. Senator Cravens declared he was :t,ing to keep his headquarters open. Holt May Combine Olin Holt, Klan candidate from Ko- : komo, who made a strong race and unioubtedly must be reckoned with in convention, probably would swing to Cravens when break in delegations tome. Cravens also has many Klan delegates from Southern counties, although he did not run a- i Klan candidate. Position of delegates fir Dale J. Crit- * renberger, Anderson publisher, is problematical. Crittenberger declares his delegates, mainly from the Eighth and Twelfth Districts, will stick by him. It is not thought either he or Cravens would swing to McCulloch. Out-State prejudices against an Indianapolis man, it is thought, will ' play its usual part in the convention.
