G. 0. P. PLATFORM BODY PASSES UP KU-KLUX ISSUE No Reference Is Made to Proposed Repeal of Primary Law. Accepting in its entirety draft of a platform drawn up by “a committee of fifty,” appointed some time ago for this purpose, the resolutions committee today was ready to present the State platfoifn to the Republican State convention for ratification. According to indications, a minority report on the cooperative marketing law and the State compensation law will be presented on the floor of the convention. These minority reports were to be presented by Harold A. Henderson, Terre Haute, and \V. W. Lambert, Columbus. The platform as adopted after setting out National issues and commending the State administration, sets out planks on labor, agriculture, taxation, boards and commissions, securities law, budget system, women, public funds, education, St. Lawrence River project, emblem and Senator Watson. Klan Not Mentioned No mention was made of the primary law nor of the Ku-Klux Klan. According to F. M. Stutsman, Peru, member of the committee, every member favored a repeal of the primary law and of the absent voters’ law. Desire io avoid a fight on the floor of the convention prevented action, it is said. “We’re all a set of cowards.” Stutsman told the committee. “We’re all agreed as to that,” replied Charles Seifert. Washington. The committee took no action on a resolution presented by a delegation headed by •Edgar G. Brown, colored, of the United Negro Press.

Labor Resolution Fails The committee 'hlso failed to adopt a resolution presented by T. N. Taylor, Terre Haute, president of the State Federation of Labor, and Adolph Fritz, secretary of the organization. The labor resolution provided change in the workmen’s compensation law. A resolution calling for a more specific and definite cooperative marketing law was presented by the Indiana Farm Federation, but no action was taken. The resolution provided for the passage of v a standard cooperative marketing law. giving the fanners of Indiana power equal to those in other States.” Resolution to place a limit of 1H per cent on tax levy was voted down. The committee was frequently interrupted by delegations calling to present an issue. Deal Proposed One such was when E. M. Morris, a member of the State Central committee, Tom Slick and Rome Stephenson, all of the Thirteenth District, called for the purpose of making a deal or trade in behalf of Arthur Gilliom, South Bend, candidate for attorney general. Schuyler Haas, Seventh District chairman, was called from the committee and proposition of a trade of strength put to him. “Well boys, you know we have a candidate of our own from down here, Edward M. White, for attorney general. The fact is lam going to piece him in nomination and our delegates will have to vote for him on the first ballot, but after that, well maybe we can do something for you,” Haas told the “boys” from the Thirteenth. Members of the committee are: A. G. Graham, South Bend, chairman, Thirteenth; A. K. Remrael, FT. Wayne, secretary, Twelfth; W. A. Carson, First; Charles Seifert, Washington, Second; Arthur McOart, P&oli, Third: W. W. Lambert, Columbus, Fourth; Harold A. Henderson, Terre Haute. Fifth; Fred C. Gause, Newcastle, Sixth; Schuyler A. Haas, Indianapolis, Seventh; George W. Cromer, Muncie, Eighth; E. E. Pruitt, Delphi, Ninth; E. M. Norton, Crown ,Point, Tenth; F. M. Stutsman, Peru, Eleventh.

EIGHT FROSTS OVERSTATE Weather Bureau Believes Slight Damage Resulted. General frosts, ranging from light to killing, were reported early today in the northern and central parts of the State by J. H. Armingtou, weather bureau head. Damage to fruits and farm produce probably was slight he said because unfavorable weather conditions have delayed farm operations. Tomato plants if not protected were most affected, he said. Tree fruits probably were not harmed. Light frost was reported as far south as Paoli, Orange County. Killing frosts with freezing temperatures were reported at Farmland, Randolph County, with a temp*- rature of 29; Cambridge City, Wayne County, temperature of 30, and Marion, Grant County, temperature, 31. Lght frosts occurred in the vicinity of Indianapolis. The lowest temperature, 41 degrees, was recorded at 6:20 a. m. It was several degrees cooler than this in the outskirts of the city, according to Armington. Weather bureau records show that this is unusually late for frosts. A frost occurred, however, in June, 1017.

