Indianapolis April 5.-The
committee on resolutions of the
Republican State convention is
reported early this morning to
have refused to take up the coum-
ty option question in the platform
which they are framing for the
convention today.
The vote on the proposition is
said to have been IL to 9. The
committee met at 8 o'clock last
night and early this morning was
still in session.
According to reliable informa-
ton from the committee room the
temperance Question was brought
UP by George B. Lockwood OF
Marion, member of the commit
tee from the Eleventh district,
after most OF the other points in
the platform had been gone over
Mr.. LOckwood's proposition to
endorse the county option law is
said to have provoked a long dis
cussion which terminated in the
defeat OF the movement.
The platform as will be repre-
scented to the convention today
will, it is said. contain no en-
dorsement of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law but will favor the prin-
ciple Of protective tariff. Upon
good information it was learned
also that it will contain an en-
dOrsement of the administrator Oh
President Taft.
Delegates to the convention
met by districts early last night
and eleced the following as mem
bers of the committee on resc.u-

The liquor question, which was
taken up by the committee, short
,ly before midnight proved hand
nut to crack and prediction oil
many of the leaders had it that
! the committee would wrestle ri
the wee small hours before il
would be adjusted. Several of the
leaders, among them James
Bingham, attorney general, who
desires to run for governor III
1912 on his record as a foe to the
liquor traffic and Carl Milton, at
torney for the Anti-Saloon league
were expected to appear before
the committee took final vote on
the question. The problem dur
ing the session was even more
talked of among the delegates
than the tariff plank, with opin-
ion about evenly divided as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of endorsing the
county option law.
