SENATOR WATSON WINS SACKING IN HEATED SESSION Plank Indorsing Solon tor Vice Presidency is Adopted. On insistence direct from Senator James E. Watson himself and State Chairman Clyde Walb, the resolutions committee of the Republican State convention early this adopted a piank in the State platform indorsing Senator Watson for the vice presidency. The committee was stampeded by a delegation from the Watson camp and a resolution already drawn up was presented by George W. Lockwood, Muncie. Lockwood was accompanied by Walb, Vice Chairman Lawrence Cartwright, Portland, and Stuart Fisher of Princeton. George Cromer, Muncie, was called from the committee room and at once voiced his opposition to. the plank. Cromer declared adoption of such a plank would be “political suicide." Cromer, boss of the Eighth district, then was taken into another room and given a “talking to." Beveridge Influence Seen Walb said Watson deserved the backing of the Indiana delegates at the National Convention. Charles Seifert. Washington, made a trip to Watson’s room on the eighth floor of the Severin. Chairman A. G. Graham of the resolutions committee also visited the Senator. The committee was thrown into disorder and apparently there was bitter debate on the subject. One member declared he was opposed to naming Watson for Vice President and “tieing the hands of C'oolidge, when Watson had voted to override the President's veto on the bonus bill.” Another member declared naming Watson would ‘‘kill” the Senator for any other office in the future. .Others saw in the move the hand of exSenator Albert J. Beveridge in “safely salting away the Senator.” Visit Recalled Friends of Beveridge believe Watson's move was taken to forestall possible action by the committee in favor of Beveridge. The former Senator recently was a guest of President Coolidge at the White House and on a cruise on the presidential yacht. Mayflower, where it was said the coming campaign was discussed. Others pointed to the move as coming from Postmaster General Harry S. New, who made his presence felt immediately on his arrival Wednesday afternoon from Washington, in a clash with Watson forces over selection of delegates. Following lengthy caucuses, how ever, the committee reassembled and the plunk was adopted unanimously, placing Indiana delegates under pledge to support the Watson can didacy at. the national convention at Cleveland, June 10. Lincoln Highway Condition Good Divisions seven and eight of the Lincoln highway, running from Van Wert, Ohio across Indiana to Chicago, 111., are in excellent condition, according to the road condition report of the Lincoln Highway Association.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

State Planks in G. 0. P. Platform

State Administration The period through which we have just passed has been a remarkable era of progress throughout the nation. We call attention, with coniidence to the record which has been made of improvements accomplished and service performed. Communication and transportation are fundamental demands of progress. The work of the Indiana highway commission, under Republican leadership, has placed Indiana at the very head of the States of the Union In the matter of road construction and maintenance. All this Is now being accomplished without any direct tax or a single dollar of bonded indebtedness. We commend the National Republican Administration for its liberal policy of State aid for highways. We commend the work of the conservation department for its impartial enforcement of law; for the aid rendered to agriculture; for its saving of wild life; for the protection of our mineral resources, and for the establishment of State parks, some of which are already self-supporting, and all of which are maintained at a minimum cost. We favor the conducting of the penal and benevolent institutions of the State of.Jndiana under that same wise plan originally inaugurated by the Republican pa(ty of non-partisan control and administration. In principle, a State regulatory’ body, with power to govern the affairs of public utilities, is clearly sound. The interests of the public must be thoroughly protected. We, therefore, advocate such modifications of present administrative rules and practices as will make certain

