Looking at the matter internationally,
if would appear that the wisest and
smartest move for state Republicans to
make would be to urge for the unin-
structed delegation. These delegations
could go for whomever they pleased,
whether it be LandOn or the most likely
last minute dark horse. Then if Mr..
Hearst wants to climb aboard the band
wagon, all we'll and good, but to vote
for Landon now would not be unlike
voting for Hearst himself.

 AlcOrn On Committee
 Connecticut is represented on the rules committee by States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn of Hartford, g. o. D. candidate for governor two years ago. Attorney Alcorn refrained from taking part in the discussion.
 Despite the fact that many other candidates for the vice-presidency have come to notice, Connecticut's delegation was still reported today as being behind Congressman James W. Wadsworth of New York for the post.

Styles Bridges, governor of New Hampshire; former Senator Walter Edge nf New Jersey, Sen. Daniel Hastings of Delaware, J. Leonard Replogle, the "steel" man, and Col. Arthur Little of New York.
 The drive of some republicans for 8 coalition ticket seemed to have collapsed entirely. These republicans had wanted to give the second place to prominent conservative demo- cratic, such as Newton Baker, Pres- ident Wilson's secretary of war, or Lewis Douglas, President Roosevelt's s former director of the budget, hop ing thereby to attract anti-New Deal democrats.
 Behind Bridges
 Cleveland, June l0.-(UP)-Young republicans rallied today behind 38- year-old Gov. H. Styles Bridges of New Hampshire for the republican nomination for vice president.
 A group of leaders of the associa- . ton of Young Republican clubs de- finitely launched thes movement aft- CT conference.
 They classed the youthful governor as another Landon"-a man who could help carry the party to victory in the November election.
 Representatives of Young Repub- lican clubs from the far west, mid- dle west, east and Rocky Mountain regions attended the conference and decided to support Bridges for the nomination.
 The leaders, while refusing to specifically name states which they claimed would support Bridges, an- nounced that "one Rocky Mountain state" was prepared to vote unani- mously for him on the first ballot.
 Call It Winning Ticket
 "Landon and Bridges would con. stitute a winning ticket" George Sibley, national representative of the Association of New York State Republican Clubs, said. .
 Sibley said Bridges paralleled Gov. Ali M. Landon, of Kansas the lead ing candidate for the presidential nomination, in humble birth, and that he ran ahead of his party's ticket in the recent New Hampshire elections.
 Asked whether the Young Repub- licans had approached the Landon forces Sibley replied:
 Informal representations have been made to the Landon forces. Naturally they wouldn't be expected to express any preferences but un- official favor for his candidacy ap- peared on the surface.

 His address is amplificd c hun drcd times and a hundred times again. It is 50 loud 1t sends the applause meter juggling in shower of electric fire. The engineers work over is silently, frantically, fearful 1t may injure the man, whose voice actuates it.
 Steiwer Begins to Wilt
 As two enormous clocks on the wall tick away the minutes, the bak- ing heat from the searchlightS goes to work on Steiwer. His collar melts like an ice cream cone. Per- spiration beads his face, drips from the tip of his nose and lands, plop, on his manuscript.
 More moisture trickles in rivuletS down his checks. He shakes his head for emphasis as he talks grave ly, earnestly. A faint spray showers down on the press box at his feet.
 Steiwer teeters on his toes and grasps the dais as he shouts his condemnation of the Roosevelt ad- ministration. Cigaret smoke sw.rlS around his head. The brilliant light filters through his bushy eyebrows and forces him to squint.
 Amplifiers Go Dead
 
 He reaches the high point of his address. The aplause is riotous. The thermometer is fluctuating like Q thing possessed. There is Q faint click. Tho mighty arnpliflers go as dead as 50 many 1920 radio sets and the senator's speech is left hang ing in nidair--i1 the middle of a sentence. Stunned, he turns to the meek little engineer, sitting on a stool behind him. He wants the engineer to repair the damage. I'm trying" says the little fellow. The bandmaster, spying something eamiss in the distance, strikes up a tune. featured by a musical saw, which walls like a banshee.
 Band Wouldn't Stop
 After minutes which seem like hours to Steiwer, the technicians patch the amplifiers. The senator starts to resume his speech, but the band, aided by the horns overhead, is playing louder than 1t ever has before-and it won't stopl Chair man Henry P. Fletcher. clad in c linen suit which is pitched neatly on the seat of the trousers, rushcs to the rescue. He pushes the but ton which signals the band leader. He pushes and he pushes--and he pushes. Nothing happens. The band keeps on ooIn-pah-pah. Tn desperation Fletcher tries to wig wag the mt sicians to quit. He looks something like an army signal man; something like Q deaf-mute. The band finally catches on. Again Steiwer resumes his address.
 Went Haywire Again
 A minute more and the applause meter goes completely haywire. Everybody looks at 1t but steiwer, who continues to talk. Hardly does this happen before the biggest of the spotlights starts winking, like Q Christmas tree. This attenuation of night and day at half second i1- tervals nearly blinds him, but he talks oia-only to be interrupted by the crash of a flashlight bulb. drop ped by g careless photographer. Eventually the experts get ell the machinery to working again, but by then Steiwer has finished his speech. He receives the plaudits Of the crowd, a weary, wilted man, the first republican victim of science.
