ROOSEVELT’S CHOICE TO GET INDIANA VOTES Hoosiers Will Back Garner, If He’s the Man, With Fingers Crossed. PLAY SMART POLITICS State Delegation Is Ably Handled by Big Four • in Chicago. BY BEN STERN CHICAGO, July 2.—lndiana's thirty votes will be cast for the vice-presidential selection of Franklin D, Roosevelt, announced Frank McHale, chairman of the delegation, shortly before the Democratic national convention was called to order at noon today. Now that Roosevelt has been nominated, the Indiana delegation will go down the line for him as a unit, the leaders declared. If the presidential nominee wants John Nance Garner, Speaker of the house of representatives, as a running mate, the thirty will be cast that way, although there is not a sign of enthusiasm for him among the Hoosiers. In fact, they privately assert that Gamer will be a drag on the ticket in Indiana because of his background, but in spite of this they will do what the presidential nominee desires. Joins With Illinois Indiana was on the Roosevelt bandwagon when it rolled around Friday night and it climbed on, arm in arm, with Illinois’ 58 votes. The leadership of the McHale-McNutt-Van Nuys-Taggart group asserted itself even at the last minute and the delegation vote would have been divided just as it was on the third ballot in the early morning, if the tide had not swung to Roosevelt because of California's shift from Garner. As soon as this took place a program arranged two days ago with Mayor Tony Cermak of Chicago, head of the Illinois delegation, went into execution. It was reminiscent of the days when the elder Thomas D. Taggart had a close knit alliance with George Brennan, Illinois boss, to „ hear Cermak announce that “Illinois and her sister state, Indiana, cast their total of 88 votes for Roosevelt.” Indiana on Bandwagon Cheers swept the crowded stadium when Cermak spoke, because the ! Roosevelt men knew that it now was all over but the shouting. These two states held the balance of power in the convention. When Indiana was reached on the roll, McHale announced “Indiana came to this convention unin- ! Structed and without a favorite son. She takes great pleasure and pride j in joining with her sister state, Illi- 1 nois, in casting her thirty votes for Governor Roosevelt.” Indiana was on the bandwagon in plenty of time and yet had lulfilled its pledge to the stop-Roose-velt group in three ballots during the long, weary grind of Thursday ; night and Friday morning. The agreement with Illinois provided that when one of the two; states saw the break coming for any candidate, the other would be notified and the combined vote cast as a powerful unit. Original plans called for the shift to be to Newton D. Baker, war secretary, but when California broke : to Roosevelt, the trend easily was perceived. Employ Clever Tactics Credit for the tactics employed during the convention by the Indiaha group, which kept every one guessing, must go to Paul V. McNutt, the Governor nominee; Frederick Van Nuys, senatorial nominee; Thomas D. Taggart, national committeman, and McHale. But after breaking a tradition of many years—that Indiana was a consistent bandwagon state in politics—the Hoosier delegation leaves here rich in powerful alliances which, it is expected, will prove beneficial four or eight years from now when a favorite son is offered for the presidential nomination. The strategy of the leaders of the delegation proved puzzling to the rabid Roosevelt fans such as R. Earl Peters, state chairman; Robert E. Proctor, Roosevelt’s Indiana manager of Elkhart; and William H. O’Brien of Lawrcnceburg, who wanted to toss in all thirty votes on the first ballot. The fact that Indiana crawled on the wagon only when political horse sense demanded. this step .showed real courage. When Indiana did go Roosevelt, it knew that he was to be the nominee. At no time did the big four lose control of the members and boasts of Peters and Proctor that they could give Roosevelt twenty-five votes were proved to be of naught. The lines held and Indiana, by playing smart politics, remained in a key position until the end. ASK LINDY BABY STAMP Prospostti Says It Would Remind Public of War on Crime. By United Press BELLEVUE. Pa., July 2.—A suggestion that a special red, white and blue postage stamp be issued to commemorate the kidnaped Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. has been made here. Homer J.

