PEORIA, H., April 20.-Mayor Har-

mitteeman Roger C. Sullivan, suggest
ing a basis of compromise, continued
today their fight for control of the
democratic party in holding two dis
tinct state democratic conventions and
nominating two sets of delegates from
Cook county and the state at large to
the national convention.
There was selected only one set of
down-state delegates, however
Sullivan leaders said tonight Mayor
Harrison had read himself out of the
democratic party by his refusal to
enter the Sullivan convention and that
the Chicago executive would have no
standing at Baltimore
The Harrison men expressed conf
dence that they would be given near
ing on the Cook county and the state
at-large situation by the democratic
national convention and that they ex
pected Sullivan's apparent strength
would be diminished considerably at
that time.
The platform drafted by j. Hamilton
Lewis and others of Chicago was
adopted in both conventions.

During the past year there has been SO

that literature published a year or
more ago is out of date, and the time
is ripe for something up-to-date. The

fact, the rigidity with which it en-

quirement, when other strong institu-

THE quality of the faculty is sur

it has better degree of stability than
have several other of the state univer-
