presidential talk has been about
republican candidates the demo-
Gratis being willing for the time to
yield them the floor, as their con-
vention is to be first. But from
now on it will be different. Dom
ocracy has a fine list of presidential
possibilities that will be discussed
between now and the time of the
Chicago conventihn. More interest
will be taken than has been noticed
