' Above all the din and clamor of

league and anti-league ructions at
tending the early days of the Demo

steady, constant call comes from
delegates representing the great
agricultural states for a pint form

fidence and support of the men
who produce bread and' butter that
the nation may eat.

an increasing body of delegates are
wondering how these can be hand

that the hope of tho Democrats in
the coming1 campaign admittedly
rests.
In this situation pending the
breakdown of the TVicAdoo-Fmith
deadlock, delegates are turning
more and more to a consideration
of what candidates can satisfy this
need. .
