Boost L. G. Ellingham Lew G. Ellingham, publisher of the Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette, i? reported slated as Indiana's representative on the national platform committee. Uncertainty as to what the Democrats will do with the vexing questions of farm relief and prohibition, focuses keen interest on this committee. William H. O’Brien of Lawrenccburg, chairman of the Indiana delegation, is expected to make the nominating speech for Evans Woollen, local banker, and ‘‘favorite son” candidate of Indiana Democracy for the presidential nomination. Indiana’s thirty votes will be accorded Woollen as long as his name remains before the convention. He is advanced as “ a logical compromise candidate” should a deadlock prevent the nomination of A! Smith, New York Governor. 125 to Make Trip At least one hundred twenty-five persons are expected to make* the Houston journey on the Woollen Special, sponsored by the Indiana Democratic Club. Hickory canes for the men and swagger sticks for the women will be given the Woollen boosters, Fred Barrett, Indiana Democratic Club president, announced. Blue coats, white trousers and straw hats comprise the uniform specified for the men. Hatbands have been printed beating the words, “Indiana Woollen Delegate.” In response to an inquiry from William Patton, furniture manufacturer of Martinsville, Ind., Clem Shaver, national Democratic chairman, wired from Houston that the convention probably would be glac* to accept Patton’s offer of an “Andrew Jackson Old Hickory” gavel. O’Brien probably will make the presentation.
