J- Al len of Kansas had been elected to make the principal nominating speech for General Wood and It haa been announc ed that George II. Walker of Seattle bad been chosen to perform a similar office for Senator Milei Poindexter of Washington. One of tho problems which confront the national committee Is the reducing of oversixed delegations to a size which will permit of their being seated in the space reserved for delegates. According to Secretary Miller, a ma Jorlty of these cases resulted from at tempts to harmonise factions In var ious states, and when the delegations were asked to cut down their member ship to conform to the convention call, the same old problems bobbed up again. Undiminished confidence was reflect ed in the announcement, from the Low den. Wood and Johnson managers. The Hoover headquarters took on added activity with the arrival of a large force of workera from New York.
