- VoL LXu—NO. 140 ’:::—-———- P NATL | . Chicago, June 7.—Its old-time leaders wnhorsed and its favorites for the pres- idency deadlocked, the republican party will begin its national cunvention here tomorrow under conditions of uncertain- ty unparalleled in recent political his- tory. Unbossed and largely unorganized, the Jelegates were asking one another to- wignt In what direction they were stray- fng and when a master would arise to tead them out of the wilderness of their own indecision. In the noisy turmoil of convention eve, the only definable trend seemed to be driving Wood. Lowden and Johnson into & deadlock fight which it was recognized everywhers riight destroy them all. The old timers, reflecting that it is but a step from a deadlocked convention to a stam- peded convention, wondered what might happen next unless some tried and trusted leader settled himself securely in the saddle. Many were recalling the Chicago con- vention of 1830, when the favorites all were deserted after a deadlock of ballots and James A. Garfield, who had won the convention by 4 nominating speech, was nominated. Talk of a dark horse, in which some of the more experienced practical politi- efans joined tonight for the “first time, Began to revolve with an increasing frankness about the disclosures of the senate’s investigation of campaign ex- penditures. At many seattering conferences those who advocate a dark horse nomination predicted that in the end no man whose nsame was invelved at all in the evidence of the investigating committee could be sut before the country as the party's shoice. In the main, however, the leaders and pear-leaders caucussed 2nd conferred #nd brouzht forth nothing. Even those who held the whip hand over a few dele- gates here and there seemed umable to gét together with the other greater and leesar potential dietators of party policy. a fogzy of the pussibilities of tha next few Jt became apparent that unless there same a dramatic and unexpected change the first ballot to be taken Wednesday or Thursday will record voies for tween fifteen and twenty,‘eandidates fox the presidency, with scarcely more than half enough to nominate in the Wood, Lowden or Johnson Cagumn. To what extent the managers for the leading three can hold their delegates in ine after an unsuccessful test of strength is a subjgc‘. o controversy. There are those wHo contradict the claims of the Wood, Lowden and John- on whips that their organizations are sqhesive enough to stand the strain of a failure to nominate on an’early ballot. JIn any case, no one any longer pre- tends to be sure just what will happen after & roll call or two has passed into history. The guess of some of the vet erans is that votes will swirl and bur and scatter again like the sands of W sea. And those who hope for a et pede are counted on to turn loose every variety of spellbinding emotional, Whirl- wind. 1t is a situation which gave the bosses of other days many a good laugh in their sleeves as today's developments moved in feverish circles. Those of the sid time, out of date school who are nere at all Yemained larzely to them- selves, however, hoping for the best but shaking their heads sadly at the memory of steam rollers used and wires pulled in the times when a leader cowld be sure of his_ground. The new leaders of the party, however, including Will H. Hays, the national chairman, declared their entire satisfac- tion with the apsence of the old meth- ods. At last, sald Mr. Hays, the country was seeing what it had stridently de- manded, a convention absolutely unboss- ed and acting for itself. He predicted that the outcome would be beneficial to the standing of the party. Upwards of a dozen of those who are considered possibilities for the nomina- tion now, are on the »Wind, although most of them had said yreviously that they had no intention of coming. Sena- tor Johnson made no such announc ment, however, and when he followed the s¥ample set by Colonel Roosevelt in 1912 and opened his own convention head- quarters the other candidates decided they eould not afford to maintain any less direct touch with the big show. In the dark horse and favorite son talk today there was again mention of Sharles Evans Hughes along with Sen- ffbr Harding of Ohio; Governor Sprou) >f Pernsylvania; Governor Coolidge of Massachuset's and others. Of all the avallables Senator Harding has about Wim the greatest number of experienced ##n in national polities, Who would be ready to take advantage of any move hat might benefit him. In its session tomorrow the convention & expected to do no more than effect a lemporary organization, listen to Sena- tor Lodge's keynote speech as temporary shairman. appoint the routine commit- mes and then adjourn to permit commit- tee work. Some of the leaders thought that i the temporary officers were made permanent, thus shortening the first day proceedings, balloting for the presiden- tigl nomines might begin late Wednes- day. The general belief, however, was that the first roll call was far more likely to come Thursday. JOHNSON'S ARGUMENT FOR HIS OWN NOMINATION Chicago. June 7.—8enator Hiram John- son put forward tonight the argument in ‘mvor of his own nomination for presi- lent by the republican national conven- tion. Before a great mass meeting, attended by many delegates, he pleaded for what ¥e called “a head-up, Ves open” party stand, from attempts to. ‘“hide in the whadow of privilege.” Defining two big issues, Senator Johndon declared the first was the high cost of Jiving, to be coped with not wholly by néw law but by un- shrinking “administration of the present 1aw.” The second issue, international, he sovered flatly with the declaration: “I am opposed to the present covenant of the league of nations,” emphasizing his op- @esitien to the league plan of the Ver- be- !

