for the convention was spirited. San

land. Indianapolis and Kansas City all
have been urging their claims, and
presenting alluring offers to the party
leaders.
The most absorbing topic on every
hand was whether President Wilson I
will lie a third term candiaate, ana u
he is not, whether he will Indicate
his choice among the many who are
being discussed. It Is considered cer
tain that the President will make his
position plain on the third team ques
tion before the convention is held.
That he will not again be a candidate
was also the belief of most of the
leaders. They expect him to keep his
hands off. and to have m( port in
selecting the nominee.
