in favor of the Southern party. The suit was filed last week by Ralph E. Hanley, as an Indianapolis taxpayer, and the order was issued without a hearing by Judge Lloyd Claycombe. 'Fraudulent Names’ Joseph Workman, secretary pf the states righters in Indiana, said today there may be some fradulent names on the petitions. He said that an organizer of the party, who came in from out of the state, had paid Solicitors to get signatures. “He paid them for each sheet,’’ Workman said. “I don’t know just what happened, but I guess that those getting the signatures just saw an easy way to make money and turned in fradulent signatures. Now everything is ruined.” The rebel Democarts, already under fire from the regular Democrats, individuals and progessives, drew another suit today. Reccie T. Avington, an Indianapolis insurance man, asked an injunction against the party to keep the states righters off the ballot. His suit charged the party, platform violates Indiana’s Anti-hate law.

the suP, Governor Gates, chairman of the Election board, said that the question is whether there are the necessary valid signatures on the petition and that he would confer with Cleon H. Foust, attorney general, before making a state- 1 ment.

County clerks must pick them up in 10 days and they have not yet come from the printer, and , may be delayed by the legal ac- | tion.
