Average of twenty industrial stocks for ’Thursday was 143.05. up 1.20. Average of twenty rails. 109.48. up .02. Average of forty bonds. 95.20. off .03. Ifu United Press , NEW YORK, June 3.—Operations against the heavy short interest built upon the recent decline gained additional momentum today on the stock market when call money dropped off to 3 % per cent. Proof that the easy credit conditions prevailing prior to the June strain had been restored, encouraged resumption of bullish activities In groups where such concessions were favored by good earnings or an overextended bear attack. Rails were stimulated by a burst of strength In Nickel Plate, Pere Marquette and & 0., which was interpreted to foreshadow renewal of the Van Sweringen overtures with the I. C. C., relative to the consolidation of these lines. Carrier stocks also received help from the weekly car loading figures, which not only demonstrated that there had been no slackening of the movement of commodities from production into consumption, but showed that the volume was continuing to expand.

In the Cotton Market

By Thomson & McKinnon NEW YORK. June 3.—Although considerable switching from July to later months has occurred recently, there remains a good-sized long account in July, and liquidation of this will necessitate further readjustments in the market. Refiners were quoting lower prices today and holders of Cuban raws were reported to be offering sugar at 2%c a pound. But neither the developments in the commodity nor the actual price changes attracted much attention. The market is in a waiting mood. We expect little to happen until warmer weather brings increased consumption and larger requirements of raws on the part of refining interests.

GRAINS RISE WITH BULLISHREPORTS Prices Rally After Frequent Depressions. Bu United Press CHICAGO, June 3—AU grains closed higher on the Chicago Board of Trade today. The day’s news turned bullish rather early and all pits showed a quick response. There Avere frequent depressions but prices rallied easily and practically all gains were held at the close. Wheat closed sharply higher in all positions. The higher Liverpool quotations, the decrease in crop estimates, and weather reports were responsible factors. Exports totaled about 600,000, chiefly Manitobas. Winnipeg, although closed, also reported a good overnight export business. Cash grain closed higher, after recovering from the pressure caused by the selling out of a number of longs. Corn closed ..sharply higher in all positions. The bylge was caused by the buying of locals as well as short covering. Supplies of this grain were large but there was a good cash demand. The strength of corn and wheat lifted oats out of its rut and this grain closed a big, fraction higher for all deliveries. Provisions closed higher. • t Chicago Grain Table ■—June 3 WHEAT— Prev.

FREDRICK LEADS ON FIRST BALLOTS (Continued From Page 1) when his speech was concluded, the crowd almost went wild, giving prolonged cheers while the Indianapolis Military Band played “My Indiana Home,” State Chairman R. Earle Peters of Ft, Wayne, and Fred Van Nuys, resolutions committee chairman, hastened to congratulate Simms. The convention got under way late, nearly three-quarters of an hour after the scheduled opening time, 9 a. m. In the interim, delegates had been milling around, most of them undecided on the senatorial question. Peters Speaks For this year new leaders are in the saddle, and there is no ne to “lay down the law’’ as Taggart did in years past, with a note of finality. Peters, recently -elected to the post Taggart once held, pleaded before the convention for a "welding together of a Democratic organization so complete In the aspects of compactness and loyalty that its influence will be felt about every fireside.” After his speech, Simms introduced Miller Effingham, Ft. Wayne, son of Lew Effingham, Ft. Wayne publisher, as convention secretary. Milo Feightner of Huntington, chairman of the rules committee, submitted his report. Joseph M. Cravens of Madison, permanent chairman, was introduced and fnade a few brief remarks, praising Simms’ speech. Report of the committee on resolutions was adopted unanimously. A certificate of the secretary of State to the effect that Evans Woollen received the majority of vbtes for the party's short term senatorial nomination in the primary was read. Woollen was unopposed. John W. Kern moved that the nombination be confirmed. Seconds to tlie motion came from all parts of the hall. The nomination was confirmed. Woollen was in the balcony and made a short speech. Fredrick’s friends were confide® I of his nomination by the time the sixth ballot is reached. With a pronounced wet sentiment in the convention, friends of former Congressman Rauch predict his nomination. . Fredrick’s supporters, before the balloting, cited his friendliness to ■ labor, his conservative views on tariff revision, his wealth, his position in the business world and other things calculated to have a wide appeal. More optimism was displayed in his camp than on any of the other five. •

