Hotel no one could be found last even
ing who would attempt TO explain the
Americans stories concerning the situa-
ZION in Indiana. Mr.. sherwood agreed that
the statement that Taggart had conceded
Indiana to Hearst was absurd. but he said
he could not speak for the bureau. In an
afternoon paper J. Oscar Henderson. who
is at the head of the bureau was credited
with the statement that Hearst had car
ried from fifty-five to sixty of the counties
that had already chosen delegates to the
state convention. This statement is some
what inconsistent with the figures OF the
state committee showing that but sixty
one counties have selected delegates and

most active of the Hearst organizers, has
not lost heart because he was showed I'M

American says:
THE snap primaries and the secret meet
ing to select men to represent the snap
pers' at the St Louis convention have
stirred loyal Democrats all over the state
to high pitch of resentment.
Unless the state convention OF Indiana
shall right this wrong the Democrats OF
the great Seventh district will feel that
they are not represented in the Indiana
state convention and will be possessed of
ample proof OF this claim and foundation
for the feeling.
The threat to bolt is implied. but is APP
