 In reference to otlier subjects, however. the indications are that there will be ex- eitement. It is considered problematical that the lowering dove of peace will be permitted to light This is true despite the fact that there will be no practical opposition to Henry D.. Clayton as tenn porary chairman of the convention and Col. H. $. D. Mallory as permanent chair man.