Might Veer to Rauch A prominent member of tine Second district delegating said that group of delegates wSuld veer to Rauch it it was deemed impossible to nominate Cullop, the favorite-son candidate pf the district. Orval D. Sampson, Morristown, apparently was unopposed for the secretary of State nomination. For the nomination of State auditor, David S. Fergus.-*-. Covington, had no early competition. Jones Not Aspirant. The refusal of Jap Jones, Martinsville, to enter the contest for State treasurer left John Cody, Now Albany, the lone candidate. Friends of Cody staged a rousing campaign. Christian Emhardt, Indianapolis, waged an energetic contest against Za’ch T. Dungan, Huntington, for the clerk of the Supreme Court nomination, but Dungan, the incumbent, was considered the likely choice. John A. Linebarger, Rockville superintendent of schools, was boomed for superintendent of public instruction. However, delegates believed Marion County friends would announce the candidacy of Prof. Wood Unger of Butler University. Charles Rerrmter, Indianapolis attorney. told friends he would not allow his name to be presented for nomination as justice of the Supreme Court, Third J District. Paul G. Davis was the only candidate considered as definitely in the race; although Marion County friends urged Elias Salsbury to ertter. David Pyle, South Bend, was deemed a probable entry for judge of tlie Supreme Court, Fifth District. It was reported Judge E. IV. Felt of Municijxil Court Ono would bt: drafted for one of the First Division Appellate Court nominations. SHINGLING IS OLD KMSWORTh, England.

DEMOCRATS AVOID UOUORDEBATE (Continued From Tage 1) Uc office or shall be charged with the execution of a publio trust,” Through the divisions of the resolutions runs a current of opposition to centralization of power In State and national governments, “We believe that government Is best which, other things being equal, Is nearest those governed,” Is the declaration, “Disregard of this principle has weakened the States and the local communities and has Increased alarmingly the centralization of government.” In a section recommending repeal of the Goodrich tax law, the platform urges restoration of the State tax board to “its original status, one o* appeal and equalization, to the end that taxes may be reduced and the people of every community be permitted to govern themselves.” - Evade Tariff Issue Evasion of the question at issue between high and low tariff Democrats Is embodied in a clause, which, however, maintains tho traditional party belief In a tariff for revenue only. “Imposed on us is a tariff system which, for the benefit of some, has raised prices to the injury of all consumers and more especially the farmer,” a resolution declares. Both farmers and laborers received special attention in tho proposed declaration of principles. A plank commends Indiana Democratic members of Congress for support of proposals of marketing farm surpluses backed by tho India nt Farm Bureau Federation, but differs from the declaration In tlio Republican State platform by stating that the “discriminatory tariff duties levied by the Republican party are the principal source of all tho ills affecting agriculture In this country.” However, farm bureau federation representatives were unable to induce the builders of the platformAo include a resolution Indorsing a State income tax. A few years ago a Democratic State convention Included a similar plank in tho platform. Workmen's Art Amendments

The section dealing with labor recognizes the right of organization and collective bargaining and demands amendments to the workmen's compensation act, as follows: That each injured employe shall have (ho right to choose his own surgeon and that medical and surgical attention be provided during disability. That the rate of compensation now payable shall be revised In such manner ns to bo on equality with those of States bordering on Indiana. That tho Injured employes shill bo paid for any permanent disfigurement in addition to his total disability period and that he shall be compensated for his total disability as long as he Is disabled. Framers of tho platform agreed that the primary system should be abandoned In selecting all State candidates with optional use In lesser units of Government. “We condemn the present vicious abuses of the absent voters' law and favor Us amendment In order that it may protect the secrecy of tho ballot,” another section states. Raps County Unit Tht/ platform decla ’es against the county i nit system of school management. e* Although the committee refused to adopt a definite stand In favor of the present members of the State highway commission, it scored es forts to turn that body over to the politicians. “We point with prido to tho fset that the present State highway law and system was saved to the people of this State by the effort and solid vote of tho eighteen Democratic Senators in the last Legislature, In defeating the road ripper bill fostered and supported hy the Repul>llcans of this State and the present Republican administration,” a plank declares. Shifting of State funds and Increase of special taxes not economy In government or decrease in expenditures wero responsible for lowering the $5,000,000 StHto debt “created without warrant of law during the Republicnn administration," is tho contention of nnother soction. Economy Urged Asa remedy, the platform proposes revision of the budget law to prevent the juggling of funds and to render extravagance Impossible. A plank incorporated urged State participation in the celebration of tho 150th anniversary of the eaptuie of Ft. Sackvllle at Vincennes. 4 Memorial tcsolutlons in honor of the late Thomas It. Marshall and Samuel M. Ralston wero Incorporated In the resolutions. “The people of Indiana today, without distinction of party, remehiber with pride and gratitude their administration of the affairs of this State, an administration that shines more brightly by contras*, with what has followed,” is the platform’s declaration, FILM INTERPRETERS TOKIO.—Not all audiences here can rend, so there arc story tellers In many of the moving picture theaters to interpret the films. Often these Interpreters turn cnracdy to tragedy, their personal views of the picture being mistaken. -
