Convention May
EndTwo-Thirds Rule
By Majority Vote

Parliamentarians here made 1t
clear Yesterday that only ma
iority. not two-thirds, of the vote
in the Democratic National Con-
vention would be necessary to abb
rogate the two-thirds majority
rule applying to the balloting for
the presidential candidate.
At Speaker John N. Gamers
ONCE it was explained that the
question would come before the
Rules Committee first and then
be taken to the floor Of the con-
vention if a majority vote for
abrogation were reported, or a
minority report presented for the
consideration Of the convention.
Then the convention would
vote, simple majority deciding
the issue.
If. however. the convention
adopted the two-thirds rule and a
motion were made to change the
rule after its adoption. a two
thirds majority vote would be re-
quired.

LOS ANGELES, June 25.-Repubn-

led; the other filled with orange juice

California Republicans, knowing that
there could be no other result than
Hoover, profess themselves satisfied and
confident AS a matter of fact good
many of them are neither. The pro-

Curtis.
Democratic delegates are pledged to
Garner. but expect to be released from
this obligation early in the game.
Roosevelt has lost ground. There is a
story that McAdoo has been flirting a
bit with Al Smith. The smiling war
rior' is stronger in California now than
be was at the April primary. Leaders
believe a dark horse will be nominated

Wanke said today:

Despite his assertion. there were

He shrugged his shoulders as if
