TwO'Thirds Rule
Still Holds Firm
Former Attempts To Abolish It

Roosevelt Forces.
Chicagro, June 21.—Democrats cen
tered their attention on the rapidly-
moving presidential contests tonight
as party leaders accepted a prohibi
tion repeal plank as certain.
Washington, June 18.—The funny
old two-thirds rule may be the issue
in a hot fight once again at the
Democratic national convention.
If it is ev^r definitely busted by
a convention it probably will be dead
for all time. But attempts to get rid
Statements in
behalf of several of it have been made off and on
presidential candidates sprang up
during the day w'hile workers of Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York
emphatically reiterated claims of his
first ballot nomination.
Alfred E. Smith and William G.
McAdoo ‘ departed from opposite
shores of the nation to open their
fight tomorrow’ in opposition to
Roosevelt. It became increasingly
clear the first showdown to be sought
by the anti-Roosevelt faction will be
the election of Jouett Shouse as per
manent chairman of the convention.

I^niocratic national committee de-
ilareii upon his arrival that the Roose
velt men had showed bad faith in ad
vancing Senator Walsh of Montana
for the post after the committee on
arrangement.s had cotnmende<l Shouse.

by Speaker Garner, who is supported
by McAdoo for president, in favor
of repeal of the eighteenth amend

the anti-Roosevelt state leaders and
stubborn favorite sons. ,
The idea is that although it re
quires a two-thirds vote to nomi
nate the party candidate,/ a ma
jority vote can abrogate the thing.
Because the rule is embedded so
deeply in party procedure- and be
cause all Democratic candidates
have been nominated unde*^ it, any
open declaration for abolishing it
at thiii time would be regarded as
a confession of weakness by the
Roosevelt leaders.
Actually, they hope to forie their
way across the line by the sheer
weight of the majority which they
anticipate on the first ballot.
The attempt to end the rule would
be only a measure of desperation de
