Of the two-thirds rule.
Governor J. G. B. Ehringhaus, chair

vote. In it's caucus Tuesday, only nine
members opposed the proposal to alb
rogate the rule, with the delegation
going on record for casting it's 26
votes as a unit.
THE two-thirds rule is scheduled to
come before the convention tonight.

FARLEY IS BIGGEST
CONVENTION SHOW
Crowd in Philadelphia En-
tirely Different From
Cleveland Host
By LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer

Philadelphia, June 25-The most in
teresting sight to the onlookers in
Philadelphia is James A. Farley, in
action.
The National Democratic chairman
is congenial to all-shaking hands
with everybody-ev his enemies.
But behind the scenes he gives Or
ders to his subordinates that cause
them to sweat and frown. They obey,
however. Farley is not an inept gen.
eral. He is a far more suave general
than John D. M. Hamilton, new ma
tional Republican chairman.
Hamilton, as Governor Landon's
campaign manager was here, there
and everywhere in Cleveland. He was
the young executive, blowing his way
through at high speed.
Farley seems to have no speed. But
in his eye there is cold shrewdness
that bespeaks hard punches-perhaps
when one isn't looking.
DEMOCRATS
The crowd in Philadelphia is en-
tirely different from that in Cleve-
land. Republicans seemed the solid
type, whether wealthy or not. The
Democrats-well, they seem demo-
Gratis. There are more women among
them, too.
And, strange to say, the Democrats
seem better dressed than the Repub

Raleigh, June 25.-The number of

The troublesome two-thirds

Philadelphia June 25.-(AP)-Dr.
Francois E. Townsend intimated to-
day his old age pension movement
may launch a presidential candidate
of its own.
A decision on this, as we'll as on
the Townsendite attitude toward Con-
gresham Lemke's new Union party,
will be reached at a convention July
1919 in Cleveland, DR.. Townsend said.
Branding the Democratic conven-

they are in sympathy with AL Smith
and the four other anti-New Dealers
who asked the convention to abandon

Townsend said he would mot be In

In response to questions, he added:
I'VE may nominate a man of our
own. We would have to nave very
rapidly, of course, to get Registered.
We would not be able to get on the
ballots in some states, but in those
we could endorse other candidates

Protest against the crude, rough

during a military display Tuesday

The official protest complaining

make a formal answer later.

Lemke's Third Party Threat
Not Greatly Feared by

Philadelphia, June 25.-The Roose-
veltian management is represented in
some quarters as badly worried by
Congressman William Lemke's an
nouncement of his Union Party" can
didacy for president.
Though of course they don't admit
it, it's true that the Roosevelt folk
are a bit worried, but they are not
much worried by the Lemke develop
ment.
If all the voters who want a new
party could be brought together and
kept together they would constitute
a weighty consideration, but there Is
very little prospect that such a con-
solidation can be effected at present.
Each of several groups Of the dis
satisfied element wants it's own par

Convention Hail. Philadelphia, June
25.-(AP) A wearied Democratic

it's few troubles over credentials, but

other later on the platform
While the rules committee was vot-

nominating rule, the relatively few
delegates on the convention floor &C
copied the credentials committee re-
port unanimously.
There was no minority credentials
report, despite feelings between Min
nesota factions, both of which were
seated, splitting between them the
states % votes. The same comprom-
Use plan was adopted on contests from
Puerto Rico and the Canal Zone.
In the rules committee, New York
sprung a surprise by casting it's vote
with the minority opposing simple
majority nominations. A floor battle
was promised.

Failure of the platform sub-commit-

The return of Senator Carter Glass.
of Virginia, to the city, against doc

culation about his taking a hand on
the monetary plank after all.
Friends quickly denied it, saying
the old-timer had been aroused by re-
ports of his taking walk" along
with Alfred E. Smith when he left
abruptly earlier in the week and came
back to show he stood with the party.
Curiosity was aroused by rumors
that Smith might appear personally
against the New Deal after all. He
had left New York, but acquaintances
did not expect him to come here.
North Carolina Alone.
North Carolina stood practically
alone as a unit from the South against
the two-thirds rule. Arkansas and
Louisiana were split, and some aid
for the dissenters came from Mas
sachusetts and Indiana.
The foes of the rule expressed con-
fidence they had more than the 551
votes-a plain majority-by which the
tradition could be scrapped.

In 1he Sir Walter Hotel,
4, ~

Raleigh, June 25.-The campaign
for the Democratic nomination for
lieutenant governor in the second pri-
mary July is attracting almost as
much attention now as the campaign
for governor, many observers here
agree. The reason for this is that
there is believed to be a very definite
and close hook-up between the two
campaigns and because in many ways
the lieutenant governor has more pow
err and more influence over legislation
than does the governor.
The candidates for lieutenant gov
ernor in the second primary are w. P.

and Paul d. Grady, of Kenly, john
