BYRD TO BATTLE
CHANGE IN RULES
Glass and Peery Also to Be
s, Members of Virginia
81. Delegation.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.


Philadelphia, determined to oppose
abrogation of the two-thirds rule.
This issue will be fought out before
the Rules Committee of the conven-
ton, for which Senator Bennett c.
Clark Of Missouri has been selected
as chairman by the party organization.
Senator Glass has been non -committal
on the subject, but is known to be
chronically opposed to the contem-
plated change, wishing, however. to
avoid a clash with the forces which
seem determined to abolish the two
thirds rule.
The issue in which the Virginia
delegation is most interested is
whether Senator Glass who has served
40 years on the Platform Committee
since 1896-will again be placed on
the Resolutions Committee He is not
supposed to be the choice Of the
administration forces in control of
the convention. Senator Glass, how
ever, is expected by the old stalwarts
of the party to have great deal to
say about several planks in the plat
form.
