friends also asked for the nominal
ton. Their campaigns we're not
marked by rancor."
Grateful to Friends
McNutt then declared he was
grateful for the loyalty of his
friends in every county and wished
to make public acknowledgement
of it.
McNutt said, I'VE must give tax
relief and have equal distribution
of the tax burden. We also must
take the privileges from the seat
of power and extend helping hand
to agriculture and business"
The nominee said he was happy
because of the harmony and that
he had made no pledges to any per-

Four incumbent state officials were
renominated as follows: Frank
Mayr Jr., secretary of state; Floyd
Williamson, auditor of state; Will
liam Storen, treasurer, and George
c. Cole, superintendent of public in

Two Rivals Withdraw
McNutt, Indiana law school dean,
was assured the nomination for
Governor without contest, when his
final opponent, John E. Friedrich,
Kokomo manufacturer, withdrew
from the race.
Third man in the contest, Mayor
Wood Posey of Terre Haute, with

made by McFaddin. He said he had
attended twenty conventions Of the
Democratic party in this state and
that he realized that now is the
time to turn control over to the
younger element. 1t is showing
ability for real leadership, and, in
his opinion, will lead the party to
greater victories than in the past,
he said.

Saloon League, which for years has
dominated state politics, now is left
without a friend in the major par

to fight its battles.
Declaring that Republican plat
forms have been hkened to the
platforms Of railway cars-none
made to stand on, but made to get
in on" Clarence z. Manion, Notre
Dame university law professor and
convention keynoter, brought the
Democratic delegates to their feet
time and time again in his pictur-
