"The Hoover people, like the
man who' believed in 'killinu
the cat the first niffht,' intend
to find out about that 'Cool
idge draft and tidal wave' at
the beginning of the conven
tion. "The plan is to put President
CoolidRe in nomination on the
first ballot, and find out at the
start how President CoolidRc:
feels about it, and how the Re-
publican convention feels about

John D. Ilockefcller, Jr.,
gives 250,000 francs to repair
magnificent windows in the
Cathedral of Chartres.
Preserving such beauty for
nil time and all races is a noble
and, sensible idea, better than
Sollecting for private posses
sion. Last summer on the broad
terrace back of the palace of
, Versailles, in bright moonlight,
'this writer saw that the heavy
stones of the balustrade were
fastened together by new
clamps of copper.
John D. Rocli r--!li Jr., put
I Ihera there, and he put the new
; copper roof on the old palace,
; spending millions to preserve
that which could never be rc
.JTOlnced. That's a fcootl way
to uso money.

Mrs. MedUl McCormick is
expected to be the Kansas City

Mrs. McCormick should remem

Chang Tso-Lin fled from Pek

predicted things that convinced 1

The Mongolians like magic

one of them nearly 700 years

When Parmcntier took pirtatoes

Ah matters stand tonight, some
sixty hours before Tuesday's open
ing convention session. Hoover is
so near lo being nominated that
the alliance ngai! !n 1r giving
a very good Imnutiun of a be-
leagcored but desperately deter-1
mined battalion of stalwarts, try-1
Jng to rally at the last ditch, j
Hut there is one element of the j
battle that ma ken definite pre- j
dictions .untenable, that is the j
riddle of Coolidge. i
Despite all he has said, a con- 1
siderahle "block of votes will be j
cast for the president on the first!
ballot unless in the meantime he
or some trusted spokesman says
something more. Kurthermore.
if u real prospect of his renomln
ation develops, the Hoover mana
gers will be the last to stand In
hiH way. Their whole strntegetlc
phi n J has- rested on the primary
understanding that under no cur
cu instances must Hoover be pit
ted against C'oolidge. j
Whether Mr. Coolidge will speak
"the word that can dispel thtsj
yumlemont no one . in - Kaiw
city seems to know. Some of j
tils hest friends belinve lie will. ;
Home think he will send the lorn?;
awaited message to his secretary, j
Kverett Sanders, who arrives Mon-j
day j
Some believe he already has J
given his finnl counsel to Secretary
Mellon who likewise is to reah
Kfthsas City on the eve of the
convention with the unpledged
Pennsylvania delegation of
which can either give Hoover
the boost his managers hope wilt
nut him over, or con swell the
Coolidge movement to real pro
portions. There is no dispute whether
the Keystone state delegnt:on.
Jurgest in the convention has be- i
come in fact the keystone of the
convention. The quiet, almost
bashful treasury secretary has be-!
come in eight years of national
prominence a patriarch among :
the patriarchs for whose voice !
the convention hesitates. For. I
correctly, or not, pro-Hoover and
nntt-Honver lenders have come to ;
believe. that Mellnn's word will be j
Coolldge's word of counsel to j
Jiis party. !
No one Is more alive to the!
Iossihle consequences of Mr. Mel-j
lnvi's voice than the l.owden al-!
lianee, whose almost hourly conn-
cils of war are being exhorted by,
some of the opposition candidates!
themselves to submerge every rlv-j
airy to the end that Hoover mnyi
be stopped. Already plans are In'
the making to get the ear of the!
J'ennsylvonian ns sooiv os he comes
to town and Impress upon him1
the argument of the allies thnt 1
Hoover cannot command In No-:
vemher the normal republican;
vote in those normally republican
states that want the McNary-1
Hnugen bill.
TbuB the fight for Hoover, nl- j
though linked directly with he'
disagreement over a farm relief ,
pfank, has almost completely ,
overshadowed It. As the nrrivin
delegates detrained and put their;
jazz bands and marching club
Into action today and tonight !
along Kansas City's flag- huiig-;
streets, there w-ih only a quiet j
monotone of discussion of the
pvirty platform. Only n small undj
rather non-vocal vnngunrd of the
mirrh heralded march of the Ms

the purpose of nlisniltK their sup- i

they would lend tile proposal their j