a satisfactory functioning of this department. The increased cost of State government is found in the support and extension of our educational, benevolent and penal Institutions, and not in operating expenses of the State government. Legislative expense has been reduced and the cast of the other divisions of State government has been greatly lowered, and we pledge the Republican party to the most vigirous economy in all de* partments consistent with the public welfare. We declare and emphasize our purpose that, the laws of the State and nation shall and must be justly enforced upon the high and low alike without prejudice to race, creed or color. Labor We are not unmindful of the fact that the Republican party was born out of the issue of free labor and we pledge ourselves to keep labor free against any encroachments upon its lawful activities. We believe that labor and capital must prosper together. We believe that labor should have the right to organize for the betterment of its working conditions and that both labor and capital should be permitted to bargain collectively. We favor equal opportunity for work, as between men and women, with such stifeguards as will best conserve their health and make possible the fullest expression of their abilities. We approve such social advancements ns the workmen’s compensation laws and feel that the next General Assembly should make a thorough Inquiry of the same. We advocate that in all matters of government in which labor may

be affected, the representatives of bona fide labor should be consulted. Agriculture We recognize the need of immediate and effective legislation to relieve agriculture, both State and Nation, from the depressed condition in which it finds itself. We command the President of the United States and the Republican members of the National Congress for their efforts in behalf of the farmers, efforts which have brought about substantial improvements In the condition that existed at thaclose of the last Democratic administration. We acknowledge that without prosperity on the farms of Indiana and of the Nation, there can be no lasting prosperity in any branch of industry and to the end that agriculture may prosper as it should prosper, we favor the enactment of such other legislation as will bring about this result in Indiana. Taxation * Taxation is a business and an economic problem and not a partisan one. Tax burdens and expenditures go hand in hand. Further relief from the burdens of taxation in this State can only be found when expenditures are reduced to the lowest point consistent with an efficient and economical administration of government, both State and local. We favor such legislation as will strengthen our present tax law, to the end that every class of property be made to bear its just portion of the burdens of taxation; less liberality in exempting by law’ certain classes of property from taxation; and with reasonable limitation upon the ability of taxing units to incur indebtedness. We are opposed to increasing the number of taxing districts covering the same territory by which the constitutional debt limit is in effect avoided. Boards and Commissions W’e are opposed to the creation of additional hoards and commissions.

We favor the abolishment of every unnecessary board or commission already created. Indiana Securities Law The Republican party gave the people of Indiana their first securities law, designated to protect investors from fraud resulting from the purchase of securities. The Republican party solemnly pledges Itself to the strengthening of the present securities law, and the enactment of such amendments as may be deemed necessary' for the further protection of the public. Budget System We commit ourselves to the present budget system, enacted by the Republican party. Women \ We commend the Republican women for their loyalty to the principles of our party and for the splendid work accomplished by them. Public Funds We favor the placing of all funds received by hoards or departments of the State government In the State treasury. Education The Republican party has always stood for educational advancement. We believe that mcney judiciously invested In education is well invested and will bring abundant returns. We pledge ourselves that no reactionary step will be taken in this most important field. St. Lawrence River Project We approve the successive steps taken by President Harding and President Coolidge for the improvement of the St. Lawrence River, which will relieve transportation strictures; Improve the position of agriculture in the Central W’est; eliminate many difficult conditions of fuel supply In the Industrial East and promote foreign and coastwise commerce between the shores of the Great Lakes and foreign countries and the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards. W’e confirm the constructive waterways policy announced by

Prerident Coolidge In his annual meat age. Emblem We adopt the eagle as the official emblem of the Republican party and invite all citizens of Indiana to join with us in the present important campaign. Senator Watson The Republicans of Indiana, believing that the party's nominee for the vice presidency should be one capable of filling the highest office within the gift of the people, present to the Republicans of the Nation for the vice presidential nomination that constructive statesman, brilliant orator and magnetic leader, Senator James E. Watson. The nomination of Senator Watson for the vice presidency would add to the strength of the National ticket in Indiana and throughout the Nation and would bring to the vice presidency one whose great abilities would contribute materially to the success of the administration. Therefore be it resolved That the delegates from Indiana to the Republican National convention of 1924 are instructed to present the name of James E. Watson as a candidate for the vice presidential nomination and to cast their ballots for him so long as his name shall remain before the convention.
