The century-old two-thirds rule
was dropped at the 1886 conven-
ton in philadelphia. The vote on
this history making change was
unanimous, but there was a fight
behind the scenes. The Solid South
long had cherished the two-thirds
rule for it gave the Democratic
stronghold a veto on any prospec-
tive candidate. Opposition did not
reach the convention floor, how
ever, and the convention adopted
the report of its rules committee.
For more than so years the old
rule had worried the party. In 1882
the Roosevelt forces had enough
strength to repeal it, but Mr.. Roose-
velt disapproved forcing it on the
convention at that time. He indicat-
ed he would favor changing to the
majority rule at the next conven-
ton. With no rivals for the nomi-
nation in 1886, the Roosevelt forces
obtained approval of the change.

Knew Willkie
In Indiana
33 Years Ago
(By CRAIG POTTINGER)

When the newspapers and maga-
zines a few months ago began pub
licizing Wendell Willkie. COP pres
identiaI nominee. I wondered where
had known a person bv that name.
Not until Sunday did I recall that
Republican Nominee Willkie is the
same Wendell Willkie I knew as 2
boy back in Indiana thirty some
years ago.
An old high school fraternity year
book, printed in 1907. and which I
have always considered highly
priced possession of happy boyhood
days, told the story.
WILLKIE AT Is
There, in a group picture OF the
Elwood, Indiana, chapter of Beta
Phi Sigma, of which Willkie and the
writer were members, is Wendell
Willkie at the age of Is.
That recalled meeting Wen in
1907 at a fraternity convention in
Anderson, Ind, county seat of the
county in which Willkie was born
in Elwood, and at football games
and track meets. Willkie was a
member of the Elwood High School
football team and a picture of the
team, by the way, appeared in last
Sundays Los Angeles Times.

By PHIL AULT

United Press Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, July 12-UP)-The
convention that nOminates the
Democratic party's Presidential
candidate next week will be $10,-
10000 show which will bring at
least 100000 visitors to the ma
tion's second largest city.
From every state and the terri
tories convention delegates, party
officials, semi-official visitors, and
fun-seeking tourists will pack the
hotels and the Chicago Stadium,
where the convention sessions will
be held, starting July IS.
Millions more will get their news
and thrills through one of the most
elaborate press, radio, and picture
setups ever devised.
The Democrats are meeting this
year in the same hall where they
nominated Franklin D. Roosevelt
for the first time in 1882, under
physical conditions almost identi-
cal with those eight years age.
City Spends $175,000
Chicago spent s175,ooo to get the
convention-a cash payment Of
$125, 900 plus the cost of preparing
the Stadium, printing tickets and
similar perquisites.
In return, the Association of
Commerce believes city merchants
will receive $10,o0o,Oo0 if the con-
vention runs the five days it Is
scheduled. The association believes
each visitor will spend at least $40.
There will be 1904 votes on the
Presidential roll call, but alternate
delegates and split votes in which
several men cast fractions Of one
vote will boost the delegate strength
to approximately 5000.
Oliver A. Quayle, Jr.. treasurer
of the national committee, pre-
dicted that for each delegate there
would be nine or 10 sen1i-official
visitors such as state candidates and
committee members.
The Stevens hotel is the official
convention headquarters. The ma
tional committee headed by Post
master General James A. Farley
maintains it's office in the hotel,
and the important committee meet
ings and caucuses will be held there.
Five thousand persons will be guar
tered in this hotel alone.
Visitors will be greeted by multi
tude of entertainment features OF
both daylight and after-dark var1-
etv. A committee of go citizens has
been appointed to play host, and
the "welcome" sign will be out "a
hours a day.
Seats For 10000
Twenty thousand seats are avail
able for sessions ct the Stadium,
and all of them will be occupied
by delegates, the press, and reserve
seat ticket holders. Many of the
out-of-town visitors never will see
a. minute of the convention itself
but are coming anyway to mill
around the hotel lobbies with cele-
brites, see the bright spots, and
watch the parade.
Picturesque Michigan Boulevard
overlooking Lake Michigan and the
city's skyscraper skyline will be
packed with color and noise as CO..
10y bands, drum and bugle corn'
and other whcopee-mekers parad"
in front of the hotels. Traffic viii
be rerouted part of the time.
One feature CT most past conven-
tons may be missinn, however.

intentions toward a third term may
eliminate the familiaT. Presidential

ing cast are beef cattle, sheep,
hogs, and horses. But "Bossy"
gets all the fat lines-and that's no
joke, as farmers will observe when
they see the picture at one of their
farm meetings.
The picture tells the story of pas
ture improvement which today is
making its way into the front rank
of up-to-date profitable farming
practices. Despite the fact that
pasture is the cheapest feed that
can be grown for any kind of live
stock, pasture improvement is just
beginning to receive the serious at
tention it deserves" said R. H.
Lush, Pasture Specialist, The Ma
tional Fertilizer Association and
co-director of "Green Acres" at
is a crop that responds to plant
food, lime, and good management.
Results of hundreds of experiments
and demonstrations conducted by
State Experiment Stations have
spotlighted it's value to every
farmer"
Every well-fed cow" said Mr..
Lush, "eats the equivalent of 100
pounds of grass a day. The cost
of producing 100 pounds of digesti-
BILE nutrients from oats is S2.02;
from corn silage $1.54; from corn
grain $1.38, while pasture produces
this amount for S.64."
The results of 81 experiments
also showed that the cost of pro-
ducing 100 pounds of beef on un-
improved unfertilized pasture was
$4.05, while the cost on fertilized
pasture was only S271. The same
experiments showed that unferti-
lized pasture produced only 12.6
cans of milk per acre, while the
treated pasture made Al cans.
Results of Z years experiments
at Tifton, Georgia, show unim-
proved pastures produced only 65
pounds of beef cattle per acre,
while carpet grass and legume pas
lures fertilized produced 291 pounds
of beef per acre.
