occasion 10 call attention 20 th
labors Of the hierarchy in the VI
rious DEMOCRATIC convention
which were selecting delegates I
ih" National Democratic couycI
ton at Baltimore. Il pointed on
tfat IN all eases where the CAtl
oiics were in control, that the del,
cation was going UNIN
STRUCTED. That where IN
Catholics could not control. the
secured instructions divided b,
tween two candidates. if possibl
and II not possible. they secure
instructions for different cand
dates in different conventions. Tn
idea behind this was TO have IN
democratic convention so thor
oughly scattered in its preference
that no one candidate would b
able 20 secure the nominatio
without the HELP OF THE IN
INSTRUCTED DELEG ATES
WOULD BE UNDEl

How we'll this has worked on
and the conditions under whic
the democratic nominee MUS

~ testified 10 by the followin
Associated Press report of Jun
18th:
NEW YORK, June Ii
Charles F. Murphy, Tam
many boss, will be a power in
the democratic convention at
Baltimore. According TO
democratic rules, the winning
candidate for the presidential
nomination must receive the
votes Of more than two-thirds
Of the national delegates. No
candidate will have a two.
thirds vote on the FIRE. ballot
at Baltimore hence the ninety
uninstructed delegates from
New York will early become
a most important factor. The
New York delegation is bound
by the unit rule; that is, all
the delegates must vote as a
unit. How this unit will vote
will be determined by Murphy.
II is conceivable that some one
candidate, Clark, for instance,
might have within ninety
votes Of enough without New
York TO secure the nomina-
tion. II would then be up to
the Tammany boss to say
whether or not this candidate
should be the democratic
nominee.
No one knows where Murphy
stands on the question of the
presidency. II is believed.
however, that he is opposed
to Woodrow Wilson.
