! r V-J" ,f Ity FRANK JKNKINH , Aa I til down to write -this lull, thara'e an earthquake In Cal ifornia and a political convention In Chicago, Both can be destruc tive, but ai between tha two there Is thla difference: You can DO SOMETHING about political convention,, but Ihere'a nothing you can do about an earth quaka. You Jual TAKE H. Bo lat a talk about tha conven tion, .... Thla Democratic convention la at laat different, Ilia last randldate total I heard thU morning aa 33. That'a a lot of hopefuls. For lour Democratic conventions In a row mi. 1M0, 1B44 and lts there hM been only one candidate and the Job ( the convention haa been to put Ita rub ber stamp on the esndldale el , rcadv choirn. Thal'i Wirt a difference. There la an Inlrrentlng nirkul In the Oreuon delegation In Chicago. Under Oregon primary law. Ore don's delesalea are pledged to back Kelauvrr as lona as. he1 has a REASONABLE chance of Win ulna the nomination. (Ma waa a heavy winner In the Oreuon Demo cratic primary.) But there am rumora (no far without flat confirmation! that tile dalrtatea are divided and some of ( litem art wavering In their all lance to Knfauvar and their In mictions under the Oreaon pri mary law Kill Jossltn. of Portland, la SINCERELY for Kefauver. At the moment, at least, Tom Maho easy of Portland Is for Kalauver. Monroe Bweetland. O r e f o n'a JVmooratle national eommltt" nian, tells a reporter this mom ma: that "no far I know every member of the Oregon deleiratlon Intends to support Kefauver as lone as he Is In the running." but adds: "I don't want our already small number of delegates to be further diminished In Importance bv mort gaging It lo an unforeseeable fu ture." i Delegate Harry- Bolvln. of Klam ath rails, appears to- be of aome hat the same mind. At least, one gathare that much from the Chi cago dispatches ' Jutt between vou and me, I'd hale to be an Oregon delegate who bolted Kefauver while he ailll had a chance, however slim, to be nom inated. There wasn't, of course, a very wide choice among candidates In the Oregon Democratic primary, but I think most of those who vot ed for tha charming young man from Tennessee (ably abetted br his charming red-headed wife) did ao because they have rAITH Ip him. ' I think all auch people want their Initructlona. ai liven In the pri mary voilna. lo be followed by their delegates In Ohlcaf o, , . . Politics la funny. ' I'm a Republican more etron- lv so thla vear than for many years In the past. I have faith In Ike. nd 1 want him to win. I think Kefauver would be the hardest Democrat to beat, Still.
