Districts to Name Delegates
Tuesday on Eve of
Picking Ticket.

day, Monday and Tuesday will find
Democratic leaders, delegates and
candidates gathering in the Clay
pool for hobnobs intended to bear
fruit on the convention floor in
Cadle Tabernacle. A score of can
.didates will open headquarters on
the eighth floor of the Claypool,
Tuesday.
While lists of candidates bear in
sdication of warm rivalry for nom
snative honors, party leaders are
making strenuous efforts to avoid
riffs which in any measure might
Seopardize the chances of a DEM
bcratic victory in the fall.
Favor Daley for Governor
This caution is encouraged by the
general conviction that with the
right candidates, the party is in an
unusually strong position to depose
the State Republican administra-
ton.
Frank G. Daley, Indianapolis at
torney, nationally known foe of
graft and prosecutor of Newberry,
appears certain of the nomination
for Governor on an early ballot.
Daley supporters today reiterated
their claim to the votes of approx
mately 800 delegates Only 500 of
the 1,185 delegates are required for
nomination.
Daley, who attained a $4,000 plur-
hlity in the primary race but failed
of a majority, will have the oppo-
eition in convention of forces back
of John E. friedrich, Kokomo manu-
facturer, second in the primary.
Levy May Thin List
Earl Crawford, of Milton, whose
chief support came from farmers,
and George R. Dale, Muncie editor,
are the other two primary figures
who have stuck in the gubenatorial
field Neither is accorded any con-
siderable delegate strength, but
their withdrawal early in the con-
Vention would be of value to Fred
erick, it is said.
1t was regarded doubtful if their
names actually would be placed in
nomination if the State Central
committee stands by precedent in
levying an assessment against candi-
dates before their names can be
presented. Candidates are required
by law to bear the expense of the
State convention.
