_ day that no moves would be made to‘
abrogate either the unit rule or the
‘ ‘rule that provides that a two-thirds

candidate.
“No intimation has come ‘ to 111e,".
said National Chairman Mack today.i
“that any move would be made to do‘
away. with tile unit. anti two-thirds rule
‘ and as those are questions that would ‘
have to come first ‘before the na-

would know about it. The two rules
will untieubtedly continue in force dur-
‘ ing the coming convention. "

who will win next week. They are in

about it. No sharper political strug‘

Nor do the rest of us know who
‘1 will wltt next week. We have not the
facts before us. All factions claim
the. coming triumph; but all cannot
will. A few observations, however,
are reasonably safe. The newspapers
generally have underestimated the
strength of Theodore Roosevelt. in5

emies admit anti stronger than the
impartial observers so far have seen.

‘tlsans believe that their man, if nom~

ocrats make "fool nominations.“ they
