Not the Republican convention.
II Will merely register the votes
OF the delegates by which the
necessary formal action will be
conSecrated. sun less will the
primaries nominate the candidate.
Unfortunately they have been
almost a joke this year. The num-
Der OF votes cast has been IN most
cases negligible and the majorities
by which the candidates have
been chosen have been worse
than negligible. The candidate.

II Is possible TO speak with
some certainty In this regard be
cause the probability l. extremely
great that the same methods
which have been in vogue in the
Republican organization since IL
was founded will still De followed
IN the coming convention and We
know pretty definitely that IN
most cases IN the past the leaders
selected the candidate. and not
the great body of the delegates.
