LOCAL BRIEFS

| for Governor Gates as an active

of Joseph J. Daniels, 11th district chairman, as had been the governor’s wish.

Acceptance Predicted If Governor Gates finally accepts Mr. Morris’ terms of resignation, and there is no doubt among other party leaders that he will, the air will be cleared of any remaining doubt about the Governor's own

national aspirations. Party leaders insist he will accept the national committee post primarily to command more respect for the Indiana organization from national Republican brass. There

would appear to be little point to

this unless the state G. O. P. intended to bid for national office and it was not regarded as likely Governor Gates would go all out to enhance the chances of Congressman Charles Halleck or Senator Homer E. Capehart along these lines. Mr. Halleck and Senator Capehart are the only two Hoosiers outside of the .Governor himself who are conceded stature in a national sense. Mention Cabinet Post The French Lick meeting also brought out sharply that Governor Gates will not be discouraged in his quest for a post in the federal government even if he does not win nomination as vice presidential candidate. Several party leaders realize that if an Ohioan should be the presidential candidate for the Republicans, a Hoosier wouldn't have a chance for second spot. They casually mention possibility of a cabinet post. Certainly the prominence possible

member of the national committee would increase the chance of his getting ‘a cabinet bid should the next national administration be Republican. Because of his navy experience in the first world war, it is assumed he would like to be secertary of the navy. He might also settle for commerce or interior department posts, his cautious supporters say, Whatever the outcome, the weekend development left no doubt that the Gates faction of the G. O. P in Indiana is intent on sending its leader to. Washington in 1949. Barring unforseen developments, Mr. Morris is expected to turn in his resignation formally the next state committee meeting scheduled early in October,
