TAGGART ALLIES ARE ACTIVE
Plan to Thwart Gov. Marshall Mt
Indiana Convention.

Indianapolis. Ind. April 1z-Tom Tag
CART. State Chairman Jackson. and mem
bers of the State central committee In
opposition to Gov. Marshall have Sc
lected the committee on resolutions for
the State convention. and are working in
all thirteen Congressional districts to
have the men chosen by the district con-
ventions at which the members Of the
several convention committees will be
selected. Nearly all men thus chosen are
recognized as men OF influence in their
district and it is said that they reafirm
the platform of two years ago on the
liquor question, and TO a man are OBJ
posed to naming a candidate for the
United States Senate at the convention.
The plan as developed by Taggart and
his friends Is to have the committee on
organization report rule requiring all
resolutions presented to the convention 10
be sent TO the committee on resolutions
without reading, and then have the lat
ter committee ignore all resolutions ex-
cept those 1t DEGREES shall go into the
