There is another possible situation; many regard IL as not only
possible. but probable. The struggle between conservative and pro.
gressiye forces may deadlock the convention $ that neither Harmon
nor Wilson can win. In that case. there will be a call for the man
who can command support from both sides. Speaker Clark is in the
