REVOLT IN G. o. P. RANKS.

With the Chicago convention less than one week old revolt in the ranks of the Republican Party seems to be assured. The outbreaks are unusual in that organization. In recent campaign years Democratic disunty has been more common than leaders of that party found compatible with the organizations hopes of and chances for success In the ranks of the G. O. P, however, regardless or the dissention prior to the conventions succeeding them it has presented a united front which has helped it to win the last three Presidential cleo tions For 12 years, despite the oil lands scandals and the Prohibition uproar, the Republicans have moved in orderly procession and unwavering loyalty to the party and it's candidates.
 The new national chairman of the party, Everett Sanders who will be held responsible for the cam paign, has more than ordinary task confronting him He is experienced in rough and tumble pot- ical affrays He member of the national House of Representatives from Indiana several terms He left that position to become private secretary to President Coolidge In the former role, he learned the ABCs of practical politics, and in the White House took postgraduate course. He was popular with the newspaper correspondents and with lead- CTS of the party throughout the country Under nor nal conditions there is question about his ability to direct this years national campaign for the Re publicans But this is not an average year.
 Without revolt his task would be gigantic The country is going through it's second year of hard times The two-car garage and eight-tube radio that Candidate Hoover previsoned under con- tinued Republican administration has not only not been realized under President Hoover, but many who had one car and no garage and old battery radio set have lost both along with the mortgaged old homestead Presumably the same thing would have happened had MT. Hoover not been elected Still 1t doesn't square with Candidate Hoovers prediction predictions and political aibis on the why's and wherefores furnish poor campaign ammunition Il there were no other problems for the new natona chairman to solve, the soothing of the protest vote would be serious.
 There are others that have just as serious impi- cations. pr. Nicholas Murray Butler, militant we of New York, voiced the sentiment of his own group last week when he urged the New England State to revolt against the Prohibition plank adopted b! the Chicago convention. Prior to that convention reports emenating from Washington said party lead CTS had written plank that would be satisfactor! to all factions. It is evident that the planl either went astray between the national capita and the convention city or it's supporters were to optimistic. It is patent that the Wet branch is no only dissatisfied but also in rebellion.
 Nor is Senator Borah pleased with it any nor than the Vets. From the floor of the Senate h has openly declared he will not support Presiden Hoover for reelection. He will not be bound il any respect by the Chicago platform and will mak direct fight the Prohibition plank.
 Such outbreaks as these in the Republican Part in national campaign years make unaccustome reading though not out of the ordinary at othe times Whether the Democrats will take advantag of the occurrence to their own profit will be un revealed until the aftermath of their own conven tion comes along.
