‘Rank and File for Man Who Will Guarantee Connection With Menu Card. JANYTHING TO WIN OUT. y\ Democratic Editor's . Efforts | for Old Hi Johnson Worry- ing Republicans, 4 By John H. Tennant. (Special Despatch to Tre Brening World.) CHICAGO, June 8.—The menu card’ fs the oulja board that will furnish . the solution of the con¥ention prob- Jem. The Republican rank and file for elght years has been on the out- Bide looking in at the Federal pte counter and the Republican empty stomachs are certain in the end to combine for the candidate they con- sider has the most promising chance to return the old meal ticket. The small fry leaders who are run- ning this convention and trying to ‘| f@pe the dignity of the old masters of ) other days may foregather in a mysterious eyrie in the Blackstone Jana give out ponderous declarations ot principles, but the Republican ,. doughboys on the streets and im the hotel corridors talk of only one thing, that is did fashioned pap. Old Hi Johnson may rant himself i into apoplectic rage about the treaty, _ Wreservations and Wilson, with Borah Gturnishing a side show verbal aoyclone; Wood's soft-soapers may make as many faces as they please at the Hi boys; Lowden dollars may Jingle pleasingly down the marble *hallways of the Congress and the f Wardheaded political shellbacks who ‘Tere backing Harding may display all the gold and blue eulogiums of the £,Semator they may please, but the un- pinstructed delekate has a receptive ear for only one brand of argument: “Prove to me that your man can win” Anything to win! Talk to the delegates from Massachusetts, the delegates from Ohio, in fact the dele- gates from any of the Republican Btates and you will quickly realize that their confidence in Republican @uccess has been disturbed by the revelations before the Sefiatorial in- vestigation of millions spept in the primaries. ‘Wood's stock has fallen off among the “sure thing” boys, and Lowden, even with the little bosses working for him, doesn't set well with them. Lowden may be pus!.ed over with the added urge of the big interests which 1 ee represented by Gary of the Steel Trust, and Lamont of Morgan & Co, but his nomination will not furnish an overload of enthusiasm to take bat:. home, They are mentioning other names openly and if the situation is mot un- der control of tha machine by .he time the complimentary ballots are disposed of the meal-ticket man will Yoom big in the convention, O14 Hi has the whole second floor front of the Auditorium for his head- quarters, probably twenty rooms in all, It is the moat elaborate head- quarters of all the candidates, On every one's Mps is the question: “Who is paying the freight?” And from every one's lips falls. the sus- picion that a certain democratic edi- tor is the angel.“ The Auditorium +Management maintains an , ansolute silence. .The same Demécratic edi- tor’s newspaper in Chicago in red ink headlines and half-page cartoons, is making a thoroughly charactenstic fight for Hi against the field, A Democratic editor attempting to run a Republican convention is an inno- vation that is giving the Republicans no end of uneasiness, Hi has surely got the old line machine men gye@®- ing, He has enough delegates pledged make slate-making difficult and the irreconcilable Borah may stiffen Hi into upsetting the beans, But, the meal-ticket, boys are on the job and about Wednesday an outlaw strike with no strike funds will not bs ap- pealing.