Reion, San _sotohiod “Against it the republican party must| take its stand,” he declared. “There can be no hiding or skulking upon an issue of this magnitude. In this campaign men must march under the polyglot banner of Kuropean imperialism and internation- alism, or under the old Stars and Stripes.” Senator Johnson expressed his faith in American business men in general and the standards of American business in- tegrity and patriotism in dealing with the high cost of living, but declared that there was a ‘“very small group” in the ranks of industrial and commercial life whose practices were nefarious. These he accused of “breeding radicalism.” A new epithet, that of “radical” he asserted, had been flung at him by the kept press.” Asserting his belief in stringent application of law to those who “advocate the overthrow by force and violence of the American government,” he indicated that he welcomed attacks | from sources he described. “If it be radical to demand 100 per cent. service from phblic officials, and to insist upon justice and decency and right- eousness in government, if it be radical to preach that humanity have equal consid- eration with * property,” he said, “and finally if it be radical to be just Ameri- can, I ackept the challenge. Touching on the league of nations. on which he said hiz “whole campaign” was based, he declared : “Longingly our eyes were turned to Paris during the secret deliberations there. With the presentation of the cove- nant came our disillusionment. We found no ta-union of the free peonles of the world. but we found the perpetuation of the old imperialism. “Peoples were forgotten. Rulers re- mained supreme. Progress was precluded. Every existing injustice perpetuated. Tistead of a pact fo prevent war, we were given a league fo maintain present existing power. Instead of that which would enable humanity to expand and RrOw. to prozress and to prosper, we found humanity shackled, and the world put in a straitjacket, imposed for all the years to come. “Instead of disarmament, were increased armaments.

SPROUL HAS QUALIFIED SUPPORT OF PENNSYLVANL —_— Chicago, June 7.—“Governor Sproul is a candidate for president with the un- qualified support of the entire Pennsyl- vania delegation to the end and without any deals,” said Attorney General Schaf- fer of Pennsylvania in a statement to- night. “We are for him,” he added. “because we believe that his training, talents and capagity male him the best fitted man to be president of the United States in the great reconstruction period which is at hand. The proof of what he will do for the country if nominated and elected can be found in what he has done for Penn- sylvania.” The steering committee of ten appoint- ed by the Pennsylvania caucus under the chairman ship of W. W. Atterbury of Philadelphia today mapped out its plan of campaign. Leaders in the delegation said they expected the three leading can- didates 'to get into a deadlock and that on the break many delegates would swing over to Governor Sproul. The steering committee announced. the appointment of a committee of business men with J. Leonard Replogle as chairman to assist it. Others on this committee are G. S. Oliver, Charles M. Schwab, William E. Corey, George Wharton Pepper and T, M. Schu- macher. The Sproul men found much comfort over a speech by .Samuel M.