HUNT FOR COP’S KILLERS TURNS TO OHIO TOWN Man Believed to Be One of Indianapolis Gunmen Held at Xenia. Police search for two Indianapolis gunmen who shot and killed one policeman and wounded another seriously in a gun battle Wednesday night at Springfield, 0., turned today to Xenia, 0., where a gangster suspect is held for questioning. In a telegram to local police Friday night, Xenia authorities stated tlty had arrested John Marlowe, who was to be taken today to Springfield for possible identification by the wounded policeman. Marlowe, according to Xenia police, confessed and almost immediately repudiated statements that he was implicated in the Springfield shooting. Search is being conducted for Russell Campbell, formerly of 1641 North Capitol avenue and 3314 Northwestern avenue, whose name was found on a driver’s license seized from the bandit's coat by the policeman, who later died. Campbell’s wife Jane, Ernest Clemons, 1138 South Richland avenue, and William Garrison, 1641 North Capitol avenue, were arrested early Thursday at the Richland avenue address after police said Mrs. Campbell was left there when Campbell and a friend left for Springfield. Information that Campbell was seen carrying part of a sawed-off shotgun two nights before the shooting, was given police Friday. Residents in vicinity of the Northwestern avenue dwelling told of seeing Campbell place a section of shotgun barrel in a box in rear of the house Monday night.

By United Press LONDON, July 2.—Since the motorized horse power of modern life has replaced the old four-footed variety, English inns. . no matter how ancient, have had to keep up the pace. The inns, in fact, now within reach of all the large cities by automobile or public bus, have sprung to new life. Superficially they are the same as in stage coach days; huge timbered buildings with interiors lofty, raftered, and corn: but their stables today are garages, and living conveniences and cooking have changed to the style of the modern hotels. One company now controls no less than 180 of these inns.

ROOSEVELT PLEDGED TO PEOPLE’S CAUSE SAYS BRYAN

BY WILLIAM J. BRYAN JR. (Written for United Press) CHICAGO, July 2.—A new leader is born! The Democratic convention after hours of emotional appeal and fulsome oratory on the fourth ballot has chosen as its nominee for President. Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York. The nomination was made with all the tumultuous applause that goes to one who has that gift of God—the personal power and magnetism to touch the hearts of men. To be named the guardian of all the cherished hopes and aspirati&hs of the common people is not only a grave responsibility

GARNER IS SLATED FOR VICE-PRESIDENT

Nomination by One Ballot to Reward Texan for Deadlock End. (Continued from Page One) stadium some time after 3 p. m. The convention is scheduled to convene at 1 p. m. Its first business is to nominate the vice-presidential candidate. One ballot is expected to suffice. Roosevelt won only after a hard battle Friday night. Fighting was bitter. His name was booed from the galleries. His friends were booed even by some of the delegates. The breach between him and his friends and political teammate of four years ago has been widened. Alfred E. Smith fought the battle of a determined man. He held every one of his delegates to the end. The few wTio slipped away did so without his consent. At the end, he remained the only other candidate who had not withdrawn. One one the field of favorite sons dropped out as the balloting progressed. Governor Murray of Oklahoma retired after the first ballot, when his delegates switched to Will Rogers, the humorist. Garner Withdraws Next Speaker Garner withdrew during the afternoon recess, starting the stampede. Then followed on the fourth ballot the withdrawals of Melvin Traylor of Illinois, Governor White of Ohio, former Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, former Governor Byrd of Virginia, and Governor, Ritchie of Maryland. But Smith remained in his hotel sujte. Four years ago Roosevelt mounted the platform at the Houston convention and for the third time appealed to a Democratic national convention to give the presidential nomination to the man he named “The Happy Warriqr.” Smith in turn urged Roosevelt to run for Governor of New York on his ticket. One of Roosevelt's rivals, Reed, took the platform after the nomination of Roosevelt and urged that all Democrats unite against their common enemy. Smith refused to say whether he will support the ticket. His friends assume that he wall support it as a loyal party man. Smith's Tammany Hall friends held out for him to the last. John F. Curry, Tammany leader, despite a factional antagonism to Smith—they are rivals in the hall—chose to stand by him rather than swing to Roosevelt. Stick to Finish They went down on the last ballot still voting Tammany's 63 votes for Smith, thus confirming the United Press dispatch of several days ago in which it was stated that Curry had decided to throw Roosevelt overboard. Since then it has been erroneously reported that Tammany was going to swing to Roosevelt. a report was circulated an hour before Tammany made its final gesture of hostility to Roosevelt by casting its 63 votes for Smith on the last ballot. James A. Farley, Roosevelt's manager, sat on the stage and watched with a thoughtful eye Tammany's last-ditch warfare against Roosevelt. It was the opening act of another political drama. Next to the Tammany chieftain sat the jaunty mayor of New York, Jimmy Walker, who has before him a request from Roosevelt to an-

—it is an honor a king might envy. The Democratic party realizes that the time has come* to decide whether this government shall continue as a government by, of and for the privilege seeking class, or whether it shall be restored as a government by and for all the people. That is the real issue of this election. The convention has given its candidate a platform which makes the issue plain. It pledges the party to call an international conference to consider the rehabilitation of silver, and make the stability of our money no longer dependent on the uncontrolled operation of the international deafer in jold.

Boiled Down More Time--Shorter Plat form, So Democrats Toiled for Weeks.

BY MAX STERN Times Staff Writer CHICAGO, July 2.—On the principle explained by Mark Twain, who wrote a friend that if he had more time his letter would be shorter, the framers of democracy's famous 1,400-word platform labored for weeks to make it a compact document. lits two chief draughtsmen were A. Mitchell Palmer (Pa.) and Senator Cordell Hull (Tenn.). The majority or Smith prohibition plank was the work of Senator David Walsh (Mass.), the rejected minority or Roosevelt plank, that of William Gibbs McAdoo. The tariff proposals, written by Senator Hull, were fashioned after the Wilson-Underhill formula.' The 25 per cent economy reduction mandate was the work of Hull, as were other economic suggestions. The proposal against cancellation of war debts was made by McAdoo. The planks relating to reform of banking practices were framed by Senator Carter Glass (Va.). Proposals pledging the party to compel corporations to give publicity to bonuses, foreign securities sales and otherwise protect investors were largely the work of Huston Thompson, former federal trade commissioner: The unemployment relief planks were suggested by Senator Robert Wagner (N. Y.). The farm relief proposals were chiefly the work of Senator Burton K. Wheeler (Mont.), swer certain questions regarding his official conduct. The last two Democratic Presidents—Cleveland. and Wilson—had to fight Tammany. The opening skirmishes of another feud appear to have begun. Assailed by Hague Roosevelt takes up Democracy's sword bearing some wounds from the recent fight within the party ranks. Less than a week ago Smith’s manager, Frank Hague, assailed Roosevelt as the weakest candidate in the field, a man who could not win if elected. Roosevelt's name and his friends were repeatedly booed by the Chicago galleries during the convention. The hostility to him here—which was partly a reflex of the passionate devotion of Chicagoans to Smith—caused some of his friends to wonder how he would fare at the hands of the galleries in his personal appearance in the stadium today. OPPOSED TO DEACONS Having Been Divorced, They Are Not Fit to Mate. Savg Wife. By T nited Press KANSAS CITY. Mo., July 2. The deacons of the Community Church are “not fit associates for her husband, because six of them have been divorced.” Mrs. W. Kurt Miller charged while seeking a divorce. Colonel Ruby D. Garrett, her husband's attorney, entered a prompt objection. “I am one of the deacons of the church,” he said. But Mrs. Miller’s attorney, Judge John I. Williamson, was equally quick to take exception. He, too, is one of the deacons.

