[ EARLY DATE MEETS WITH FAVOR | (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Deec. 15.—(Spe-| cial Telegram.)—At Chicago on or | about June 7, 1916, the next presi- | dent of the United States will be | nominated. That is the consensus of | last night among hundreds | of republicans here assembled from | all parts of the nation in attendance upon the meeting of the national re- publican committee. Monday it looked as if St. Louls had a show for the republican con- vention, but between midnight and the hour of convening of the national committe, Chicago was easily selected as the winner. It was thought it| would take two ballots to decide, but | so cleverly had the work been done that when the vote was taken Chi- cago won on the first ballot, leaving a lot of Chicago friends out on the limbs, but that's polities, In selecting June 7, a week before the democrats meet in St. Louls, astute poli- | tics was played. Only once since Lin- coln's time have the democrats preceded the republicans in a national convention and that was In the first Cleveland ad- ministration. Even though It might inter- fere with presidential primaries in South Dakota and West Virginla, it was the almost unanimous opinion of the national rommitteemen that the republican con- vention should be held before the demo- cratic convention and upon that proposi- tion the committee proceeded. opinion Provides for South Dakota. Ex-Congressman Burke of South Dakota, national committeeman from that state reallzing that the primaries in his following resolution which was unani- mously adopted: “Whereas, delegates to the national convention in the states of South Dakota and West Virginia, under the laws of state would be held on June 6, offered the these states, will be elected on June 6 in the year 1916, and, ““Whereas there may not be time to | provide certificates of election to dele- gates elected as provided by the law of #aid states; therefore be it “Resolved, That the delegates in the states of South Dakota and West Vir- ginia, respectively, shall be entitled to have thelr names placed upon the tem- porary roll call of the convention by filing with the secretary of this com- mittee a certificate from the chairman of the republican state committee; in the case of South Dakota and in the case of West Virvinia, from either the secre- tary of state or the chairman of the republican state committee, provided no notice of contest be filed.” In Interest of Harmony ‘‘The resolution is one in the interest of harmony,” said Mr. Burke in explana- tion. ""Nobody wants two primaries in our state, and I belleve a gentleman's agree- ment as to the delegates to be melected will preclude the necessity of two pri- maries. A primary in our state costs $100,000, and I feel mire no one in South Dakota wants to saddle such a charge upon the state. “If the factiops of the republican party can agree ‘upon the delegates it will be clear sledding and we will be in Chicago | to help make the next president. If dis- sension ensues, then tne responsibility must rest where it belongs.” In Homor of Thorsen | The following resolution was adopted | by the national committee n relation to the death of Thomas Thorson, late a member from South Dakota: “Resolved, that we have learned with deep regret of the death of Hon. Thomaa Thorson, for many years aa honored member of this committee, which oc- curred at his home in Canton, 8.-D. on August %0, 1915, “Resolved, that we express our pro- found sorrow and extend our sincere sympathy to his widow and surviving relatives; be it further ‘‘Resolved, that these resolutions be extended upon the permanent minutes of the committea. and that the secretary be directed to communicate a copy to Mrs, Thorson.” Howell for Chicago Committeeman R. B. Howell of Ne- braska voted for Chicago on the only ballot taken, as did Charles H. Burke of Bouth Dakota and John T. Adams of lowa, national committeemen from those states. Mr. Howell will return to Omaha tomorrow. 12,000 years physicians LECTURED LAST EVENING ON IRELAND IN SONG. Counci] of Chicago Medical Society Votes Physician of Bollinger Baby Fame Be Expelled. HE WROTE ABOUT THE CASE CHICAGO, Dec. 16—The council | of the Chicago Medical society, in a finding made public tonight, recom- mended to the society that Dr. H, J. Haiselden of Bollinger baby fame be expelled from the soclety, The Bollinger baby was born, in the opinion of Dr. Haiselden, with every prospect, if the life in it per- sisted, of developing into & hopeless invalid and imbecile. An operation might have saved its 1ife, but the parents agreed with the formed and the infant was allowed to die. This, however, was not the charge brought against the doctor. A series of articles' under his name, dealing with this case and the subject of eugenics generally, appeared after the demise of the baby, and for these he was charged with unethical con- duct and found guilty. The sessions of the council were executive, but Dr. Haiselden is said to have set up the defense that for have sub- scribed to a policy of secrecy on sub- Jects which ought to be published for the enlightenment of the public. Women Against And for Suffrage See Country's Chief the woman suffrage question were presented today to President Wilson. A thanked him for his announced opposition to a federal constitutional amendment en- franchising women, and delegates to the annual meeting of the National American Woman Suffrage assoclation asked him to support such an amendment and use his influence to have it endorsed in the next platform of the democratic party. The presidgnt did not commit himself further on the question. He said nothing to the women opposed to suffrage, To the suffragists he explained that he had already under consideration a request that he change his original position in opposition to a federal amendment. More than 1,00 women shook hands with the president. Permission to address the house wi denled to Mias France Jollize of Cali- fornia and Mrs. Sara Bard Field of Oregon, who recently drove a motor car here from the Pacific coast with a huge suffrage petition for a constitutional amendment.
