they could to prevent a serious factional break in party lines over the Governor ‘fight. They were trying to keep the ‘delegate fights isolated against & major division in the ranks in order to present a united front in November. Healing of the old factional sores was declared an accomplished fact] at the State Committee reorganiza- | tion meetings a week ago and “we're | going to Keep it that way,” said Mr. Bobbitt. District Caucuses Set
Next to the gubernatorial contest, the selection of delegates to the National G. O. P. Convention at Philadelphia June 24 attracted the most attention of party leaders, Twelve separate district caucus | kessions wil be held by delegate organizations at the State House and at the Claypool Hotel, starting at) 7:30 o'clock toright.

Among those campaighing for National Convention posts is fore mer U. S. Senator James E. Watson, veteran Hoosier Republican

Denny Heads Committee
A study committee, headed by George IL. Denny, Indianapolis ate torney, has been caucusing for two days on an outline of the convention platform which the nominees will carry to the voters in the fall. The platform will be drafted in final form and adopted by the Resolutions Committee tonight for presentation to the convention tomorrow, Its major plank is expected to espouse the “home rule” government by taking awhy powers of state government and turns ing it back to local communities. Pressure was exerted by the Indiana Council of United Dry Forces to include a plank for local option liquor sales. The Council announced that it will present & petition, bearing 50,000 names, urging that a local option plank be inserted in the party platform, “The present liquor law makes no ‘provision of any kind for local option,” the Council's said. . Voters Can Decide
- “The voters of counties and townships are entitled to determine for themselves whether alcoholic beverages may be legally sold in their communities.” The attitude of some party leaders has been a “little cool” toward injecting any dry issue into the campaign this year.
The platform is expected to con-| tain a scathing denunciation of the
Democratic Two Per Cent Club method of raising campaign funds through assessments on the wages of public employees, Planks dealing with agricultural reforms and reductions in governmental spending also are certain to be in the platform, party leaders said. A total of 33 candidates is expected to seek nominations for the 11 offices to be voted tomorrow.
