CHICAGO, June 27.-There is
@ dynamic quality to the Demo
cratic convention that was singu-
larly absent from that which ad-
tourned a week ago. The hotel
1obbies fairly pulsate with emo
tion. There Is nothing lonesome
here.
The contest for the presidential
nomination is as spirited as any
we have known, though no one
doubts that Roosevelt is far in
the lead. The most acrimonious
discussions revolve around the
two preliminary fights over the
permanent chairmanship and the
abrogation of the two-thirds rule.
Here the fight unquestionably is
rather bitter.
On the permanent chairman
ship contest the Roosevelt forces
will not be able to hold together.
The reason is not far to seek. It
is generally conceded that the
majority should have the power
to organize the convention, but
the point is made that Jouett
Shouse actually was commended
for the permanent Craftsmanship
and the press of the country car
ried the announcement. Under
the circumstances the repudiation
of the commentator by the con-
vention would amount to a hui
initiation of Shouse.
Faithful to Party
No one seriously questions the
claim of his supporters that dur
ing the last three years and more
he has rendered service of i'm
measurable value to the Demo
cratic party. Some Roosevelt men
feel thus, and will vote for him.
More bitter and dangerous is
the contest over the abrogation
of the two-thirdS rule. There are
some who, on principle, are, and
ever have been, against the rule,
who believe it dangerous to party
solidarity to set it aside under the
existing circumstances. These are
found among delegates who will
support Roosevelt for the nomina-
tion.
Thus there promises to be a
strange miX-up on this vote. There
are Smith men from Connecticut
who will vote to abrogate, and
Roosevelt men from North Caro-
lima and Mississippi who will vote
against abrogation.
The contest here depends to
q considerable extent upon the
attitude of the southern delega-
tionS pledged to Roosevelt Tor
the nomination. John Stewart
Bryan, the distinguished editor of
Richmond, Va, has sent a We
hement protest to every southern
paper. He bases his opposition
on the ground that the abroga-
ton of the rule will make the
Southern States the mere vassais
Of the North and West.
SOutherners Split
This is in accord with the ira
ditional position of the South for
generations. Others from the
South, however, insist that this
attitude was inspired by condi-
= tions existing in the decades fol
lowing the war between the
States and these no longer OBJ
tain.
There is every indication that
the decision of this mooted ques-
ton will determine the supreme
event. 1t will be a bitter con-
test, since, with the abrogation,
practically all the candidates, ex-
cept Roosevelt. would be swept
out of the picture.
The explanation offered by
those favoring the step is that
the two-thirds rule wrecked the
party's prospects in the conven-
ton at Madison Square Garden
by prolonging the balloting un-
til the party had been torn
into warning segments. They say
they want no repetition of that
tragedy.

MAYOR JAMES WALKER PROTESTS BEEN MADE
 POLITICAL FOOTBALL

ALBANY, N. Y., July 29, (P)-Pro- testing in fiery language that he had been made political football and a target for hostility and mis- representation" Mayor James J. Walker demanded of Governor F. D. Roosevelt complete exoneration of the charges against him on which his removal is sought.
 This is his reply in the case brot against him by Samuel Seabury, counsel for the Republican con- trolled State legislature committee appointed to investigate the sen sational allegations of corruption in New York City.
 The Mayors answer and the Governors action is held as of na- tional significance because the case had been injected into the politi- cal campaign. Roosevelt will pro- bably take whatever action s planned under consideration in the mar f,,t,,rA a.s
 Walker, in his 2O,C00 word docu- ment, charged that the entire city inquiry was motivated by the Re- publican party and charged that the object of the drive against him was to blacken the reputation of city administration, thus diverting public attention from those res ponSible for the "dreadful condi- tion of affairs throughout the na- tiOn."

