Fitzpatrick Seen as Likely Second Nominee for Clerk
Reports across Indiana indicate Md V. Fitzpatrick, longtime clerk of the supreme and appellate courts, is urged for a second nomination. Support cites his service and vote-getting ability, with no credible opposition and broad party backing. Meanwhile J L Peetz, state statistician, is favored to succeed himself, as he garners wide approval and strong party support. In Paris on Sept 22 Captain Ferber died after his Voisin biplane crashed at Boulogne Sur Mer, ending his participation in international aviation events.
