Larger States May Pool.
If the program being talked of is
carried out, the leaders OF the delega-
tons from the larger states will have
a conference and decide whether thew
will pool their votes and, returning
to the convention next morning, cast
them for the man about whom they

candidates now in the field 10 one as

But with that as a starting point,
the seasoned politicians are quite

that some one of the candidates now
in the field, besides having good
prospects for his own nomination, will
also hold veto power which will com

In the Republican national conven-

James B. Reynolds, Of Massachusetts,
former secretary of the national COM

Behind the plumes, the fur neck
pieces, the smart frocks and tailleurs
of the lucky women who will hold
seats in the convention, will loom the
mystery of personality Chicago wo-
men and stray visitors to presidential
row will ask the question: What is
she like at home?"
Next to the presidential issue, wo-
man is the interesting question at the
present convention. Among the 160,-
900 who are asking for one of the
1929 seats in the conventions are
$4,000 women. Those who cannot OBJ
tain places are visiting presidential
row and offering their. services to the
different delegates.
Among the delegates who will cast

which adds to the uncertainty which
promises to continue up to the time
the convention begins to ballot. II is
a repeatedly expressed feeling among
state governors, chairmen of state
delegations and others that members

too much to say in convention plans

will have to be recognized remains to
be seen, but no one here denies that
there is an active agitation going on
to have others take hand in making
