 Many democrats hope that at the presidential convention in Baltimore a resolution will be adopted which will be the preliminary step to the abYueation of the tWo-thirIs rui" iu the national convention of 1916. This tWu-thirds rule was first adopted in 1882. but it is democratic authority that it was not the intention of that convention to continue the rule. The rule was dropped in lSio. but in 1S44 it was revived and it has been the rule ever since by which clndi- dates of the democratic national party were nominated for president
 Many republicans there are who declare that if the controversy be- tween the friends of President Taft and the friends of Colonel Roosevelt grows much more stubborn. there may be developed in the national convention so' stiff struggle be- tween the Taft and the Roosevelt men that the convention may be compelled to run to a compromise candidate. Up to this time no pro- posed compromise candidate has been mentioned in the inner circles of the republican party except Association Justice Hughes of tine supreme court 1 of the United States.
