Development of the revolution as re
ported to the government has been so
rapid as to convince many ofllclals, and
especially army officers, that Carranza
cannot maintnln his authority much
longer, not so much because he Is opposed
by a formidable military force as because
he commands an army that is dally dis
solving before the rebels' advance Instead
of offering battle.
Information obtained through offlnlal
channels has been the bals of an estl

which will meet at Chicago May 10.
No contest over the chairmanship is
anticipated, although somo friends of

urging consideration of Senator Borah
of Idaho and reports have reached
here that former Senator Bevoridge
of Indiana also aspired to the chair
manship. Republican platform pronouncements
will bo considered here May 23 by tho
