that 1t would probably he found Diff

The belief is universal hsre that Mr..

Representative A. Mitchell Palymer
of Pennsylvania is candidate for

ance with Democratic platform
pledges. Iieury Morgenthau of New

confidence, is much discussed and
Josephus Daniels. editor of the Ra-

deemed highly probable selection,
because the South will have a greater
