BY ROPERT BEARD


the presidential candidacy Of Her
bert Hoover in the Indiana primary
will hold nineteen Of the twenty
places on the party's campaign ex-
ecutive committee, it appeared this
afternoon as the Republican State
committee convened with State can
didates at the SEVERN.
To Oscar G. Foellinger alone Of
Hoovers primary supporters did Re-
publican State Chairman Eliza o.
Rogers of Lebanon extend a place
on the campaign committee, and
that upon the emphatic request of
Hoover himself.
Rogers action in retaining 95 per
cent Of campaign control for Or
ganization forces which supported
Senator James E. Watsons favor
ite son" candidacy, was regarded as
evidence the State committee would
brook no interference with it's plans
to carry Senator Arthur r. Robin
son, Harry G. Leslie, Governor nom
inee, and the remainder of the
State ticket on the tail of the Hoo
yer kite.
Name Party Regulars
Republicans less orthodox than
Rogers though it would have been
well to give places on the commit
tee to DR.. Harry E. Barnard, former
State food and drug commissioner,
intimate friend of Hoover, and active
in his primary campaign as secre-
tary of the Hoover for President
Club; Will Irwin, Columbus, Ind,
banker and capitalist, who was
president OF the Indiana Hoover-for-
President Club, and Harry Hogan,
Ft. Wayne banker, manager of
Leonard Woods Indiana campaign
in 1920 and Foellingers adviser in
the Hoover primary race.
Among the party regulars" who
we're regarded by Rogers as suitable
for appointment were: Allen G..
Messick Of Marion, for chairman;
Lawrence Lyons of Brooke, former
State chairman; Mrs. Beryl S. Hol-
land of Bloomington; Mrs. Neil Nc
Callum of Batesville; E. Faye Kit
selman of Muncie, former Repub-
lican State chairman; Richard M.
Fairbanks of Indianapolis; George
M. Barnard of Newcastle, John K.
RuckelshauS, indianapolis attor-
ney; Philip C.. Gould of Evansville,
Walter Reilly of East Chicago; Ed
Bowen of Delphi, Ninth district
chairman; Mrs. Florence Riddick
Boys of Plymouth, and Mrs. Julia
Belle Tutewiler of indianapolis.
GoOdrich's Name Absent
These had been slated for certain
appointment when it appeared the
list might have to be revised if
women were given equal represen-
tation. A change in the rules was
in prospect to accommodate the
chairman's wishes.
A f1oht appeared in prospect if
Lawrence Cartwright of Richmond,
former Eighth district chairman,
were named to the committee. He
was known to be wholly unsatisfac-
tory to Leslie, whose efforts for the
speakership of the House of Rep
resentatives incurred Cartwright's
bitter opposition in 1925.
Failure Of former Governor James
P. Goodrichs name to appear on
the tentative list gave rise to the
belief that Rogers had been in
structsd by Hoover that Goodrich
was not to be recognized in cam
paign plans.
Hoover Foe on List

tee, is expected to be given the
