for the presidential nomination and tnat
a victory was assured for Parker SIX
weeks before the convention.
Chairman oErien also took occasion to
end the controversy or discussion over
convention Of July - by declaring that
only the delegates and a}ternates 10 the
convention of May u would be recognized
and seated at the next convention. Tfere
occasion for an argument over shts
matter. he said, as il had been clearly ana

Local politicians were entertained yes
terday by the attack made on J. oscar
Henderson. Hearst's Indiana representa-
tive, by the Democratic state organ. which
is controlled by National Committeeman
Taggart. The Sentinel yesterday featured
on its first page an article criticising and
rdiculing Mr.. Henderson for the interest
he had displayed in party affairs by ad-
dressing letter TO the Democratic county
chairmen throughout the State urging upon
them the need of revision of the party
rules and making inquiries concerning the
manner ma on the selection of the delegate. 10
the recent state convention. and whether
the delegates were selected for one or two
conventions. The Sentinel says:
The apparent sole object OF the Hearst
fayroilers in Indiana at present. seems TO
be TO stir up some dissatisfaction so that
they may give evidence of their devotion
10 the conquered banner they were in
duced' TO support"
The Sentinel further charges that mfr.
Henderson and his associates have sevi-
IDENTIFY taken 1t upon themselves to. re-
strict, hamper and. If they could embar-
rass the state organization"
When ii is recalled that Mr. Henderson
stands the representative Of element
OF Indiana Democracy that controlled
almost six hundred votes out of the l547
in the recent state convention, such an
attack upon him in the party's state organ
cannot but occasion surprise. II certainly
gives evidence OF the sadly disrupted con-
dition Of the party in this State and OF the
futlity of all talk and effort to the. end
that the Hearst-Bryan and Parker wings
of the party be brought together and har-
monized.
