Durect Convention Covrse in Hope of Beating Hughes BY VICTOR ROSEWATER. Chidago, June 9.—(Special Tele- gram.)—At this writing in tfie early evening the flow of the nominating oratory has not ceased. The day has been indeed interesting, yet the moves toward actual choice of stan- dard bearers have been disappoint- inly slow. . It is clear that the proceedings are being guided and governed by a steer- ing committee representing a com- bination of the favorite son candi- dates who are still depending on the joint conference committee or some word from the colonel to eliminate Hughes, and clear the way for the convention to unite on one of these favorite sons or an undisclosed dark horse. Less Chgnce for Rogsevelt. ~The general® opinign seems more settled that the possibility of Roose- velt's nomination has become less rather than greater by the day’s / events, The present program of this steering ‘ommittee 1s to take two ballots and then to adjour till tomor- row. It is very likely that the Hughes supporters feeling confident of the ultimate outcomg may not oppose this. The oratocy of the day has come up | to the usual standard of nominating speeches, but all is of the usual type as if moulded in the same form, I don’t know where the practice started, but it seems to be a tule none dare to deviate from that the speaker must describe his favorite in such a way that every one can quickly grasp hig identity, and to picture him as the sole savior of the party and of the country, but not to mention his name until the final sentence. | Speeches Meet Same Test. | All the nominating speeches today ! meet the test of this rule fully and while finished decamations hardly reached particularly high levels. The best were those of Governor Whit- man, Dr. Butler, Governor Willis and Congressman Kendall, Senator Fall's presentation of | Roosevelt was lucid and forceful, but in no sense superior to the average. With respect to the successive demcnstrati except only that following the naming of Hughes; in no way concealed their artifical and prearranged character, Any who has Schools Prepare For Close of the Year's Activities Field day exercises are being held this afternoon on the play grounds of Mason school. A class day pre- gram will be given this evening at Lothrop school, where Principal Nora H Lemon will formally take her leave of this school, as she will re- tire from school work next week, - The schools will be closed next Friday for the summer, Joint grad- uation exercises of the three public high schools will be held in the Audi- torium next Friday evening.

Coliseum, Chicagy, - June 9.—Con- gressman eKndall said in part in nominating Senator A. B. Cummins ior the nomination for the presidency: “Of all that is good Iowa affords the hest. I come to offer to the re- publican party a candidate whose nomination i June will be equivalent to election in November. “There are republicans enough in the United States for onc dominant two. We are determined to rescue a distressed country from internal dis- tress and international disgrace. Fopr 'years ago we demonstrated conclu- sively that ‘a house divided against itself carinot stand.’ That incalulable disaster’ can now be royally repaired if republicans discontinue hostilities against other republicans apd cony centrate against their ancient ad- versary, Welcome to Progressives. “With charity for all and malice towards none we welcome the pro- gressives at the Auditorium to unite with the republicans at the Coliseum for the overthrow of the commen en- emy. After our attachment to the country, I am sure that above every other consideration we all love the republican party. We are too vigor- ous to be destroyed by an assault from without. Are we not too sensi- ble to be disrupted by discord within? When we last relinquished posession of the government the material well Yeing of the country challenged the admiration of the world. Behold what a metamorposis has been pre- cipitated almost ir the twinkling of an eye, “A rhetorical executive who is an artist in empty pronounceamento, but an amateur in effective performance has advertised to the world that we are too proud to fight even in a just cause and has thereby incurred for us the contempt of all s,ir-respecting na- tions. A subservient congress has re- fused to make us ready to resent the insults our weakness invites. In our domestic concerns the underlying ele- ments of our former solvency have not dissolved, but they have not been conserved. What has happened to disturb our local tranquility? Noth- ing but the incumbency of a demo- cratic administration. Cummins the Man. “The question now recurring is, who, in the campaign on which we are now entering, can most certainly enlist the earnest co-operation of ail those who deeply believe that the pnnc!(i)le to which I have advertised should be speedily crystallized into the law and practice of the land? “We offer you a stateman familiar ¢ | with the past, acquainted with present, forearmed character, he is unexcelled in his_equipment for presidential of- fice.

Despite the realization by the dele- {gates that important business con- fronted it, when they assembled at 3 o'clock after the recess they were good-natured and enthusiastic. It was in sharp.contrast to the surface sentiment at other sessions, Delegations fraternized ' on the | flgor, while American” flags were waved by men and women standing on orchestra chairs and in boxes. The band and professional singers helped out when there was any show of rest- lessness, There was little turbulence, the crowd was orderly and friendly and i* took Chairman Robins only a min- dAe to obtain order when he rapped with his gavel at 3:15.
