■LD-TIME ballot f FRAUD SHOWN UP f (Continued From Pw One.) vu crndely done In some instances, even numbers being added to the totals in or to give strength to the popular can didate. It is understood that friends of Hiram Johnson In Indiana are anxious to con test the vote for Wood as stolen. They have only to examine the pre cincts of Marion county to And thou sands of stolen votes recorded. The system of beatiug Johnson in Mariotf county does not appear to have been to cut down his vote, but to add to the Wood vote a regular percentage of from 20 to 100 "phantom votes." G. O. P. STATE FIGHT JUST BEGINNING The fight among republican candidates for the Indiana delegation In the Chicago convention has just begun. • With no candidate receiving a majority of votes cast, Indiana’s delegation will go to the Chicago convention uninstructed. This delegation will be selected at the republican state convention next Wednesday. It Is evident that each of the presi- candidates will have candidates Tor delegate to the national convention in each district. It will be the task of tb’ delegates to the state convention from each district to decide whom their district shall sup port in the Chicago convention. Although Gen. Leonard Wood un doubtedly was given a plurality in the primary Tuesday, it is altogether pos sible that the Indiana delegates to the national convention will not vote for his nomination. NO LEGAL TIES TO BIND bELEGATES. The Wood managers are insisting that tb state is morally bound to support Wood, but It is certainly not legally bonnd to do so. and delegates to na tional conventions have been known to disregard moral ties. Before the close of the primary cam paign Senator Hiram Johnson declared that Indiana’s delegation should support the candidate who received a plurality In the primary. Wood managers are pointing to this statement in their contention that Indi ana's uninstructed delegation should vote for Wood. Managers for Gov. Frank O. Lowden, Senator Johnson end Senator Warren G. Harding, the other candidates, declare they will oppose any effort on the part of the Wood organization tj name In diana's delegation. It is very probable that efforts will be made to select delegates favorable to each of the other candidates, although at the present time their managers an pro testing vigorously against the movement on the part of Wood's friends to do this for him. CHICAGO DELEGATION MAY BE DIVIDED. It is altogether possible and some what more than likely that Indiana will send a divided delegation to the Chi cago convention. The scheme of the Wood managers to control the Indiana delegation Is ex pected to hit a snag ot\ the first move in convention it is generally understood that the "Big Four" from Indiana will be Sena tors Watson and New. Gov GoodrUh and Chairman Edmund M Wasmuth of the republican state committee. The first three pf these, at least, are not Wood men and woold hardly be ex pected to vote for Wood in the conven tion. On the other hand, it appears almost impossible that any others than those named can be elected as Indiana's dele gareg-at-large. When the convention meets the party will be placed in the position of assum ing the result of the recent primary be cause the official result will not be known at that time. NOT TO CANVASS VOTE BEFORE MAY 14. The state election canvassing board, consisting of the secretary of state, the attorney general and the treasurer of state, under the law. will not convene to canvass the primary vote until Friday. May 14, one day after the convention date. Leaders of the Johnson. Lowden and Harding campaigns were considering that situation today in the light of its effect on the plan of Gen. Wood's managers to seek a delegation instructed for him. Ela Stansbury, attorney general, said th**ethe situation was regrettable and eVould have been foreseen by the state central committee, but that he knew of no reason why the canvassing board could not take official cognizance of the primary result as it affects presidential candidates prior to the date set for the general canvass. “It is a bad thing to rush a conven tion like this because it always looks as Statement of Condition OF THi; American Alliance Ins.

In the v seeretary of state's office It was ; said that the task $f ascertaining the actual count on the vote for presidential candidates could be accomplished easily in time for an accurate report to be made to the convention. Inasmuch as there is no doubt con cerning the failure of alf presidential candidates to win the majority vote necessary so an automatic instruction of delegates at the convention. It is not thought likely a fight will be made by any particular faction against the un usual proceeding.

Lowden’s campaign, said that the gov ernor's forces had accomplished Just what they set .out to do in the campaign —that was to prevent some other candi date winning votes of Lowdeu supporters. “We didn’t spend money enough to create a large and effective organization, •so we didn't expect to win,” said Mr. Baldwin. “We are hearing from all parts 6f the Mate now, and where Gov. Lowden is not first choice he is second, and the same thing is true throughout the coun ti y" Mr. Swain received hundreds of tele grams from Johnson men in the state, congratulating him on the showing made by Senator Johnson's organization in the face of a money shortage, which kept workers continually embarrassed, and which limited the working force much of the time to Mr. Swain himself. “The vote in the circumstances demon strates Senator Johnson's popularity In this state most convincingly,” said Mr. Swain. Johnson showed himself to be a power ful force in Indiana and if big friends take it upon themselves to attempt to control the convention It is possible that they will succeed ih electing a number of the state's thirty delegates.

The Jewett-Lemcke organization was victorious from the top to the bottom of the ticket. Ralph Lemcke, acording to the re turns announced, polled a large ma jority over Henry M. Cochrane, the anti- Jewett candidate. William P. Evans, organization candi date for prosecutor and at present'as sistant to Claris Adams, the present county prosecutor, received a comforta ble majority, according to the announced vote. Merrill Moores, the present representa tive, of Marion county in congress, easily won the renominaiion from Luke W. Duffey. There was only one contest so close that It appeared possible that the official returns night change the result. This wts the contest for the demo cratic nomination for judge of the cir cuit court. Unofficial tabulations show s plurality of fifty for Chalmer Seblosser over Riythe Q. Hendricks. Paul G.'Davis easily succeeded in win ning the democratic nomination for prosecutor from a large field, and Wil liam P. Slndliner had no trouble in ob taining the nomination for sheriff. The poor showing of Mr. Fesler in Marion county and the remainder of the state was the subject of consider able comment among party workers. Seldom has a prominent candidate for the nomination been so badly beaten after such a race. It appeared to be the general opinion that the defeat was due largely to the tactics of the organization which sought tc force the pledging of support tc Fesler. In at least one case it was reported that a ward chairman was removed be cause he would not support the organi zation candidate.
