INDIANAPOLIS. April 24-The repub-
lican state convention adjourned tonight
after nominating the above ticket.
The first business was the presentation
Of the report Of the committee on resolu-
tions. The committee was not able to re-
port promptly because 1t was unable to
agree even as late $50 upon some OF the
planks. There was hot fight over the in
sertion Of the clause indorsing the gold
standard. II had been decided to advocate
plank in which some members Of the
committee thought they could detect an ap-
proval of bank asset currency. II was
stricken out after a lengthy debate and the
plank found in the platform was adopted.
The resolutions committee reported at 9:45.
The report was read and unanimously
adopted 1t was as follows:
