Of the McNary-Hauzsn farmers has
thus far materialized. Some OF the
farm leaders are here. and at work,
and in good time they promise
plenty Of action. Blu. for the mo-
ment the pre-convention debate is
distinctly a debate over men rather
than platform declarations.
A warning Of serious trouble if
anyone tries to straddle on the
farm issue emanated today from no
less a leader than former Governor
Lowden. Within an hour after his
arrival in the convention city, and
in the middle Of a continuing series
of conferences with party leaders,
Mr.. Lowden told newspapermen that
he was insisting that the only
solution of the farm problem lay
in the equalization fee. twice re-
jected bv President Coolidge.

KANSAS CITY. June 9.-P1-The
delegated spokesman vf a divided
and somewhat bewildered republican
constituency are assembling in Kan
sas City for a national convention
that may be serene and peaceful or
may turn up one of the oldest
paradoxes in the history Of Ameri-
can politics.
AS matters stand tonight, some
sixty hours before Tuesdays open
ing convention session. Hoover il
so near to being nominated that
the alliance against him is giving
a very good imitation of q be-
leagued but desperately determined
battalion of stalwarts.
But there is one element of the
battle that makes definite predic-
tions untenable. That is the riddle
Of Coolidge.
Despite all he has said, a consid-
cradle block Of votes will be cast
for the president on the first bal
lot unless in the meantime he or
some trusted spokesman says some
thing more. Furthermore, If a real
prospect of his denomination devel-
OBS. the Hoover managers will be
the last to stand in his way. Their
whole strategic plan has rested on
the primary understanding that un-
der no circumstances must Hoover
be pitted against Coolidge.
Coolidge Can Solve Puzzle
Whether Mr.. Coolidge will speak
the word that can disrel this pug
element no n in Kansas City seems
to know. Some of his best friends
believe he will. Some think he will
send the long-awaited message to
his secretary. Everett Sanders, who
arrives Monday. Some believe he
already has given his final counsel
to Secretary Mellon, gho likewise is
TO reach Kansas City on the eve Of
the convention with the unpledged
Pennsylvania delegation OF 70, which
can either give Hoover the boost
his managers hope will Put him over
or can swell the Coolidge movement
to real proportions.
There is no dispute anywhere that
the delegation Of the keystone
state. the second largest in the con-
vention. mas become IN fact the key
stone of the nomination. The quiet.
almost bashful treasury secretary
thus has become in but eight years
of national political prominence
among the patriarcas, for whose
choice the convention hesitates.

sible consequences Of MIR. Melons
