Roosevelt, the Presidents friends count
confidently on controlling the state conven-

are equally positive I'm asserting that they
will control the convention and name the
delegates-at-large As most OF the coun-
try delegates are still to be chosen by
county conventions. politicians say the
question who will have the delcgation-at-
large will not be settled until the state
convention meets on June 3. There is no
such uncertainty among the Democrats,
for under the party rules in Ohio the man
who captures a majority OF the district
delegates is entitled TO the delcgation-at-
large. Governor Harmon, by his defeat OF
Governor Wilson, will have the entire Ohio
delegation behind him in the Baltimore
