THE INDIANA MEETING
DECIDES NOT TO PUT A STATE TICK
EFT IN THE FIELD.
Packard Demanded Overwhelmingly
Poll on Presidential Preferences.

Early yesterday morning the Indiana DEL
egation met in the Lemcke building TO can
vass its vote for presidential preferences
After a few minutes the tally Stood
Palmer, 10; Bynum, 4; Villas 3; Watterson,
3, and Bragg, l. These sentiments were
not iron clad, and this was shown by ex-
Congressman Ford, of South Bend who
said: In the event of only one or two
candidates, all the votes will probably be
cast for Palmer. The Indiana vote will be
determined by the exigencies of the con-
vention."
S. o. Pickens was chosen chairman and
G. w. Mcdonald secretary of the delega-
ton.
The question of putting a State sound
, money Democratic ticket in the field was
discussed in the afternoon and
both sides on the question were
ing it. Chairman Pickens and State Bank
Examiner Packard of Plymouth. had
talk in regard to it. Mr.. PickenS said
he did not think it was expedient for the
sound-money Democrats of Indiana to put
out a State ticket, he thought it would
make a reunion of the Democratic forces
in the State more difficult in the future.
and the State ticket would not play very
important part in the campaign as TAR as
the results on the financial question were
concerned.
Mr.. Packard said the sound-mcney Dem
ocrats of South Bend demanded sound
money State ticket. He said that although
he had friends the silver Democratic
State ticket, he would not support them
even if his father were among their num-
Der. Shively, he continued, made dark
lantern campaign of the State in 50, and
he is the who stirred up the silver
sentiment over the State He said along
with these Considerations. the Indianapolis
Sentinel had vilified the gold Democrats of
the State to such an extent that he would
vote the Republican State ticket straight
before supporting Shively and his follow
ers Mr. Packard said he would like
chance to express himself before the Indi-
committee, and Mr.. Pickens said Re
would be placed on the advisory commit
tee. where he will have that chance.
1t finally decided not to put State
ticket out. All but two of the committee
men were present when this decision was
reached. Mr.. Pickens declined to say aft
erWardS whether this decision was made
not to oppose Shively or in order to
make a union with the two wings of the
party more easily effected after the cleo
ton. Mr.. Wilson said that, for himself. he
had opposed the State-ticket idea all along,
because without one the party would pull
together quicker in the future. This set
ties the matter, unless q convention is
called to consider the committees action,
which is highly improbable.

game was not very old when Rogers and
another boy whose name is not known be-
came ged in an argument over some
disputed play One word led to another
until the unknown boy pulled his pocket
knife from his trousers and made a lunge
at Rogers. The blade struck him below the
chin and made q bad wound from which
much blood flowed. The city ambulance
was called and removed Rogers to the hos
pitai, where the cut was seWed up and
given proper attention. Rogers does not
know the name of his assailant, but the po-
lice were notified of the occurrence and are
looking for the young man.
