A Washington Minneapolis dispatch notes three national conventions in June and one on July 4 with speculation on nominees. The piece predicts heated campaigning and editorial battles, party loyalties, and strong opinions from foes of the president. It argues the coming election will not alter the outcome this fall and that Harrison or Blaine will suffice for voters.
