INTEREST IN
CONVENTION
IS LACKING
Men Have to be Drafted Over
the States as Delegates
to State Convention
BY MAURICE EARLY.

TIMES BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, April 24.-
Little interest Is being displayed in
the Republican state convention
which is to meet In Indianapolis
May "a and 25. TO nominate candi-
dates for a number OF state Of
fees and adopt a platform fer the
fall campaign.
Delegates to the convention are
TO be elected at the primary cleo
ton May 2, but in many sections
OF the state men are having to be
drafted for the places. There are
few contests for the delegateships,
in most counties an organization
slate being unopposed in ths pri-
mary
The lack Of interest in the con-
vention is not due to any dwindling
OF Republican spirit but to the fact
that there are but two contests for
places on the state ticket The
senatorial race between Senator
Harry S. New and ex-senator Al
bert J. Bevsridge and local Cam
paigns for county offices and con-
troll of organizations have COM
pletely overshadowed the selection
OF delegates to the convention.
The contests for places on the
state ticket to be decided at the
convention are for the office Of
clerk of the supreme court and one
fudge OF the supreme court.
Patrick ]. Lynch. present clerk.
who has held office during one
term OF four years is seeking re-
nomination. He is opposed by
Henry a Roberts. travelling man
and newspaper publisher of Car
mel, who was elected state statisti-
clan in 1917. Before Roberts could |
take office. however, the statisti- |
clans job was abolished at the re-
quest OF Ex-Governor Goodrich
Roberts is making a personal
campaign among delegates slated
for the convention and is confident
of defeating Lynch. The present
clerk is understood to have the
backing Of many organization men. |
Judge David A. Myers of the su-
preme court IS being opposed for
denomination by Judge VIII Sparks |
os RIshville.
The state convention. unless un-
experienced opposition arises. will |
nominate by acclamation the fol- I
lowing candidates: Ed. Jackson, /
secretary Of state; William G. Oil I
YER auditor Of state; Ora Davies, |
treasurer Of state, and q. J. Burris, /
state superintendent OF public in +
struction Three judges of the ap- |
pellate court also probably will be /
named without opposition.
