Secretary of War Leaves for St. Louis Tonight with Practically Complete Platform. FIVE NAMED ASSOCIATE BOSSES Washington, June 12.—Secretary of War Baker will be"President Wil- son's personal representative at the democratic national convention. He leaves tonight for St. Louis, carrying with him a practically complete draft of a platform. It had been planned to have the president represented by the man chosen to succeed William F. McCombs as chairman of the demo- cratic national committee. This se- lection has been delayed, however. Mr. Baker has been made fully ac- quainted with the president’s idea on every conceivable situation which may arise. Associated with him in looking after the president's interests will be Senators James, Hughes and Stone, Representative Doremus and Freder- ick W. Steckman, publicity manager of the democratic national committee. The president completed the tenta- tive draft of platform planks in which he is particularly interested yesterday following conferences with various democratic leaders. Cabinet members already have sent to St. Louis drafts of planks relating to matters involv- ing their respective departments. Emphasis was laid today on the fact that President Wilson made no effort to dictate the exact phraseol- ogy of the platform to be considered by the platform committee headed by Senator Stone. “Strangler” Lewis Is Walrus in Water At the Muny Beach “He’s just like a walrus in the water,” remarked Jack Holt, super- visor at Municipal beach, Sunday aft- ernoon, when Strangler Lewis, the big wrestler, played In the water like a big boy. The mat celebrity attracted considerable attention when his iden- tity became known. Mr. Lewis is occupying a bungalow at the Dietz club grounds, near the beach, and is doing real work along the lake shore drive of Carter Lake park. He told an lnzgulrer Sunday after- noon he weighs 238 pounds. Hughes on His Way To the White House Now, Says Murphy Henry Murphy, republican candi- date for county attorney, back from the big G. O. P. convention in Chi- cago, declares nothing can stop Hughes this fall. “He's the people’s candidate, and he is as good as in the White House right now. The way his name was re- ceived on every hand in Chicago, where men from:all over. the country :e}:’e] gg'thered, was certainly a joy to ehold.

Baldrige, one of the Ne- braska delegates to the republican conventién at Chicago, was thrown into the company of John Wanamaker in the most unusual manner. One of the announcements from the convention platform was that 1,000 automobiles were at the serv- ice of delegates to take 'them to the hotels. Outside the convention hall delegates were jumping into machines furnished by the reception commit- tee of the city of Chicago. One drove in front of Mr. Baldrige and the chauffeur op:ned the door. Mr. Bal- drige jumped into the car, which he supposed was cne of the thousand. Tresently an elderly gentleman got in, the door was closed and the car started away. Discovers His Mistake. It was not long bcfore the Oma- han overheard conversation as to_the direction of the car, which explained that he had entered the private car of John Wanamaker by mistake. Before he had time to make an explanation Mr. Wanamaker said his chauffeur would drive MY. Baldrige anywhere he wished to go, the Philadelphia merchant prince learning that his self- invited guest was a delegate and from Omaha, Mr. Baldrige thanked Mr. Wana- maker and excused himself for mak- ing the mistake. Mr. Wanamaker was pleased to entertain a man from Omaha, The sequel to the story is that just twenty-nine years ago Mr. Baldrige THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, JUNE BAKER T0 BE HEAD |Baldrige Motors With Wanamaker BOSS FOR WILSON| by Mistake; They Meet Later on Stage BEGIN TO ARRIVE was a reporter on the Philadelphia Times. The city editor assigned him to interview Mr. Wanamaker on the subject of his trade with the Antilles and South America. Reporter Bal- drige entered the Wanamaker stores and asked for the boss. He was di- rected upstairs, where he went, find- ing a man with coat off and assiduous- ly arranging some boxes. Baldrige the Reporter. “Where may I find Mr. Wanamak- er?” asked Mr. Baldrige, addressing the man with the boxes. “Upstairs in his office,” replied the coatless worker. “I went up to Mr. Wanamaker's private office and was met by a liv- eried colored man, who took my card. After waiting a short while I was received by the man I had spoken to on the lower floor, the man who had been moving boxes. Mr. Wanamaker Comments. Mr. Wanamaker, during the drive, expressed confidence in the success of the republicar party this year, Mr. Baldrige said. In the convention hall, after the automobile incident, Mr. Wanamaker was called to the Ylatform to nomi- nate Fairbanks, following which Mr. Baldrige was called to nominate Bur- kett of Nebraska. When the Omaha man scturned to h' seat Mr. Wanamaker came over to him, made a joking reference to the automobile ride and said: “It is a good thing for the east and the west to get together once in a while.” e — HAL W’KINNEY’S WIN TQ BE CELEBRATED BY A DINNER A group of friends surrounded Tom Dennison, and were speaking highly of Hal McKinney, Dennison’s sensa- tional racing stallion. “Tom, you certainly have got your- self considerable horse,” one fellow exclaimed. Dennison tried to be indifferent, Built by Request—the Chalmers Special for 1917—63 h. p. even though he did like to hear the nice things being said about his horse. “Oh, that's nothing.

