First district Republican leaders
organized this afternoon to attempt
10 force 7. Morton Mcdonald,
Princeton, to withdraw from the
three-cornered race for nominal
ton for supreme court judge, from
the First district.
4-cDonald declared he will not
withdraw. First district men say
that the candidate will get only a
corporal's guard of delegates from
mis- own county, and Pike county
and the rest of the district will be
SPLIT between Benjamin Wi1loughby,
Vjncennes, incumbent, and Thomas
B. Coulter, Knox circuit judge.
Marion county leaders support
Willoughby, but it is understood
that a trade is under way to gain
Coulter support for Alex Cavins,
deputy United States district attor-
ney, appellate court candidate.
Out to Get Remy
With 200 delegates known back
ing him, George v. Coffin is in an
excellent position to swing trades
for Cavins. The Marion county
boss" avowedly is out for defeat
of Judge Charles F. Remy, incum-
bent, and Schuyler Haas, Seventh
district chairman, was busy in the
SEVERN today arranging negoti-
ations.
Simultaneously with the arrival
of the vanguard of the 1857 dele
gates to the state convention,
boom was inaugurated to nominate
James L. Barnes, Cass county chair
man, as Governor in 1882.
This movement, two years ahead
of time, surprised party leaders who
could discern no motive for the
Barnes announcement. Cass Coun-
ty delegates have been instructed to
work for Barnes.
Friends Of Frederick L. Lands,
Logansport editor, who was candi-
date for the nomination for Cover
nor in 1923. hailed it, however, as
an attempt to block a similar move
in 1882 on Lands part:
Barnes, as Cass county chairman
and through virtue of a prior an
nouncement, could claim the support
of the Eleventh district delegation
in 1882 and leave Lends without
home strength.
Charges Crossing"
"This substantiates our views that
Barnes crossed Lands in the 1928
campaign" declared one Lands
supporter.
With only three contests looming
and these for offices which, in the
public mind, are comparatively I'M
important, delegates feel the con-
vention Thursday relatively will be
quiet.
Collins attempt to defeat Remy
is an attempt to Coffinize the state
organization and the state ticket,
Remy's friends declare.
The Marion county boss is said
to have boosted openly that he
knew nothing against Remy's rec
Crd as judge, but he was against
him and hopes to obtain the juriSt'S
defeat with Cavins.
Remy's friends say Collins oppo-
sltion is based largely on the ami
mostly the boss holds as result of
his prosecution by William H.
Reny, the jurist's son, on a charge
Of attempting to bride former Gov
ernor Warren T. McCray.
Prosecutor Remy obtained the in
dictment of former Governor Ed
jackson, Coffin and Robert I.
Marsh, but the trio escaped convic-
ton by pleading the statute of lini-
tations.
The fight of the Indiana Anti
Saloon league upon the attempt of
Willoughby to win denomination
also is a focal point of interest.
Two Oppose Willoughby
Willoughby was one of the three
judges who declared the late DR..
e. S. Shumaker guilty of contempt
of court, sentenced him to sixty
days on the state farm and levied
$500 fine.
OF the two Coulter is expected to
carry the greater strength.
Three candidates for treasurer are
button holing candidates. They are
Harry Nichols, Madison, Fourth dis
trict chairman and runner-up in
1923, who is said to have the edge:
Caleb Williams, Pendleton, and Sol
Sudranski, Greencastle. Frank Rich
ards, La Grange, present deputy, has
announced he will not be a candi-
date.
Morgan L. Sterrett, Rensselaer,,
Jasper county school superintendent,
is the only candidate out against
Roy F. Wisehart, Union City, state
superintendent of education.
Arthur L. Hyde, secretary of the
department of agriculture. who will
be the keynoter. will arrive here
Thursday morning.
