velt administration. The directors of party affairs who assem- bled in Chicago reflected the attitude of the State and national leaders. Even the Hoover followers were afraid to test their strength, although they entered the meeting with sixty of the 100 committemen present favorable to a conference next year. John D. Hamilton, Republican chairman, directing the Hoover forces behind the scenes, was averse to use his votes and his steam roller. He could have won the day for the Hoover proposal. He hesitated to do so be- cause he foresaw a prolonged fight in the committee and unhealing scars. The meeting decided to set up a program committee to make a survey of political and governmental conditions, It will report with- in the next six months and by that time, it is hoped, sentiment will be so strong for a party convention as to force the committee to call it, perhaps before the 1938 elections. Impelled by newspaper demands and those of the younger men and women in the party, the committee may act quickly and promptly ear]y next year, It was this feeling that part- 1y Influenced the Hoover group not to carry their fight to the floor. Opponents of the mid-term convention plan, led by Representative Joseph W. Mar- tin Jr, chairman of the Republican Con- gressional Committee, believe that they have effectually killed the plan for a national con- ference next year. They say that the plan cannot be successfully revived, even though the national committee is to have another chance to consider the matter, They left Chicago rejoicing. The situation at present is that the oppon- ents of the convention won at least a tem- porary victory. But Mr. Hamilton does not | believe that the convention plan is dead. Others who join him in this belief are Repre- sentative J. Will Taylor of Tennessee, Harri- son E. Spangler, committeeman from Iowa, and Colonel R. B. Creager, committeeman from Texas. S The old saying that politics makes strange bed-fellows is seen in the lineup in this strug- gle. Senator Borah, known as the “Lone Wolf of Idaho” ‘because he never joins In party movements, entered into the opposition to the convention plan. Then there was Henry P. Fletcher, former chairman of the National Committee, associ- ated with this same group. Another factor was the open and unrestrained opposition of former Governor Landon. The motives and causes of some Opposi- tion, in the opinion of impartial observers, was not founded upon the issue. Influences such as personal ambitions, personal jealousies and hatreds were operating. Daily Alaska Empire ROBERT W.

He held that, while there would be difficulty in getting agreement on a dec- laration of principles, a discussion by represen- / tatives of all factions might lead to dissolving any defeatest attitude. With other observers, Mr. Hilles finds that ~the country is asking: “Is the Republican ‘party alive?” He, therefore, believes that a S conclave such as proposed by Mr. Hoover and others would stir the workers to activity and serve notice upon the opposition party that the -Republican party is on the firing line.
