TIHE EVEN " DEMOCRATS FAVR TWOTHRDS RULE Smith Backers Reported for Custom as Giving Strength to Race. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. The two-thirds rule will not be abol- ished by the Democratic national con- vention so far as it affects the selec; tion of candidates of the Houston con- vention, but it may be changed with Tespect to future conventions. This is the concensus among out- | standing leaders of the Democratic party who have been canvassed on the subject.
