G. O. P. State Chairman John H. Lauer charged today that “disharmony prevails” among Indiana’ Democrats and that disorganization was demonstrated at their French Lick meeting last week-end. The attempted organization of a “good government” club in Indiana with nowhere the mention of the name of Roosevelt is the tip-off on future campaign strategy, Mr. Lauer said. “Why don’t the present Democratic leaders organize a Roosevelt ackson Good Government club,” he asked. “We all know that won't be done, Strange, too, Shab It 38 Decetry to So outside the

firm the current story that: the Democratic state chairman and organization are being left out in the cold in the deliberations now going on. “Fight a Losing Battle” “No campaign can be a good campaign when it has to fight a losing battle. Dissension and disorganization creep in. False moves, like that of announcing a good government club without a chairman, are repeated and repeated.” (The chairman, Fred Hoke of Indianapolis, who is chairman of the state welfare board, withdrew because of the Hatch act) The G. O. P. chairman said it "was now more than ever evident that the Democratic party leaders have become convinced that Sidney Hillman's great influence in the Democratic party machinery never will be by Indiana voters, including. faithful Democratic party

supporters. “Yet,” he said, “there has been no repudiation of this leadership.”

The delegates explained. however, that they would not hesitate to locate elsewhere if adequate facilities to take care of its growth were not made available in Fadianapolis, Legionnaires who saw the architect’s drawings of three additional buildings suggested for the war

memorial plaza in Indianapolis, however, were enthusiastic about the project. Failing to put across his recommendation for moving the national headquarters, National Commander Warren Atherton proposed that a sum, not to exceed $400,000, be spent by the Legion to provide more facilities in Washington than the present $250,000 office building owned by the Legion there, William E. Brown, Indiana's department commander, said in opposing the movement: “There must not be politics in veterans’ affairs. If the Legion's national headquarters were located in Washington a bunch of lobbyists would be running the Legion. The

Legion exerts more influence and

its perspective is more sound with

its location at the center of population of the United States, namely, in Indianapolis.” Besides the interest in the location of national headquarters, Indiana delegates -have at stake the reappointment of two national officers. They are John Ruddick, national treasurer, Ralph Gregg, national judge advocate.
