Tilley Named Unanimously in Fifth District
In Martinsville June 30 the Fifth District Republican convention adopted a Taft aligned platform after a split between Beveridge and anti Beveridge factions. Tilley of Terre Haute was named the nominee after a maneuver by Vigo and Hendricks rebels. Catlin of Vigo was floated to oppose Tilley but the plan collapsed as the majority moved to confirm Tilley and endorse Taft administration with a revised tariff plank reflecting Payne Aldrich ideas and a tariff commission compromise.
