ON CONVENTION EVE, PARTY STILL UP WAR CONCERNING
 MAN FOR VICE PRESIDENCY
By The Associated Press,

By The Associated Press
 Cleveland, O., June 9.-The conven- ton swirl is running at high tide Vice presidential candidates are being carried about in it's currents without being landed anywhere.
 Delegations are busy caucusing choosing their selections to the con nention committees and naming their representatives on the incoming na- tional committee.
 The platform builders today were holding preliminary conferences and the platform itself began to take shape with the arrival Of c. Bascom Slemp. secretary 10 President Cool idge, who conferred with Chairman Warren Of the resolutions committee William NJ. Butler, the president i campaign manager, and Frank w stearns, his friend and Warwick, Lowden Men Active The Lowden boomers got their breath over night and their feeling that the former governor of Illinois could not eliminate himself by yester- days declination of the nomination gathered force.
 Lowden is in Ohio today, making a speech at oxford. Word was sent to him that his friends at the convention hoped he would not close the door further at this time. Meantime they buzzed about and found good many who expressed the view that I.owden ought to be drafted and could not possibly refuse.
 Others Mentioned
 The other booms were less active. Kansas in caucus voted ?a to for Charles ". Dawes. The other vote went for Albert ]. Beveridge of In- diana, Despite the Iowa delegations s decision for Representative Dickinson. there was a good deal Of talk for Judge William s. Kenyon, former leader or the senate farm bloc, who was offered the post of secretary Of navy but declined IL. James w. Good, former Iowa congressman and western campaign manager for the president, was taking a lead in pro- posing Judge Kenyon.
 Minnesota added new name 10 the list with a candidacy for Charles II. March of Litchheld. The state delc- sation decided to endorse him.
 Tn the dark horse list more talk was heard again today Of boom for Dr. Marion Burton of the University Of Michigan, who will place Presi- dent Coolidge in nomination. Dr. lurton's friends hoped that there would be no definite specialization of sentiment on the vice. presidency un- til after pr. Burton makes his speech and Riter the convention an oppor- tunity tc see him in action.
 II was apparent that program Of letting the ice-presidential situation simmer while was being fostered all around. Secretary Hoover's name continued 10 hold ifs promence in all the discussions. lt was coupled with Dr Burton and Major General Harbord. now president of the Radio Corporation Of America. in a list of three which it was said Uould be among those acceptable to inc White House.

she must put on her brakes, she gen.

1t would be interesting to know
Just how generally this opinion is
held amongst motorists and to what
extent the sentiments so emphatic
ally expressed by this gentleman find
echo. OF the group who listened to
the above monologue, none dissent
ed very forcibly, while several inter-
jected remarks of their own with in
cidents in confederation of the sew
eral points made by the speaker.
There are of course two sides to the
proposition and there are those who
will hold that because of her high
strung temperament, woman is per-
haps the Better driver. and those
who hold this belief will not by any
means be confined to the gentler sex
either. However for his frankness
and for the completeness of the case
against women drivers which the
citizen had built up we pass his re-
marks along and shall take issue
with no person who cares to- differ
in its main points.
