Age Old Democratic Cry of “Beat The Republicans” Still Echoes At lloosier Capital. INDIANAPOLIS, June 7. (CP) — The age old Democratic cry uf “beat the Republicans” permeated the air here today as delegates to the Democratic state convention returned to their homes after nominating tho 'slate of officers which will bear 1 their party standard in the fall elec1 tion. Yesterday afternoon, the delegate > ; unanimously agreed that Frank C. I Dailey should be their gubernatorial candidate. Dailey received the nomination for governor on the first balI lot taken at the convention. ! He had more than the required 593 j votes for nomination when the roll •cull for the ballot was but a little more than half over. Fifty three <>f the ninety two Indiana counties polled so heavily for him that his total was more than tiOO after they had voted. The final totals for all four candidates who received votes on the ballot were: Dailey, 878; John E. Frederick, Kokomo, 275; George M. Dale, Muncie, 10; and Earl Crawford, Milton, 22. After it was seen that Dailey had wen the nomination, it was moved that he be accorded a unanimous vote. Frt derick seconded the motion and the convention concurred in a wild outburst of cheering. A fight developed in the attempts to nominate a lieutenant governor and this nomination was not made until il.r. third ballot, when Addison Drake ox Fairbanks, received 001 votes to
win.
ihe contO-t for socretury of stuto required only one ballot. Arthur J.
