ASV.P.CHOICE
Indiana Candidate Has
Approval of Lead
ers For Place
By w. b. Ragsdale,
Associated Pres Staff Writer

HOUSTON, June 25.-CPD-With a
score Of names still on the list Of vice
presidential possibilities, the spot
light turned today toward Indiana,
a perennial battle-ground Of politics,
as out Of the silence pervading the
quarters Of party leaders came the
impression that Evans Woollen, In
dianapolis banker, stood well up
among those looked upon with favor
as a running mate for the democratic
standard bearer.
There was little dimunition in the
chatter coupling the names of Robin
son of Arkansas, Hull of Tennessee,
and various others with the vice
presidential nomination, but the
opinion spread that the Indiana man
might have q margin which would
prove hard to overcome when conver-
sation is converted into votes on the
convention floor.
Many times in the past the eyes Of
the two major parties have turned TO
Indiana for timber with which they
hoped to pry its vote their way in
general elections. Its position po-
litically, in the doubtful column, and
geographically. in the farming area,
has had considerable to do with its
selection in years gone by and has
brought the expression from some
democrats that it might prove the
state through which the party might
pave the way to the White House in
November.
Woollen is pointed TO as a man who
would strengthen the possibilities OF
the democrats in Indiana and one who
might aid them in carrying their
battle into the farm belt.
Among the score Of others whose
names figure prominently IN the talk
Of incoming delegates, Robinson and
Hull stood far up in the list Of
southerners with former Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska outstanding
among the mid-westerners.
Robinson, who arrived yesterday,
brushed aside questions whether he
would accept the nomination with
the declaration that il had not yet
been offered to him. His colleague,
Senator Caraway said, however, he
believed Robinson would run IL
placed on the ticket and other mem
bers Of the delegation said that they
would support him for anything"
Hull particularly appeals 70 many
southern delegates as one who would
aid in counteracting any evil effect
the nomination of Smith for the
presidency might have in the south.

Moody Says Only s for
Smith; Governor
Has Dry Plank

HOUSTON, June 25.-lPD-Con-
flicting claims as to the strength Of
Governor Alfred K. Smith in the
Texas delegation TO the democratic
national convention will be settled at
the state caucus tonight when the
delegation will be polled for its first
choice for president
Advisers of Governor Dan Moody,
who is against Smith. said today that
a thorough canvas OF the delegation
through written communications and
personal interviews show 80 of the 40
Texas votes TO be against Smith. r..
l.. Henry of Houston, one of the
Smith leaders, is claiming Is to %
votes for the New York governor.
Smith supporters continued to work
on" Moody followers whom they con-
sidered amenable to persuasion. in
efforts to get Smith majority lined
up before the caucus at $ p. IN.
Meantime, Governor Moody was
preparing a statement of what he
thinks Texas and the South want in
the way OF q prohibition plank. IL
will call for strict enforcement Of the
prohibition laws, and a progressive
strengthening" Of them. The govern
or expects to offer the plank to the
national platform committee. There
may be some effort to harmonic this
so-called Southern dry" plank with
one said to be approved by Governor
Smith, being brought here by John
w. Davis, 1924 presidential candi-
date. Texas leaders expect the gov
ernor and Davis TO get together in
the interest of harmony before the
platform committee meets.
Claims Of the Texas Smith support
ers, who are wearing ribbons read
ing, "Texas for Smith," were regard
ed BY the Moody followers as ex-
aggerated in efforts to promote ''vic-
tory psychology"
DR.. NJ. L. Cox Of Canton, third dis
trict delegate, said he had been classi-
fled as Smith delegate but that he
would follow Governor Moody.
