he nomination will probably go to Henry Ford. Ford is indifferent to the attitude of labor. never having permitted his shop to be unionized. The committee or forty-eight does not want to nominate Ford if it can in any way get LaFol- lette to run. Ford is regarded as ec- centric and uncomfortable. No one Will venture to guess what sort of campaign Ford would make If nominated or whal issues he would bring to the front to the exclusion of the economic issues which the leaders of the forty-eight de- sire to prevent.

MANY PET THEORIES

There are many small groups here and many people with pet theories. The single taxers are the most numerous and make the most noise, but neither the committee of forty-eight nor the labor leaders are paying much attention to them, and their opposition to LaFol- lette is not enough to prevent his ac- cepting the nomination if labor and the forty-eight can get together The gen. eral opinion is that the single taxers represent few votes and that these votes will come to the third party in any event.
 The position of Hearsts constitutional party is less clear because no one can be absolutely sure what he is up to. His party is apparently waiting to see what comes out of the conferences be- tween labor and the forty eight Hearst s position probably is similar to that of LaFollette. If what promises to be a real party results from the movement here, Hearst will probably be found supporting it. There are no signs of negotiations between the forty-eght ana Hearst, but the leaders of the forty eight appear to expect Hearsts support if they succeed in getting together with labor and inducing LaFollette to become their candidate.
 If a fusion between labor and the forty-eight fails and if for this reason LaFollette refuses to be the candidate,

socialism. To differentiate themselves from Gompers. Fitzpatrick and his as- sociates want to nominate ticket up- on an extremely radical, if not wholly, socialistic platform. They are thinking of the international policies of the Amer ican Federation of Labor when they in- sist that the third party being created here shall be a much more radical party than MT. Pinchot, Mir. Record and MT. McCurdy wish it to be.
 The committee of forty-eight is in fa- vor of the government ownership and operation of railroads and other public utilities. It is also in favor of the gov ernment ownership of such natural re- sources as are the basis of monopolies. The labor leaders here want much more than this. They want the government operation of natural resources, such as mines. They demand also the govern ment ownership of basic industry.
 The leaders of the two groups are thus far apart, but hopes of compromise lie on the floor of both conventions. The membership of the two conventions is probably less far apart than the lead CTS.
 The body of delegates whom the forty eiSht have gathered together in the Nor rison hotel are much more radical than the men who wrote the preliminary plat form of the forty-eight. And the labor delegates are probably much less radi- cal than their leaders, who are think ing of keeping several jumps ahead of Gompers in the direction of radicalism. Thus Senator LaFollette's task of bring ing about harmony between the two con ventions is not nearly so difficult as it seems upon the surface.
 Labor may have to content itself with declaring merely for the government ownership of public utilities and mines and similar natural monopolies without demanding also complete standardization of industry. And the leaders of the forty-eight will probably have to yield in respect to the question of demoera- tic control of industry. The labor con- vention is likely to insist upon workers having a prominent share in the manage nent of industry. This division between labor and the leaders of the forty-eight upon just how radical the new party shall be is the only big issue in sight.
