According to the plans an effort will

candidate ever received, An old time
landslide, greater than the presidential
landslide OF last year is the goal OF
the Shank leaders, who are now con-
vinced that their candidate has the
election won.
Te most amazing thing about the
plan Is that It is regarded very seri-
ously by the regular orthodox repubh-
cans. The foreseeing party leaders
see a. possibility OF Shank not only be-
ing a candidate. but obtaining the
nomination under the primary system.
