Byrne and his associates, Newark detectives said, were led to take a band in the whiskey raiding by the muccess of the daylight robbers.

There were three shares of Mt traded in for every share of United States Steel.

Lowden, not because he person- ; ally dislikes either candid but simply because he believes neither would win next November, Yet the ‘Wood managers claim great strength {in the Pennsylvania delegation. The fact is that a considerable proportion would be for Wood if once released from oe pledge given Gov, Sproul. B | HOLD DELEGATES, So the way to hold the seventy-six Pennsylvania delegates together as a unit—at least the way to keep them from bolting to Wood—is to dangle the prospect of Sproul as a dark horse before the eyes of both Sproul and his delegates. And Senator Pen- Tose goes so far as to issue a state- ment openly favoring the aspirations of Gov. Sproul. That move 1s another counter stroke against Wood. The Old Guard is evidently determined to {hola New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts together until Wood and Lowden are both eliminated and then trot out somebody on whom agreement can be reached, In the meantime, Hiram Johnson has executed an effective manoeuvre on his own behalf. He felt his dele- tes in certain States slipping away from bim. It was openly avowed by ‘folks from Michigan, Nebraska and Oregon that although their States voted for Johnson, the delegates wouldn't stay hitched very long. Mr. bngon now has exacteg a pledge from the Michigan delegafes who are instructed for him to continually cast |their ballots for him until he person- ily releases them, Jobnson, by the way, is his own campaign manager here, He takes vice freely, but does as he pleases bout acting on it, His game is to jbold meagre forces together while the ood and Lowden machines ‘crush each other, hoping inst hope that he will be the benefic! in the end. Also the California Senator tig- ures that if the convention supports bim on the of Nations plat- form. tight be will gain delegates. Certainly, if the treaty and League are be pare red Johnson would be the logical nominee, though. in for Vice President would be a more acceptable ticket, espocially if John~ son would accept the Vice Presidency, The desire to get harmony would transcend every other consideration. The mere fact that Johnson would agree to run with Knox would give tremendous impetus to the latter's chances, and it must not be forgotten that Senator Boies Penrose would rath. er have Knox then any other man. The writer knows that Senator Knox and Senator Johnson have been in communication on the subject and that they are still as close friends as ever. Certainly if Mr. Johnson is con- vinced that he can’t be nominated, he would probably feel that view- point had bee& vindicated in the seleo- tion of another Senator like Mr. Knox whose views on the treaty and were in acoord with his own. Big Business would rather have Knox, former Attorney General and former Secretary of State, than Hiram Johnson, and if the California Senator gave his assent to the chnive of Knox, he would be assured the support of the Republican organiza. tion for the Presidency four years hence, These are some of the moves, proposals, suggestions and attack that constitute the strategy of the convention as the Platform Committee | wrangles over perplexing planks and ‘ssues. —_—__— LIBPRTY BONDS.