PARAGUAY SAID ID BE C0NsCR|PT|NC MEN,
 RESERVE OFFICERS

ASUCION, Paraguay, July 29, - Reports circulated in usually re- liable sources said Paraguayan re- serve officers and certain classes of conscripts had been called to the colors. The government denied the reports.
 Paraguay recently has been in volved in a serious conflict with Bolivia over the Gran Chaco from tier and there have been many public demonstrations in Bolivia calling for war.
 The reports said there was no general mobilization in Paraguay as yet. The reserves also have not been ordered to the Chaco area where several frontier clashes oc- cured in recent weeks but are be- ing given a period of training.
 President Jose P. Guggiaria de- rided rumors of a general mobiliza- tion preparatory to open warfare against Bolivia in the Chaco ter ritory.
 Cheered by thousands, a troop train left La Paz a few days ago flor the Bolivian interior" within 12 hours of a reported Paraguayan attack on the Bolivian fort, Mar iscal, in the Chaco territory.
 A communidue said 500 Para guans had surrounded the fort on July 16 and that the Bolivians had poured artillery fire into the ad- vancing ranks stopping their ad- vance and causing heavy losses" " It added "our troops valiantly for a day and one-half repulsed the enemy"

DRY QUARTZ DRILLING IN ALASKA MINES HAS
 RESULTED IN DEATHS

In all likelihod the next session of the Alaska Legislature will be asked to enact a law against dry drilling in quartz mines.
 It has come to light that one or more deaths have been traceable to pulmonary trouble, ending in consumption.
 Speaking of the condition, Ben Stewart, chief of the Bureau of Mines for Alaska, indicated that he would approve such law, calling for wet drilling where jack ham mers or machine drills were used.
 In such mines as the Alaska Ju- neau, only water lines or wet drill ing is in operation, but in some of the smaller mines, where machine drills have been introduced, the dry holes are gradually producing miners consumption, caused by the fine dust, blown by the air operat- ing the drills and being inhaled by workmen.
 It is also reported that many prospects where long tunnels have been driven have not formed sy- phon connections with the surface, by which foul air is withdrawn and pure air circulated. The result is that carbon monoXide accumulateS which, coupled with acidic fumes emanating from powder blasts, creates dangerous condition res pecting health.
 The cheapest method of ventilla- tion is by an upraise from tunnel workings to the surface, with brat tices or reflections for controlling the air currents. AS an illustration, should the updraft be too severe. it has a tendency to draw in the in tensely cold air, especially in win ter, subjecting workmen emerging while in state of precipitation to sudden chilling and consequent colds.
 This question is fully covered in coal mines regulations, but has not been made to fully cover quartz mines, owing to lack of develop ment along this line.
 Now that the quartz era has come and with it what promises to be a spirited era of underground mining, plans are incubating to ex- tend regulations to cover every phase of sanitation and safety for underground workers.

 In a 10000 word reply to the charges filed by Samuel Seabury, noted Tammany investigator, Wal ker charged a Republican conspir- acy to besmirch his reputation and embitter the Democratic party, both state and national.
 The mayor accused Seabury of going beyond the boundaries of an administration inquiry to operate man hunt" destroy him politi- cally, and make him the victim of gossip and slander.

 Compulsory military training always has been the sternest and the best school for the German man." declared Hugenberg. Ger man youth demands leadership and discipline.

MENACE IS SEEN
To j. 8. WHEAT

The system of wheat quotas
recently established in European
countries, to enforce the larger
utilization of homegrown grain,
imposes far-reaching limitations
on the international wheat trade
and represents formidable men
ace to farmers in America and
other surplus producing coun-
tries, according to Leo PasVolsky,
in the July Country Gentleman.
The machinery and methods
for this regulation of flour-mill-
ing vary in the different coun-
tries. the writer states in his
article, but the objective is always
the same:
ITO insure the domestic
wheat grower a higher price
than the ruinousIy low quota
tiOns that rule on the SO-called
world market and an OppOr-
tunity to sell at this increased
price all the grain he can har-
vest"
Mr.. Pasvolsky is a member of
the staff of the Institute of Eco
nomicS of the Brookings Institu-
ton, here, and is the author of
Economic Nationalism of the
Danubian States" and other
books on economics.
