headquarters Of the woman's party just
opposite the coliseum, from which the

Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman of Illi-
tee. Is In Chicago today with his fight

did when he arrived was to denounce
the foes Of Gov. Lowden. He placed the
democratic brand on this opposition.

representatives of the democratic party.
The sole motive is in having the repub-
lican convention nominate a weak can

democrats in November. The same tao
tics were pursued In the April primaries.
Democratic voters undertook to thrust
upon the republicans candidates not of
republican selection. 1t is a favorite
scheme"
Senator Sherman privately admitted
that the revelations before the Senate
campaign investigation committee had
hurt Lowden. but added that he did not
think that the injury was irremediable

the Missouri delegates, counted for
Gov. Lowden before the disclosures
of campaign expenses in that state,

admittedly a doubtful state. Not only
are many Of the voters there now
angry with Lowden, but they fear
that he could not receive enough
