There has been little discussion as to

is practically certain that John r. Wilson
will be reelected to the national commit

The conference of the delegation yester-
day gave a considerable impetus to, the
movement for a State ticket. In mixing
with the delegates from other states the
Indiana delegates find a strong sentiment
amsng the National Democrats toward
having q State ticket in all the cehtr3l
States that are considered fighting ground:
Illinois. Michigan and Missouri have led
the way. Wisconsin and Minnesota are sure
10 follow and there is a feeling that Indi-
ana should do likewise and make this fight
all afopU the line.
