Ring Denies Its Offspring in Indianapolis Ward Fight
In Indianapolis two wards and the Republican primary see fierce slinging between ring and anti ring factions.

The dispute questions fairness, with claims of late changes and biased boards, while anti machine workers push for independence against the Bookwalter Shafer faction.
