There are 67 contests for the committee

The decision Of the committee is awaited
almost brcathlessly by contesting delega-

With the Saturday preceding the con-

by Monday breathing room will be at a
premium. Tuesday morning $4,000 people

the auditorium and take possession OF It.
Most of them will be In their seats at
noon, when Chairman Carter Of the ma

aloud, 1.-THE convention will come to

will sit the altcrnates. On each side of
the platform will stretch rows cf desks, at

The rules 10 govern the convention arc
adopted, and chief among them is the pro-
vision that resolutions must be referred
unread to the COMMITTEES Oh resolutions.
Then the COMMITTEES on credentials To-
ports on the contested eases, and the con-
vention, as a rule, votes on them IN lump,
indorsing the action OF the committee.
The committee on resolutions Is the last
to report. Occasions have arisen whore it
did not make its report until the candidate
had been named. Usually, though, 10 re-
ports before the nominations are made and
its work Is second in importance only 10
the nominating of the candidates. It
should be more important even, for II tho
party Is greater than it's candidate the dec
laration of the party's principles should DO
more important than It's nominee.
Curiously enough, there is moro anxiety
over the work of this committee on resolu-
tions this year than there is over the choos-
ing of the candidate. The business men of
tho country nre standing on tiptoe waiting

something which interests the whole coun-

terests of the country especially.
