the Republican parly, following the
Cleveland convention, is under hew
management. The !bcst, mlntls" of
the O. O. I', today aro not -the "best
minds" of four yearn ago, .lust as
the guiding hands of Blcs Penrose
and Murray franc woro jnisscd by
the old regime at .tho' Cleveland
convention, and as Henry Cabot
Lodge wan shunted into a position
of secondary influence.. . so is. the
whole old-time directing personnel
and maehlnery of thu party organ
ization to be ditched, so far as the
presidential campaign is concerned.
The Coolldge candidacy will be,
to a degree not equalled by that of
any recent aspirant except Hoosc
velt. a personal campaign.
Just as Roosevelt's appeal to the
people was strongly individual, giv
ing lilm a personal B'rcnglh. ex
ct'edlng that of his party, so. Cool
idge's managers believe, the appeal
of the silent, taciturn man now In
the White House outruns the
bounds of party and gives his n
strength outside of and beyond that
of the party whos ticket he heads.
In keeping with this view, the
Coolldge candidacy will be directed
by Coolldge funs. They will be Re
publicans, of course, but first of all
they will be Coolldge Republicans.
The disappearance of John T.
Admits, Oeorge Lockwond and l-'red
Vpham from pluccs of power In
1h national committee Is the first
move In clearing the way for a per

I'rcari) The tentative program of
the ' Democratic National conven
tion follows closely tho schedule
of procedure which hat prevailed
in previous national sessions of
the party. Many leaders believe
the convention will lat for ten or
11 days. '-
The first formal assembly of the
2tnu delegates and alternates ut
the main auditorium, Madison
Hiiuare Garden, will bo at noon of
Tuesday, Juno 24.
Cordell Hull of Tenuesse. chnlr
man of the 1 emocral lc national
committee, will cull the convention
to order, and a member of the
New York -City clergy will pro
nounce an invocation. Mr. Hull's
Introduction'' of the temporary
chairman, Mcuator Pat Harrison
of Mississippi, will be followed by
the senator's keynote speech.
, Mayor John K.. llylan of .New
York will deliver an address for
mally welcoming the convention to
this city, and adjournment wlll.be
taken, probably at about 3:30 p.
m.t until noon Wednesday.
The report, of the committee on
permanent organization will start
the second day of the convention,
after which the committee on rulen
will report. Meanwhile; tho fcoiu
in It tee on resolutions will com
mence, Its work and start draft
ing the platform. The report of
the credentials committee will con
elude the regular business of the
Wednesday session.
With the pertiiMnent chulrman
presiding, tho convention will
open Its third duy at noon, Thurs
day with reports of the commit
tees. The platform probably will be
presented to the convention on
Friday. The nomination of candi
dates for the presidency, of whom
a scons nln-ady are in sight, will
begin late Friday or curly tfatur
duy accompanied by the tradition
al band-playing, singing and noisy
demonstrations as each candidate's
name Is put furwurd.
Thus the convention will adheri;
to a prescribed formula for. only
the first five days. If nomina
tions are not made immediately,
there will be continuous day and
night sessions, except on Sundays
and continuous balloting until a
nominee, for president and a run