Group differences remained, but leaders of all factions said there were higher hopes of an entire “harmony” platform after the planks are ed and the shavings swept ouf in committee. The League of Nations plank contin- ued today to engross several groups of the voluntary platform construction corps. Another difference ioomed over labor poligies, including demands for en- dorsing anti-strike and similar legisla-| tion. Settlements of both, however, were predicted. The supreme court’s decision on prohi- bition brought forth renswed discussion of a prohibition plank. Prohibition advo-| cates were planning .0 Utje 4 Sirong er- forcement plank with a deglaration against any ‘bear and wing! amend-: ments of the Volstead law. Many party | leaders, however, are disposed to keep the platform silent on pohibitio) withi the possible exception of a strong “law enforcement” plank which coull be con- strued to cover prohibition. Both factions in the traaty dispute worked many hours today, with the hope of leaders that solution pactia'iy, if not! éntirely satisfactory to all, wouil be folind. One suggestion was addition to the Indiana plank, whizn is the ground- work of the drafting, of cruses declaring for a world tribunal for conciliation and settlement of international disputes.

Washington, June 7.—General Pershing wrote Secretary Baker today asking permission to retire from uctive service “within the next few months.” The former commander of the Amer- ican expeditionary forces declared that after the completion of workineident to the recently enalted army reorgan- ization bill his normal duties would re- quire only a portion of his time and, therefore, he wished to be “free to en- gage in something more active.” The general did not indicate the na- ture of his future activities. General Pershing assured Secretary Baker that he would remaih in the ser- vice until work involved in the carry- ing ‘out of the army reorgapization act was completed. He gave thé added as- surance that in any future crisis he would be at the call of the natiom. The general's letter to Secretary Ba- ker was made public by Colonel J. G. Quekmeyer, his aide. 1t follows: “Dear Mr. Secretary: ‘Referring to our conversation of a few days ago 1 wish to say that it has long been my desire to return to civil life. Throughout my military career 1 have been very much occunied, and the assignments that have falien to my lot during recent years have been re or less important. 3 “It now appears that my ‘duties are not likely to be of a character that will require more than a portion of my time. Under the circumstances, I feel that af; ter the completion of the work contem- plated by the army reorganization act } could relinquish military duty: without detriment to the service and thus be free to engage in something more active. “Therefore, unless a situation should develop to justify my remaining, I con- template taking the step indicated with- in the next few months. “Should the necessity of crisis or otherwise.

NATIONAL CONVENTION Chicago, June 7.—At the first republi- can national convention held in Chicago sixty years ago: An Iowa delegate walked 150 miles to get to a railroad tg come to the conven- tion. Special railroad rates were made and Chicago's population probably doubled in convention week. Hotel rooms were $1.30 to $2.50 a day. Crowds were so great that billiard ta- bles in the hotels were pressed into ser- vice as beds. The “Wigwam” in which the-convention was held was probably about the size of the nex to the Coliseum in which this year" ion takes place. The Wigwam's profuse decoration was largely furnished by the republican wom- en of Chicago. They were invited to come ‘armed and equipped h those formid- able weapons, reedles, thimbles, scissors, ete., ete.” When a special train pulled in with the Massachusetts and other New England delegates, rockets were sent up and a cannon boomed to announce their arrival to waiting friends. The gallery in the convention hall was reserved for wemen and their escorts. Décause of the great number of men un- able to get in, one man was reported trying to ge tinto the gallery with an In- dian squaw selling moccasins as his cre- dentials, but was excluded on the ground that she was no lady. The two chief nominating speeches were made in less than 30 words. Abra- ham Lincoln was placed in nomination in 26 words. The making of the presidential nomi- nation was announced to the city by the firing of a cannon placed on the roof of the convention hall. That night cannot and rockets were fired, bonfires lighied and multitudinous parades formed. their parti ing anything that would serve—even to rakes and fishing poles. “The foregoing data was obtained from [ pres the library of the Chicago Historical so- ciety, which has various relics of VANITIE DEFEATED RESOLUTE 1 NESTSYD OF TRIAL RACES June 7.—Vanitie showea marked superiority over - Reso- M4 ivday, winning the second - racy Us e series to determine the defender o! the America’s cup.
