The number noceaaary to Hemlnate

will not be fully made up until tbe
day before the convention meata, for

number approximately 300.
Uulnstrueted delegates which will
sway the convention, will take order
from the republican boases. The In
structed delegates, however, In many
cases will be prepared to leave their
"favorite son" candidate and go to
the prospective winner on the third
or fourth ballot.
In-ti ucdsl Delegations
Candidates who have delegates In
structed for them are Cummiua (.Min

These figures are no indication of
how tbe votes will fall on the first
ballot.' The favorite eon candidates
will get, lu many rases, many more

many caaes tbe Instruction do net

There will he a strong undercur

of votea on the first ballot. Thla does
