Republicans Nominate Billingsley for Congress in Indiana
INDIANAPOLIS Sept 21 The Republicans nominate J J W Billingsley for Congress after weeks of seeking a willing sacrifice. He carries no counties so the nomination is questioned. About 300 negroes in the city meet to pursue independent political action in the coming election and future. The State election board organized to prepare November ballots led by Gov. Hovey with James McCabe and J B Black. Ballots will be about 12524 inches, with 1,500,000 printed using 22,000 pounds pink paper. Senator Turpie begins a campaign tour in the pocket next Saturday.
