DAVIS. ers, who in May expressed them- E as favoring elimination of the aules that served to tie up the 1924 eonvention. The first move to abolish the two- | ak rule was made by Clyde Her- | X lowa national committeeman, a | A 00 supporter, in a letter to Nor- | Snan B. Mack, New York national | “ommitteeman and Smith supporter . “The present system, under which | Zpproximately one-third of the dele- | fzates are in a position to veto the Swill of the other two-thirds,” sald Mr. | “Davis. “lends itsell to group control— | Zn diciation by a bloc or blocs.” | Substitute the rule of the major- | Jty and there will be a trend in all | Eroups toward amalgamation. | * “The principle we should establish | lie this: One delegate, one vote; the | “majority of votes to nominate. | L Norman E. Mack said in May that | 1l the New York Democratic natioval | icommitteemen were unqualifiedly in | Javor of abolishing both two-thirds “and unit rules. Senator Walsh of | Montana favored abolition of the two- | thirds rule, but not the unit rule. Eastern members of the national | committee believe that entrance of | Mr. Davis into the fight will have an important effect in_several States where the position of the committee- | men has Hen in doubt.
