Death of Greathouse Could Shape Indiana Democratic Fight
Special to The Citizen Indianapolis Indiana November 12 A sudden death of Charles A Greathouse Democratic national committeeman from Indiana and secretary of the party national committee is likely to trigger a battle for party control in the state. The vacancy falls to the state committee with talks of action this fall or next June and December calls. Speculation centers on R Earl Peters Fort Wayne and Thomas D Taggart son of the former leader as contenders to fill and steer the machine amid anti Taggart elements. Other possible aspirants include Len Ellingham Fort Wayne and Joseph Cravens Madison as the party weighs its next ticket and future power. The outcome could define the Democratic ticket and factions for years.

A Democratic slate led by Secretary of State Frank Mayr Jr plans a push to cover a $3,000 shortfall for the state committee.
