Penrose. no one knows exactly which
candidate this tower OF strength
hnally Will prop. but today. as yes
terday the tip was strong that Sena-
ne needed II to go over the top.
Johnson's friends Work Hard.
Senator Hiram johnson is not
known to be at peace with Eastern
Republicans OF power, but his friends
here, and they are numerous, are
Fighting hard for him as "the man
who can win the election next fall"
Johnson. Lowden. Wood. and Poin-
dexter, are making determined
tight on the ground. Delegates are
under the terrific pressure from. each
or them, the former three hoping for
a quick decision when balloting starts
next Friday.
Poindexter appears to be hoping
for late result. The same is true OF
Harding, who will come In late sun
day or Monday morning without fire
works. Butler men are doing little
active work on the ground. Coolidge's
friends are moderately active.
"Buttonhoiing" for Hoover.
Hoover is distinctly receptive can
didate. his legion OF local workers
say, as they go about from buttonhole
TO buttonhole talking" him as "a
man of works and high distinction"
This is peculiarly quiet work, the
psychology OF which rests upon the
power OF calm persuasion.
Wood has less than 200 instructed
delegates: johnson has little more
than 100 instructed delegates; and the
third member OF the big three" Gov
ernor Lowden, has about the some.
The rest are split up among the va
rious favoritc sons, to whose support
they are not pledged after the first
several ballots.
After these first ballots, these dele
gates are in imminent danger OF
splitting up into small groups. so
numerous that to weld them together
IN cohesive voting mass would be
a herculean task.
Committee Against Wood.
Half a dozen men are ambitious to-
day TO fall heir OF the job Of the
straw boss" lying on sick bed in
Philadelphia. Not one OF them can
now muster sufficient strength to
weld the parts OF an organization to-
gether. Among these who are promi-
nently mentioned are A. T. Hert, of
Kentucky: James B. Kealing. OF In
diana: J. T. King, OF Connecticut;
Charles b. Warren. of Michigan: Jim
Watson, OF Indiana, and Coleman du
