After all, it develops that the So
called instructions" by the Illinois
Democratic Convention that the dele
cation should vote as a unit and sup
port Hearst amount 60 really nothing
at all. 1t appears the action was taken
merely to pacify the relatively small
Hearst contingent. and that the in
structions are really null and void.
For another resolution was passed,
and that resolution provides that by a
mere majority vote the delegation can,
at any time abrogate the unit rule.
Now it is stated that of the four dele
gates at large three are unalterably
opposed to Hearst, and that of the
district delegates the proportion OPP
posed to Hearst is even greater.
Possibly the delegation may, In obe-
dience to supposed instructions, cast
the vote as a unit for Hearst on the
first ballot, but that will be all. Very
likely also that Is all that the New
York editor wishes or expects. For the
time being his ambition will be salts
fed with respectable complimentary
vote on the first ballot; then look out
for Hearst and Bryan, Cise former by
