The Republican national con- vention is being held in Kansas, [City, Missouri, on June 12 and the Democratic convention at Houston, Texas on June 26.

The Republican "possibles" for presidential nomination include Messrs. Hoover, Vice-President Dawes, Frank Lowden, Governor of Illinois, Mellon Kellogg and ex- secretary of State Hughes, while many feel that President Coolidge may be forced to accept nomina- tion in the event of a Republican convention deadlock.

The Democratic "possibles" in- elude Governor Smith, of New York, Senator Reed of Missouri and Governor Ritchie of Maryland.
