Are Gratifed With Ticket
and Also With Planks Of

Al STATE CAPITAL.
INDIANAPOLIS. June 3-Out OF the
Republican state convention there came
a platform and a ticket that the par
tics will feel like Offering 10 the peo-
pie Of the state in the coming cam
paiEn. Patriotism was the Dis feature
Of the platform that was adopted. If
anyone had the Idea thnt the Repub-
.ucans OF indiana would hesitate about
giving their utmost support to the war
or that there was any doubt about their
Willingness to go the limit on that line
they were mistaken. Throughout the
platform there runs the pledge Of ev-
ervthinR that the Republicans have or
can command to help heat Germany TO
her knees. that the menace Of autoc-
racy may bs wiped out
Tie president was criticised and the
Democratic party was criticised, but
the criticism was not directed to What
they are DOING to win the war. 1t was
charged IN the speeches that were
made thet the president and the Dem
~ocrat:c party are playing politics IN
/ connection With The ~ work and the
speakers said that as long as the Dem
ocrats do his they cannot deny to the
Republicans the right 20 do the same
! thing. II they are so disposed
But the sentiment that runs through
the whole thing is that this IS not the
time for party politics. L is the time
to wage the war 10 the limit and to win
* BY victory.
| TIE s'gnifcan e IF the strong decla-
lratfons n the state platform is found
in the fact that the Indiana Republican
convention was one OF the first TO DC
heard in the ountrv and that its pro
announcement Of principles are presumed
to reflect the sentiment ~ the Republi-
cans al over the United States. II
viii no doubt serve as a model for
other Republican state platforms.
There vas a strong declaration in IA
vor Of equal suffrage for women and
for the passage Of the Federal amend
ment resolution by the senate and its
1atihcation by the Legislature o. the
state Il is as direct and positive q
statement on that subject as could De
written. and the s~uTragists o: Indiana
are immensely pleased with It.
As was predicted several DAYS ago.
the platform contains no reference e
the subject Of prohibition or the liquor
question. II is the first time in a mum
her OF years that the liquor issue has
been left out Of any state platform
But Il was regarded rs n closed issue
this yea by the Republicans. and they
could see no need OF saying %anything
about IT. The prohibition people did
not ask for a declaration on the sub
iect. indiana already has statutory
prohibition and its legislature will. al
its rext session. ratify the Federal
amendment
What Democrats may do with pro-
Inhibition IN their state platform thi.
