FOR MARSHALL ON
THE FIRST BALLOT
AFTER THAT INDIANA DEMO-
Gratis MAY SWITCH TO GOV.
HARMON AT BALTIMORE.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 2O.-Ev-
cry train into indianapolis today
brought scores of delegates to the
Democratic State convention, which
meets here tomorrow TO nominate can
didates for governor and other State
officers and to select delegates at large
to attend the Democratic national con-
vention IN Baltimore. Presidential
electors also will be selected. The
convention will meet i'm Tomlinson Hall
and will be composed OF 1.747 delegates
There appears 10 be no doubt Of the
nomination of samuel Ralston of Le-
hanon for governor since he received
a solid delegation OF 1876 votes To the
state convention through the influence
of Thomas Taggart former chairman
of the natioDal committee and foI
many years The undisputed boss Of the
Democratic party in IrdiaHa.
Neither does there appear to be any
great likelihood OF a contest on the
presidential Instructions to be given
the delegates To the Baltimore conven-
tlon. as Indiana is expected to bestow
her strength on her favorite son
Governor Thomas II. Marshall
II is conceded that Governor Mar
shall should have the support of tho
state on the first ballot in the nation
al convention. but it is doubtful IL the
Indiana delegates will be charged to re-
main with the governor until the end
of the fight. II is generally believed
that Mr.. Taggart plans To throw the
strength of the State TO Harmon as
soon as Il becomes apparent that Gov
ornor Marshall has no chance of win
ming the race. This programme is be-
lieved TO be subject 10 change only in
the event that Senator Kern should
decide to enter the presidential race,
a thing that is regarded as not only
possible. but highly probable If tho
balloting for candidates should be pro-
tracted.
The choice OF the State convention
for delegates at large probably will fal
upon Senators Kern and Shively. Mr.
Taggart and fourth man not yet
agreed upon. William II. O'Brien, pres
cnt State auditor. is slated 60 succeed
Mir. Taggart as the .jndiapa- membe
Of the national committee, Taggart no
being a candidate.
