Postponed Judicial Conventions Stir Indiana Parties
Silas P. Jones and Wimberg seek alignment on the May 20 judicial ticket convention in Evansville. Posey and Vanderburg counties, with 27 and 59 delegates, defer nominations for circuit judge and prosecutor until after the congressional convention, drawing county committee protests over short notice. Evansville reports the matter as Democratic unity with Republican calls for private meetings to assemble the F M B A slate.

Local notes and entertainment provide small audience
Mrs Nora Wilkerson and Miss Fanny Rowe headed for California while others departed for Kansas and nearby cities. The Ideal Concert and Novelty Co drew a modest crowd with varied music and stereopticon views. a Harrison portrait drew silence and Cleveland drew applause. Local furniture dealer W W Ross announced new lines, and volunteers tended a schoolhouse rockery. The river rose as rains returned, with forecasts of a 6 to 8 foot rise. The county political drama faced skepticism from Democratic farmers.
