McGill of Valparaiso is a candidate for delegate to the national Democratic contention from this district. Delegates are selected at the state convention. Tippecanoe County Democrat: Congressman Will R. Wood did not come home to help his friends in the primary. He was too busy playing peanut politics and doing all he could to embarrass the president in this critical time. It was the concensus of opinion among his friends here that he made a monstrous mistake Tuesday when he voted against the president’s foreign policy. The Republican district convention to elect a district chairman was held here yesterday afternoon. Dr. W. F. Smith of Gary, the present chairman, it was expected would be elected, although it was understood Dr. Bell of Hammond was an active candidate for the place and Lawrence Lyons of Brook was a receptive candidate.
