" THICAGO NANED FOR 6. 0. P, CONVENTION Republican P_re~sid—eat—ial Fight to be Waged on Few Plain Principles ‘Washington, Dec. 15.—Chicago was selected by the republican national Ccommittee last night as the meeting place of the 1916 republican national convention to be held June 7, one ‘week before the democratic conven- tlon in St Louis. The vote stood: Chicago, 31; San Francisco, 13; St. Louis, 7; Philadelphia, 2. Earlier in the day the committee had determined upon the convention date, a much discussed problem with sentiment for and against meeting be- fore the democrats particularly evenly divided. The decision was reached without a roll call and some said a record vote might have brought a dif- ferent result. Should Blaze Trail. Advocates of an early convention date argued that now was the time for t'hc republican party to take the offensive against its political enemies without regard to the ancient cus- toms of allowsig the party in power to meet first and announce its can- didates and principles. Tt was urged that the party should not consider a defensive campaign, but should blaze the trail and give its story to the country first without waiting to see what the democrats intended to do. Technical objection raised to an carly date by representatives. of West Virginia and South Dakota, where primaries to elect convention dele- gates are held June 6, was swept away by ad_opnon of a resolution which will permit placing the names of the can- didates from these states on the tem- <porary roll of the convention with the agreement that certification by telegraph from the proper state au- ' for a fine complexion you must do something more than use cosmetics.

The fight for the convention proved to be more one-sided than friends of the cities which lost had believed it would be. The fact that the democrats meéet in St. Louis June 14, and that many thousands who will attend have made reservations at the hotels there for several days ahead, undoubtedly had its influence against St. Louis af- ter the committee had decided upon June 7 as the date. San Francisco made a strong showing, but the com- The Reliable Credit Clothing Store The holidays are upon us, with them the usual vexatious problem: ‘“What shall 1 give.”” Most people need clothing them- selves—and go without to give to others; this isn’t necessary.

It would have made no difference for Chicago had a majority over all. Represextative J. Hampton Moore made the principal argument for Philadelphia; Henry R. Rathbone and Mayor Thompson for Chicagos Representative Julius Kahn @r San Francisco, and ex-Mayor C. P. Wal- bridge for St. Louis. After the vote was taken the contest apparently was forgotten and all sides went to work on campaign plans. Every one of the four cities had its check ready and before the ballot was taken Chairman Hilles held paper worth $400,000. All was returned except the $100,000 from Chicago. No Action on Candidates. ‘The committee officially took no cognizance of candidates, although the lobby of the hotel where the meetings were held was pretly well filled with republicans who have been mentioned as presidential possibilities and their supporters. About 600 of the 985 delegates to the convention are to be chosen at primaries, and by the time most of these elections are | eld the leaders expect to have a ! good line on what the different states | think of candidates. | The republican fight, the gossip ! went yesterday, will be waged on 2 i few plain principles; defense of | American vommerce and {industry {erd defense of = American lives.

Temporary Chairman. One of the last things done by the committee yesterday was the selec- tion of a committee on arrangements, which will select a temporary chair- man of the convention and name some of its important temporary com- mittees. Chairman Hilles is ahead of the arrangements committee and the other members are Ralph E. Williams of Oregon, Franklin Murphy of New Jersey, E. C. Duncan of North Caro- lina, Fred W. E. Stabrook of New Hampshire, Fred Stanley of Kansas, Charles B. Warren of Michigan, Alvah H. Martin of Virginia, James P. Good- rich of Indiana, Thomas K. Neidring- baus of St. Louis and John T. Adams of Towa. This committee will meet either in New York or Chicago in a few days to lay out its preliminary plans and is expected to have many meetings before June. bad heard no serious suggestions for temporary chairman of the conven- tion, but that there seemed to be see whether the winter does not develop some Ttepublican orator in Congress who can properly sound the keynote, Opposed to Proxies.

Will Meet in Coliseum, Chicago, Dec. 14.—More national political conventions have been held in the Chicago Coliseum, where the republican national convention will be held next year, than any other building in the United States. Three rcpublican national conventions have been held within its walls and it was there that the progressive party se- lected its first national ticket. ‘When arranged for convention pur- roses the building’s maximum seat- ing capacity is 11,640. ' GOVERNMENT AID. Planned for the Canadian Pacific Coast Lumber Industry. ‘Washington, Dec. 15.—Government aid for the Canadian Pacific coast lumber industry is planned in a bill to be introduced in the next British Columbian parliament providing for construction of a great fleet of lumber carrying ships. The bill will have government support, according to a report reaching the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce today- The meaasure would provide a bond issue for building twenty vessels of more than two thousand tons each, capable of carrying two million feet | of lumber each. Such a fleet would more than triple export facilities for Canadian Pacific lumber men. WOMAN’S CLUB OPEN MEETING. Thursday night at the Baptist church, the Woman’s' Club will give an opening meeting when Dr. Edward A. Steiner of Iowa university, a bril- lisnt author and lecturer, will talk on “Slavic Characteristics.”” Dr. Steiner, himself foreign born, is per- haps the greatest living authority . on the emigration question and pos- sesses the spirit of understanding the foreign people who have come to make their home © America.
