By Charles Edward Russell Noted American Economist and Political Expert Attending Republican and Democratic Con ventions for this newspaper. Copyright, 1914, by the Newspaper Enterprise Am ation CHICAGO, Ilk, June 5, 1916—The men at this convention that will really pick the re- publican candidate for president are like a thild with painful memories that has strayed alone into the family pantry. Up there on the shelf is fresh Roosevelt mince pie, piping hot, with hard sauce. But then, how about Old Guard colic? Better go slow that. Easily within reach is a dish of Hughes jam. But the Progteeaieall switch hangs by the door and many an anatomy is still tingling from ‘the last time that was used. So it is slow on the jam also. Here in the cooler is fine Fairbanks ice cream, but we aren’t lookil for ice cream this year. On other shelves are Weeks muffins, Burton hare tack, Cummins breakfast food and other highly-recommended dishes from cookies to cabbage, all of superior quality for anybody that likes that sort of thing and some of them guaranteed 9 be free from colic or trouble with switches. The child in the pantry doesn’t care a whoop for any of them. His fancy is for PIE OR JAM, and the thing he is balancing all the time is the chance of the colic against the chance of the switch. Prophets Can’t Give You Sure Tips, Says Russell, Who’s Had Long Experience If you could remove either, he would take his finger out of his mouth and make up his mind in a flash. As it is, he stands there fiddling and keeps everybody guessing One moment he makes a start for the Roosevelt pie, with loud applause, and you think the thing is as good as settled. And the next minute he has a vivid recollection of what the stand-pat element might do to him, or thinks of Henry Ford and his threats, or gets a warning is hyphens or pacifists, and you are ready to bet on the Hughes jam. The professional prophets go to and fro and look wise and talk as if they had sure tips. But do not be deceived by that. Nothing else that man does is done more easily. I've been covering national conventions for 28 years and never saw one without its set of prophets, none of whom turned out to have any more of a fore- handed cinch on things than anybody else. There isn't any money in the prophet business, but there must be no end of mysterious | satisfaction, judging by the way it is followed! Only one thing is clear—if it is to be pie, it will have to be grabbed in a rush, so as to knock out any thought about colic. And that is where the “old guard” of stand-pats thinks it has the game in hand Best Convention Show, He Says, Since \the Grant-Garfield Affair of 1880 It has 208 votes that it can cast for anybody it chooses from David Lamar, the Wolf of Wall Street, to Oliver Osborne, the myth To these theysadd 416 other delgates equally controlled by other gentlemen that are equally solid agaiff¥t a stampede, and they tell you that all the noise between here and Oyster Bay can't nominate under such circumstances The fact that this year there are no delegation contests, to amount to anything, is a sign that these gentlemen may be sound in their views. Delegation contests mean that the gentlemen that control things are rowing among themselves If they don't themselves they are usually able to put things over as per program Meantime, the child in the pantry is the most interesting puzzle mystery in politics these many years. 4 ‘ In fact, we haven’t had a convention that was as good a show since 1880, when the stampede was to be for Grant, but the fact that emerged was Garfield..
