PLAN SHARP ATTACK

CHICAGO, June 10-Virtually de-
void of hope that Republican leaders
here will urge the governors of Yer
mont and Connecticut to call special
legislative sessions to pass on the
suffrage amendment, members of the
national womans party prepared to-
day to intensity their picketlng attack
on the convention.
Pickets were sent out with banners
calling upon voters to ballot against
the Republican party until it took
more decisive action on equal suffrage.
The situation looks darker today
than it has ever since we came to

clared. I'VE shall sharpen our attack

BALLOT FOR CHECK

CHICAGO. June 10-In order that
there may be no question of how In
dianas delegates to the Republican
national convention vote on candl-
dates for the nomination for president,
it was decided at a caucus of the del
egation last night that the delegation
shall be polled on each ballot and that
each delegate shall write his name on
the ballot cast In this way each dele
gate becomes answerable to his dis
trict or to the state.
While there was no action by the
caucus on the matter, many OF the
delegates expressed the view that the
vote should be according to the way
congressional districts went in pri-
maries and according to instructions.
Four Hooser Dark Horses.
Four dark horses" from Indiana
loomed for convention hOnOrs yester-
day. Friends of Senator Watson, ex
ulting over his triumph in being chos
en- chairman of the platform COM
mittee, are booming him as presiden-
tial possibility somewhere along the
line.
Former Senator Beveridge has a
pocketful of letters from Republican
leaders, especially in the east, urging
him to get into the fray. 1t is known
the former senator is in d receptive
mood.
The admirers of National Chairman
Will Hays see him as a compromise
when a predicted deadlock comes in
the convention balloting.
Gov. Goodrich is receiving serious
mention among the Hoosiers as just
the right man to nominate. If none
of those from Indiana whose presiden-
tial lightning rods are up should be
lucky, an effort may be made to NOM
mate the governor for second place.
