In Indiana the whole field of can dldates was drawn In. so that no in dividual, could get the necessary ma - jorlty of votes for an instructed deie- gatlon, thereby leaving the 30 delegates unlnstructed and at the disposal- of Senator Watson, one of the old guard leaders. In Pennsylvania, Governor Sproul IS left a clear field by all the other candidates for professional poll- tlcal reasons, and he will have the 76 1 deleaatea at Chicago. In Vermont It is I nnf nu.lv that thftra win ha nv enntes Thus there are only three more states In which the "common people" will have are Important say. And these are very Important contests.
