1t is now apparent that the real
contest at Kansas City will be over
the platform. The presidential
nomination is generally conceded to
be settled. There will be sharp
contention over the vice presidency,
mainly due to the action of the
Sioux Falls convention in forcing
the nomination of Charles A.
Towne. But the real fight will be
over the platform. The opponents
of 10 10 1 have been steadily gain
ing ground of late, and now express
themselves as confident of becoming
masters of the situation. Should
their predictions be verified, there is
but little doubt that conservative
eastern man will be named for vice
president. South Bend Times.
