Senator Watson
The Republicans of Indiana, be-
lieving that the party's nominee Tor
the vice presidency should be one
capable of filing the highest office
within the gift of the people. present
to the Republicans Of the Nation for
the vice presidential nomination that
constructive statesman, brilliant or
ator and magnetic leader, Senator
James E. Watson.
The nomination Of Senator Wat
son for the vice presidency would
add to the strength Of the National
ticket in Indiana and throughout
the Nation and would bring to the
vice presidency one whose great
abilities would contribute materially
to the success Of the administra-
ton.
Therefore be 1t resolved
That the delegates from Indiana
to the Republican National conven-
ton of 1924 are instructed to pre-
sent the name of James E. Watson
as a candidate for the vice presi-
Dental nomination and to cast their
! ballots for him so long as his name
shall remain before the convention.

a satisfactory functioning Of this de-
partment.
The increased cost of State gov
eminent is found in the support and
extension Of our educational, benev-
olent and penal institutions, and not
in operating expenses Of the State
government. Legislative expense has
been reduced and the cost Of the
other divisions of State government
has been greatly lowered, and we
pledge the Republican party to the
most Vigorous economy in all de-
partments consistent with the public
welfare.
We declare and emphasize our
purpose that the laws Of the State
and nation shall and must be justly
enforced upon the high and low alike
without prejudice to race, creed or
color.
We are not unmindful Of the fact
that the Republican party was born
out Of the issue of free labor and
we pledge ourselves to keep labor
upon its lawful activities. We be-
heve that labor and capital must
prosper together. We believe that
labor should have the right to or
ganize for the betterment Of its
working conditions and that both
labor and capital should be permit
ted to bargain collectively.
We favor equal opportunity for
work, as between men and women,
with such safeguards as will best
conserve their health and make pos
sible the fullest expression of their
abilities. We approve such social
advancements as the workmen's
compensation laws and feel that the
next General Assembly should make
a thorough inquiry Of the same.

State Administration

The period through which we have
lust passed has been a remarkable
era of progress throughout the ma
ton. We call attention. with con-
fidence to the record which has been
made OF Improvements accomplished
and service performed.
Communication and transportation
are fundamental demands of prog
ress. The work of the Indiana
highway commission, under Re-
publican leadership, has placed In
diana at the very head Of the States
of the Union in the matter OF road
construction and maintenance. All
this Is now being accomplished with
out any direct tax or a single dollar
Of bonded indebtedness. We com
mend the National Republican Ad-
ministration for it's liberal policy Of
State aid for highways.
We commend the work Of the
conservation department for it's i'm
partial enforcement of law; for the
aid rendered to agriculture; for it's
saving Of wild life; for the pro-
lection of our mineral resources,
and for the establishment Of State
parks, some of which are already
self-supporting, and all Of which are
maintained at minimum cost.
We favor the conducting Of the
penal and benevolent institutions Of
the State of Indiana under that same
wise plan originally inaugurated by
the Republican patty of non-partisan
control and administration.
In principle. a State regulatory
body. with power to govern the
affairs of public utilities, is clearly
sound. The interests Of the public
must be thoroughly protected. We,
therefore, advocate such modifica-
tons Of present administrative rules
and practices as will make certain

SENATOR WATSON
WINS BACKING IN
HEATED SESSION
Plank IndorSing Scion for
Vice Presidency Is
Adopted,

On insistence direct from Senator
James E. Watson himself and State
Chairman Clyde WaIb, the resolu-
tons committee of the Republican
State convention early this morning,
adopted a plank in the State plat
form indorsing Senator Watson for
the vice presidency.
The committee was stampeded by
a delegation from the Watson camp
and a resolution already drawn up
was resented by George w. Lock
wood, Nuncie.
Lockwood was accompanied by
Walb, Vice Chairman Lawrence
Cartwright, Portland. and Stuart
Fisher of Princeton. George Gro
mer, Muncie, was called from the
committee room and at once voiced
his opposition to.the plank.
