At | present, despite. the additional names mentioned today, I think that Mir Towne's- name Is now easily the most prominent before the delegates" | The Kern boom. for vice president gained no particular impetus today | Mir Kern declared that he was not d candidate and would endeavor to keep his name from being mentioned in the | convention.

 gers who may be attracted to the
