Marion county Democratic leaders have
agreed, although no authoritative an
nouncement has been made. that their coun-
ty and congressional conventions shall not
be held Until after the national convention.
! and possibly not until after the state con-
vention. July 20. The reason ascribed for
| the unusual delay is that the Democrats de-
sire to bunch all their conventions and
not have them strung out during the next
sixty days. The real reason. however. is
| that there is a woeful lack of timber for
Democratic candidates and that couple OF
months will be required 10 persuade men
| who would give any strength TO the ticket
| to permit the use of their names as candi-
dates.
Terre Haute Republicans are preparing
| for an unusual demonstration June g. when

ernor, and John l.. Griffiths. OF this city.
| will be on the toast list and an effort is be-
| ing made to secure Senators Fairbanks and
