DEMOCRATIC SENATE CHOICE STILLINDOUBT Peters, Minton and Manion Top List; McNutt Flays G. 0. P. (Continued From Page One) the new budget had been marked by unprecedented frugality and passed the lie directly to Major Imrie on the latter’s charge that Governor McNutt had increased the state’s deficit. Major Imrie had said that Governor McNutt started with $17,000,000 in cash and that this was down to $15,000,000. Governor McNutt said he had started with $13,591,694 and now had $15,419,813, a gain of approximately $2,000,000 rather than a deficit of that much. “With a characteristic disregard for truth, the Republican spokesman missed in his calculations by about $4,000,000!” Governor McNutt charged. Chaos or Order? His speech was replete with details of state financing, both as to income and expense. In another portion of his address, which stirred the packed hall to frequent applause, the Governor discussed revision of the utilities law which, he said, had been demanded by “an outraged populace.” He also dwelt at length on relief, repeating that the state's duty to its unfortunates could not —and would not—be overlooked under any circumstances. This would remain true no matter how great the need for economy, he declared. In conclusion, the Governor said: “The issue in this campaign is clear cut. The choice is between chaos and order!” The convention next heard committee reports and adopted the party platform. The platform, read’by Perry McCart. chairman of the platform advisory committee, favored establishment of a state liquor control board and favored retention of the gross income tax. The latter suggestion was incorporated into the platform in the face of a warning from the Associated Retailers of Indiana and the Indiana Retail Grocers Association that retention of the law might cost the party 250,090 votes in the fall campaign. The two organizations have influence on 300,000 persons and will use that influence against the party, if the gross income tax law is retained, the platform committtee was told. In the gross income tax law plank a net income tax is favored when it is made possible by a constitutional amendment. Effect of establishing a liquor control board would be to abolish the office of excise director and the proposed liquor control law would be merely provisional until it could be supplanted by a better statute. Legislation for reduction of prices also is promised, apparently in reference to the $2 a gallon tax on hard liquor. Other Planks Approved Other important planks in the j platform include: Reduction of governmental ex- J pense. Retention of the intangibles tax law. Legislation providing free textbooks for school children. Retention of the old-age pension law with the statement that it has not had an opportunity yet to prove its value because of local tax conditions. Use of indirect taxes solely for reduction of the property tax. Use of the gasoline tax exclusively for highway construction. Repeal of the state tax board’s authority to make horizontal increases in assessed valuations. Use of the merit system in engaging and promoting state police j officers. Developments last night in the j muddled senate race included a meeting of the Peters delegates and keymen at the Spink-Arms and victories by Peters in delegate contests before the credentials committee. The former state chairman, who is staging a “lone wolf” fight for the senate nomination, won three contests on delegates from Allen, his home county, and another from Sheiby. Straws that may show the Peters strength is much more than he is credited with were in committee elections. The administration, which is opposing Peters bitterly, took two trouncings and won only one Victory. Second District Balks Walter Chambers, state senator from Newcastle, and an administration man, was defeated by William Dentlinger, Connersville mayor. John Day De Prez. Shelbyville, an anti-administration man, defeated Samuel Trabue, public service commission member, for membership on the rules and peranent organization committee. The Second district repudiated Peters when it elected Lawrence Corey, Monticello editor, as chairman of the meeting and also named an administration candidate on the resolutions committee. The Fifth district, which finds itself in a peculiar position because of divided allegiance to two favorite sons in the senate race, found a way out of its difficulty. It was decided to throw the solid delegation to Mr. Rauch or Mr. Cole, according to which candidate showed the greatest strength on the first ballot. There are few contests for places on the state ticket to be chosen after the senate nomination is disposed of. The field of candidates includes: August Mueller, Indianapolis, and Dr. T. A. Sigler, Greencastle, secretary of state; Lawrence Sullivan, auditor; Timothy P. Sexton, Indianapolis, and Peter Hein, Crown Point, state treasurer; Floyd I. McMurray, Lebanon, state superintendent of public instruction; Fred Pickett, Richmond, and Paul Stump, Crawfordsville, clerk of the supreme and appellate courts; George L. Tremain, Greensburg; John Paris, New Albany and William D. Ricketts, Rising Sun, supreme court judge, one to be elected. Posey T- Kime. Evansville, incumbent, William H. Bridwell, Sullivan, incumbent, and Louis N. Savage, RockfJort, judges of the southern appellate division, two to be nominated; Harvey J. Curtis, Gary, incumbent, and Alfonso C. Wood, Angola, Incumbent, judges of the northern appellate division, two to be nominated.

HOUSING BILL FIGHTSTARTS Administration’s Hold on Congress Faces Test in House. By United Press WASHINGTON, June 12.—The administration hold on congress approached a vital test in the house today when the scope of the housing rogram was challenged in a fight which may delay adjournment. The senate was ready to take up the permanent appropriations bill after approving the silver proposal and rejecting the bonus. Administration leaders found the list of signers to a house “round robin” against adjournment until labor legislation is acted on growing steadily. These threats in the house to a calm adjournment challenged the ingenuity of the leadership. Despite charges by Harry L. Hopkins, federal relief administrator, and the national emergency council that the housing bill as reported to the house by the banking and currency committee was “unsatisfactory” the group decided to bring the measure up today without the requested revisions. The committee eliminated the national mortgage associations plan, and refused to approve making of twenty-year mortgage loans by commercial banking institutions. The silver bill, in keeping with administration desires, was passed by the senate almost without change from the form it passed the house. The bonus bill was defeated 51-31 in a surprise move without debate and without excitement. The vote on the bonus came when Senator Henrik Shipstead (F.-L., Minn.), offered the house bill as a rider to the silver measure. The action is expected to head off a future vote on the bonus.
