At first contests were assured for all three conventions. The so-called machine forces alleged that Quigley had in- troduced slate. and a grouping of those not believed to be of the Quig- ley wing was effected. Within few days, Oliver I.

 Proposed pianls
 As proposed. the antisKlan plank would say:
 "whenevsr any organization, no matter what it chooses 10 he called, whether Ku KluX Klan or any other name. raises the standard of racial or religious belief as test of h'- ness for public office. it does violence fo the spirit of American institn- tions and must be condemned by all who believe in American ideals"
 Anti.Klan leaders expressed the hsiief that they would succeed In having the resolutions committee for mally approve the proposed anti Klan plank and recommend Its adop ton by the convention. They also expressed the belief that fl fight on the plank was precipitated on fhe floor Of the convention, they would be able to win as complete victory as they did last night in sup planting the incumbent chairman with those known to be uncompro- misingly opposed to the Klan and also In naming the state executive committed.
 Dnrbin Supplanted.
 Durbin was supplantcd as chair man of the state executive commit tee by Robert T. Scott, of Cambridge and Heer was replaced as chairman of the state central committee by Thomas r. Dye, of urbana. The test of strength of the opposing fac tions came on the selection of tenn porary chairman at the organization of the new state central committee. Scott received 13 votes and Heer six with Shree absent on the roll call.
 Realizing that it would be futile to wage battle for reelection as ex- ecutive chairman in the face of the lineup for central committee chair man, Mir. Durbin did not permit his name to be presented and Mir. Dyes election was made by exclamation. Clarence N. Greer of Dayton was re- elected secretary of the central com mittee without opposition.
