Two Monticello residents look like probable candidates at the Democratic State Convention in Indianapolis. Samuel L. Calloway, deputy to Clerk of the Supreme Court J. Fred France, seeks the nomination for state clerk, facing Myron D. King of Indianapolis and Harry Grube of Plymouth. Thomas W. O Connor of Monticello is urged for state treasurer, with J. B. McCarthy of Kempton and T D. Henke of Petersburg already in the running. If O Connor enters, the convention race will draw close and a Monticello pairing on the ticket seems unlikely.
