clean up the slate before the con-
vention meets next Tuesday seems to
be growing
Political forces are gathering slow
~ here; and. while the preconvention
circle has its usual line of gossip
and prediction. no political leader of
recognized importance has up to this
time been willing to attach his name

the convention will name as it's can
daoate. or when 1t is likely to do it.
The end Of the week. with the proba-
ever. win bring ali the national lead

sunday convention plans are expect
ed to begin taking definite form.
Ine johnson forces are counting on
a burst OF speed with the arrival of
Senator johnson here tomorrow. A
street parade and demonstration have
been arranged. A large delegation Of
service men who saw service with the
American forces in Siberia, which the
senator fought to have returned home,
will be in the escort.
Senator Harding is coming also to-
morrow. Gen. Wood is here and at
his headquarters at Fort Sheridan.
and Gov. Lowden already is here.
Thus after tomorrow four. Of the pres.
idential candidates will be on the
ground comforting with their forces
In person. and a more definite line Of
will be one of the first results.
In the coming convention the unin-
structed delegates are holding the
balance of power. and already plans
for sounding out their preferences are
being discussed. A caucus of the un-
instructed some time after Sunday is
one of the plans being canvassed.
Quite irrespective of any decisions the
national committee may make on the
pending contests the uninstructed
delegates will still remain in the ma
jority. and the managers of the vari-
Gus candidates are working on plans
to bring them to their support.
Platform Planks.
Such discussion Of the platform planks
as is going on among the national COM
mitteemen seems to indicate that a ma
jorfty feel that the prohibition question
may be regarded as one not necessarily
to be included, because the issue has
been written into the Constitution and
has become the law Of the land.
Many committeeman feel that the suf-
frage question is a parallel one in many
the states with the Endorsement of the
party and is awaiting ratification.
In the field of foreign relations there
seems to be an agreement OF opinion
that the Mexican plank will follow the
pronouncement of four years ago in
which the democratic administration
policy was denounced. AS regards the
peace treaty and the league of nations,
the plank adopted by the Indiana state
republican convention may serve as a
nucleus for the plank in the national
platform.
The selection of a permanent chair
man seems to have made no progress
in the last three or four days. There
is now less talk among committee
men Of the selection of former Sena-
tor Beveridge of Indiana, and more
talk of an agreement on Senator Nc
Cormick Of Illinois.
Political leaders here who are sup
porting Senator Mccormick claim to

The Soviets are endeavoring to close

about equal to the Vanderlip orders
and have assured the Swedes that If
these first orders are filled promptly

France does not wish TO intervene in

puts at its head a sovereign who showed

of our enemies, that Power ought to be

fulfill the military clauses of the pre-

message was received In Warsaw to-

peace negotiations, which had been inter-
rupted by the Soviet delegates.
Polish public opinion OF all shades
apparently Is satisfied that the disagree
nent has been settled and political cir
cles express confidence that henceforth
the negotiations will proceed more rap
idly, as the Poles by their latest move
have shown willingness to keep all their
pledges. The press asserts the rupture
OF the negotiations by the Soviet dele
cation seems TO have been a diplomatic
subterfuge to show Poland that the So
viets have strengthened their position
since the defeat OF Gen. Wrangel.
