} | FRONT SEATS —aniibenen: Moungest Delegate of All Is Woman From Montana Just foe Out of Her Teens. NEGROES IN EVIDENCE. Most of Them Arrived Charges i Prepaid and Without | Mw Return Checks, By John H. Tennant. (oecial Dewpatch to The Evening World.) CHICAGO, June 10.—Consider the delegates to this convention, and to ell other National Republic Conven- tions for that matter. Most of them came to Chicago, charges prepaid and without return checks. The near- est Southern town represented a good half day's ride away, while Florida, Georgia and Louisiana, down at the bottom of the map, call for two or three nights on the sleeper. And so the longer the convention {is con- tinued the leaner becomes the bank- roll and the larger Satan looms with the tempting. doughbag. You can’t talk to a colored man, or & white man for that matter, about instructions when he has a flat wallet, You can’t make him’ see the moral force of caucus loyalty on an empty stomach, Keep this in mind in connection withthe developments of the next few days. A colored brother from South Carolina, talking with Buck Bryant of Washington to- fay, frankly explained the plight of ‘many of his color: “I seed Senator Moses to-day, Mr. Buck, and I says to him: ‘Senator, I id get @ little money from you Wood chaps, and I got here all right, but how we all going to stay here?’ I says. Senator, if you gives me carty blanch and a little money I thinks they stick, They gitting kind of hungry, and dere's money track along the main street.’” I can't furnish the sequel. But all the colored delegates are not hanging on the financial ragged edge, There is one from Tennessee ‘who ig reputed to be worth a million. The colored delegate, is more in evidence about the Wood headquar- ters than about the Lowden camp. He knows where the gravy is, and gravy may in the end win out. Big money came out openly to-day, so that a political Joseph Day eventually may be needed to hammer up the bidding. Colored women boosters handed out red feathers and buttons on the Wood battle line to-day, Even Chi- eago blinked at this. : oe 6 Mt’s a convention of young and mid- dlyj-aged men, The baldheaded and white-haired delegates who gave the picturesque to the dignity and solidity of Republican conventions of the past decade scemingly has wear- fed of being a human sardine to be canned im oots in convention hotels and of being considered poor fish by the big? political packers and sent back home labelled with a candidate not of his choice. Between Chauncey Depew at eighty-six and Uncle Joe Cannon at eighty-four, and the average age of the 958 men sitting in the star- spangled maze of the Coliseum, there ig an obvious and impressive hiatus of forty years. You are struck with this fact as you gaze over the sea of faces, sweltering, under the banners of the forty-eight States and Terri- tories. Fronting the speakers’ plat- form are ranged the big delegations from the great States of New York, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, Only here and there a white head. Outside of Depew, Lou Payn and Aldrich, the men from the pire State are comparatively young men bustling type. The same de- iption holds true of Pennsylvania di Massachusetts, The young man with war honors has pushed the old-timer aside, no doubt of it. Roosevelt at this conven- tion with this changed personnel would write the tick . Uncle Joe Cannon has his:own no- tions of the change. “A convention ig a good deal like a circus—if you see one you see theni all,” he sald to-day. “The youngsters are entitled to the front seats.” In a rwom at the Great Northern, In his shirt sleeves and puffing at a cigar about the size of a coupling pin, the old leader was lead into some wise reflections on politics, past and present, and some observations on things in general, “You are too young to remember the days when Grant was elected, in "12; everybody panicky, everybody running around in circles, as they are to-day.

YOUNGSTERS ENTITLED , SAYS CANNON STRONGEST TRAIT SHOWN BY WOMEN [5 PARTISANSHIP) pa Sere Attitude of Female Workers at Chicago Is One of Sacrifice to Party Welfare. By Leola, Allard. (Special Despatch to The Brening World.) CHICAGO, June 10—It is the same with, wonmen’as with men—they have fitty-eeven varieties of . politicians. But the noticeable facts about women in polttics, as shown to the men at the Republican canvention, are these: ‘They are essentially partigan. They have educated themselves in politics by earnest study, ‘The women show a marked aver- sion to being swayed by the mob. They want to take the time to find out all about the men they are to help to poaitions of importance in their Government.’ It is useless for the politicians to attempt to “bunk” woman. Thetis an art she has mas- tered through years of necesalty in order to get what she wanted, and she knows all the approaches. She has used tt successfully on her fathers, brothers and husbands for centuries, A» for political secrets, they are safer with the women than with the men. When Miss Helen Boswell of ‘New York was chosen by Dr. Butler himself to second his nomination for Presiient, she was told that it was a secret, That very day Mr. Demarest, one of the managers for Dr. Butler, told the news. Miss Boswell hasn't talked about it yet. “NON-PARTISAN WOMAN [8 JUST 0 LEADER OF WOMEN WHO URGES AMITY FOR GOOD OF PARTY __MRS MEDILL MECORMICK JOHNSONIA OF DAY; Women Ain't LENDING Color to ive Gand tolobaventisn, They're’ Laying It On With Paint Brushes; but G.

