days. Grocers reported their sugar sales lower last week because housewives were using surplus supplies. They expected a decline in sugar prices this week Butter and eggs were up 3 to 4 cents. Potatoes were up as much as 7 cents a peck in sone cities Bread, coffee and tea generally remained unchanged from pre-war prices. Milk also held steady but was up 1 cent a quart in a few Midwestern cities because droughtstricken pastures had cut supplies. Excitement over the war had disappeared from the livestock markets. Farmers who had held back

their stock in the hope of receiv-|

ing higher prices, shipped a heavy volume last week.

Factions Aligned |

However, it was reported that the followers of former Senator James E. Watson had aligned themselves! with the faction headed by Ralph| Gates, Columbia City, Fourth District chairman, who has been lead-! ing the movement to unseat Mr. | Bobbitt. The Watson group formerly was identified with the faction led by | Ewing Emison, Vincennes, Seventh District chairman, who has been {opposed to a change in leadership until the statutory date for reorganization next May. The anti-Bobbitt faction was hamstrung temporarily by the widespread party indorsement of Homer E. Capehart as an Indiana “favorite son” for the G. O. P. Presidential nomination. Mr. Capehart rose to party prominence through cooperation of Mr. Bobbitt and his colleagues.

“It will be up to vou voters next | year to rid the State House of the | ‘beer racket’, the ‘black top’ racket land last but not least the ‘school textbook racket,”” he said amid resounding cheers. ; Mr. Bobbitt vigorously attacked the national administration, assailing Government leaders as the “double dealers” who call themselvés the “New Dealers.” All speakers appealed to the voters “to help the nation back to sanity and sound government” at the polls next year, Republican leaders in charge of the meeting estimated that the crowd at the Fair Grounds totaled between 18,000 and 255000.
