SEABURY FLAYS
FIGHT ON RULES
Thinks Wo-ThirdS Discard
Bar to Election.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, June 27.-Any candi-
date who discards the two-thirds
rules of the Democratic national
convention can not be elected, in
the belief of Samuel Seabury, prose-
cutor of charges against Mayor
James j. Walker of New York.
Seabury announced his belief in a
statement which thrust at the forces
of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt,
who seek to have the rule cast aside.
The Seabury statement declared /:
Amy candidate for the preSi-
dency who changes the rules which
prevailed at the time the delegates
we're elected in order to win the
nomination, can not, in my judg-
ment, be elected.
Our governmental and party sys-
TENS are founded upon the preser-
walton of the rights of the states.
The two-thirds rule is we'll calcu-
lated to protect these state rights.
Furthermore, experience has
shown that the requirement that a
candidate must obtain a two-thirds
vote insures, in the long run, the
selection of the worthiest candidate.
THE rule is a tradition of the
Democratic party and has been in
force for a century. The mainte-
nance of this tradition and the
other reasons which support the rule
are too important to be sacrificed to
a rule-or-ruin policy in the eper-
sonal interests of any candidate"

grave smile as she descended from

blue polka dot dress, with
clever white packet. and one of
the broad brimmed hats she usual
ly wears.
Mrs. Wilson never misses the
meetings Of the Democrats. Never

influence one of them, or even to
hint at the opinions she quietly
and definitely possesses. The en-
vious of the past. the newcomers
in the ranks, are all her friends.

In the strife swirling about this

The hostility toward steam-roller

Several delegations favorable to
Roosevelt will oppose the action of

Louisiana group.
1t is just this reaction which the
Roosevelt people fear and hope to

votes, it is estimated that these
clashes and rivalries caused him a

MAP FINANCING
OF DEMOCRATS
Party Leaders Seek Small
Campaign Offerings.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, June 27.-Democrats,
looking to the necessary financing
of the campaign, are planning a
campaign for comparatively small
contributions.
A fund committee of around 800
to 700 persons is being formed, with
each man assigned the task of get
ting a $4,000 contribution. This may
be sought from an individual, or
from a group of persons.
The "anger' of the party, Chair
man John ]. Rasbok, is due to be
supceded as national chairman at
meeting after the convention.
With his passing, an almost I'M
ending source of funds will undoubt-
eddy be closed.
This will be all the truer if Gov
ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt is the
conventions choice, for Raskob is
an Alfred E. Smith man, and OPP
poses Roosevelt.
Roosevelt, however, is credited
with having many well-to-do friends
who will be approached for aid.
Likewise, the Roosevelt family is
rated as possessing considerable
funds which could be drawn upon
in connection with furthering his
campaign.
Both major parties have expert
enced difficulties during the depres-
sion, in getting the sinews of war.
The Republican party has started
its campaign by floating a $25 900
loan, and the Democrats are now
engaged in seeking the small con-
tributions for victory fund"
