Of Mussolinismo-a term implying disapproval of Fascism and approval of Benito-the Premier said: "I can understand such a phenomenon, but I do not accept it. Certain people use my name to fight Fascismo. I warn them not to persist, because they might find that they have done it once too often. ... I am pictured as being surrounded by barbed wire nettings.

It follows, if that is true, that he cannot get the nomination, for which a two-thirds vote is necessary. Nevertheless, supporters of McAdoo are not downhearted. Recently Samuel B. Amidon, Democratic National Committeeman, sailed for Europe...
