Indiana Political Pivet. Many times in the past the eves of the two major parties have turned to Indiana for timber with which they hoped to pry its vote their way in gel eral_elections. Its position politically, in the doubtful column. and geograp- ically, in the farming area, has had considerable to do with its selection in years gone by, and has brought the ex- pression from some Democrats that it might prove the State through which the party might pave the way to the UED, Left to right: Gov.

Mr. Harper, who is attending his fourth national convention, came in with the Pennsylvania delegation. They were extensively entertained along the way. cspecially at Dallas and Fort Worth. At the latter place Cato Sells. former commissioner of Indian affairs who was in_charge of the visitation of a group of Texas business men headed by Dan Moody, the Texas governor, some months ago when they toured the | North and East, recognized Mr. Harper as the man who delivered the address of welcome to the Texans when they were entertained in Washington. He started in to introduce Mr. Harper as a speaker, but took so much time in extolling the Washington man and tell- ing what he had done for the party that train time arrived before there was a chance for Mr. Harper to respond. There are a very large number of volunteer platform builders here, each hewing away assiduously at a plank which he declares the party must adopt. Mr. Harper has joined this throng. His plank is on the prohibition question, which is really the biggest issue so far to be argued. Mr. Harper has dis- cussed his plank with about a dozen members of the national committee, and today asked Senator Glass of Vir- ginia to present it to the resolutions; committee. Harper Resolution. | The Harper resolution is as follows: “The Democratic party pledges itself to the people of the country for the strictest enforcement of all Federal | laws, and by such a pledge it is in- tended to specifically stress indorsement | of the eighteenth amendment.” | “If the Democratic party is given the , executive authority, it further pledges | to the people a prompt, active and determined avpeal to Congress for any necessary legislation and sufficient ap- prr‘spflnflon for the enforcement of the | act “It further pledges the -npo!ntmznt‘ of men at the head of the depart- | ment who by known integrity and honesty will fearlessly enforce the law | and not permit a shameful and farcical expose as has conspicuously dominated the Republican administration during the past eight years. “The record of the Democratic party | | | RIGID DRY PLANK 1S DANILS' GOAL Ready to Join Roper Forces in Fight to Finish Again§t Wets. | By the Associaied Press ROBERT N.
