Charles Halleck, Rensselaer, first keynote speaker. Mrs. Eleanor Barker Snodgrass, newly elecled national committeewoman, also spoke. While most of the women delegates wore light fall or winter overcoats, the men came in more summery attire. Straw hats were in a slight majority over felt head pieces. Meanwhile the convention resolutions committee held in readiness for presentation a platform which it believes will benefit farmers, labor and capital. It includes the following main points. While six gubernatorial candidates sought to line-up delegates in bandwagon movements as the 1723 delegates met to name a state ticket, the convention resolutions committee held in readiness for presentation a platform incorporating the following main points:
1. Elimination’ of the emergency |?
clause in the $1 and $1.50 tax law. 2. Immediate repeal of gross income tax law and the enactment of a net income tax law. 3. Elimination of the state tax levy on property for school relief and the .general fund. 4. Reduction in state gasoline tax and automobile license fees. 5. Repeal of the state reorganization act which the platform says “centered in Gov. McNutt an absolute machine control which is revolting to Indiana citizens regardless of politics.” 6. Restoration of the office of Attorney General to an elective instead of an appointive position. 7. Pledge of state support for salaries of school teachers at a rate of not less than $600 per annum for each teacher. 8. A plank recognizing the merit system in employing state workers through the installation of a public personnel management in state government.
Proposes Liquor Act Repeal
9. Repeal of the liquor control act and denouncing the act as “flagrant and scandalous misuse of official
power.” 10. Administration of relief and social security through local officials and charging the present relief system with being “wasteful and bureaucratic.” 11. Denouncement of the socalled Democratic “2 Per Cent Club” and the collection of monthly assessments from state employes. 12. Condemnation of the present state administration's attitude toward labor. Insistance that labor has a right to organize without coercion from government and expressing belief in collective bargaining- rights. 13. Enactment of protective tariff; ressoration of the American market to the farmer; farmer control of soil
| conservation; opposition to regimen-
tation in any form. = Stahds for Balanced Budget
14. Constitutional government to be changed by constitutional methods; sound money; balanced budget in national affairs; least possible interference by government in business. 15. Opposition to any doctrine advocating the use of force or violence. The platforms plank calling for removal of the “emergency clause” in the $1 and $1.50 law, the repeal of the gross income tax and establishment of a net income tax, were taken as bids for support of the Indiana Farm Bureau, taxpayers’ organizations, and retail grocers and merchants. Home ruler advocates and township trustees, according to observers, are given voice in the proposed platform with the declarations to continue relief and social security under the wing of “local units.”
The resolutions committee worked until early today on the platform !

In a broadside denunciation of McNutt rule, the third convention keynoter accused the present administration of failure to fulfill campaign promises and of gross deception in its fiscal and social welfare claims. : Senator Jenner derided “the galloping Governor” who, he said, had established “the worst liquor racket ever known in Indiana” and through his concentrated powers was offering “a hand-picked candidate to be his:successor.” In contrast to: all. this; he said, the Republican Party is pledged “to return home rule to the people, to divorce politics from relief, and to liberate the Legislature from ‘brain trust’ éontrol and from dictation by the Governor or Federal Administration.” Interspersing figures with quips at the expense of the Democratic ad-

will convene June 9.
The beginning
Hotel lobby reports that “it is in the bag for Landon on the first ballot,” were followed quickly by stories that a deal was on to snare Michigan's votes for the Kansan by. offering the vice presidential spot to Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigan. There has been no echo of applause in the Landon camp, so far for the suggestion of J. Henry Roraback of Connecticut
that the Republican ticket be Landon and Rep. James W. Wadsworth of New York. John D. M. Hamilton, Landon campaign manager; welcomed Roraback’s tender of Connecticut’s votes for Landon, bul would not comment on the vice presidential nomination. Fletcher and the convention committee on arrangements decided to invite Hoover to speak here. He probably will appear on June 10, one week from today. Replying to questions with a show of annoyance, Fletcher explained ‘that the arrangements committee, ‘of which he also is chairman, had authority to invite speakers and that it was not a matter for the convention itself to pass upon. He compared the selection of such a speaker to provision of bands, singers and other “time killing” entertainment which must be provided for delegates while they wait for the report of their platform committee. Nominating speeches ordinarily do not begin until the platform has been adopted. ’
Conciliation Is Keynote
The Hoover invitation conforms with strategy of Landon’s managers to conciliate as many party factions
week that the former President be invited to speak. Hoover has heen considered by many observers to be opposed to Landon’s candidacy. There was evidence of unrest at Borah headquarters. Some committee members took the position that if Hoover were invited to speak all Republican candidates be given the platform privilege—~this despite Hoover’s recent announcement that he was not a candidate for the nomination. If Fletcher and the arrangements committee decide against inviting any but Hoover to -j address the convention, the ‘Borah