FATHER READY TO PAY RANSOM FOR RICH YOUTH t Early Release for $5,000 Is Predicted by Uncle of Kidnaped Heir. By United Press ST. PAUL, July 2. —Early release of Haskell Bohn. 20-year-old heir of the multi-millionaire Bohn refrigerator family, held by abductors since Thursday, was expected today. Contact with the kidnapers was reported established by telephone by W. B. Bohn, the youth's uncle. He said the kidnap gang promised release of the youth on payment j of $5,000 ransom. G. C. Bohn, father of Haskell, said he was ready to pay the ransom, and willing to co-operate with the kidnapers for release of his son. Police questioned several persons after the kidnaped youth’s father received a telephone call traced to a party line telling him to go to a designated street intersection and obtain instructions for the ransom payment. Bohn, trailed by police, went to the spot and found a note, the contents of which he refused to reveal. The original ransom demand left with the Bohn chauffeur when the youth was kidnaped from the family garage Thursday asked for $35,000 in old bills of low denomination and warned the family not to inform police or “this will be another Lindbergh case.” Federal authorities were co-oper-I ating -with Twin City police in ac- ; cordance with provisions of the new j federal kidnap law. TAXES DISTRIBUTED State Board to Get Report on Split Next Week. Report of distribution of $lO,488,201 in spring tax payments to state, city and county taxing units will be made to the state tax board next week, County Auditor Charles Grossart has announced. Grossart said delinquencies in the county in the last year increased SBOO,OOO more than the 1931 delinquency total of $1,183,345, with outstanding delayed payments totaling. $1,996,544. Os this amount, $1,462,105 fell delinquent in the last year. Total county collections in the spring installment were $10,501,701, less $15,500 in sequestered taxes, Grossart said. Among units to share in the net collection, the state will receive sl,231.473; the county will get sl,231,473, and the Indianapolis school city will be paid $3,987,027. COYOTES KILLING DEER ! Bands. Led by Wolves, Attacking Herds in California. By United Press HOLLISTER. Cal., July 2.—Coyote bands, led by gaunt, gray wolves, are slaughtering the deer herds of Pinnacles National Monument, visitors to the reservation Report. Fearing the deer would be completely wiped out, national park authorities sent a government trapper into the reservation several I months ago. He caught forty coyotes and three prairie wolves. The recent discovery of eight car- , casses of deer slaughtered by coyotes i and wolves, however, has caused j Pinnacles officials to renew their 1 trapping activities.

There is a vast amount of difference between a contract to submit the question of repeal of the eighteenth amendment to a vote of the people and pledging its repeal as a canon of partisan party principle.

STAMPEDE BRINGS ROAR OF PROTEST

Exhausted Delegates Rush Pell-IVlell to Join in Roosevelt Drive. (Continued from Page One) for any old kind of riding space that could be had on the Roosevelt band wagon. Cermak announced the allegiance of Illinois. Governor Albert C. Ritchie had his brief say through a microphone from the floor. The proxy of Governor William (Alfalfa Bill) Murry almost missed the Roosevelt special. The big cop never had heard of John A. Simpson or the National Farmers’ union. “Get me Senator Wheeler,” screamed Simpson. ' Outside,” said the cop But Simpson, an Oklahoman with Murray's votes for Roosevelt on the tip of his tongue, was not being put off by the police. Eager But Exhausted He shouted some more, finally attracted the attention of persons on the platform, and soon was up there and addressing the crowd, to the considerable surprise and * uneasiness of the cop. “Who in the hell is that guy?” inquired the officer. “John A. Simpson,” he was told. “Well, I never heard of that guy, but I guess it was all right,” the officer said and hoped the matter would drop there. It did. Delegates, meantime, were eager but exhausted. There was one whooping descent on the platform when all but half a dozen or so of the state banners were clustered there. Farley grinned. • A bevy of Roosevelt-for-President United States senators slapped each other on the back. Others of the Roosevelt leadership signaled to the crowd to put on a show. Some Stick With A1 But that crowd was tired. Perhaps it was just as well. There were a few silent, sore spots among the cheering hundreds. Alfred E. Smith was not one of those who surrendered his battle to stop Roosevelt. He lost, but he didn’t quit. On the final roll call eight states gave him votes, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Wisconsin, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania. And Massachusetts particularly was unhappy. All its thirty-six votes went for Smith. Word passed that someone might try to take the Masachusetts standard into the Roosevelt melee. John D. O’Connor, Boston, and former Holy Cross football star, decided otherwise. He recruited M. E. Tryn, Stockbridge; Edward F. O'Hearn. Brookline, and Miles G. Neff, Fall River. Together, these four, scaling 190 or so pounds each, took the standard into the center of the Massachusetts delegation and grasped it firmly, and they looked an invitation to all comers to try’ and get it. None did. They’re Sore at Curley Massachusetts contributed liberally and loud to the boos that billowed around McAdoo.
