= affaFra1D sssss y
The final smashup between the city
hall and the governor was the chief
subject considered in nearly all of the
conferences that were held. The con-
sensus of opinion among the candi-
date makers, as privately expressed,
was that the Lowden candidacy had
been aided most materially by the
mayors midnight attack that was
launched Saturday night. Old timers
at the national convention game ex-
pressed the judgment that yesterday
was clearly a Lowden day. and that
the Illinois governor had more thar
regained any ground that had been
lost during the week just ended.
Driven Into Open.
The men who are directing the
convention strategy for the Lowden
forces seemed to be particularly
pleased with the fact that the city
hall is now in the open.
ut is entirely satisfactory that the
city hall is now pegged out" was the
statement at Lowden headquarters.
Where thAir delegates are going we
don't know, nor do we care"
The report was constantly heard in
the Congress hotel lobbies that the
halls forces had been offered to
Senator Johnson, and it is generally
believed that they will be found vot-
ing for him.
Senator Johnson was asked If any
such formal tender had been made
to him Of the Thompson delegates,
and if 1t were true that he had re-
fused the proffer.
He laughed and said: TASK the
other candidates how many dele
gates they have refused to accept"

den. The Thompson-Lundin organi-
zation believes that the governor has
an excellent opportunity to win the
presidential nomination. which would
probably reduce whatever chance the
mayor has to become United States
senator from Illinois. 50 the city
hall crowd Is intensely interested.
The mayors statement and nearly
every action of the city hall leaders
in the last two days indicate that
their principal purpose in life at
present is to serve and save their
own organization and clear aside
every obstruction to its progress and
| success.
