lFE nowadays seems to abound IN
Il the by no means equflateraI
triangle" There are all sorts Of
variations Of this triangle Of three
to-a-romauce. Generally the one who
suffers IS the wife. She has to sit
at home helpless and a little looked
down on by a sympathizing world
which feels that she should have
managed better.

So. even while condemniug the err

gesting that there may be mitigating

blameless. We don't think that what
he did was right But men must be

food and all that. and a wife ignores
the facts in the case aud in human
nature is bound 20 suffer.
All OF which has just enough truth
IN it 70 be dangerous and harmful
For there are plenty Of platitudes
which may in some measure explain
disloyalty or unfaith. but they don't
excuse it or mitigate its ugliness.
But here's a new phase OF the eter-
nal triangle. 1t displays the man in
a naive pose Of injured innocence and
ft shows also the ugly potentialities
life holds FOR the woman or the girl
who takes what belongs to another.

Disquieting reports of a drive by up
state members Of the New York dele
cation to the Democratic National Con-
vention to round up members in favor
of the nomination of William G. Nc
Adoo for the Presidency have reached
the local Tarhmany leaders. The re-
ports indicate that the movement is
making some headway, and that the up
state men, headed by Mayor George R.
Lunn, OF Schenectady, are rallyng q
considerable force for a fight on the
moor OF the convention at San Fran
cisco against the unit rule. This would
open the door for them to support Nc
Adoo.
Inc delegation at the Albany confer
ence several weeks ago adopted the
unit rule over the opposition of Mayor
Lunn and eight or ten other delegates.
These men approved the Lunn an
nouncement that he was for McAdoo
and would appeal to the convention
against the unit rule. Since that time
Mayor Lunn and his associates have
been working hard among the upstate
delegates. 1t is understood that sew
eral upstate leaders have shown an in
cllnation to go over to the McAdoo
forces. The McAdoo supporters saw

Some Would Crush Wilson
Michael j. Walsh, Democratic leader
IN Westminster County, is among the
delegates nearer Tammany's home
grounds who are understood to be in
sympathy with the McAdoo drive. The
feeling is growing among the New York
delegates that McAdoo will be nomi-
mated, and they wish to escape the un-
comfortable situation created by the
Empire State delegation always being
against the ultimate winner.
Other delegates are said to be willing
to. swing to McAdoo in order to
"slaughter Wilson" They do not be-
!leve that McAdoo could be elected, and
look for consolation in his defeat, as
1T would mean the end of Wilson domi-
nation in the party for all time. They
point out that if some one other than
a Wilson protege is nominated and de-
feated 1T would leave the Wilson forces s

For Smith on First Ballot
While the New York delegation will
go to the convention uninstructed.
there is little doubt that the DELEGATES
will give Governor Alfred D Smith
a complimentary vote on the first bal
lot. After that the choice of the
leaders who now control the majority
of the delegation is Vice-President
Marshall, with Governor James Z Cox.
