But the party is going to present the country with the kind of man who already has prestige and large following. arter carefully determining which candidate has the best chance . to win, For that reason there will be less wire pulling than the electorate has been led to expect at national con- ventlons.

There will be, no doubt, some surprisee. There will be a great deal of pressure brought on some lead- ers whose position 18 not clear.cut Perhaps there will he hotel room discussions and argn ments. But there 18 no deep strata- g°m now underway to put over any particular candidate. There are act eral aspirants and each one has his forces determined to take advan- tage of the first psychological mo ment that seams to present itsels Most of the political leaders present will be working for their own best interests and the interests 'of the party will more often than not coin- cide with theirs.
