STAGE BEING SET
The stage is being set for the big
Democ’nitic c^vSSfioh next June in
Philadelphia. P^ident Roosevelt and
Vice President Garner are expected to
be re-nominated by virtually a unani
mous vote, the opinion being general
that in recent weeks the tide of popu
larity for the president has been
growing stronger. It is also expected
that a platform will be drafted in line
with^he administration’s record and
wishes.
The Republicans on the other side,
are, not well organized, but diN’ided
and badly torn.
