INDIANA REPUBLICANS

Payne-Aldrich Tariff Law Ignored by Convention. The Republicans of Indiana met in state convention at Indianapolis, nominated a ticket, adopted a platform and adjourned with apparent good feel-

though there was disappointment over the tariff plank which ignored the Payne-Aldrich law, and over local option which was not mentioned in the platform at all. The convention was opened with a ringing speech by Senator Albert J. Beveridge, in which he defended hisj fight in congress for downward revision of the tariff and his vote against the Aldrich-Payne bill The following nominations were made by acclamation, there being only one candidate for each office: Secretary of state, Ottis E. Gulley, Danville; auditor of state, John E. Reed. Muncie; clerk supreme court, Edward V. Fitzpatrick, Portland; judge supreme court. Second district, Oscar H. Montgomery, Seymour; appellate judges, .Ward H. Watson, Charlestown, and C. C. Hadley. Danville; treasurer of state, Jonce Monyhan, Orleans; attorney general. Finley P. Mount, Crawfordsville. “