BREAD IAWS ARE A MISTAKE or ordinance the weight of a loaf of bread the baker must sell for 5 cents,” says Henry Zimmerman of Hannibal, Mo, treasurer of the Trans-Missis- sii)pl Master Bakers' association, which association is to open its con- vention formally at' the Auditorium this morning at 10 o'clock. “It is a mistake to regulate that, be- cause the cost of material that enters jinto the makin: of bread fluctuates so much, “No, we have no regiilation as to size and weight of loaves in St. Louis or in the state of Missouri. If a baker wants to put thirteen ounces or more or less into his loaf, that is his own business. We sell mostly loaves of thirteen to thirteen and one-half ounc- es down there. Not Merely the Flour, “Flour? No, it is not the cost of flour that has made necessary the smaller loaf of bread. At least it is by no means the cost of flour alone. It is the higher cost of everything that goes into the making of bread. It is the shortening and everything else, even down to the little salt that goes into it, that has greatly increased in cost. “What is the natural thing to do? Make the loaf smaller, that is the only thing, of course, and that is what has been done. “The day of the large loaf of bread is past. I see no hope of its return- ing. “You cannot raise the price of bread. People are in the habit of flymg 5 cents a loaf for their bread. f one baker should charge 6 cents and keep the loaves at the old size, what would happen? His customers 13, 1916. would walk out and say they would trade elesewhere. They would go to the other fellow who for a time might sell a little cheaper.” Missourians Arrive. Mr. Zimmerman is one of sixty delegates from Missouri who came in on a special car early Monday morn- ing for the convention. Most of the Missouri delegates are Nt Louis. Something over 100 delegates ar- rived carly this morning and gathered from Ten 2 iat the Auditorium, although the con- It is a mistake to regulate by law | vention does not open formally until Tuesday forenoon. Among the early arrivals at the Au- ditorium were President P, F. Pe- tersen of Omaha, Secretary T. F. Ngaughtin of Omaha, Treasurer Henry Zimmerman of Hannibal, Mo, A. L. Larrimer of Winterset, la, C. O. Schweickhardt of Burlingtom la., and M. Hoffman of St. Louis, members of the executive committee. An elaborate exhibit of bakers' sup- plies and accessories is being set ur i the Auditorium. All the booth space is engaged for these displays and some very costly exhibits are be- ing installed. Difference of Opinion. Many of the bakers are enthusiastic over the new association of bakers of four states—Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska, Others feel that per- haps after all it is better to have only the state associations. It is said that the matter of whether the bakers shall keep yp this Traus-)\lisaiuipvi asso- ciation or shall again throw their en- ergies entirely into their respective state organizations is to be discussed at the sessions in Omaha. The early attendance, however, and the read sale for booth space for the exhibit already gives signs of a great success for this convention and it is thought there will be no trouble in keeping up the interstate organization. BELOW FREEZING IN THE YELLOWSTONE PARK TODAY No real summer weather is in sight for Omaha yet, says the weather bureau. It's’ cool out west and in Yellowstone park the mercury was below freezing Monday morning. Seven of us—seven large distributers of Chalmers cars— have prevailed on the Chalmers company to build\a Chalmers Special for 1917. There will be only a very limited number of them built— because of the condition of the materials market, the fact that the Chalmers works are at this writing many times overworked and three times oversold on the 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers. It was difficult, indeed, to get even 500 of these Specials and then when we found that there were to be only 500 of them, the seven of us began a friendly contest to obtain the most of them. I feel that I hardly acquired what this territory was enti- tled to, but I have no great complaint to make when I think that the Specials were divided among only seven territories. There are over 900 Chalmers dealers who won't even get one of them. Here’s the story back of the whole thing: We all had such good luck with the 1916 Chalmers 6-40 that we wanted the Chal- mers people to continue this model again for 1917. Back at the works they didn’t want to do it, because they needed the room, the men, materials for this wonderful 3400 r. . p. m. Chalmers. - But why, said we, let go of a car that made such a tremen- dous dent in the public mind on its superior performance?

He is world-famous in engineering circles. Mr. Carter stated that Alaska is one of the grandest countries in the world, averring * that the average American knows but little of the mar- velous development in that rich north- ern land. In mentioning the vast min- ing wealth of Alaska he spoke of the mountains of copper and coal. He told of one coal vein eighteen by twenty-six feet.

They have taken the 6-40 Chalmers as a basis and with no chassis changes to amount to anything since the model was first introduced, they have raised the horsepower up to 63 at 2500 r. p. m.

The notable changes are those which the eye will see at 'a glance: the body equipment has decidedly new tendencies; more sensible; possibly a little more decisive as to colors, and with a number of little lures that will make the average man and 92 per cent of the women insist on possessing.