CHICAGO, June 10, HE women delegates have certainly changed the complexion of this G. 0, P. convention, They've changed it with eyebrow pon eile and dabs of rouge, The guy that sald female delegates would lend color to the affair was all wring.

The feminine touch can do more for politics than the ward heeler’s touch ever did, If the treaty of peace has to be made over, we need some dresemakers on the committee, No treaty should be cam plete until 4¢ has lace insertions. And yet, with all this important work to be done, wo have only « ecattering few women delegates scattering through the department stores, While this Chicago Convention opens up new territory for women’s advancement, the only fields that attract them is Marshall Field's, The dames have twisted Lawrente’s dope around, and now it’s “Don't give up the shopping.” And that's the reason male delegates outnumber the dames at the Coliseum ike barbershop oustomers out- number the manicures.

There ts no unpleasant familiarity, only @ business ground upon which the two sexes Imve an apparently perfect understanding, The women have political faults, but not so many as the men. ‘They can't afford to have, The worst is expected of them because they are new in the game, and when they are doing their best they have an unfair amount of prejudice to overcome. When Mary Garrett Hay of New York, National Chairman of the women, « Mrs, Medill McCormick, former National Chairman, ‘urged the women to put aside all animosity and personal prejudice for the good of the great Republican Party, they replied as one woman that not one of them thought of doing anything else. Mrs, Albert H. Gleason of New York, associate director of the American Service League, explained this attitude by saying: “Women all in their heart of hearts are partisan. Partisanship is the province of women. They are partisan in their horfes, with their families and with religion. They have always taken up the cudgels for their children, and that trait is showing in their political fe, A non-partisan women is just a floater on the first wave of en- thusiasm, She counts for little." When it was suggested to the } women at their big caucus last Sun- {day that they play a man’s game in politics and that they disappoint the men in the petty things expected of them, their spirit was pictured’ ia their long, loud applause. They showed a certain political cunning in scenting what they call the camouflage that the Democratic Party 1s throwing over their womén, with promises of a fifty-fifty repre- sentation which they never can de- live: The women are organizing classes, and one woman, Mrs, Nellie F. Graves, contested delegate from Michigan, 1s starting a block to block educational system for Michigan women, WOMEN WILLING TO TAKE OF- FICE BOY POSITIONS. ‘There is not that spirit that de- mands the appointment to positions that the women are sure they cannot fih without longer experience, Mrs, Vernona Swan of Missouri, for twenty years oashier of a Missouri bank, declared: “We are willing to take office boy positions in the party until we are experienced and can fill the bigger ones. The majority of the candidates worked up from office boys, why can't we?" Politics with women have reached the stage where they abominate being accused of talking nothing but hats, gowns and babies. Mrs, Bila G. Hull Fuller of New York, at one time a member of the School Board in Chi- cago, said: “In. New York we have the poorest as well as the richest women in our organization, One woman runs an elevator in the day- time and she is spending her eve- nings studying polities, The day is not fer off when she will be com- rie oe mates mmm fe ‘aoe [ong are abhorred, a Dur. of the eoerren tian | a1 ie somes cas the polttieat wituation, 2s, late _~ don’t even know why a chicken crosses the road.

And if frankness counted with the candidates, o bunch of these Senators, Governors and Army Generals would admit they were running for a $75,000 Job instead of the President's chair.

CENSUS CORRECT; SAYS GOODRICH £x-Member of War Claims Board Figures City Population on State Military Count. ‘That New York's census figures are praotically correct 1s the assertion of Ernest P, Goodrich of No. 132 Nassau Street, who in July 1917, while @ mem- ‘ber of the War Claims Board, an- nounced New York's population at that time after a careful State Military census to be 6,462,277. Allowing for the annual Increase of 2.2 per cont, Mr. Goodrich says the 1920 population, ac- cording to the State estimate is 6,772, as against the Government figure of 5,621,161. This difference ho explains In two ways. ‘The State cen- sus was taken during the summer rush for New York while the Government census was taken in January. ‘here were Included in the State Military census at least 60,000 persons wno rightfully are not residents of Now York City but so lsted themselves because of business or private reasons, ‘The police check on the census return probally will start in a few days.
