night.
At this time two things seem 10 be
! certain in connection with the Demo-
cratic State convention. which meets to-

/ McDevitt- "One is that the Folk wing
of the party viii urge the governor as

with Folk as delegate-at-large. there
Is an element Of the Stone following that

Presidential outlook. Mr. Hopkins said:
| If an orthodox Republican was the
/ candidate Of the party. said Senator Till
man. it would be an almost foregone con-

most interesting 10 him. Senator TIL
man said il was a new position for him
to ind the President in, for he was al
ways under the impression that RoOse-
velt believed otherwise. and had many
times argued for the continued central
ization Of power at the National Cap

MY opinion Of the President Is that
he comes pretty near being the whole
thing, not only as Chief Executive. but
the legislative and judicial branches as
well
/ According to the opinion OF the South
