INDIANAPOLIS, May 29.-Practice
for the second annual 50O-mile Inter
national Sweepstakes race, to be run
on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
tomorrow, is ended and the drivers
and their assistants are today putting
their racing cars in final condition
for the great test of speed and endur-
ance. There is every prospect of ex-
ceeding fast time in the race as the
practice during the past few days has
shown that the course is fast, some
of the drivers having driven laps at
close to 100 miles an hour.
On account of the number of prom
inent automobile concerns which have
withdrawn from racing, the field to-
morrow will not be as large as last
year. But the objection last season
was that too many cars, forty-two
were allowed to start, and the manage
ment claimed the large field was, TO
a great extent, responsible for the &C.

by the party was set forth by the
prohibition hosts of this state in to-
days session of the state convention
at Tomlinson hall. Besides taking a
stand for women's suffrage in their
platform the prohi3itionists put foot
forward in a general Endorsement of
''the Improvement of men and women
as the highest national conservation" :"
This is taken as an advance action
and the prohibitionists are perhaps
science of eugenics, or the scientific
production of human thoroughbreds.
The introduction of such a plank caus-
ed surprise in the convention. 1t was
brought in merely as the final clause
of section which favors the scientif-
ic conservation of minerals, ores and
other resources of the country. The
platform also decries the social evil
and the white slave traffic. Another
plank declares for the initiative and
referendum, another for the arbitra-
tien of all difficulties between capital
and labor. The prohibition of child
labor under any conditions detrimen-
tai to health is favored.

EMERSON SAYS THE T|TAN|C'S
FATE WAS SEALED IN ADVANCE
Ky, DEMOCRATS IN
CONVENTION TO-DAY
Clark and Wilson Supporters
Are Making a Desper-
ate Campaign.
(National News Association

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 29.-Ken-
tucky's twenty-six delegates to the
Democratic national convention will
be selected in this city today. The
state convention, which will name the
four delegates-at-large preceded ear
lier in the day by the conventions of
the eleven congressional districts, the
delegates to which will serve later
as the 1924 delegates to the state con-
vention.
Kentucky has no favorite son in the
field for the presidential nomination,
but the sentiments expressed by the
party leaders now assembled in the
city indicates that the undoubted pref
erence is for Champ Clark, who is
native of the Blue Grass state. For a
time Woodrow Wilson appeared to
have the call in Kentucky, but the
controversy between the New Jersey
governor and Henry Watterson chang
ed the situation materially. AS Will
son stock has declined, Clark stock
has risen. Governor Harmon is not
regarded as factor in the contest,
while Congressman Underwood, who,
like Mr.. Clark, is a native of kentuc-
ky, has not solicited the support of
the Democrats in this state.
The Clark supporters are preparing
to fight hard to have todays conven-
tions instruct for the speaker. But in
spite of these aggressive efforts, it
appears possible that the wish of some
of the prominent leaders that Ken
tucky's delegation go uninstructed to
Baltimore may be realized
1t is expected that the big fight
in the convention will be, not over the
selection of delegates to Baltimore or
or on the question of instructing the
delegation, but over the control of the
state organization. The fight is be-
tween Henry Watterson and Senator
elect Ollie James on one hand and
former Governor Beckham and Gen.
Percy Haly on the other.

ONLY THIRTY-FIVE
2 DOG CHECKS ISSUED

dog population of the city is evidently
severe. Only about thirty-five dog
checks have been taken out, although
the last day for securing the little
brass checks is May 81. Securing these
dog checks is made compulsory by a
city ordinance recently passed, and
failure to comply with the ordinance
subjects the violator to a heavy fine.
Prompt action will be taken against all
who own dogs and do not secure
checks before the first day of June,
