WILL FEATURE
C. 0. P. SESSION
Contest for High Court,
Treasurer, School Job
in Prospect.
BY BEN STERN

With preliminary arrangements
completed for the Republican state
convention, June 5. party leaders
are watching three contests that will
feature this years session.
Judge Benjamin Willoughby. Vim
cennes, has two opponents for
nomination to the supreme court
bench; Roy P. Wisehart. Union City.
has one announced opponent for
nomination as superintendent Of
public instruction: and three can
didates are out for the nomination
for state treasurer. succeeding Mrs.
Grace Banta Urbahns Reynolds, who
is retiring.
Another contest looms for the
appellate court post held by Judge
Charles r. Remy, Indianapolis Two
possible candidates are Alex Cavins,
deputy United States district at
torney and Schuyler Haas, Seventh
district chairman, long a wheel
horse Of the Coffin organization.
T. Morton Mcdonald Prince on,
aspirant for Willoughby's place, ac-
companied by Stuart Fisher, also
Of Princeton, and former First
district chairman, visited the state
house this week in an effort to OBJ
tain support. Meanwhile, friends
of Thomas B. Coulter, Knox circuit
judge are making statewide appeals
for their man.
Harry Nichols, Madison, Fourth
district chairman, candidate two
years ago for the nomination for
treasurer, is conceded the best
chance. Caleb Williams, Anderson,
Madison county recorder, and Sol
Sudranski, Greencastle, retired bust
nessmen, are dividing the field.
There is marked feeling that if
Miss Mary Sleeth, Rushville, state
e-chairman becomes a candidate
for treasurer, she will make a strong
race.
So far, Morgan L. Sterrett, Rens-
selaer. superintendent of the Jas
per county schools, is the only OPP
ponent to Wisehart.
Fifield UnOppOsed
Otto &. Fifield, Gary, is almost
certain to be renominated, as no
candidate has entered the lists in
opposition.
No opposition has developed for
Archie Bobbitt, English, who will be
renominated auditor. Charles L.
Biederwolf, TT. Wayne, also is I'M
opposed as nominee for supreme
court clerk.
Nothing has occurred to mar the
even current of the plans to again
name Willard B. Gemmill, Marion,
to the supreme court.
Platform plans are being scrut-
inized sharply by Eliza o. Rogers
Lebanon, state chairman who con-
ferred this week with Governor
Harry c. Leslie regarding conditions
throughout the state. Henry
Marshall, Lafayette publisher;
George W. Stout, editorial writer,
and John J. Brown, state highway
