direct manner. a large number o,
those on the ground have come to the
conclusion that it is useless to look
for an elaboration.
Field Seen Open.
Accordingly, but proceeding with
caution, they have begun to feel each
other out on the best course to pur-
sue after the committee meeting ad-
journs, and it is the opinion of some
of the most prominent members that
the only thing to do is TO go back
home with the word that the field is
open to any one whose chooses to be-
come active for the nomination.
1t is the judgement of some, in
fact, that this conclusion will be the
most notable result of the meeting,
which In previous years has led to
the laying of concrete campaign plans,
but many believe that while the sit.
uation will tend to clear itself as time
progresses, conditions at the opening
of the primary election campaign will
be on a more delicate basis of polit
ical understanding than in other re-
cent presidential years.
A significant angle of the carly dis
Cussions of possible candidates Is that
they are confined for the most part to
the few men who have been men

lIcan nomination. outside of Curtis
