Taft delegates will stick to the Ohio
Senator through thick and thin,
while it way be expected that Dewey
delegates, after vote or two, will
shift their allegiance. Undoubtedly
it is true that there is a number
of delegates firmly loyal to Taft
on the one hand and to Dewey on
the other. But that Taft delegates
will, on the whole. stand on burn
ing deck longer than will the Dewey
delegates is merely claim. Fur
ther, delegates as q rule like to be
with a wilfner, and will 60 to the
man they believe is on his way to
victory. $50 30. l
Depends On Holdout .s,o
Much will depend, therefore. on
the showing made by Dewey, Taft
and Stassen on the first two or
three ballots. And more will depend
upon whether the delegates, who
vote on the first ballot for the IA
vorite-son candidates, break quickly
or continue to hold out. Three
States that will bear watching are
Illinois, with Sc delegates; Penn
sylvania. with 73, and Indiana, with
%, all committed so far to favorite-
son candidates. Others are New
Jersey, with IS delegates; Massa-
chusetts, with IS; Michigan, with
Al; California, with So, and Con-
necticut, with 19.
Gov. Duff of Pennsylvania would
like very much to be the Warwick
of this convention. He does not like
Dewey-or didn't up to the present.
He may have a difficult time hold
ing the big Pennsylvania delegation
in line. for there has been bitter
feuding. Neither Senator Martin of
Pennsylvania-a former Governor
and the States favorite son candi-
date nor former Senator Joe
Grundy take kindly to Duff's dicta-
ton. Indeed. 1t has been estimated
that Duff can control actually no
more than 40 per cent of the dele
cation. Duff has been favorable to
Vandenberg, and it is rumored that
If he cannot have the Michigan
Senator he will turn to Speaker Joe
Martin of the House. Duff clearly

supporters OF Mr.. Costello say,
which was not unlike Tammany
Hall.
Mr.. Costello and, indeed, ma
jority of his cabinet, are neither
consciously nor subconsciously anti
British. Unfortunately, the new
Irish government finds itself in a
peculiar position. The opposition,
defeated at the polls, and still losing
ground in the country, is constantly
trying to discredit Mr.. Costello :
government by the accusation that
it is pro-British. Mr.. Costello be-
longs to Mr.. Cosgrave's party, Mr.
Cosgrave wished to abide by the
terms of the 1921 treaty-there
fore Mr.. Costello Is about to sell
the Irish down the river for the
benefit of the British. Since the
election, Mr.. de Valera has beer

but it can only be assumed that
the party line has his approval
The danger is that, in order tc
defend itself, the Costello govern.
ment may be forced to raise consti.
tutional issues which even Mr.. de
Valera was content to leave alone
Few of the old excuses for disagree
ment remain, except the explosive
one of partition, = problem which
is not in Britain's power to solve
on her own. There are only one
or two unimportant points-for in
stance, the right Of the King to
sign Irish passports. II Mr.. Cos
tello is forced on to the defensive
this is one of the issues he may be
expected to raise with Britain. The
irony of the situation is that a
government anxious to increase
trade between the two countries,
with q much wider horizon than
its predecessor, may be the one to
sever the last flimsy links with the
British crown.

An extraordinary change has
come over Fire in the last three
months. When Eamon de Valera
resigned after the last general elec-
tion and was succeeded by a coali-
ton under Premier Costello, few
people were optimistic enough to
believe that the new government
would last very long. Another elec-
ton seemed a matter of months,
and Mr.. De Valera was expected
to return triumphantly to power.
The opposite has happened. Mr..
Costello's government has greatly
increased it's prestige and his team
has now been welded into united
and forceful cabinet.
This is all the more remarkable
because it would be hard to find
a more diverse body of people.
Mr.. Costello himself is quiet, un-
assuming little man, with a tuft OF
graying hair curled back above the
forehead. There are much more
powerful personalities in the cab
met than Mr.. Costello. There is
James Dillon, with his large ges-
lures and sparkling mind. There
is Sean MacBride, leader of the
new Irish party-Clan ma Poblachta.
Mr.. MacBride not only has the
support of the remnants Of the old
1. r. A.. but is also suspected of
having extreme left-wing views.
When sermons were preached
against communism on the eve Of
the general election, it was as
sumed by many people that they
were partly directed against Mr..
MacBride.
Equally unexpected is to find
Labor representatives in the cabinet.
For years now the Labor Party in
Ireland has been hopelessly split
into two sections-Labor al Ma

