MANY INDIANA
WOMEN MAY GO
TOCONVENTIONS
Both Democrats and Republic
ans Indicate Selections
Will Be Generous.
WOMAN ANSWERS TONER

Indiana women may be among the dele
gates to both the democratic and the re-
publican national convention, according
to indications. Each party will have
thirty delegates. four delegates at large,
and two from each of the congressional
districts.
1t is probable. that two of the dele
gates at large to the democratic conven-
ton will be women and that a number of
the district delegates also will be women.
Though a number of republican district
delegates may be women, no women are
likely to be republican delegates at large,
it is indicated.
The democratic delegates at large, ac-
cording to present indications, will be
Thomas r. Marshall and Thomas Tag
CART, and two women, of whom leaders
have not yet expressed a choice. The
four republican delegates probably will
be Senator New, Senator Watson, Gov.
Goodrich and r. NJ. Wasmuth, chairman
of the republican state committee.
