PARTIES WILL MAP CAMPAIGN AT ROUTINGS Election Battle Lines to Be Drawn at Editorial Groups Sessions. BY BEN STERN November election battle lines will be drawn at summer outings of the Republican and Democratic editorial associations in the next two weeks. The former will meet at Michigan City June 27-28 and the Democrats at Bedford June 20-21. A general meeting of the Democratic board of strategy has been called by R. Earl Peters, Fort Wayne, Democratic state chairman, at which the state committee, congressional nominees and the newly nominated state ticket will be present. Republicans will hear Senators James E. Watson and Arthur R. Robinson. It is supposed they will discuss the best methods of defending attacks on the tariff by the opposition in the state campaign. Watson Planks Ignored Watson is expected to make touch on absence in the G. O. P. state platform of any reference to the tariff bill passed by the senate Friday or the London naval limitations treaty. A draft of national planks sent by him to the state committee was ignored, and several political observers declared this presaged a loss of his power in state affairs. Democrats will hear Claude Gregg, former mayor of Vincennes; Dale J. Grictenberger, Anderson publisher, and Waiter Myers, nominee for state representative from Marion county. Leaders of both parties and their tariffs of strategists busily were comparing strength of both state tickets over the week-end and concurred in stating that both were well balanced with a slight edge on the part of Democrats because of the local appeal. Lineup Is Formidable Republican leaders frankly declared that they have not, in years, been confronted with so formidable a Democratic lineup. Now that Tuesday’s convention can be viewed more or less dispassionately, the real minner appears to be Peters. Involved in a fight extremely bitter, he now is in a neutral corner and does not expect to be under fire. There is no doubt that if Virgil Simmons, Bluffton, eighth district chairman, had been nominated for secretary, opponents of Peters and Simmons (and the latter has many political enemies) would have turned their wrath upon the former. If Arthur J. Hamrick, Clayton, had been nominated, the state chairman would have been shunted to one side. As the situation exists at present Peters has, as the head of the ticket, Frank Mayr Jr., secretary of state nominee, who although supported by Chester Montgomery, convention permanent chairman, and Rudolph Ackerman, South Bend city controller, is too independent to remain utterly under their domination. Heralds New Era Several southern Indiana workers have declared in the past few days that the result of the convention heralds an era of South Bend domination, such as has not existed since the period of Senator Benjamin F. Shively, who died in 1916. Shively and former LieutenantGovernor William P. O’Neil, Mishawaka, maintained a tight rein on the state organization for several years. Such absolute control by one group, as was practiced in the past, is more or less impossible now, it is pointed out. There could be an unification of northern Democrats in opposition for those from the southern section with Marion county holding the balance of power in conventions and committee rooms, but no one group will be able to hold the reins because the remainder of the organization would unite in protest, leaders say. ‘Always in Trouble’ B.y Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., June 14.—Life is too short and peace and quietude too precious foi Althea Barkheimer to live with Chester Barkheinier, she alleges in a divorce bill filed in Madison superior court.

KISSING HEAD i BLOCKS STATE' IN DEATH CASE Authorities Conduct Search in Murder Proof Attempt Bu Times Special MARION. Ind., June 14. —Problem either of identifying parts of a corpse or finding the head of a corpse today blocked Grant county authorities who will attempt to prove that Edward Blotz, 58, murdered Thomas Tucker, 60. Blotz has' been indicted by the grand jury for the brutal murder and is in jail awaiting arraignment and trial. Farmlands, creeks and territory for miles near here are being searched by authorities.

Blotz has denied this charge and also the contention of the state that he and Tucker fought as a result cf a dispute that started while both were inmates of the state prison.