dates for the presidential nomina-
ton was in the field-Gen. Leonard
Wood, Senator Hiram johnson OF
California and Gov. Frank o. Low
den of Illinois. After nine ballots
had been taken and none OF the
leading candidates could approach
ma jority-the convention adjourned.
In smoke filled room" that night,
the leaders picked Warren G. Hard
ing-like Garfield. an Ohio Senator,
but who had been favorite-son
candidate from the start. Harding
did not. however. have the solid sup
port of his own State delegation,
having lost some of them in pri-
mary contest to Gen. Wood. He was
nominated on the 10th ballot, break
in the second longest contest for a
Republican presidential nomination.
Took Six for Willkie
1t took eight ballots to nominate
Benjamin Harrison in 1883, seven
ballots to nominate Rutherford 3.
Hayes in 1876 and six ballots to
nominate Wendell L. Willkie in 1910.
These were the lengthiest contests
in any Republican National Conven-
ton.
Going back to the early days of
the party, Fremont, the first Repub-
lican nominee for President, was
chosen on the second ballot; Lin
coin, in 1860, was nominated on the
third ballot, although majority of
the delegates, when they arrived in
Chicago, seemed to favor Seward for
the nomination. Mckinley got his
first nomination in 1896 on the first
ballot, and so did William Howard
Taft in 1908.
Charles Evans Hughes - then an
associate Justice of the Supreme
Court-Was nominated by the Re
publican convention of 1916 on its
third ballot. His case was excep-
tional for the convention then
adjourned to ask If Hughes would
accept. Hughes, however, had led
in the balloting from the start -
with 253 votes on the first ballot
to los for John w. Weeks of Massa-
chusetts, and 103 for Elihu Root of

1920 Situation Possible
With Dewey, Taft and Stassen as
the three leading contenders in the
coming convention, each with sup
port from States other than their
own, the situation which existed at
the start of the 1920 national con.
vention. appears to be duplicated
today. 1t remains to be seen. how
ever. whether their supporters are
as rugged as were the supporters of
Wood. johnson and Lowden, or
whether some Of them will begin
to curl up and seek winner after
a ballot or two. :"
Only eight years ago Dewey, Taft
and Willkie entered the national
convention each with a considerable
following. But the Dewey following
began to vanish like the dew before
the sun after a few ballots-and
Willkie was the beneficiary.
The chances for a deadlock this
week diminished considerably after
Harold E. Stassen, who had been
making all the running previously,
took licking in debate with Gov.
Dewey of New York over the Com
munist Party and what to do about
it, and then lost to Dewey in the
Oregon presidential preferential pri-
mary. Notwithstanding Stassen
claims to the contrary. the pros
poets of the former Minnesota Gov
ernor diminished perceptibly. How
long the Stassen delegates-partic-
ularly those who are just promised
not pledged-will stick, is ma ior
question. If they start leaving
Stassen, they may very we'll 60 to
Gov. Dewey or to Senator Vanden-
berg, the candidates who most near
ly approach the Stassen position on
international and other issues. Un-
less Vandenberg has made a good
on early ballots, however,
the drift is likely to be to Dewey

the part of the Taft camp-that

strayed into politics, is accused OF
being a despot-a benevolent despot,
no doubt, but still despot. The gov
ernment has not been slow to take
advantage of this feeling. Hardly
week goes by without some min
lister producing facts which seem
to prove that the last administra-
ton was corrupt. although they are
always careful to explain that Mr..
de Valera himself was unaware OF
it. A machine had growrsup, the

Costello Rule in Fire Increases Prestige

1t is certainly true that Mr. De
Valera has lost ground even in these
last three months. He has always
argued-and he said it again at the
election-that nobody else could
form a government and many people
voted for him as the only bulwark
against chaos. And yet the impos-
sible has happened-the alternative
is in being. A government has been
formed, and not only has cut ex-

has any real desire for power.
But whatever the reason, this
topsy-turvy cabinet has settled down
and now looks as If 1t will remain
in office for a long time. Some of
Mr.. Costello's supporters even say
that just as Ireland never recalled
Mr.. Cosgrave, once he had been de-
feated, so she will never again turn
to Mr.. De Valera.

tional Labor-and all efforts to get
them together have failed. The
quiet, unassuming Mr.. Costello, be-
longing to the right-wing party OF
Fine Gael, has persuaded them to
ioin him and the lion and the lamb
now sit demurely at the cabinet
table.
Mr.. Costello had a large practice
at the Irish bar before he became
Premier. and he sometimes says that
