it is quite apparent that so far as the conservatives are concerned they are sure to try to capture the nomination.
 Many of the conservative leaders feel strongly. however, that If the platform is to appeal especially to the east, the nominee must be someone residing in the west ol midwest.
 That is a simple principle 0l practical strategy to which former President Hoover, among others, is said authoritatively to subscribe.

By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

The unanimous disposition in po- litical circles is to regard the con- test for next years Republican pres- idential nomination as wholly un- settled, although some currents of party opinion recently have clari- fled the situation to limited de- gree.
 It is apparent, for instance, that the old feud between the right and left wings of Republicanism is re- yiving. That alone is important be- cause it has a direct bearing on any calculation as to 1886 candi- dacies
 The causes for the revival are several One is the intensive activ- ity of the conservative leaders. who are organizing on a wide front to insure an out-and-out party avoid- ance of any concession to radical ism. Naturally there is reaction among the left -wingers. In it's present status, this cleav- age affords as good a basis as any for analysing what may happen ai to candidates.
