THCSJtt FIGHT Marshall and Tag'gart Forces Battle For Supremacy ' Slate Convention Met This Morning ' at 0::iO O'clock and Took I p Gov ernor Marshall's 1'i'opoAition to Endorse a Candidate for the Sen ate. .''.'- " ( By Leased Wire to The Times. ) Indianapolis, Ind., April 28 The democratic state convention went into session this morning at 9:30 o'clock and at once took up Governor Mar shall's proposition to endorse a dem ocratic candidate for United States senator to run against Senator Bever-idge.- T.ie Marshall endorsement idea had won out w'ith the rules commit tee, seven to six. It was by force of, numbers and not through any Tag gart compromise that the senatorial proposition was given to the dele gates. Tiie Taggart men, being over borne on the committee acquiesced in the rules report when they had gain ed the advantage of an over-night in terval following the governor's per sonal appeal for his plan. To obtain a unanimous report of the committee the Marshall-Lamb forces had yield ed something. The Marshall people were confi dent this morning that the conven tion would not adjourn without nom inating a senator. It was the general feeling among the Taggart faction that they were in a pooition, as the convention started its machinery today, to stop the on ward march of the 'Marshall forces. Taggart followers were still insisting that they had fully 1.000 of the 1,747 delegates against the Marshall plan, though the district organizations fights indicated that the vote was somewhat closer t-ban the Taggart figures suggested. John E. Lamb was put forward to champion the senatorial selection idea. It was intimated that the Tag gart men wbn.ld go to a vote on' the proposition without using the forty five minutes allotted to their side for argument against the idea. This read iness to submit the issue was declar ed by anti-Taggart men to be a mon umental bluff. The name of John -W. Kern was also pushed to the front as the prob able nominee for senator, provided always that the convention voted to name a candidate. . " Governor Marshall Won. Indianapolis, Ind., April 28 Gov ernor Marshall's proposition provid ing for the endorsement of a United States senatorial candidate by the state democratic convention was car ried by a vote of 8S8 to So 8 today.

Jewett, acting as temporary chairman in place of Governor Marshall. Former Judge .1. E. McCullough,- of Indianapolis, was the first to open the 45 minutes debate allotted to each side. He spoke affirmatively for the Marshajl plan. John E.

Cries of "Taggart, Taggart" were loud and prolonged. Lamb declared he had "no personal , quarrel wltn Taggart, but was personally opposed to Taggartism in Indiana", The conclusion of his sentence was drowned in another uproad of mingled cheers, hisses and jeers. Interruption followed interruption as Lamb opened each vial of vitu peration against his political foes. Many declared the conduct of the convention shameful, but the dele gates Were completely beyond con trol. . The endorsement plan was opposed in speeches by Samuel Ralston, of Lebanon, and Senator Shlveley," who were granted respectful hearings as the riot subsided. . .