SEES NATIONAL REBUKE OF KLAN PLANK BY G.O.P. Political Writer Says Revnote in Indiana Generally Sets Campaign Policy. By ROBERT J. BENDER, United Pres* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 22.—The Republican party will reject the KuKlux Klan as an issue for the forthcoming presidential campaign. For many years the party keynote sunded at the Republican convention in Indiana has been accepted as the foundation stone of the G. O. P. national campaign policy. And, in sounding the keynote of the Hoosier State Republicans yesterday, Senator James E. Watson took this position; “If a man Is nominated for office on the Republican ticket, we don't care if he is a Klansman or a Catholic—we’re for him.” Thus he emphasizes the recent statement of President Coolidge that party organization and party regularity : ' prime factors in party success. According to Watson, and by inference, according to Coolidge, the Klan issue has no place in party considerations when party regularity in the rhyme requisite. Coolidge. himself, is expected by Republican leaders to make this clear in response to several demands made upon him for a statement for his position on the Klan. In the Democratic? party the Klan issue has been urged by Senator Underwood, a candidate for the presidential nomination. Shoujd this result in the possible nomination of an anti-Klan candidate there is every reason to believe that the Republican party will ignore the challenge. Break I p Dope- Gang LONDON, May 21.—A gang of cocaine traffickers infesting London has been completely broken up.

The various branches of the health board are utilizing rooms set aside for offices connected with the general assembly while tho pharmacy board’s headquarters are proaching on the same preserve. Nobody knows what's to become of them when legislature convenes again. The highway commission offices appear to have sshoved over and shared its oftic-e with half a dozen more. Its motor transport and another department were squeezed out entirely and have headquarters across the street. Where Next? Other things remaining equal, increase in the size of the departments of State will soon find experts of the accounts board figuring out depreciation on the slate on the roof. The health board will be reduced to open air clinics. The State entomologist will be filing his bug specimens in the hundred odd unused fire places about the building. The janitors are the only ones who have much consolation. They can get behind a broom and keep on moving. It is a very large family in one medium sized bed. When an addition is looming, everybody must move a little. No one has tho audacity to predict where it will end.

EX-SERVICE MEN MAN ROM FLEETS, CONGRESSES TOLD Evidence Found in Enormous Increase in Liquor Traffic From Abroad, Times XVashinnton Bureau, 1322 Xetv York Ave. WASHINGTON, May 22.—Ranks of the rum runners pouring whisky into the United States from abroad are being swelled by former army and navy men. Evidence to support this charge has been presented to Congress by coast guard officers in pointing out the enormous increase in the liquor traffic from Europe. “This is i.zrne out by many incidents from our official reports,” Commander C. S. Root testified before the House Committee on Appropriations. Follow Navy Custom “Last autumn a United States man-of-war sighted another steamer’s lights off Hatteras. By blinker signal, she called the boat and asked ‘What ship?’ In reply the stranger stated he was the U. S. S. Beaufort, bound from Norfolk to San Domingo.” “After the usual Navy custom she asked permission to proceed on duty designated. On arrival at Norfolk It was discovered the Beaufort "was undergoing extensive repairs and that she had been and would be there for several weeks.” Root told the committee there was no doubt that the craft was a rumrunner and that only an ex-Navy man could have worked the ruse. He also testified that on numerous occasions the Coast Guard had intercepted messages which only could have been worked by persons familiar with mlitary procedure. "Net only is the liquor traffic increasing, but also the audacity, skill and courage of the enemy,” Root charged. U. S. Losing Prestige Root said that in the early days of rum-running the prestige of the Government boats was so great that the smugglers would always stop on a whistje or blank shot signal. “By expert* ee the runners learned the cutters were of low speed and began to disregard orders,” Root said. Recently not only have most of the rum runnt rs failed to stop when orI dered, but n numerous instances put up armed resistance. Root testified that the known strength of the rum fleet in large vessels consisted of thirty-four steamers and 132 sailing vessels, ranging from thirty-five tons to 3,000 tons, some of these which make nineteen knots an hour. In addition there are hundreds of smaller vessels plying between Cuba and the Bahamas and numerous southern ports.
