ON which prediction would be based is feasible
is. of course, the vital question. The plan here
outlined has for years been under consideration
with view to benefting the East as well as the
West. but 1t has not yet been carried Into erect
publicly. That it will eventually prove prac-
ticable is a consummation which may reasonably
be hoped for. If Professor McAdie wants TO Try

sources like wireless reports from ships IN the

STILL FADER THE INIT RULE.

Increasing dissatisfaction within the Demo
cratic party with the workings of the oppres
sire two-thrds and unit rules is perhaps re-
sponsible for the contention of certain anti
Bryan district delegates from Ohio that they
should not be bound by the unit rule resolution
adopted by the Ohio state convention. These
protestants declare that as the state conven-
ton elected only four delegates-at-large its in
structions can be binding only those four
delegates. A dispatch from Cleveland TO The
New York World" announces that at least six
of the forty-six delegates from Ohio are not
committed TO Bryan, and TO avoid voting for
him are challenging the validity Of the unit rule

anachronism and should be glad 10 the Ohio
