Indianapolis, March 31--Several confer

pubilcans on the subject of platform pro-

State convention.
The planks as agreed are 70 be submit

that they viii be adopted in the main as
agreed 10 in the several conferences
where the subjects have been discussed.
The position that the party shall take
on local option is regarded as the most
important locally that will present itself

decided on a pronouncement in favor of
local option with the county as the unit,
with a provision that this is not to in

but shall be supplementary to the Nicn-

Il
kept control of the thirteenth district.
Had Charles B. Page. the Parsons candi-

leader Of that assembly district. Odell
would not only have lost the district, but
it would have meant that William Hal

have been elected to the committee at the

The Parsons leaders not only hold their
own in every one of their districts, but in
most Of them they increased their ma

Senator McCarren was greatly elated
over his triumphs In Brooklyn, and he
showed more feeling than he usually does,
when he said that he had carried his own
assembly district by something like 1.5OC
majority, and that in other districts he
had beaten his opponents by 10, 9, and

The result Of the Democratic primaries
will leave McCarren in control OF the ex-
